What version(s) of WoW are you using?
Retail
What problem are you experiencing that led to you asking for this feature?
I would like to be able to identify at glance what armor items are relevant for me based on the ratio between the item's iLvl and my current iLvl.
What solution would you like?
Add an option exclusive with 'Item Quality Text Color' that is "Relevant Item Level Text Color' (or similar)
When checked:
Let say my iLvl is X. Then the addon should color the item levels as:
- Items with level >= x-5 - Orange (or other epic color) - represents items most likely to be relevant for me
- Items with level [x-10 ,x-4] - Blue - represents items that have some chance to be relevance to me
- Items with level < x-10 - White - Very little chance to use such item (I still may want to keep rings, neck and trinkets for offspec in this range).
Alternatives is instead of using player iLvl:
- To compare the item with the item level of the currently equipped in the corresponding slot
- To compare the item with the max item level of the items that I have for the equipment slot
Of course, I would love to be able to configure the thresholds and colors that I mentioned above. Or even to have option to use gradient color that depend on the item level. But I don't think the development investment for the fancy options is worth while there are other more important features.
Any alternatives you can think of?
Other alternative - far more simple - is to just add an edit box option for threshold what is considered 'low item level' and color the item level text of such items in grey.
Anything else?
No response
"Simple Item Levels" doesn't add anything more than what Baganator already have - the ability to make the color of the item level text match the color of the items' rarity.
About Pawn. Please note that this feature request is about indicating items that are close in level to mine but not necessarily an upgrade in all situations. I may be looking for different stat distribution as healer in m+ vs raid, and different yet when I am considering dps gear.
Pawn can technically display the information that I am looking at, albeit with a lot of play with its configuration... I will need to configure several different scales that favor different stats.
So, why not Pawn:
- It will be extremely ugly - that will put far green arrow on all suitable armor pieces - i.e. pieces that I may want to keep. While my main goal with this feature request is to identify pieces that are too low level to be potentially useful.
- I will not be able to use Pawn for its main purpose - to indicate upgrades.
Do I "need" this feature? No, of course not - I can look at the item levels myself. But bag addons are about convenience a beautiful representation of the items. Several years back I had a bag addon that was coloring the item levels in a fashion similar to what I described and I remember that I loved it, so I decided to ask for the same.
