SavedInstances
This is an Ace3 addon that keeps track of the instance lockouts saved against your characters. SavedInstances has the following features:
- primary tooltip shows current lockouts for all your characters
- secondary tooltip (per-lockout) shows lockout details including bosses available, ID and time remaining, and can be linked into chat
- tracks the valor points, justice points, honor points and conquest points of all your characters, including weekly caps
- tracks data for all your characters across servers and factions
- can be configured to always show your favorite instances so you can use it like a shopping list
- left-click to open Blizzard's Raid Information window
- right-click to configure SavedInstances
SavedInstances does not come with any knowledge of what raids and dungeons are in the game, it learns them as you go. This means that the addon size and memory footprint can be kept to a minimum, and I don't have to research and provide the names of all the instances in every single language. However, it does also mean that you can't change per-instance settings until you've actually run them yourself. The tracking and configuration of encounters is limited in a similar fashion.
Please discuss it on the forums, help with localization and report or vote on issues and requests.
Known Issues
SavedInstances is pretty good, but it's still not quite perfect. There are currently a few issues:
- lockout time remaining and other features may be off by an hour when your region changes to and from Daylight Savings Time, or if you manually adjust the timezone of your computer.
- if the addon's information is incorrect, you can force it to refresh by opening Blizzard's Raid Information window
- when first installed, SavedInstances has no idea what your other characters are saved to: you'll need to log into them too for their information to be recorded
- installing SavedInstances for the first time while you are currently in a dungeon or raid you are saved to is not recommended and may cause some non-essential parts of the addon to malfunction
- might not be compatible with DockingStation's tooltip scaling feature
LibDataBroker versus FuBar
SavedInstances will create a new button on the minimap, and you can use it to interact with SavedInstances just fine. This addon can also be displayed using a LibDataBroker-compatible display addon. I personally use Chocolate Bar which works quite well.
Official FuBar support was terminated a while ago for a variety of reasons. If you still use FuBar, you may get SavedInstances to work with it using Broker2Fubar.

Roadmap
- Remember who else was saved to the same lockout ID.
- Display window: allow all information to be displayed in a separate window.
- Configurable character column headings: truncate the names and/or use icons.
- Instance reporting: some method for players to quickly share what they're saved to.
- Class-coloured columns: optional.
