Description
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
