Gear Compare

First release.

Hover any armour, tool or weapon and the tooltip tells you how it compares to the one you are already using, as a plain difference. No configuration, nothing on the server.

• Armour, tools, weapons and shields, with every attribute that changes and both values beside the difference.
• Enchantments gained, lost, or moved to a different level - named, never folded into an invented damage number.
• Durability left, but only when both items actually wear out.
• A shield is compared against your off hand when that hand is busy, because that is the item it would replace.
• No comparison at all when the item is already equipped, or when it is not equipment.

Accuracy is tested rather than assumed: 4,252 item pairs are compared against an oracle read from the game's own code, on every supported version, in a world made on that version. The same test is run with the tooltip hook switched off, where it has to fail - otherwise a passing run would prove the arithmetic and nothing about whether anything reaches your screen.

Client-side only. Works on any server.
