BAKERS GUILD · PLAYER HANDBOOK

Set up Bakers Guild

Four steps to get your character on Journey. You need access to our guild and Discord server — ask Rye for an invitation.

1. Enable Discord in WoW

  1. Sign in to Discord and make sure you are in our server.
  2. In WoW, open Esc → Options → Social and enable Discord Functionality.
  3. Follow the prompts to link your account, then return to the game.

Our guild’s Discord connection is already set up. If you need access or the link is missing, ask Rye.

2. Install and run the addon

Download AJ Collector 0.10.1

  1. Close WoW completely. In Battle.net, open the game’s cog menu and choose Show in Explorer.
  2. Extract the ZIP. Put the AJCollector folder inside the Forever installation’s Interface/AddOns folder.
  3. Start WoW, enable AJ Collector in AddOns on character selection, and log in.
  4. Type /aj sync. Use /aj journey to see received guild reports in game, or open Bakers Guild and select your character. Allow a minute or two for the first update.

The file should be at Interface/AddOns/AJCollector/AJCollector.toc — without an extra AJCollector folder inside it.

3. Bind your sync macro

  1. Choose your class below and click Copy macro.
  2. In WoW, open /macro, click New, give it a name and choose the question-mark icon. Paste the code.
  3. Drag the macro onto your usual spell’s action-bar slot to keep the same keybind. Test it once, then play normally.

Use a spell you have learned. These names are for the English client. If you choose a different spell, change both the tooltip and cast lines. You can always type /aj sync when travelling without using the spell.

4. Mute guildchat and join the community

  1. Right-click your chat tab (usually General), open Settings, and uncheck Guild in the chat/channel list. Repeat for other tabs if needed.
  2. Message Rye in game or on Discord for an invitation to our in-game community.
  3. Accept the invitation. Open Guild & Communities (J), select the community, and use its chat stream for conversation.

Stay in the guild. Muting the tab only hides the messages on your screen. Journey still uses guildchat to send reports; the community replaces it for everyday conversation.

Need help?

Something is not working
  • No addon / unknown /aj: check the game folder and extra folder levels, enable the addon, then restart WoW completely. /aj status should show 0.10.1. The tested interface number is 16001 (Forever 1.60.1, build 70862).
  • No reports: check guild membership and /aj menu for Pause/Disable. Temporarily show Guild in one chat tab, then try /aj sync outside combat.
  • Guild works, Discord does not: ask Rye/an officer to check the link. Do not create another guild integration.
  • Discord works, Journey does not: wait a minute or two, refresh and choose the right character. If it still fails, contact the maintainer.

Blizzard’s Discord linking instructions

Move, resize or pause the addon

Open /aj journey or … → Open Journey for the in-game hero list, Journey, equipment, professions, money and map. It shows guild reports received while you were online, saved locally; it cannot fetch website history or Armory directly. Ask other players to sync if they are missing. The new UI/map APIs still need real-client verification.

Drag the panel background to move it. Open … or /aj menu to change scale (60–150%), reset its position, Pause/Resume, or Disable/Enable. Size, position and disabled state are saved per character; pause lasts for the session.

Last sync measures time since a confirmed guildchat echo, not delivery to Discord or Journey. Sync * means changes still need a confirmed full update. /aj enable enables reporting and clears pause.

How reporting works — and its limits
  • Why a macro? Timer callbacks ran in the tested client but did not deliver guild reports. A real button/key press sends them. No timer or event sends chat automatically.
  • Why the delay? The spell shortcut reports at most once per minute. Position is attempted each accepted sync; profile, surname, money, professions, equipment and queued deaths go in a full batch at most every five minutes, on the next press. The website refreshes roughly once per minute. Failed full attempts also wait for the next window.
  • Snapshots, not a full gameplay log: missing reports cannot reconstruct earlier activity. Presence means a report arrived within ten minutes, not proof of a live login. Carried money excludes the bank; daily history is saved, but charts are not available yet.
  • Journey items: only green or better with known quality appear. The first gear snapshot is a baseline; re-equipping the same item does not repeat a milestone. Equipment still shows the full reported loadout.
  • Deaths: combat data may show a killing blow, only the last damage, or an unknown cause. The client callbacks still need in-game verification. Up to 20 deaths wait in memory for a full sync; reload/logout loses unsent observations. A corpse login is not a new death.
  • Armory: first name and reported surname link EU PvP profiles. Data, portraits and item details can be cached, incomplete or unavailable. The roster still cannot separate two characters with the same first name.
  • Other limits: a maximum of 12 characters, sampled movement for the last 20 minutes, three recent zone visits, and profession milestones in five-skill steps. First mount is a manual /aj mount report. No automatic quest/drop collector or shared voting is included.
  • Privacy: anyone who can open Journey can see reported names, positions, gear, professions and money. Write access to the linked Discord channel must stay limited to trusted members; names are not game-account authentication.
  • Client support: features simulated in tests still need verification in Forever. Ordinary Lua and human key presses are not official Blizzard approval or a guarantee against policy changes.
