The '''Band of Servitude''' drops off the Priest Aspects in [[Zul'Gurub]]: [[High Priestess Jeklik]], [[High Priest Venoxis]], [[High Priestess Mar'li]], [[High Priest Thekal]], and [[High Priestess Arlokk]] at an approximative 5% rate.

==Patches and hotfixes==
−
The '''TOC format''' for files defines information about each [[AddOn]] installed, as well as specifies which .xml and/or .lua files needs to be loaded. It is currently required for an addon to be recognized, show up in the addons list and be loaded. The TOC filename must match the folder name in order for it to be recognized by WoW; however, any other files can be named whatever you want as long as they have the proper extension and are listed in the TOC or in an XML file inside <Script> or <Include> tags.

−
== Client Recognized Tags ==
 
−
Each tag is preceeded by <code>## </code>, some postfixed with a localization label. Each occupies one line.
 
−  
−
<code>Title</code> and <code>Notes</code> can be localized for other languages. For a complete list of localization labels, see [[API GetLocale]].
 
−  
−
=== Interface ===
 
−
The interface number is a way of telling WoW which version of the client it was made for. If there is a version mismatch, the AddOn is disabled by default. However, if the user explicitly turns off version checking ("Load out of date addons") the AddOn will continue to function regardless of what the interface version number in the .TOC file says. To get what # to put read [[HOWTO: Get Current Interface Number]].
 
−  
−
## Interface: 30100
 
−  
−
Notes: If the Interface number is too old, you must change it in the .TOC file. Ticking "Load out of date addons" won't force it to load. This edge case will be apparent if the Addon on the Addon frame on the character select screen says "Incompatible" next to it.
 
−  
−
=== Title ===
 
−
This text is what is displayed in the AddOns list located during user selection. It also appears when you mouseover the name of the AddOn in the WoW Addons list. Localized versions can be included by appending a hyphen followed by the localization label. The appropriate label will be shown to the user.
 
−  
−
## Title: My Addon
 
−
## Title-deDE: Titel
 
−
## Title-frFR: Titre
 
−  
−
<code>Title</code> also supports the addition of color, similar to the way [[ItemLink|item links]] are colored internally. This will display "-Ace2-" in a foam green color.
 
−  
−
## Title: ag_UnitFrames |cff7fff7f -Ace2-|r
 
−  
−
=== Notes ===
 
−
The message that appears under the AddOn name when you mouseover the name of the AddOn in the WoW AddOns list. Localized versions can be included by appending a hyphen followed by the localization label. The appropriate label will be shown to the user.
 
−  
−
## Notes: This is my first AddOn.
 
−
## Notes-deDE: Informationen
 
−
## Notes-frFR: Texte
 
−  
−
Notes: Like [[TOC format#Title|Title]] (above), Notes may also contain color tags.
 
−  
−
=== RequiredDeps ===
 
−
This metatag is to force the WoW client to only load this AddOn if a functional dependency exists on the system. Some AddOns make use of 3rd party libraries and AddOns in order to function properly. If any of the required dependencies are missing, the AddOn will fail to function. The names used should be the directory names of the AddOns. The list is comma seperated.
 
−  
−
## Dependencies: someAddOn, someOtherAddOn
 
−
Alternatively you could also use:
 
−
## RequiredDeps: someAddOn, someOtherAddOn
 
−  
−
'''Note''': ''Dependencies'', ''RequiredDeps'', and ''Dependancies'' [sic] all give the same result.
 
−  
−
=== OptionalDeps ===
 
−
Optional dependencies are external libraries or AddOns which can be used by the AddOn to use and implement their functionality if they exist. If the optional dependencies are not found on the system, the AddOn will continue to function, however, the AddOn using Optional dependencies must be written to work without these dependencies in order for the AddOn to function without them.
 
−  
−
## OptionalDeps: someAddOn, someOtherAddOn
 
−  
−
=== LoadOnDemand ===
 
−
As of patch 1.7, AddOns can be loaded on demand rather than always loaded when the user first logs in. If this is enabled, this addon must be loaded by another addon at some later point. This is useful in saving memory by avoiding loading special-purpose addons.
 
−  
−
## LoadOnDemand: 1
 
−
## LoadOnDemand: 0
 
−  
−
=== LoadWith ===
 
−
New since patch 1.9. Together with LoadOnDemand, this gets your AddOn loaded when one of these AddOns (which would usually be Blizzard UI modules like Blizzard_AuctionUI) is loaded.
 
