  • About Athene's Gear Check
  •  

This addon will quickly and easily give you information about the gear of the target player or yourself. Also tells you the item level of items.

The information on the gear is given as the average item level of the equipment, colored in a fitting color (red for bad gear, green for good gear).
If the avg ilvl doesn't mean anything to you, look at the color.
If the color isn't accurate enough for you, look at the avg ilvl:)
However, remember that the avg ilvl doesn't tell you that the player is properly geared. For all you know it might be a resto druid in epic feral gear;)

The coloring of the quality is scaled to the level of the player, so the addon is just as accurate for twinks and levelers as for lvl80's.
To make the quality of BoA items accurate, they will count as a green\blue of the same level as the player.

For those extra curious, the addon will also count and list how many items the player has of each rarity(green\blue\epic etc). Just remember, an epic item isn't always very good, it could be a lvl80 still wearing lvl 70 pvp epics. So don't use the item rarities to figure the gear quality of the player.
IMO this information is most useful for quickly figuring the reason of the avg ilvl, or checking if the player is geared with BoA.

The targeted player must be in range to be inspected. Once the gear information is aquired, the addon saves the information for later when the target is out of range.
You can also check the gear of players of the other faction, but only if you are allowed to inspect them (sanctuaries).

IMO the information given by the addon is most useful when you want to know if anyone in your party or raid has crap gear. It will be very, very easy to make sure noone in the raid is geared in lots of greens.
It could also be a way to see if your twink or low lvl char needs upgrades.

Commands:
- /agc : gives you a list of possible commands.
- /agc lookup (playername) : gives you the saved info on that player.
- /agc report (playername) : reports your saved info on the player to raid/party.
- /agc report bad : reports to raid/party all players in raid/party that have an avg ilvl lower than blues (that means lower than 200 on lvl 80).

Additional features with Recount installed:
- List of the avg ilvl of everyone in the party/raid.
- Print the list of party/raid ilvls to whereever you want.
- Mouseover a player in Recount to see exactly what gear the player is wearing.

    I just tested the 1.73 patch and it does fix the lvl-1 issue. Thats great, no more having to pull my Argent Dawn Commission to get an accurate iLevel computation.

    My other issue of no iLevel report on myself until I pulled and re-equipped an item is also fixed. Thank You for both fixes.

    What I am wondering about is the change of text color for the report. My lvl 63 pally has a iLvl of 70 and all the text is red. Is this the default text color? My reaction was this might have been intended as a gear lvl warning.

    This addon has been a great tool when starting new toons. I can easily see how many no stat items are equipped and plan there replacement.

    About your paladin: The text is red because your gear needs to be upgraded.
    When you ding 58 the addon will start to calculate with TBC gear, which has higher ilvl than vanilla gear.
    This means that if a char is lvl 57 with avg ilvl 62, then that will be decent. However when the char dings 58, then the text will become red, because 'decent' now means avg ilvl 87.
    The same thing will happen when you ding 68, the addon will then start calculating with WotLK gear quality and your TBC gear is not so decent anymore.
    Hope that clears things up.

    Cool! So my guess was sort of correct. I can proceed now knowing I am chasing a shifting definition of what's average.

    Sorry for the slow updates, I've been rather busy with studies.
    I'll probably make the data sharing an option, being off by default. That way, if you get disced the setting won't be saved, and the option will be turned off by next time you log on.
    Figuring the cause of the problems takes more time.

  • I am also having the same problem. It does not show up when not in a crowded area, or when in an Instance. Only while in a rather crowded venue such as any major city. I have tried renaming the selected folder to no avail. As soon as the addon received a large enough database it would start all over. The time frame for a DC is anywhere from a few mins to an hour or so. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Love the addon and is great in helping when trying to fill in raid slots. Thanks in advance FG34

    I've been trying to use this addon on a number of toons and I've found that if I have a ton of friends I get disconnected very quickly. If I disable the addon or login with a toon with no or very few friends it works fine. The memory usage is a bit high as well, but I really like the functionality and would love a way to get this to work this again on my main(with all my friends). I was thinking about downloading a previous version, because it seemed to work fine previously. Anyone have any luck with a previous version?

    Great tool! Any chance to make the bad report adjustable? You would be able to set it from 200 to 213 / 219 / 225? I could use this tool when running TOC 25 man and get rid of peeps with bad gear.

    I am having disconnect issues in cities due to my mouse wandering over many people. Could you add a Cool down timer so it doesn't spam the server with requests.

    I still haven't found the cause of the problem, but it seems the problem is located in the savefile for the addon.
    World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\(account name)\SavedVariables\AthenesGearCheck.lua <- try renaming this file and see if it helps.

    I'm aware of the problem.
    The problem is not how many people you mouseover, there is already a CD on the info sharing.
    I haven't yet found the cause tho, still working on it.

    The "Not in a Guild" error is back. I have a toon that started showing this after I resigned from a guild this week.

    One oddity that results in miscalculation of Ilvl is equipping on Argent Dawn Commission badge. Blizzard made it a White lvl 1, thus it screws up AGC reporting. Can You programmaticaly exclude such badges from the calculations?

    This add-on is very useful to me while gearing my first 'Clothie'. What I notice is there is no AGC info displayed in the Character panel until I remove and re-equip an item.

    Are you sure that AGC is causing the "not in a guild" error? Are you sure you are using the latest version?
    Because I don't get any such messages while playing outside any guild.

    I'll have a look at the other things

    I tracked down the cause. I use the Curse Client and in the add-on list pane it said I had 1.7.2 installed. However down below with the description of AGC version 1.7.1 was reported. I then did a reinstall of 1.7.2 and the error cleared up.

    please consider removing or at least put option for turning off that new synchronization feature, its not good - pretty annoying messages, pretty heavy memory usage

    without this is great and handy addon :)

    AGC generates an error message every...."


    Now it generates a message: "You aren't in a guild" 10-20 times every second after I mouseover someone or check his/her gear. (I'm not in a guild ofcourse:) )

    Looks like the recount module has been removed. Last release I see it in is 1.61

  • AGC generates an error message every time you open the character window. The message is saying "You aren't in a party" even when you are in a party or raid. This message also appears when only this addon is enabled.
