This addon is a community-maintained fork of GearScoreClassic, originally created by gk646 and released under the MIT License.

🔗 Original addon:

The original project is no longer actively maintained.
This fork continues its development independently to ensure compatibility with newer Classic versions.

How This Fork Differs from the Original

GearScoreTBCClassic focuses on:

Compatibility with The Burning Crusade Classic
Ongoing maintenance and bug fixes
Preserving the original GearScore calculation logic and user experience

No functionality has been removed from the original addon.

GearScoreTBCClassic

GearScoreTBCClassic is a lightweight addon for World of Warcraft Classic (TBC / Season of Discovery) that calculates and displays a Gear Score (GS) and Average Item Level (iLvl) for your character and for inspected characters.

It is designed as a quick comparative metric to estimate overall gear quality while preserving the original behavior and philosophy of classic GearScore addons.

Features

Gear Score (GS) calculation for your character and inspected players
Average Item Level (iLvl) display
Character Frame & Inspect Frame integration
Colored Gear Score, based on percentile relative to the current phase (similar to Warcraft Logs)
Automatic and lightweight — no configuration required

How It Works

The Gear Score is calculated based on:

Item Level, adjusted by slot-based modifiers
Enchantments, which add value to enchantable items
Slot weighting to reflect the importance of different equipment pieces

This provides a fast, consistent metric for gear comparison.

Usage

Simply install the addon and log into the game.

Gear Score and average item level will automatically appear in:

The character frame
The inspect frame

No slash commands or configuration options are currently required.
