Description
XIVEquip – "Equip Recommended Gear" for WoW Forever
This is a fork of XIVEquip, updated and adapted for World of Warcraft: Forever . It is no longer a straight port.
The original addon targeted modern Retail; Forever runs on a modern 12.0-era engine but keeps the vanilla class model, so a lot had to change. Unused retail scales have been stripped, the settings window and scales now reflect what Forever actually offers, and the default scales for every build have been rebuilt around Forever's stat system.
What's new?
Builds & talent trees
- Replaced retail specializations with Forever's 9 classes × 3 talent trees (27 trees).
- New Builds system: create and name builds per class, each tying together a Talent Tree, a Scale, and Weapon preferences. The active build is stored per character.
Stats & default scales
- Rebuilt default scales around Forever's stats: Strength, Agility, Intellect, Stamina, Spirit, Armor, Attack Power, Ranged Attack Power, Spell Power, Bonus Healing, Hit (unified), Crit (unified), Expertise, Weapon Skill, and weapon DPS.
- Removed Mastery and Versatility, which do not exist in Forever.
Weapons
- New Weapon Preference / Weapon Type / Ranged dropdowns per build:
- Loadout style: Auto, Two-Hander, Dual Wield, One-Hander + Shield, One-Hander + Off-hand.
- Weapon-type priority (Sword/Axe/Mace/Dagger/Staff/Polearm/Fist).
- Ranged preference (Bow/Gun/Crossbow/Wand/None).
- Dual Wield requires the character actually having trained it, and all weapon/armor choices respect the character's trained proficiencies.
Settings UI
- Renamed the "Scales" tab to "Builds"; the specialisations selector is now "Talent Tree".
- Removed the unsupported Addon Integrations / provider selector (Pawn) for now.
I'll probably bring this back once I look into this more
Import / export
- Scale export/import is now a Forever-specific format (v2) carrying the build ID and weapon preferences.
These are not compatible with the original XIVEquip builds
Persistence
- Added a self-contained SavedVariables fallback (a CVar mirror) to work around the Forever beta bug where addon settings are written but not reloaded.
A huge thank you to the Brave Newbies guild members for their continued testing and feedback for fine tuning
