Simple Item Levels
Show item levels on:
- The character panel
- The inspect panel
- Loot windows
- The equipment-picker flyout
- Weapons, armor, and artifact relics in bags (built in, bagnon, baggins, inventorian)
- Tooltips (in classic)
I'm open to adding them in more places.
Also shows:
- An upgrade arrow on items in your bags which you can use whose item level is higher than whatever you currently have equipped.
- A soulbound indicator, so you can see whether something is soulbound, bind-on-equip, or warbound-until-equipped
- Missing enchants and gems
Simple configuration
For a summary of settings:
/simpleilvl
To toggle a place to display item levels:
/simpleilvl [type]
…where type is bags, character, or inspect.
To disable the upgrade arrow:
/simpleilvl upgrades
To change whether the text is colored by item quality or just left white:
/simpleilvl color

Posted Sep 15, 2025In Mists of Pandaria Classic, my chat log is getting spammed with "fell back to itemid 1048590" every 0.5 to 1 sec when the trinket fly-out menu is open.

There are no LUA errors when this event occurs.

Posted Sep 15, 2025In reply to kriminy: Thanks! It's a leftover debug print that I forgot about, and apparently the equipment flyout in Classic is sufficiently uncommonly used that you're the first person to mention it despite that version having been out for a month. New version is going up right now that'll stop it.

That seems to be about an addon called ItemInfoOverlay, not this one.

Posted Aug 21, 2025This addon, in its MoP Classic version, keeps crashing my game. I've carefully tested it by enabling and disabling the other addons until I've isolated the problem. So I'm permanently disabling it. Sorry.

Posted Aug 13, 2025Hi, I don't know if this feature is already here, but is it possible to see each group member's item level in one place? Like a hover-over minimap button? For a raid group would be hectic, but for an m+ group would be great

Posted Aug 2, 2025Yo, not a big deal really, but thought it would be good to know, You can't see other players item level when inspecting, it goes under the weapon slots instead of going above it as it does when inspecting yourself :) https://imgur.com/a/0mpU2GD

Posted Jul 28, 2025Hi! I’m trying to use a custom upgrade icon in SimpleItemLevel. In addon.lua I changed
button.simpleilvlup:SetAtlas("poi-door-arrow-up")toif button.simpleilvlup then button.simpleilvlup:SetTexture("Interface\\Icons\\UP.tga") button.simpleilvlup:SetTexCoord(0, 1, 0, 1) end. This works perfectly in the character paper doll and in the equipment slot pop-up — my new icon shows up fine there. However, when using the Baganator bag addon, the upgrade arrow in the bag still shows the original icon from SimpleItemLevel. Is there any way to also change the icon for the bag display? Or maybe a simpler method, like overriding a single Icons/UP.tga file that would work everywhere? Thanks!-

Posted Aug 9, 2025In reply to runningcatstone: At the top of the addon.lua file there's a line `ns.upgradeAtlas = "..."` which you'd need to change. The place you did change it is somewhere that I forgot to update to using that instead, so I've just put up an alpha doing that.

Posted Aug 9, 2025In reply to Amberian: Amusingly, this is a case where it used to work but Blizzard did something helpful that I didn't notice and so now it doesn't. They added a thing that actually flags the type of line in tooltips that contains the item level, and that made my scanning for it fail to actually detect it. I'll get a fix up now.
