MissingEnchants

Step into a dungeon, raid, or M+. Get a heads-up if anything is missing an enchant or a gem.

A lightweight addon for World of Warcraft Retail (Midnight) that scans your equipped gear when you enter an instance and tells you, in chat and in a popup, every enchantable slot without an enchant and every empty gem socket. No more pulling the boss and realizing your bracers were bare.

Features

Automatic scan on instance entry — triggered by PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD + IsInInstance, configurable to also run in the open world
Enchant check — covers Chest, Wrist, Legs, Feet, Hands, both Rings, Cloak, Main Hand, and Off Hand
Gem socket check — flags items with empty sockets across every equippable slot
Locale-independent detection — reads enchantID and gem positions directly from the item link, so it works on every client language
Chat + popup — both on by default and independently toggleable
Manual slash command — /missingench (alias /menc) runs the scan anywhere, anytime
Settings panel — toggle each check, switch off the popup, change the scan delay, all from Interface options

Slash commands

/missingench         Run a manual scan
/menc                Same (short alias)
/menc config         Open the settings panel

How it works

Enchants — the addon parses your item link and reads the encoded enchantID. A value of 0 means the slot is unenchanted.
Gems — it counts total sockets via C_Item.GetItemStats (the EMPTY_SOCKET_* keys) and compares against the gems present in the item link.

Both methods are deterministic and don't depend on tooltip text, so they work in every locale.
