# ArtifactMenu

This is a simple World of Warcraft add-on to automate opening the Artifact interface in the upcoming expansion *Legion*. It is my first add-on and was never intended to be particularly complex. The whole point is that:

1. To open the Artifact interface, you must Shift+RightClick on your equipped Artifact weapon
2. It is easier to type `/run SocketInventoryItem(16);`, if you can save it to a macro
3. It is more intuitive to type `/am` or `/artifact` than the above macro
4. Some artifacts are off-hands and require inventory slot #17

This add-on will simplify all of that to just:

* `/artifact`
* `/am` (if you're lazy)
* `/artifactmenu` (if you're forgetful)

The entire LDB frame panel in ArtifactMenu is largely sourced from Incentive Program and I can't be thankful enough. [Incentive Program](https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/incentive-program) is a QoL add-on (much like ArtifactMenu) which makes queuing for Call To Arms satchels as easy as possible. Go check it out!
