Retail WoW Addon that efficiently displays players average item levels and specilization in tooltips

Quick Item Level

Quick Item Level is a lightweight and efficient World of Warcraft addon that enhances your gameplay experience by providing quick and easy access to item level and class spec information in tooltips. With Quick Item Level, you can instantly view the average item level and specialization of other players by simply hovering over them and viewing the "Quick Item Level" area in the tooltip after the data is fetched by the game.

Features

• Instant Item Level Display: When you mouseover a player, their item level will be immediately displayed in the tooltip, allowing you to quickly assess their gear quality.

• Specialization Information: In addition to the item level, Quick Item Level also shows the player's current specialization, giving you a better understanding of their role and playstyle.

• Efficient Caching: The addon utilizes an intelligent caching system to store and manage player data efficiently. This ensures that information is readily available and minimizes unnecessary API calls, resulting in improved performance.

• Automatic Updating: Quick Item Level automatically updates the item level and specialization information whenever you mouseover a player, ensuring that you always have the most up-to-date data.

• Lightweight and Non-Intrusive: Quick Item Level is designed to be lightweight and non-intrusive, seamlessly integrating with the default World of Warcraft UI. It does not clutter your screen with unnecessary information or require complex configuration.

1. Download the latest version of Quick Item Level from CurseForge or Github. If using CurseForge, no further action is required as the addon will be automatically installed using the CurseForge app.

2. Extract the downloaded ZIP file and place the "QuickItemLevel" folder into your World of Warcraft addons directory (located at World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns).

3. Launch World of Warcraft and mouse over players to see their chosen specialization and average item level.
