WoW Classic Tools
Calculators for reputation and Darkmoon Faire tickets
I finished up the MVP of my Darkmoon Faire Ticket Calculator. The Faire shows up tomorrow, so I've finished in time, and I used the timing to create this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/hlvveq/the_faire_is_here_tomorrow_so_check_out_my/

The Thorium Brotherhood rep calculator got about the website about 1000 page views and is still getting some upvotes on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/hkr44q/i_built_a_thorium_brotherhood_rep_calculator/
I'm shocked at how much of my traffic has been direct (~60%), as opposed to coming from a direct place I shared it. This means that folks are taking my tools and sharing them in other ways. Given my target audience, I suspect that players are seeing my tool and then sharing the link directly with their guild's Discord to show their teammates.
I used my own guild members to dogfood the app and get early feedback, so I'm curious to see what usage looks like in the coming week.

I released earlier drafts, but I've finished what I consider to be the killer feature, making an actual recommendation of what to buy to based on all the math we just finished.
Now it's time to start sharing this and get working on my Darkmoon Faire tool. I've got until Monday before the Faire opens and I'd love to have it ready in time.
We have a real landing page now. The home page will serve as our tool directory and will actually describe the tools. I've also been working on the styling around the website. We've got analytics setup, a robots.txt, a sitemap.txt, all the good stuff.
Alright, the content is properly in place. There are directions now on how to get the quests for reputation and where to go when. It still needs a conclusion, same as the Darkmoon Faire page, but we'll get to that Javascript soon.
The reusable components were there, and I whipped up an MVP of my next tool before I finished the last one. This is a much simpler grind, so it took barely any time at all. This is a reputation I still need to grind out on my main character, and a number of my guildmates still need it as well.
Whipped up the first draft of my calculator for Darkmoon Faire tickets. I haven't finished it to my satisfaction yet, but with the Faire only being in town for a week, and the setup beginning this weekend, I wanted to get an MVP up to let people start using it.
My main character and alt mage have already done this grind. In general, demand for this tool will go down as the game progresses with better necklaces becoming available in ZG and beyond, but it's still one of the easiest to purchase epic necklaces around for casters.
