Upgrade Inspector
Instantly find your weakest gear and track your crests!
Tired of hovering over every single piece of gear to figure out what you need to upgrade next?
Upgrade Inspector is a lightweight, 1-click quality-of-life addon designed to take the guesswork out of your weekly gear progression. It adds a sleek, unobtrusive button to your Character Sheet that instantly scans your equipped gear, sorts it by the lowest item level, and compares it against your personal upgrade goals.
✨ Features
- Smart Sorting: Instantly see your lowest item level gear at the very top of the list.
- Per-Character Goals: Set a specific upgrade goal for each character (e.g., your Main is pushing for Myth 2/6, while your Alt is aiming for Champion 4/6). The addon remembers your settings for each character!
- Color-Coded Action List: Gear is color-coded based on its Upgrade Potential so you know exactly what to do at a glance:
- Red: Right track, but below your goal. (Action: Go spend crests to upgrade this!)
- Green: Goal met!
- Purple: Exceeds your goal! (This item is on a higher track than your goal. Lucky drop!)
- Gray: Lesser track or no track. (Action: Dead end. You must run a dungeon/raid to replace this).
- Crafted Gear Support: Crafted gear is automatically assigned a "Ghost Track" based on its item level (e.g., eq. to Myth 5/6) so it sorts and color-codes perfectly alongside your dropped gear.
- Built-in Crest Tracker: A clean, minimal display at the bottom of the window shows your current Dawncrests. Hover over the icons for official Blizzard tooltips. No more opening your currency tab to see if you can afford an upgrade!
⚙️ How to Use
- Open your Character Sheet (Press C).
- Click the small "UI" button in the bottom left corner to open the Inspector.
- Use the < and > arrows at the top of the window to set your current upgrade goal.
💬 Feedback & Future Updates
This is my very first WoW addon! I built it to solve a tedious chore in my own daily routine, and I am actively working on adding new features and quality-of-life improvements.
If you enjoy using it, or if you have an idea for a feature that would make it even better, please leave a comment below! I am highly responsive and would love to hear how I can improve the addon for the community.
Fully updated and optimized for World of Warcraft: Midnight.
