Haul

Changelog

• ▶2026.09.03.12026-09-04

  A performance pass, a bug-report button, and a spot in the AddOns menu.

  • Haul now idles quietly. We did a performance pass on the live window. Before this, the window redid all of its work every second whether or not anything had changed: it replayed the whole session twice, re-priced every item, and re-laid out every row in the list, even while tracking was paused. Now a paused window does nothing but keep its buttons in sync, and a running window only refreshes the timer and per-hour figures each second, rebuilding the list only when something new lands. Every refresh also does half the work it used to. If Haul was showing up in your CPU usage on long farm sessions, this is the fix.
  • Report a bug, in one click. There is a new "Report a bug" button at the top of the About tab (also /haul bug followed by a short description). It opens a copyable summary of your setup: versions, price source, the settings that affect tracking, how much the current session has captured, and where you are as the new-session triggers see it. Paste it into your report and we can usually reproduce the problem without a back-and-forth. Your character name, realm, guild, and your loot are never included.
  • Haul is listed in the AddOns menu. Click the AddOns button on the minimap and Haul is there; one click opens the window.

  Tracking, pricing, and sessions are unchanged.

• ▶2026.08.17.12026-08-18

  Updated for World of Warcraft 12.1, Curse of Ula'tek.

  • Marked compatible with 12.1, so the client stops flagging Haul as out of date.
  • Picks up the shared-library fix behind the Lua errors some people saw in combat. If you use Haul's fishing-perception field alongside Single-Button Fishing, update both — the error was reported through Haul but came from SBF.

  No changes to tracking, pricing, or sessions.

• ▶2026.08.04.12026-08-05

  Haul used to be a loot tracker. It now tracks the whole run, and it hands you the entire vocabulary to display it.

  Experience, currencies, kills, reputation, skill-ups and mail are all first-class citizens. Each one had a number before. Now each one has a full set of words: a running total, a per-hour rate, your best single source, and the last one you picked up, all as template tokens you drop straight onto the header bar. 58 new tokens in this release.

  How the tokens read

  Once you know the pattern you can guess almost any token without looking it up. Every category speaks the same four words.

  You want	You type	You get
  the running total	{xp}	everything this session
  the rate	{xp.perhour}	how fast it is coming in
  your best source	{xp.top}	the single biggest contributor, named
  the most recent one	{xp.last}	what just happened

  Swap xp for currency, kills, rep, skill or mail and the same four work. Add .name, .amount or .count to any .top or .last to pull just that piece out instead of the whole formatted phrase, so {kills.top} gives you "Wretched Hooligan x47" while {kills.top.name} gives you just the name.

  Money tokens take .short for the top unit only, or .full for gold silver copper. Bare is short. Any token takes a color: {haul:gold}, {kills:red}, or a hex code if you are particular. And {br} starts a new line, with the bar growing to fit.

  Everything new in this release

  Experience (green) {xp.perhour} {xp.top} {xp.top.name} {xp.top.count} {xp.top.amount} {xp.top.category} {xp.top.category.name} {xp.top.category.amount} the biggest source TYPE, e.g. "Kills +4,433" {xp.last} {xp.last.name} {xp.last.count} {xp.last.amount} {xp.last.source}

  Currency (blue) {currency.name} {currency.perhour} {currency.top} {currency.detail} {currency.last} {currency.last.name} {currency.last.count} {currency.last.amount}

  Kills (red) {kills.perhour} {kills.top} {kills.top.name} {kills.top.count} {kills.last} {kills.last.name} {kills.last.count}

  Reputation (pink) {rep.perhour} {rep.last} {rep.last.name} {rep.last.count} {rep.last.amount}

  Skill-ups (lilac) {skill} {skill.perhour} {skill.top} {skill.top.name} {skill.top.count} {skill.top.amount} {skill.last} {skill.last.name} {skill.last.count} {skill.last.amount} {skill.last.level}

  Mail (gold) {mail.gold} {mail.perhour} {gold.perhour} {mail.last} {mail.last.value} {mail.last.gold} {mail.last.item}

  The last thing of any kind at all {last.kind} {last.name} {last.count} {last.amount} {last.source} {last.value} {last.perhour} Whatever you picked up most recently, whichever category it belonged to. Put {last} on the bar and it narrates your run.

  Already there, and still there

  {haul} {total} {loot} {cash} {gross} {perhour} {gross.perhour} {xp} {currency} {kills} {rep} {rep.amount} {rep.faction} {rep.top} {rep.detail} {mail} {last} {items.count} {items.value} {items.notable} {items.notable.label} {items.last} {items.last.name} {items.last.count} {items.last.value} {time} {time.current} {time.current.ampm} {time.ig} {time.timer} {zone} {zone.full} {zone.region} {zone.zone} {zone.sub} {token} {token.percent} {token.price} {token.trend} {token.value} {source} {flushed}

  Also new

  One color scheme, everywhere. Each category now wears the same color wherever it shows up: the log, the header tokens, and your Gadgets bars all agree. Experience green, kills red, currency blue, reputation pink, skill-ups lilac, coin and mail gold. Set it once and stop thinking about it.

