YippYapp Helper

A gear upgrade advisor for World of Warcraft: Midnight Season 1. Helps you make smart decisions about spending crests by analyzing your equipped gear, tracking upgrade paths, and recommending where to invest your resources.

Features

Upgrade Advisor

• Scans all equipped gear and shows current upgrade track, rank, and item level
• Color-coded recommendations: Upgrade Now, Hold Crests, Upgrade Later, Bad Investment, and more
• Automatically opens when you visit the upgrade vendor, anchored to the upgrade window
• Click any slot to send it directly to the upgrade vendor

Smart Crest Recommendations

The addon evaluates each gear slot using a 10-rule engine that considers:

• Crest scarcity — distinguishes between free crests (spend freely) and precious crests (spend carefully) based on your player profile
• Slot priority — weapons and high-stat slots recommended first
• Replacement risk — warns against upgrading items you'll replace soon from M+ or raid drops
• Hero-to-Myth conversion — advises upgrading Hero items to 6/6 to convert Hero crests into free Myth ranks
• Achievement progress — prioritizes finishing a crest track to unlock the 50% alt discount

Player Profiles

Six profiles tailor recommendations to your playstyle:

• Casual — low M+, normal raid
• Heroic Raider — mid M+, heroic raid
• Mythic Raider — high M+, mythic raid
• M+ Mid / M+ High — dungeon-focused players
• Alt — holds precious crests until main unlocks discount achievements

How It Works

The addon reads your equipped gear via tooltip scanning to determine each item's upgrade track (Adventurer, Veteran, Champion, Hero, Myth) and current rank. It cross-references this with your player profile to classify each crest type as "free" (spend without worry) or "precious" (spend strategically), then runs through its recommendation rules to suggest the best use of your crests.

Trinket rankings are generated from SimulationCraft simulations at Myth 1/6 item level (272) using 5000 iterations per spec. Rankings are tiered as S (top 3), A (top 4-10), and B (top 11-20).
