Description
Gearguide
Know which gear to wear and what to roll on while you level. No spreadsheets, no alt-tabbing to Wowhead.
Normally in WoW Classic, leveling gear is a guessing game. Is this an upgrade? Which stats does my class even want? Should I roll Need or Greed? Which quest gives a good weapon at my level? Most people end up with five Wowhead tabs open, or just wear whatever drops.
Gearguide puts all of that inside the game. Pick a leveling build once, and it shows you the best quest rewards and dungeon drops for every slot at your level, tells you where to get them, and tells you what to roll on. It works for every class and both factions.
What you get
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Build | Your build, its stat priority, the talent to pick next, and your character with the gear you've pinned |
| Gear Book | The best quest and dungeon gear for every slot, ranked BEST, GREAT, GOOD and OK for your build |
| Dungeons | What to roll Need on in each dungeon, including the new WoW Forever dungeons |
| Item pages | Which quest or boss it comes from, the zone map with a pin, and a "Mark on map" button |
| Settings | Turn hints on or off, the boss icon, and fading the window while you walk |
How to use it
- Install it and log in.
- Type /gg or click the book button next to the minimap.
- Pick a build. The best one for leveling is marked. Done.
Your character
- Right-click any item to pin it. It shows up on your character, so you can see what's still missing.
- Click an empty slot to see the best gear for it.
- Scroll on your character to zoom, and pick a background you like.
- Made a mistake pinning? Ctrl+Z to undo, Ctrl+Y to redo.
Need or Greed help
- Hover any item and a "Gearguide:" line tells you NEED or GREED, and where it comes from.
- In a group, a hint shows up under the loot roll window.
- Want to see it before your first dungeon? Type /gg roll.
- Boss icon: a blue square over bosses that drop something you should Need (needs enemy nameplates, press V).
Good to know
- When you level up, your gear list updates by itself.
- Quests that are too high level for you are marked in red.
- Item info loads from the server the first time, so lists fill in over a few seconds.
- Not included yet: vendor items, crafted items and world drops.
- Builds come from Wowhead's Classic leveling guides. Dungeon loot from AtlasLootClassic and Wowhead, quest rewards from VMaNGOS.
- Small and light. It only keeps your own class and faction's data. No extra addons needed.
- Found a bug? Type /console scriptErrors 1, take a screenshot of the red error box and post it in the comments.
Made for WoW Forever and WoW Classic Era. Enjoy!
PS: I made this for my friends who just started playing and kept asking me "is this good?" about every green they looted. lol.