  Tooltips worth reading. They follow your cursor now, and every single one carries the full token reference, so you can look up what goes on the bar without alt-tabbing to a wiki.

  WoW Token trend. The token watch keeps a rolling price history and shows you where the price has been, not just where it is.

  Fixed: runs that got thrown away

  A session only counted as worth keeping if it had loot or a change in your gold. Which meant a battleground hour, a dungeon you auto-vendored your way through, a crafting session, or a mailbox stuffed with auction gold all told you there was "nothing to save" and got dropped on the floor.

  If Haul recorded it, Haul banks it. There is a tab for it, so it counts.

  Fixed: loot landing on the wrong character

  Swap characters in a way the game does not report as a fresh login and your old session stayed open, quietly crediting the new character's loot to the old one. Sessions no longer cross characters, ever. Deliberately resuming a saved run on an alt still works and gets credited to whoever picked it up.

  Fixed: sessions that quietly stopped counting

  With "reload before new session" turned on, changing zones could leave you with no live session at all. Everything you looted from that point on went nowhere. Zone changes now always start a fresh run and flag the sync for the next time you press Save.

  Fixed: vendor-priced items worth nothing

  If you looted something before your client had it cached, Haul priced it at zero. Worse, the zero stuck, to the session and to your saved history, so a good run could go into the books looking like a bad one.

  Every place that prices an item now waits for the item to actually load first. And the zeros already sitting in your history get repaired automatically the next time you log in, so old runs finally read what they were worth.

  Fixed: items you bought counted as loot

  Combine two saved runs and everything you had purchased at a merchant got valued as if you had looted it. Restock a stack of reagents mid-farm and the combined run came out worth considerably more than it earned. Flattering. Also fiction.

  Purchases stay in the vendor ledger where they belong and never inflate a combined run.

  Fixed: experience counted twice

  Quest experience was landing in the quest bucket and the catch-all bucket at the same time, inflating your total. That is corrected, XP now survives a lagging experience bar, and the XP you pick up for walking into a new zone is labeled as discovery instead of guessed at.

  Fixed: the Save button that would not save

  The reload Save fires was being refused by the game outright. It runs through a path the client accepts now, so pressing Save actually syncs.

  Fixed: loot wearing the wrong label

  Fish caught mid-cast are tagged as fish every time. Chests you crack open are no longer tagged as fish, which they never were. The real object you looted is captured instead of inferred. And two of the instant-open fishing chests are now recognized by name.

  Fixed: exclusions that did not stick

  Items you excluded from your gold under an older version never wrote the marker that keeps them excluded, so the exclusion could quietly wander off. Those are backfilled now.

  Lighter the longer you farm

  Every single thing you picked up used to trigger a full rebuild of the session, so a four-hour run cost more frames than a four-minute one, and it was worst exactly when you could least afford it, mid-pull. Updates are batched now. The bar stops charging you rent.

  Polish

  • Quest turn-ins arrive as one batch instead of a scatter of unrelated entries, so the "last" tokens show you the whole handful.
  • The empty Saved Sessions panel told you to press Save. Save syncs to disk and has never created a saved session. New is the button that banks a run, and the panel says so.
  • The "Auto reload every" option could never reload on its own, because the game only permits a reload from your own click. It is labeled as the reminder it always was.
  • The readme named a Reset button that does not exist.
  • The Great Vault readout is gone, and the theme picker moved somewhere less in the way.

  Happy hauling, and may your gold per hour survive contact with the truth.

  GEC Management

• ▶2026.07.26.12026-07-26

  Pause now truly pauses. Anything you pick up while the session is paused — a mail run, a vendor stop, a quick trade — is still captured in the log, but no longer counts toward the session's totals or gold-per-hour. Resume, and counting picks right back up. A future update will add pause editing, so you'll be able to move a pause window after the fact and reclaim anything that should have counted.

  Also ships GECStore 27, the shared data-library update carrying this rule into session records and sync.

• ▶2026.07.25.32026-07-26

  Paused sessions close cleanly now. Logging out — or crashing — while a session was paused used to leave the pause open, which could make that session's active time read wrong on the Data page and in your stats. The session now records the resume at the instant it closes, so active time is always honest.

  Ships the shared data-library update (GECStore 26) that hardens session records for all GEC addons.

• ▶2026.07.25.22026-07-25

  Fixed a background issue that could occasionally record some tracked loot and session events more than once, plus reliability improvements to data tracking and sync. "Owned account-wide" item totals now include your Warband bank.

• ▶2026.07.21.142026-07-22
