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

I cannot persuade that error to happen. So I can try to stop it, but I will have no idea whether I have done so.

New version v63 going up now which I think will probably fix it for you. The key to reproducing the bug turned to be realizing that it could only possibly trigger when viewing your bank remotely, which was unfortunately not obviously the situation you were in from that stack trace.

Posted Jan 25, 2026In reply to vitalou_: New version is going up that should specifically fix the average when you've got some very specific items equipped. (Unfortunately the Reshii Wraps are one, and almost everyone is wearing it.)

Posted Jan 22, 2026For the character panel specifically, would it be possible to add the ability to shift all item levels and other indicators to the inside of the panel (in the area where the character avatar is)? Just to the left/right of the item icons. They would be much easier to read against the black background as opposed to on top of visually busy item icons.

Posted Jan 22, 2026In reply to Fibusx: That's a good idea. I'm putting up a new version now that will do that. You'll need to turn it on from the settings for now.

Posted Jan 21, 2026I am not sure if there will be embellishment on crafted gear next expansion, but would you be willing to add that as an option under "display" like Upgrade and Enchants?

Posted Jan 22, 2026In reply to Nickyjean01: Possibly. I would need to do a bit of looking into how you detect them, and also work out whether they'll be in midnight at all. I think they could be treated as sort of a special-case of enchantments, if nothing else, with a bit of logic to handle the "at most 2" thing.

Posted Sep 25, 2025I was able to fix this to not showing missing enchants for MoP helms and MoP characters that are not Enchanters. This required a simple version string check, and to simply check the characters professions.
I also fixed the player doll frame average item level display to include upgrades, but I cannot fix the inspect doll frame average item level. There is a bug with created item links where they don't include any upgrade info, and this is what is needed to manually parse upgrade levels. There is a player only "GetAverageItemLevel" API that I used to fix the character screen.
in addon.lua
add a new variable at the top, around line 5
> `local isMoP = WOW_PROJECT_ID == WOW_PROJECT_MISTS_CLASSIC`
then find this line lower in the file
> ` local enchantable = isClassic and {`
and just under it, change `INVTYPE_HEAD = true` to be `INVTYPE_HEAD = not isMoP`
