GearAlert

GearAlert watches every item you loot and instantly alerts you when something worth paying attention to drops — green, blue, or purple gear, with a bold popup, a distinct sound, and everything you need to make a decision without opening your bags.

GearAlert watches every item you loot and instantly alerts you when something worth paying attention to drops — green, blue, or purple gear, with a bold popup, a distinct sound, and everything you need to make a decision without opening your bags.

What makes GearAlert different from other loot addons is spec awareness. It knows what stats matter for your class and spec. Playing Discipline Priest? It won't flag an Agility leather piece as an upgrade. Playing Feral Druid? It ignores Intellect plate. It reads your talent tree automatically to detect your spec — no setup required.

Features:

  • Popup alert for green, blue, and purple gear and weapons — your loot only, never other players
  • Spec-aware upgrade detection across all 9 classes and all specs — only flags items with stats relevant to your current specialisation
  • Upgrade badge showing exact item level difference (e.g. Upgrade: +14 ilvl) or "New slot!" for empty slots
  • "Not your spec" label when an item has no relevant stats, so you know exactly why it wasn't flagged
  • Vendor sell price displayed on every popup so you can decide instantly whether to keep or vendor
  • One-click Equip button shown only on genuine upgrades — equips the item directly from the popup
  • Tooltip enhancement — hover any item link anywhere in the game and see the upgrade status inline
  • Distinct sounds per quality — green, blue, and purple each play a different sound
  • Auto-dismiss timer with a countdown so the popup never gets in your way
  • Minimap button — left-click for settings, right-click for loot history
  • Loot history window showing everything you've looted this session with timestamps, item level, and upgrade status
  • Settings window with quality toggles, minimum item level filter, upgrades-only mode, sound toggle, and auto-dismiss toggle
  • /gearalert to open settings — /gearalert help for all commands
