BeanArena

BeanArena started as a simple arena point calculator and grew into the all-in-one PvP companion I wanted but couldn't find for TBC Anniversary. If you're grinding toward Merciless Gladiator gear and constantly alt-tabbing to check AP formulas, gear costs, or CC rules mid-session, this addon is built for that exact frustration.

What It Does

BeanArena runs as two coordinated windows: a compact calculator that hooks into your PvP panel (opens automatically when you press H), and a separate reference window that slides in beside it on demand.

Arena Point Calculator

Live 2v2 / 3v3 / 5v5 ratings pulled directly from the game API
Games-played tracker with a visual 10-game minimum indicator
Weekly reward projection, highlighting your best eligible bracket
Manual "what-if" calculator: enter any rating to simulate AP
Rating Target tool: enter an AP goal and see the exact rating needed per bracket
Banked AP shown inline so you always know your running total

Honor & Battleground Tracking

Current honor with a cap bar, milestone markers, and a near-cap warning
Countdown to the Tuesday weekly reset
AV / WSG / AB / EotS mark counts scanned from your bags
Weekly pacing estimate: how many AV or WSG wins to reach cap

Reference Window: five sections, one place

Arena Gear - S1 and S2 armor icon grids per class, with full item tooltips, AP cost and personal rating requirements per slot. Season and class switcher built in.
Weapons - every S1 and S2 PvP weapon, off-hand, and relic with item icons, AP cost, and rating gate
Honor Gear - S1 and S2 Veteran's / General's off-pieces (Neck, Ring, Bracers, Belt, Boots), auto-detected for your class, with mark requirements
CC/DR Table - quick reference and full per-class breakdown of every CC spell, DR category, and duration for all nine TBC classes
Help - formula reference, bracket multipliers, slash command list

Character Viewer

Tracks arena points, honor, and ratings for every character you log into with BeanArena installed
Viewable from the main window dropdown, no need to log out to check your alts
