This release requires WoW 3.0 and may be incompatible with current live realms.
It seems some gadgets are inclined to break once you take them through the Dark Portal... I was in the process of moving my shop from Gadgetzan to Area 52 (gotta stay on the forefront of goblin technology, you know) and noticed some of the gizmos I'd brought with me (other engineers' gizmos, of course) had fizzled out. So, once I'd unpacked, I set to work on building replacements.
This one is a simple, lightweight variation on those gizmos that help you adventurers get a finer-grained difficulty estimate for those quests you're always going on. It's a smooth operator, so I've named it The Levelator (call it "John" and bring it on elevators if you're so inclined). Granted, there are a couple of others that do the same -- and still work in Outland -- but I haven't come across any yet that don't depend on unnecessarily large machinery.
Features:
No configuration necesssary: Quest names will appear preceded by their recommended level in brackets (in most, but not quite all places where quest names show up in the UI). Shift-clicking quests in your log to insert them in chat will insert the level as well. Quests that have an extra tag describing them in the quest log (e.g. Group, Raid, PvP) will show the first letter of that tag next to the level (e.g. '[11G] Wanted: "Hogger"').

Optional Files - Fizzwidget Levelator
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
Still getting the "concatenate local link..." message, also now getting errors about SetTextColor() being a nil value. (I think it's been changed to something like widget:GetTextObject():SetTextColor() in 3.x)
Hmm... took some time to figure this out but it seems that post 2.4.2 and post MobMap 2.0, levelator is breaking MobMap. Just wanted to put it out there, may completely be a Mobmap change, or could be Blizz. Just wanted to post so folks knew. Shows up as a Mobmap bug, but if Levelator is off, Mobmap works fine.
I've been getting the following error message as of the most recent update:
Code:

Fix in progress? Or is there a workaround I can apply myself?
I'm getting an error on login with attempt to concatenate link, a null value, on line 74. 2.4.1. Error is pretty consistent, but I haven't had time to binary-search on other mods. Changing the initializer to
