Quickstart

EmpireManager runs on three ideas.

1. Every character has a Role. Tick what they do - Auctioneer, Banker, Artisan, Gatherer - and the Storage Rules route to them accordingly.
2. One set of Storage Rules, shared by every character. You say “herbs go to Warband Tab 1, ore goes to Warband Tab 2.” Every alt follows that, always.
3. EmpireManager stays out of your way and handles the rest. It wakes up when you open a bag, bank, mailbox, or vendor, then goes quiet again. Lightweight by design - no memory bloat.

Storage Rules

#

One set of rules. Shared across your account. Edit it once, it applies forever.

Each row is a rule: which profession/category, which destination. Priority is list order - the first matching rule wins. Full destinations spill into the next matching rule.

Storage Rules cover these category groups:

Roles

#

Each character can hold one or more roles. Roles tell EmpireManager which items belong to which character - some pair with the Storage Rules (Artisan, Gatherer), others define routing on their own (Auctioneer, Lockpicker, etc.).

• Artisan - crafter for one or two professions. Profession mats route to them via the Storage Rules.
• Gatherer - herbalist, miner, or skinner. Same pairing as Artisan.
• Auctioneer - receives unbound BoE gear for the Auction House (and disenchant routing when paired with an Enchanting Artisan).
• Banker - the designated mail recipient for a Guild Bank. Auto-set when a character is named in a Guild Bank or Character Bank Storage Rule.
• Lockpicker - receives lockboxes.
• Zookeeper - receives caged battle pets and pet consumables.
• PvPer - receives PvP tokens (Marks of Honor, etc.).

Assign roles in the Sidecar (click any character row in the Dashboard). One character can hold any combination.

Triage Is the Day-to-Day Verb

#

Open Triage and the addon:

1. Scans the current character’s bags and any open bank.
2. Classifies every item as Keep, Route, Stash, or Vendor - Keep items are hidden, the rest show up with a concrete action next to each one.

You see every move before it happens. Nothing leaves your bags until you click a button. Right-click a row to skip it for this run. And if no rule matches an item, it stays put - the addon never invents a destination.

1. Install

#

Download the latest release.

2. Register Your Roster

#

Two options:

Option A - Log in once per character. Each login auto-registers that character into EmpireManager’s shared database.

Option B - Bulk import via Get Characters. Log into your Battle.net, then paste the generated import string into the Import/Export window (or run /em ie). Every character is registered and ready to go - their details fill in the first time you log in on each one.

3. Create Your Storage Rules

#

1. Click the Storage tab in the Dashboard.
2. Click the Add Rule icon (located at the top right).
3. Pick a Category, a Bank Type, and a tab (or leave blank for “any tab”).
4. (Optional) Pick an expansion filter.
5. Save.

Repeat for every Category you care about.

4. Run Triage

#

Log into any character with stuff to sort. Open the Triage window - either type /em triage, click the minimap button, or hit the button in the Dashboard. The window lists every item your rules have something to say about, sorted into Route / Stash / Vendor. Action buttons appear when the matching window is open - Stash at the bank, Route at the mailbox, Vendor at a vendor - so one click clears that category.

That is the core loop. Configure once. Farm. Open Triage. Click. Done.
