Bloodforged Filter

A tiny Auction House quality-of-life addon for Ascension WoW (Conquest of Azeroth, 3.3.5a).

Level-60 Bloodforged epics flood the Auction House and bury the items you're actually shopping for. Bloodforged Filter hides any Browse result whose name contains a blocklisted word (default: bloodforged) and neatly compacts the rows that remain — so the good stuff isn't lost in the noise. Add your own words to hide anything else you don't want to see.

No libraries, one Lua file, ~10 KB. Settings persist account-wide.

Features

• One-click toggle — a "Hide Bloodforged" checkbox appears next to the stock "Usable Items" checkbox on the Browse tab, with an "N hidden" counter.
• Custom blocklist — hide any word, not just Bloodforged (/bff add <word>).
• Rows compact up — no gaps where hidden items were.
• Completely safe — bids, buyouts, tooltips and shift-click links always act on the item you clicked, never a mismatched one (see How it works below).

Install

Recommended — from Releases (cleanest):

1. Open the Releases page and, under Assets, download BloodforgedFilter-x.y.z.zip.
2. Unzip it and drop the BloodforgedFilter folder into your Ascension client's Interface\AddOns\ directory (the folder containing Wow.exe / Interface\ — in the Ascension Launcher, use Options → Open game location).
3. Restart the game or type /reload.

If you use the green “Code → Download ZIP” button instead: it gives you a folder named BloodforgedFilter-main. Open it and copy the BloodforgedFilter folder from inside it (not the outer -main one) into Interface\AddOns\. The folder sitting in AddOns\ must be named exactly BloodforgedFilter, or the game won't list the addon.

Usage

Open the Auction House and tick Hide Bloodforged, or use the slash commands:

Command	Does
/bff	show status
/bff on · off · toggle	enable / disable filtering
/bff add <word>	hide results containing <word> (case-insensitive)
/bff del <word>	stop hiding <word>
/bff list	show the current blocklist
/bff reset	reset the blocklist to just bloodforged

Pages stay real 50-result server pages, so a page that's mostly Bloodforged shows fewer rows — the "N hidden" counter tells you why. (The stock "1–50 of N" text can look slightly off on a filtered page; cosmetic only.)

How it works (safety)

The addon can't just delete rows — the Auction House indexes items by position, so hiding a row would shift every index and you could bid on the wrong item. Instead, it keeps a map from the on-screen (filtered) position to the real auction index, and re-points every action path — selection, bids, buyouts, tooltips and shift-click links — at the real index. It's verified against the stock 3.3.5 UI source and covered by an offline test suite, so you can never bid on or buy a different item than the row you clicked.

If anything ever goes wrong during a filtered redraw, the addon disables itself for the session and the Auction House reverts to 100% stock behavior. It also chains cleanly with other AH-enhancement addons (it calls through to whatever was there before it).
