Toolbox is a player-created Lua add-on that brings combat information, crafting plans, activity tracking, location tools, and notifications together in configurable windows and heads-up displays. Its central Toolbelt can combine buffs, debuffs, health, focus, Vigor, consumables, equipment condition, and target information into one movable strip.[1]
Versions 1.8.0, 1.9.0, and 1.10.0 are approved in the Community Addons catalog. Notes identifying the version that introduced a feature remain useful history, but those features no longer require manual installation.[2]
Toolbox is installed through the in-game Community Addons window. It is unrelated to items sold through the Add-On Store.

Settings and backups
Settings are saved per character. The settings window can export a named setup or import a setup shared by another character on the same computer. Importing makes a copy, so later changes remain independent.
On clients with Lua API 39 or later, Toolbox 1.9.0 uses the game's dated saved-file backups before resets, setup imports, and the first start of a new version. Back up now creates one on demand, and Restore can reinstate a selected copy. Manual file backups remain useful before moving computers or making major changes.[2]
Optional market values and network access
Estimated Loot Tracker values are off by default. Enabling Estimated values (SotANET) makes Toolbox request 90-day average sale prices from shroudoftheavatar.net. The player must also grant Toolbox's separate Internet permission in the add-on manager. Toolbox sends item names, caches returned prices for 24 hours, and declares no other network host; as with any web request, the remote site can see the player's IP address.[1]
The crafting planner can also show material costs, estimated sale value, and estimated profit. All other documented Toolbox features work without this optional price lookup.
Troubleshooting and support
- Start with
/toolbox help; the bundled guide tracks the installed version. - Use
/lua check toolboxwhen the package does not load, and/lua reloadafter changing local files.[3] - If a window is misplaced or a configuration has become troublesome, open
/toolbox settingsto restore defaults or import a known setup. - Report problems through the Toolbox support repository. Include the Toolbox version and the game build number.
