Wishlists

Guides: How to make your first wishlist | How to set up wishlists for your guild | How to prepare wishlists for new content

A wishlist tells your guild which items your character wants most, with your highest priority at the top. Your guild decides how to use those ranks when giving out loot. Wishlists are optional and separate from prios, which rank characters for an item.

How do I make or edit my wishlist?

1. In your guild's top navigation, open Wishlist > Your character's name.
2. In Wishlist, check that the numbered list is the one your guild asked you to use.
3. Type an item name into the search field and select it, or press Add beside an item in the popular-items panel. Repeat to add more items.
4. Drag the items into order and press Save at the bottom.

To open another character's editor, see how to open the wishlist and loot editor.

You can edit your own lists when your guild allows it. Editing someone else's lists requires permission. If your list is locked, contact an officer. If wishlists are disabled, the section is hidden. See Wishlist locks and visibility for the rules.

Can I see popular items while editing?

The popular-items panel (such as Popular Priest Items) shows up to 50 items per spec from wishlists across TMB, not just your guild. It starts on your character's spec. If yours is not set, it selects the spec with the most wishlist entries. Use the spec tabs to switch lists; each list combines all roles for that spec.

The number after each item name counts wishlist entries, not unique players. Source abbreviations follow the count; hover over one to see its full name. Hover over an item for its tooltip, or click it to open your guild's item page in a new tab. Click the panel's heading to open the public statistics page in a new tab. See Wishlist statistics for how the counts work. Popularity is not a recommendation or a rule for ranking your items.

Press Add to put an item at the end of your unsaved wishlist, then reorder it and press Save. Items already in your list show Added. Your guild's size limit still applies. Add buttons are hidden when you cannot edit the list.

What do the wishlist numbers mean?

Each character can have up to ten separate wishlists, numbered 1 through 10. Each list has its own items and order.

Use the wishlist dropdown in the editor to choose a list. Save your changes before switching, because switching opens another page.

What is the current wishlist?

The guild chooses one number as its Current Wishlist. TMB uses that list by default around the site. The other numbered lists are called inactive.

For example, if the guild chooses Wishlist 2 as current, members' second lists become the default. Their first lists still exist.

Guilds often use a new list for each content phase, such as switching when Blackwing Lair opens after Molten Core.

Changing the current number does not copy, clear, or lock any list. An inactive list can still be edited if the guild's lock rules allow it. It may be a list for future content, not necessarily an old list.

Can we name our lists or limit their size?

Yes. In Guild > Settings, enable Use custom wishlist names to name each list, such as “Phase 2.” These names apply to that numbered list across the guild, not just to one character. Removing the custom names returns the lists to numbered labels.

Max Wishlist Items sets the size limit for all wishlists, up to 100 items. The editor shows your guild's limit. Lowering it does not immediately trim saved lists, but the new limit applies when a list is resubmitted. For setup steps, see How to set up wishlists for your guild.

How do I change the order or remove an item?

Drag an item to change its place in the list, then save. The item at the top has rank 1.

Use the remove control beside an item to take it out of the form. Clear wishlist removes all items from the selected list's form. Press Save to keep either change. Clearing one numbered list does not clear the others.

TMB can store more than one entry for the same item. Check for unwanted duplicates, especially after importing a list.

What do Note, OS, and Received mean?

These controls belong to an individual wishlist entry. Save after changing them.

Turning off Note hides its text field. To delete the note, erase the text and save.

Marking an entry Received does not add an assigned item to the character's loot history. Clearing the marker does not delete an assigned item either. Use Assign Loot or the character's Loot Received section to record what the character actually received.

Can I import a list from a gear planner?

Use the editor's Import wishlist button for the supported Sixty Upgrades or WoWSims exports listed for your expansion. It accepts exported JSON text—the data from the planner's export feature, rather than the address of your planner page.

1. Choose the numbered wishlist you want to edit.
2. Click Import wishlist and paste the exported JSON text.
3. Select Import to wishlist.
4. Check the items that appeared, put them in your preferred order, and press Save.

Importing adds items to the list already in the open form. It does not replace that list or save it. If you want to replace the list, use Clear wishlist before importing, then review the result before saving.

Check import messages and the resulting list for missing or duplicate items, especially if you already had items in the form. Put the items you want most first before saving.

Where can I view and compare wishlists?

Your character profile shows the current wishlist. Use show inactive wishlists to reveal other numbered lists that contain items.

The Roster page and loot table pages let you compare wishlists. Their wishlist selectors can show the current list, another number, or all lists. Changing that selector only changes what you are viewing; it does not change the guild's Current Wishlist setting.

Lists can be displayed in rank order or grouped by dungeon. Grouping by dungeon does not change the saved ranks. Other members' lists may be hidden by the guild's visibility settings.

What happens when I receive an item on my wishlist?

When loot is submitted through Assign Loot, TMB can remove matching wishlist entries or keep them marked Received, depending on the choices made on that form.

Matching can affect your other numbered lists too, not only the current one. It can also match an item through its token or reward relationship. If the same item appears more than once within a list, one assigned item does not fulfill every copy.

Adding a new item directly to Loot Received has a separate option to mark matching prios and wishlist entries as received. It does not use the batch assignment's delete option.

Some items need manual updates, and reversing an assigned item does not automatically recreate wishlist entries that were removed. See Loot assignment and Received loot for the full details.
