Gem/Enchants Showing Scaled Values

[gmarco]

Hi,

I have, like a lot of other players, a banker pg of level 1 or 2.

When I use it on AH to buy gems or enchants for my others pg, which are level 90, I find very difficult to find the right thing because I see the scaled value of the obj to my level 1 and not seeing anymore (after patch 5.4) the stats the obj will have when used by a pg of level 90.
Considering that I am using an italian client (which have no translation in wowhead and others help site) you should realize that trying to buy something advertised and suggested in english site (like icy-veins, noxxic.com and so on) is a real nightmare and it is a very faulty process :-)

Now I ask... Is there or could be useful to have an addon that shows the values of the obj also for level different from the one of the pg is checking it ?

Thanks for help/suggestions/tips and tricks.

I don't know of any addon that will solve your problem, but:

Even though Wowhead doesn't have an Italian localization, you can still click the "Links" button on the English Wowhead page and paste the provided link in-game. The link itself will appear with the item's English name, but if you click on it in-game, the tooltip will show it in your language, so you can make sure the item you're buying is the item you're supposed to be buying.

Drycoded and untested

local pLevel = UnitLevel("player")
local maxLevelTip = function(frame,type,index)
  if GameTooltip:IsOwned(frame) then
    local item, link = GameTooltip:GetItem()
    if item and link and pLevel < MAX_PLAYER_LEVEL and IsAltKeyDown() then
      local modlink = gsub(link,":(%d+)(:%d+:%d+\124h%[)",format(":%d%%2",MAX_PLAYER_LEVEL))
      print(modlink) -- debug
      GameTooltip:SetHyperlink(modlink)
      GameTooltip:SetOwner(frame,"ANCHOR_RIGHT")
      GameTooltip:Show()
    end
  end
end
if IsAddOnLoaded("Blizzard_AuctionUI") then
  hooksecurefunc("AuctionFrameItem_OnEnter",maxLevelTip)
else
  local e = CreateFrame("Frame")
  e.addon_loaded = function(_,_,addon)
    if addon == "Blizzard_AuctionUI" then
      e:UnregisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
      hooksecurefunc("AuctionFrameItem_OnEnter",maxLevelTip)
    end
  end
  e:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
  e:SetScript("OnEvent",e.addon_loaded)
end

Might work if Blizzards lets enchant and gem links scale same as Heirlooms.
What this code does is it replaces the linklevel field with the max_level if player level is below that.
You could obviously customize it for any level.

Like I said the constructed link should be proper but I'm not sure the game will respect it.

Thanks Phanx & Dridzt for the kind replies.

I'll give a try to Dridzt's code to study it a little bit more in the weekend :-)

Thanks again ... really appreciated.
