VaultSCAN v1.0.0 — First Major Stable Release
RELEASE BODY
VaultSCAN v1.0.0 is our first major stable release for World of Warcraft Retail. This release introduces account wealth history and strengthens bank-balance reliability, while preserving the fast, minimalist character dashboard players already enjoy.
Designed for Adventurers
VaultSCAN was built around a simple philosophy: useful information shouldn't require complicated menus, excessive configuration, or unnecessary distractions. Whether you're a casual adventurer, dedicated collector, or longtime alt enthusiast, VaultSCAN helps you understand your characters, monitor your wealth, and keep track of your journey across Azeroth.
Open your dashboard, find the information you need, and get back to the adventure.

Gold & account wealth
- View individual character gold, combined character gold, Warband Bank gold, and total wealth.
- Follow recorded account wealth with a rolling 30-day trend graph and a gain/loss summary.
- Hover over recorded points to see the snapshot date, saved balance, and change from the previous snapshot.
- View how many days and snapshots are represented, along with starting and last-recorded totals.
- Preserve the last recorded Warband balance if verification is unavailable; mark estimated totals clearly.
- Automatically attempt bank verification, with a fallback reminder when a bank visit is needed for a new daily snapshot.
Character dashboard
- View tracked characters across realms with class-colored names, class icons, level, item level, faction, and last-played date.
- Sort columns, resize the window, and remove obsolete tracking entries without touching actual game characters.
- See weekly recorded item-level history in a tooltip.
Playtime and interface
- Review recorded playtime per character and combined time across your tracked roster.
- Access the dashboard using a draggable minimap button or the /vaultscan chat command.
- Enjoy a dark, minimalist standalone UI with recognizable game icons and clear wealth statistics.
v1.0.0 changelog / what’s new
- Introduced account wealth history with daily verified snapshots and a compact 30-day trend chart.
- Added graph point tooltips, changes between snapshots, start/last snapshot balances, and tracked-period indicators.
- Added visual gain/loss trend coloring and individually plotted history points.
- Added Warband Bank verification safeguards to avoid treating unavailable data as verified zero gold.
- Added automatic verification attempts and an at-most-once-per-day fallback reminder when a snapshot requires bank access.
- Added last-recorded and estimated-status labels for cached Warband balances, with smaller supporting text.
- Clarified the difference between current account totals and the last fixed daily wealth snapshot.
- Refined dashboard readability, including left-aligned table content, enlarged character names, and iconic footer labels.

Installation & Setup
Install VaultSCAN through the CurseForge app for World of Warcraft Retail, or install the release ZIP manually.

- Review character details, account gold, playtime, item-level history, and wealth trends.
- If a new daily wealth snapshot cannot verify your Warband balance automatically, follow the one-time reminder and visit an accessible Warband Bank.
