Getting Started

Install EbonBuilds, create your first build, and turn on Autopilot in a few minutes.

Download

Grab the latest EbonBuilds.zip from the releases page before you start.

Install

  1. Download the latest EbonBuilds.zip from the releases page.
  2. Extract it and put the EbonBuilds folder into the Project Ebonhold add-ons directory:

%LocalAppData%\ebonhold\Interface\AddOns\

Example full path: C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\ebonhold\Interface\AddOns\EbonBuilds\. Do not use a Blizzard retail _retail_\Interface\AddOns path. 3. Restart the game or /reload.

Requires ProjectEbonhold or ProjectEbonhold Enhanced. Some features additionally use Details! if installed.

Optional companion add-ons

Auctionator Affix shopping / AH buyout hints with EbonBuilds vendor/Auctionator/CREDITS.md
Details!: Tiny Threat (PE) Threat meter Details! plugin for 3.3.5a Details!: Tiny Threat (PE)
Details!: Project Ebonhold Echo DPS labels + proc source attribution for Details! Details!: Project Ebonhold (PE)

Extract optional zips (Auctionator.zip, Details.zip full suite when shipped) into %LocalAppData%\ebonhold\Interface\AddOns\ so each folder sits next to EbonBuilds. Prefer Details.zip (core + plugins + PE TinyThreat / ProjectEbonhold); legacy single-plugin zips remain optional.

First login

A one-time panel greets you after logging in. It asks the DPS-tracking consent question (tracking and community sharing are off until you say otherwise -- either answer is one checkbox in Settings if you change your mind), and offers What's new and the in-game guide. It shows once per addon version, then stays out of the way.

Your first build

  1. /ebb opens the main window. Click + New Build.
  2. On the Build tab set title, class, and spec. On Priorities, give the Echoes you care about rank values -- everything else can stay 0 to start.

Let the data teach it

With Details! installed and tracking consented, the Stats views accumulate evidence across runs, and Recommendations proposes specific weight changes -- each with its confidence and a link to the exact decisions behind it. Nothing applies itself; you review and apply.
