Pawn   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Pawn assesses the value of items for you to make it easy to decide which items are better than others. It's similar in purpose to mods such as Tank Points, but completely customizable, and applicable to any class and situation. You can use it to help create multiple gear sets, or decide whether to take that weapon with higher DPS or the one with more crit rating, or decide between a necklace with MP5 and one with bonus healing.

Pawn is a mod for hardcore World of Warcraft players—you may not like it if you're not the sort of person who agonizes over stats and itemization. You can use premade Pawn "scale tags" that other people make and post on forums to set up Pawn for your spec without any extra effort. And, if you're the kind of person who goes through Wowhead and Lootzor looking for exactly the items you want for your gear sets, builds Excel spreadsheets, installs TheoryCraft, reads Elitist Jerks... well, Pawn might just be right up your alley.

See the Pawn readme file included with the mod for more information on getting the most out of Pawn.

This version of Pawn is for English only. Community translations for other languages are available, but are not always up-to-date.

Pawn plugins for FuBar and Titan Panel are available on Curse.

  Change Log - Pawn
Version 1.2.5

* What used to be called the enchanted value of an item is now the current value, and what used to be called the unenchanted value is now the base value. The word "base" now also appears on tooltips. (No functionality has changed; this is just a terminology change.)
* Fixed the error that occurred when hovering over Brewfest steins.

Version 1.2.4

* Fixed an error that occurred when hovering over profession recipes.

Version 1.2.3

* You can now select what quality of gems to use for each of your scales on the Gems tab: uncommon, rare, or epic. Each scale can have a different quality level, so your main spec scale can use epic gems, and your offspec scale can use rare gems.
* By popular request, enchanted values of items now no longer include any points for sockets on the item, since the enchanted value is meant to reflect the current state of the item. This means that before you put gems in an item, the enchanted value of an item will be lower than the unenchanted value.
* Fixed a bug where occasionally items that weren't enchanted would show two equal values, such as "123.4 (123.4)". (This was only a display issue; the values were being calculated properly.)

Version 1.2.2

* Pawn will now calculate correct socket values if you have the "normalize values (like Wowhead)" option enabled.

Version 1.2.1

* Fixed the "attempt to perform arithmetic on field '?' (a nil value)" error that some users were experiencing in Pawn 1.2.

Version 1.2

* Note: Upon installation, this version of Pawn will automatically make adjustments to each of your scales' socket values. To avoid this, you can turn off the option for each scale to always correctly match gem colors.
* By default, Pawn will automatically choose the best rare-quality level 80 gem of each color and use the value of that gem when calculating item values. Most people will no longer ever need to manually set values for red, yellow, or blue sockets.
* There's now a new Gems tab in the Pawn UI. This tab shows you the best rare-quality level 80 gems that are available for any of your scales. Never again will you wonder which gems to have cut for that new boss drop.
o The Gems tab also displays suggested meta gems, but take these with a grain of salt; Pawn ignores the special effects on the gem.
o The Gems tab only considers rare-quality level 80 gems. I'll add support for epic gems very soon in an upcoming Pawn update.
* Pawn will now add a tooltip to the item socketing window displaying the suggested gems to use when socketing that item for each of your scales. In addition, the window now has a Pawn button that takes you directly to the Gems tab for more details.
* Meta sockets are now covered by two values instead of one: the old "Meta socket" value is now "Meta: stats" and covers the normal stat bonuses from meta gems. The new value is "Meta: effect" and covers the bonus effects from meta gems. Helms with an empty meta socket will get the values from both added to their totals. Helms with a filled meta socket will get the values of Meta: effect and the actual stats on the gem added to their totals. This reflects the fact that stat-for-stat, helms with meta sockets are clearly better than helms without them because of the added effects that meta gems bring.
* Adjusted the value of MP5 in the default scale to correspond with current itemization.
* Removed the Pawn feature to show item levels, as it is now built into the game.
* Fixed the "Could not parse the item link" error that appeared when clicking the links that items such as the Titanium Seal of Dalaran and Worn Troll Dice add to chat.
* Corrected the display of socket bonuses on weapons in the Compare tab.
* (English) Enchant Boots: Greater Vitality now works again.

Can you put it back into pawn please?

I hate the default display of item levels because:
1) it's white, very hard to pick out, unlike Pawn's was.

2) It's right in the middle, instead of at the bottom like pawn's was. Again, not as good visually.

-------

I specifically disabled the default item level showing option and went back to Pawn's before the patch, and it would be nice if this was still an option.

At the least, if you could have an option in Pawn to recolor the default display of item level and/or move it to the bottom of the tooltip, I'd LOVE that!

Pawn deeply dislikes the Green Brewfest Stein -- when you mouseover it, you get a lot of:

ERROR: Weapon with mismatched or missing speed and damage stats was not converted to DPS

Ah, I see. I don't plan for Pawn to ever do anything like that. Pawn tries to avoid doing anything that's class-specific. Also, since Rating Buster does it, there's no real reason for Pawn to also do it.

Not quite. The native WoW stats comparison only shows you what changes on face value, that is to say that if one item has 20 attack power, and the other item has 10, it will just show a difference of 10. RatingsBuster takes it a step further and includes stat increases from attributes like strength and agility. So if that second item has 5 strength on it, and that particular class gains 2 attack power per strength, RatingsBuster will show the items as virtually equal in that regard, whereas WoW will still just show a +10 attack in favor of the first item.

Personally, I just use both RatingsBuster and Pawn, so I don't particularly see the need for Pawn to duplicate that same functionality.

Tooltip display

I really dig Pawn... Was wondering if there was an option (similar to RatingsBuster) to show the increases/decreases of stats... It's nice to have the 'pawn' value; but it would be awesome to see something visually on the go; without having to stop and drag/drop items.

Kudos!

Item Level

Hi - I just upgraded to pawn 1.2.1 and it is no longer show the item levels. I also no longer see this as an option to turn on/off. Was this feature taken out or moved to another location that I'm missing?

Thanks
