Pawn
Last Updated: Feb 3, 2018 Game Version: 7.3.5
Pawn helps you find upgrades for your gear and tell which of two items is better for your spec. Start with built-in advice from Ask Mr. Robot, or customize Pawn's stat weights to have it suggest items based on your favorite class guide or simulator. Pawn can help you decide whether it's better to use the cloak with 500 mastery or the one with 450 crit—whether you're just starting out, or you're an advanced player who plans out gear upgrades and regularly simulates and evaluates performance.
Language support
Pawn works with English, French, German, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish (European and Latin American), Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Unlike most addons, Pawn's language has to match the language you play WoW in.
Staying in touch
Become a fan of Vger on Facebook and get updates of new versions and stuff like that. You can also leave questions or comments there if you don't have an account on this site.
Prerelease alpha versions of Pawn are occasionally available on CurseForge.
Getting started
If you're new to Pawn, don't worry—Pawn will automatically set itself up to give you advice based on math done by the experts at Ask Mr. Robot. Just watch for Pawn's green arrows. If you decide you want to go further, there are a lot of ways that you can customize Pawn, by tracking multiple specs at once, importing custom stat weights, and more.
Found a bug?
If you think you might have found a bug, just leave a comment here. In addition to a description of the problem, please make sure to include: (1) the language that you use Pawn and WoW in, (2) the specific items that don't work as expected, and (3) your class and spec if you're using the built-in (not custom) stat weights. Screenshots are usually very helpful as well.
Incompatible with...
Pawn will not work with Titan Panel Artifact Power or Combat Numbers Separator. Those addons change item tooltips and will cause Pawn to give bad advice.
Until level 87 Pawn showed me the coin symbol only on quest rewards on the cheaper item instead on the more expensive one. Since then, sometimes Pawn shows me the coin on the cheaper and sometimes on the more expensive Item.

Is it possible the Pawn addon is not taking into account non-upgraded Heirlooms?
for example i have a bloodied aranite reaper and on my lvl 80 it says it has 33 crit, which it would if i wasn't cheap and not wanted to upgrade an alt's heirloom, so instead of showing the +20 crit it actually has, Pawn is weighting it at its 80 equiv of 33

I there! I love pawn (ha!) but recently after coming back i'm having huge problems just having it work.
I've installed it, reinstalled it, completely wiped all knowledge of it and re-reinstalled it and it neither shows up in the addons list nor anywhere in game. Do you have any idea why this might be?
I must say its not the only addon acting this way - world quest tracker is as well so may not be isolated to Pawn but having installed all other addons through the twitch app am at a loss as to why its not showing full stop.
Any help would be appreciated!

In reply to Saroana:
Seems to be a bug when opening bags after latest update. Using ELVUI and when opening the bags it causes a small jump in the game. This does not happen when pawn is disabled so it looks as though its related to the upgrade info it gives you in bags.

Hi! First of all, thank you so much for your hard work, your addon is a must have for me :)
May I ask for a compatibility request? I'm using another addon named Immersion (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/immersion) that replaces the quest frames by its own. Obviously, the nice green arrows from your mod don't appear on these custom frames. I asked the author of Immersion, and they gave me some references that could be useful to you if you consider my request:
Of course, you don't have to do anything if you don't want! I'm just asking if it would be possible. Thank you for considering my request, and I hope I've been clear enough with it -sorry, English is not my native language :)
Thank you again for sharing your addon with us, and have a nice day!