−  
−
## LoadWith: someAddOn, someOtherAddOn
 
−  
−
=== LoadManagers ===
 
−
Added in patch 2.1. If one of the addons listed in this directive is present, your addon will be treated as LoadOnDemand (with the assumption that the other addon will take responsibility for loading yours when needed). If no addons listed here are present, your addon will load normally. For a useful application of this, see [http://www.wowace.com/projects/addon-loader AddonLoader].
 
−  
−
## LoadManagers: someAddOn, someOtherAddOn
 
−  
−
=== SavedVariables ===
 
−
Used since interface version 2150, Saved Variables are now the current way of storing data in between sessions. These variables are loaded when the client is started, or when the UI is reloaded. The SavedVariables metatag now replaces the function RegisterForSave which is now no longer available to addon authors (it's protected). Note that saved variables are not completely loaded during the OnLoad event and thus must be assumed to contain nil values until the event ADDON_LOADED has been invoked with arg1 set to the name of your Addon's folder.
 
−  
−
The value for the tag is a comma-seperated list of variables.
 
−  
−
The file that stores SavedVariables is
 
−
/WTF/Account/<account name>/SavedVariables/<addon name>.lua
 
−  
−
## SavedVariables: someVariable, someOtherVariable
 
−  
−
This is more powerful than registering your variables for save in the script, since this will be honored even if your AddOn is disabled by the UI, or because of an error or version mismatch.
 
−  
−
==== SavedVariablesPerCharacter ====
 
−
This tag behaves exactly like [[#SavedVariables|SavedVariables]] except that the variables are saved on a Per-Character basis. This tag only used to use character names to differentiate between characters, but now uses both the realm name and the character name.
 
−  
−
The file that stores SavedVariables is
 
−
/WTF/Account/<account name>/<realm name>/<character name>/SavedVariables/<addon name>.lua
 
−  
−
## SavedVariablesPerCharacter: somePercharVariable
 
−  
−
:Note: SavedVariablesPerCharacter are ''not'' available to ''any'' other character. If you need them to be, then use SavedVariables instead.
 
−  
−
=== DefaultState ===
 
−
Determines whether or not this addon is enabled by default when installed. If it is set to disabled, the user must explicitly turn it on in the AddOns interface located during user selection. If this tag is not specified the default is enabled.
 
−  
−
## DefaultState: enabled
 
−
## DefaultState: disabled
 
−  
−
The enabled/disabled state of all the installed addons will be written to <code>WTF\Account\{youraccount}\AddOns.txt</code>, and this file overrides the old <code>DisabledAddOns.txt</code> file, which will still be loaded for backwards compatiblity.
 
−  
−
=== Secure ===
 
−
This header field was added to the Blizzard_ AddOns that are part of the default UI in 1.11. It's exact purpose is unknown, but one possibility is that it tells the client whether it should look for a signature for the AddOn or not.
 
−  
−
## Secure: 1
 
−  
−
== Non-Standard Tags ==
 
−
It is possible to add more information using the ## directive, and some 3rd party programs even make use of some information provided. Below are some commonly used in addons.

=== Ace2 Standards ===
 
−
Unlike Ace, Ace2 picks up AddOn metadata directly from the TOC file. Special processing is done on certain fields, namely '''Version''' and '''X-Date''', so that you can use CVS or Subversion keywords such as $Rev$ as their value.
 
−  
−
In addition to the regular fields, Ace2 also looks for the following:
 
−
*X-Date
 
−
*X-eMail
 
−
*X-Website
 
−
*X-Category
 
−  
−
The following recognized Ace2 AddOn categories are declared in AceAddon.lua.

== Maintaining Addons ==
 
−
You can update your addons while the client is running by making changes to your LUA and XML files and reloading the UI (<code>/console ReloadUI</code>), but there are some important things to note:<br />
 
−
<span style="color: #ff0000">''all of the following require a full restart''</span>
 
−
* Changing the TOC, such as adding or removing saved variables and/or dependencies and referencing script files.
 
−
* Adding media files such as audio files, fonts, and graphics.
 
−
* Adding script files (even if you reference them in an XML file that was already seen and loaded by the client and if they are referenced in the TOC, but not present in the folder, before running the client).
