Backport of BiS-Tooltip for Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5a, extended with:
- a BiS Checklist UI,
- multi-source item support (boss drops + vendor/emblems),
- and custom-server additions (including Ascension 5M Emblems and custom item IDs).
Features
Tooltip (BiS info on items)
- BiS / ALT ranking and phase information displayed directly in item tooltips.
- Class-based layout: results are grouped under class headers, with specs listed below.
- Improved sorting:
- classes are sorted by their best availability (BIS > BIS² > ALT1 > ALT2 > ALT3 ...), then by the earliest phase,
- specs inside each class are sorted by rank and phase.
- Multi-source “Source” section: when available, the tooltip can show more than one source (e.g. raid boss + emblem vendor).
- Owned info (bags + equipped). Bank/alt inventory requires optional DataStore.
Modifier key views
Hold SHIFT → compact Summary view:
- grouped into BIS / BIS² / ALTn / NO BIS,
- shows class colors + spec icons + a compact phase range tag (e.g. [T8–T9] or [PR–RS]),
- wraps to multiple lines (up to 3 entries per line).
Hold CTRL → Focus view:
- filters results to BIS / BIS² / ALT1 / ALT2 only,
- useful for quick “is it relevant?” checks without the full list.
Dual-slot handling
- For dual-slot items (rings/trinkets) and Fury DW weapons, ALT2 is promoted to BIS² to make the tooltip output clearer.
BiS Checklist UI
- Dedicated checklist panel for tracking missing BiS items for the selected class/spec/phase.
- Owned markers:
- checkmark overlays for owned items (equipped vs bags),
- stack count overlay for bag duplicates.
- BOE marker: Bind-on-Equip items are marked in the checklist grid (coin icon), making “buyable/AH” items easy to spot.
- Gems and enchants:
- gems are displayed as stat abbreviations (e.g. 20STR, 12SP/10SPI) instead of long gem names,
- recommended enchants can be shown per slot.
Emblem shopping mode
- “Emblems only” checkbox filters the checklist to items purchasable with emblems.
- Shows emblem totals needed for missing items (per currency), and can list emblem-purchasable items grouped by currency.
Custom server support
- Ascension 5M Emblem vendor support (Emblem of Ascension):
- costs are supported for tiers such as x12, x15, x19, x25, x38, x80.
- Supports server-specific custom item IDs (including newly added legendary weapons if your realm uses custom IDs).
Performance / stability
- Tooltip refresh is throttled when modifier keys change (prevents rapid re-build spam).
- Tooltip results caching (short TTL) + source caching.
- Safer cleanup of UI overlays to avoid “leftover” frame coloring when closing/reopening windows.
Optional dependencies
- DataStore + DataStore_Inventory (optional): enables broader ownership checks (e.g. bank items / characters tracked by DataStore).
Commands
- /bis or /bistooltip — toggle the main window
- /bis config — open settings
- /bis reload — reload data
- /bis help — show help
Notes for custom servers
- Loot/source data lives in Loot_Sources.lua.
- Emblem costs are defined via EmblemData.lua / Constants.lua (currency meta such as icon/short name).
- If your realm adds new custom items (including legendaries), add their item IDs to the appropriate tables so the addon can display sources and costs.
