PortGear automatically swaps any gear with a teleport effect back to what you originally had equipped, such as the three guild Orgrimmar/Stormwind cloaks, the Kirin Tor rings, the Brawl rings, and so on.
The following will result in port gear being swapped to the previous item (if there was a previous item):
- item is not in the currently equipped set (if there are saved sets)
AND
- item was not worn at login/reload or /portgear wasn't used since it was equipped
AND
- player successfully uses the port gear
Use the slash command /portgear (or /pg for short) to "save" all changed non-set port gear after login/reload so they won't get swapped. The gear you are wearing will be remembered at login/reload, so /portgear is to save you from doing a /reload. If you use the Equipment Manager for all gear or don't normally wear port gear, you do not need to worry about /portgear. For example, if you don't save your tabards in sets and equip a port tabard, use /portgear to keep the tabard on if you use it.
If, for some reason, I have not updated this addon in a timely manner for new items, simply open gearlist.lua and add them at the bottom using the itemID.
As a sort of nod, this addon was born from using TeleportCloak. That addon has been great to me for almost two years, but some minor issues encouraged me to try my own.
PortGear is only hosted on Curse and WoWInterface.
It would also be nice if this addon could restore a gear set (configurable) rather than restoring it's own custom list of gear. As it stands I'm now maintaining both my normal gear sets, and what PortGear thinks my gear should be.
Any chance you could add https://www.wowhead.com/item=138201/fathom-dweller#comments:id=3240014 ?
Are we allowed to ask for an update now that its a new expansion?
Thank you btw :)
Please add the Daz alar port ring to the list it currently is not reequipping my previous item
This addon seems to have suffered the same abandoned fate as TeleportCloak ( https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/teleportcloak ) even though this addon's author was one of the last commenters advertising this addon for a replacement to TeleportCloak after it was abandoned.
In reply to bradwr:
Not abandoned. It still works, I use my stormwind cloak all the time. However, I am lazy with toc updates. Next time you want to call out an addon as abandoned, don't do it within the same expansion.
needs to be updated.
This doesn't actually do anything or maybe I'm just confused on how it's supposed to work... I use my cloak to port to Orgrimmar and it doesn't switch back to the cloak I was using. Isn't it supposed to reequip what I had on?
Did you have the guild cloak on when you logged in? Do you have it saved in a set that shares all the other gear you have on with the other cloak?
No, I didn't have the guild cloak equipped on login nor do I have it saved as part of an equipment set.
I am Alliance and at least one of my cloaks works (I either did not test the other two or don't reliably remember if I did) along with the new Dalaran ring and the Brawl ring. I'll have to find a way to test Horde cloaks and see if it's a specific issue. I verified the item IDs in the item list, so that shouldn't be it. Try and use other port items to see if it's cloak-specific.
I just tested the Karazhan ring and it reequipped my ring and then I tried the guild cloak again and it worked too. When I made that comment I ported to Orgrimmar and flew all the way into the Brawlers guild it didn't reequip my previous cloak. So I'm pretty sure that I equipped the cloak to port to Orgrimmar and then realized I didn't have the addon turned on. Then I turned it on and reloaded my ui so the addon didn't know to equip another cloak. Sorry!
Lol, that's okay. The addon records what it sees at login or after using /portgear, so when you reloaded (which is the same as login since all addons load fresh), it wasn't aware of the other cloak since you had the port cloak on during the load. I'm glad it works though, enjoy!
It's a shame teleportcloak stopped being updated, thank you for continuing it (especially as I have more then once entered brawls without realizing I was wearing the port ring).
This addon doesn't do anything for me since 7.2
I can confirm. I haven't used a port item since 7.2 dropped, so I didn't notice. Sorry about that. I'll fix as soon as I can.
Any plans on updating this? I was going to post it in a "Lesser known addons you can't live without" thread on reddit but unfortunately it's still out of order.
Updated, sorry for the delay.
