HandMeDowns

HandMeDown helps WoW Classic Era players find tradable gear upgrades for alts. It saves each character’s gear, shows matching alts on item tooltips, filters by gear/profile/level, tracks bags and bank, and skips items that cannot be mailed.

Description

HandMeDown helps WoW Classic Era players manage gear across multiple alts by showing useful hand-me-down upgrades directly on item tooltips.

What HandMeDown Can Do

  • Save each character’s currently equipped gear after you log in.
  • Compare hovered items against your saved alts.
  • Show which alts may benefit from an item.
  • Show what each alt currently has equipped in that slot.
  • Mark items as an upgrade, sidegrade, future upgrade, or not better.
  • Track whether an alt already owns the item in bags or bank.
  • Ignore items that cannot be handed down, including soulbound, bind-on-pickup, quest, and conjured items.
  • Filter comparisons by armor type, equipment slot, off-hand type, ranged weapon, relic, and role profile.
  • Set how many levels above an alt an item can be before it stops showing.
  • Customize role profiles by renaming them and choosing which stats matter.
  • Pin item tooltips for easier comparison.
  • Hover equipped item links inside pinned tooltips to inspect saved alt gear.
  • Open a scrollable item summary window for the last hovered item.
  • Use the Status tab to see setup issues, old scans, and why an alt is or is not appearing.
  • Toggle the minimap button on or off.
  • Scan bags and banks so saved ownership data is more accurate.

HandMeDown is designed to reduce guesswork when deciding whether gear should be mailed, banked, equipped later, or safely sold.
