Description
Sharpie's Gear Judge - XP Bar
Version 1.1.5 | Requires Sharpie's Gear Judge | Works on WoW Forever, Classic Era and TBC Anniversary
A lightweight, gear-aware experience bar plugin built for Sharpie's Gear Judge (SGJ).
Available in: English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Korean and Chinese.
🔥 New in 1.1.5
- Small upgrades now count as upgrades, the same as on Gear Judge's tooltip.
🌟 Features
- Dynamic Tracking: Tracks your current experience, with optional milestone ticks or classic 20-segment brackets.
- Classic Rested Tail: A translucent blue "tail" beyond your current XP shows exactly where your Rested XP ends.
- Precision Tooltips: Hover the bar for current XP, XP remaining, Rested XP (how much of the level it covers and roughly how many kills it lasts), and session stats: session time, XP per hour, estimated time to level, and kill and quest XP.
- Standalone Stats Box: Optionally show everything from the tooltip in a box of its own. Shift-click it to reset the session.
- Native Integration: Ties into the core SharpiesGearJudge addon for a cohesive HUD experience.
⚔️ Gear-Aware Leveling
- Upgrades Waiting in Your Bags: See which bag items SGJ rates as upgrades once you reach their level, looking up to 5 levels ahead. The next one shows as an icon at the end of the bar.
- Mail/Plate Look-Ahead: Before 40, Warriors and Paladins see Plate (and Hunters and Shamans see Mail) under Upgrades Waiting, with a reminder to visit your trainer at 40.
- Level-Up Gear Alert: A "Ding!" alert lists the upgrades you can equip now (also in chat as clickable links) and any unspent talent points. Left-click opens your bags; right-click dismisses it.
- Stat Weight Change Warning: A heads-up before your leveling weights change, with the stats that shift the most, so you know which items may re-rank.
- Quest Turn-In Projection: A gold section on the bar shows where your completed quests will take you, and the tooltip says which of them reward an upgrade and whether turning them in will level you. Works on WoW Forever too.
- Gear Score Tracking: Your SGJ character score and how much it has grown this level, logged per level for each character.
🎛️ Options
