Bug Fixes

Track Detection

  • Fixed a false-positive where items with "Mythic" in their quality description (e.g. Mythic trinkets on a Veteran track) were being incorrectly assigned to the Myth upgrade track. Track name is now only read from the Upgrade Level: tooltip line, which is authoritative.

Crafted Item Detection

  • Crafted gear (Radiance Crafted, Concentration Crafted, etc.) is now correctly identified and marked as "Crafted item" instead of being assigned a crest upgrade track. Detection is resilient to WoW's color escape codes in tooltip text.

Button Hit Region

  • Legend and Refresh buttons were only clickable at the very top edge. Fixed by parenting them to the title bar frame so they correctly receive mouse events above the drag region.

New Features

Bag Scanning

  • The addon now scans all player bags for upgradeable gear and displays it in a dedicated "In Bags" section below the equipped rows, separated by a divider.
  • Bag items are grouped by slot type and sorted by item level descending.
  • The WM column repurposes for bag rows to show the currently equipped item level in that slot, color coded green (bag item is better), red (worse), or white (same ilvl).
  • Status column prepends ↑ when the bag item is an upgrade over what's equipped.
  • Bag section auto-refreshes on BAG_UPDATE_DELAYED events (looting, banking, trading).

Improvements

Crest Footer — Live Cap

  • The footer no longer hardcodes / 100. The cap is now read live from C_CurrencyInfo and reflects whatever Blizzard sets it to, including catch-up weeks and mid-season adjustments (e.g. the Season 1 launch week 500 cap).

Crest Footer — Max Indicator

  • Footer labels now change color to indicate progress toward the season cap:
    • Gold + (MAX) — Season cap reached, no more crests earnable
    • Green — Within 20 crests of the cap
    • White — Normal
  • Cap detection uses totalEarned (cumulative season total) rather than current held quantity, so the indicator correctly fires even if you've spent crests after hitting the cap.

Minimap Button

  • Icon now uses the live Champion Dawncrest icon pulled from C_CurrencyInfo at runtime, eliminating the broken placeholder texture from previous builds.
  • Replaced the oversized MiniMap-TrackingBorder (56×56) with UI-Minimap-ZoomButton-Background (32×32), fixing the misaligned ring artwork.

Rendering

  • Replaced Unicode characters (, ) that rendered as blank boxes in WoW's font with plain ASCII equivalents (---, (MAX)).
