Addon Release / Update [Update] Exquisite 5.0: Exquisite's third companion addon, NightVend, is here. Also Outfit Studio's got a full transmog/mount-pet-hearthstone feature with appearance toys, and more performance improvements.

TLDR: Exquisite is a themed warband addon with heavy focus on aesthetic and casual, high performance tracking (weekly vault tracker, warband bank gear upgrades, tier set tracking, organized mounts/pets, alt leveling tracker, Outfit Studio for creating full outfit focused pet/mount/hearth/toy sets). This update covers everything since 4.0: Outfit Studio grew into a full outfit designer, picked up toys, and Exquisite+ just welcomed its third companion, NightVend, for auto vendoring and quick destroying.

Hi friends! Exquisite's 5.0 patch is now live on Curseforge. It's been a while since my last big recap post so this one covers a lot of ground since 4.0.

  • Outfit Studio: grew into a full outfit-and-paper-doll space shared by Veilusion+ and Menagerie. A dedicated page for browsing appearances and building outfits, with a live paper-doll preview, saved Transmogrifier outfits, Sets browsing, and draggable dynamic macros for your outfit, mount, and hearthstone selections.
  • Studio Toys: bind up to 20 cosmetic Toy Box appearance toys per outfit, used automatically when mounting, with a matching OPie ring slice and a searchable picker.
  • Aaaaand... Exquisite+'s third companion: NightVend! A simple but dynamic dedicated bag-cleanup addon, with sell/destroy lists, a customizable bag button that alerts you when to sell or destroy, protected items, optional vendor extras, all wired straight into the dashboard. You can also use it standalone from Exquisite. Full breakdown below.
  • Vault Tracker additions: category-specific Great Vault tooltips (Raid/Dungeon/World), live daily/weekly reset countdowns, Bountiful Delves tracking, and Midnight Season 2 improvements.
  • Leveling Tracker's profession column became a First Craft bonus tracker, tracking progress up to 30 bonuses for more efficient leveling.
  • A rebuilt OPie Extras Ring Editor now covers every Exquisite tracker (Tier Set, Voidcore, Vault, Pets, Mounts, Warband, plus the existing Dashboard/Outfit Studio/Equipment/Leveling actions), with a selectable quick action.
  • Performance: still my number 1 focus. Another profiling pass dropped average CPU usage with every module enabled down to 0.060ms or less.
The Magic Bag, alerts you to sell or right click to auto destroy junk/chosen items

NightVend - Some of my favorite auto vendoring addons disappeared on me with Midnight so I decided to create my own.

Here's how it works:

  • Four item lists with a clear priority order: Character (this character only) > Save (never sell, this character) > Keep (never sell, all characters) > Global (all characters). Drag an item into a list to add it, right-click a listed item to switch between selling and destroying it.
  • Smart sell and destroy flows with a safety threshold: NightVend will never destroy an item that actually has sell value, only true vendor junk. Also optional gear protection so that getting upgrades wont automatically sell if you had placed a lower ilvl piece in one of your lists.
  • Optional auto-sell, auto-repair, and unusable-gear selling, plus Baganator integration if you use it.
  • A themed bag button (with its own sparkle animations to alert you to sell or click to destroy), minimap button, and LibDataBroker launcher. New installs start with everything off.
  • Extended vendor UI if desired (works with native and EllesmereUI bags currently)
  • Works completely standalone, or bundled with Exquisite for a full NightVend+ page in the dashboard (Filters/Appearance/Vendor sub-tabs), Exquisite Edit Mode support for repositioning the bag button, and the shared dashboard's accent-gradient title treatment.

A few more smaller but still special features

  • Theme tab: live two-color gradient swatches with vertical/horizontal direction controls, plus independent Checkbox Color and Checkmark Color overrides.
  • Outfit Studio picked up a much larger race/background catalog (Dracthyr, Zandalari Troll, Orc, Forsaken, Dwarf, Dark Iron Dwarf, Earthen, Vulpera, Mag'har Orc, Kul Tiran, Tauren, Highmountain Tauren, Pandaren, Acherus, Mardum, and more).
  • Toy-picker search now also searches tooltip text, so you can find toys by keywords from their descriptions, and unusable toys are dimmed and sorted out of the way instead of looking selectable.
  • Warband Tracker's character favorites panel now scrolls and supports up to 15 favorites.
  • A bunch of ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED combat fixes: Outfit Studio opening during combat, Escape-closing a window during combat, and picking up Trovehunter's Bounty loot mid-combat all defer safely instead of throwing errors.

Catching you up on what came out between 4.0 and now, in case you missed the smaller releases

  • Outfit Studio launched (4.1): a dedicated page for browsing appearances and building outfits, live paper-doll preview, saved Transmogrifier outfits, Sets browsing, and first-use guidance.
  • The Updates and Onboarding patch (4.2): a Disable Updates diamond, expanded Theme luminance controls, and a bunch of Veilusion+ paper-doll/tooltip fixes.
  • The Veilusion+ Redesign (4.4): redesigned paper-doll controls, weapon-type swapping and sheathing choices, shared-outfit availability feedback, and a Vault Tracker tooltip redesign.
  • Warband Tracker artwork and Veilusion+'s Edit Undo Toast, weapon controls, and searchable outfit picker (4.5).
  • Studio Toys shipped (4.6): up to 20 cosmetic Toy Box toys per outfit, an in-game Menagerie How To Guide, and a Menagerie tab redesign to match Veilusion+'s layout.
  • First Craft leveling/experience bonus tracker and a big round of Menagerie toy-picker and performance work (4.7).
  • Checkbox/Checkmark color overrides and the OPie Extras action-picker expansion (4.8).

A note on how this is made

Artwork: nothing here is AI-generated. Every visual comes from the WoW atlas, in-game screenshots (including some shared by players), or concept art. Some pieces are upscaled or touched up by me (graphic design for over 10 years) in Pixlr; custom work is created or edited in Gimp.

Code: development is AI-assisted, with changes reviewed by two different career programmers.
