💬 Author Note

This addon was created out of a simple personal need, since I couldn’t find anything that clearly showed when an item could be upgraded for free or had some kind of crest discount.

It’s quite simple, and it was made with the help of AI. I’m sharing it in case someone else finds it useful, but it only serves that specific purpose.

That said, I’m not an expert developer or anything like that, just a regular person who had some free time and decided to build this with a lot of help :).
