About Pawn
Pawn calculates scores for items to help you easily find upgrades for your gear. It's completely customizable, and applicable to any class and situation: for example, it can help you decide whether to equip the ring with a higher item level but one stat you don't want (say, strength for shamans), or the ring with the lower item level but all good stats. It's that level of customization that makes it very different from more general mods like GearScore and more specialized mods like TankPoints.
Pawn can be used by new players right off the bat without needing to change any options, or by advanced players who plan out their gear upgrades, build Excel spreadsheets, install Rawr, and read Elitist Jerks.
Language support
Pawn works with English, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese, and includes an untested translation into Traditional Chinese. Unlike most addons, it's NOT possible to use the English version on a language that it doesn't support. (If you're interested in helping translate Pawn into other languages, let me know!)
Staying in touch
Become a fan of Vger on Facebook and get updates of new versions and stuff like that. You can also leave questions or comments there if you don't have an account on this site.
Prerelease alpha versions of Pawn are occasionally available on CurseForge.
Getting started
Pawn will automatically set itself up to work with your characters, but there's a lot that you can do to customize it. See the readme file included with Pawn for more information on getting the most out of Pawn.
Version 1.8.4
Priests will no longer incorrectly see bows, crossbows, and guns as potential upgrades when using the built-in Wowhead scales.
Version 1.8.3
Sha-touched items from Heart of Fear and Terrace of Eternal Spring (all difficulties) will now always be valued (for base value) as if you've completed Wrathion's Chapter II questline and can add a prismatic socket to the item.
Added a Brailian Portuguese translation. Thanks maxmag!
Includes minor updates to the other translations.
Fixed a couple minor display issues on the Compare tab when one item had sockets and the other did not.
Thunderforged and Heroic Thunderforged items on the English PTR will no longer show (?) on their tooltips.
Version 1.8.2
Fixed a bug in average item level calculations when inspecting hunters. (Their ranged weapons were only getting counted for half the appropriate level.)
The Reforging Advisor will now also show up when you right-click an item while talking to an arcane reforger.
Version 1.8.1
This version of Pawn now includes French support, thanks to translation volunteers othor and Snuff, and an untested Traditional Chinese translation based on work by BNSSNB.
Reduced Pawn's memory usage by about 35% (at least on my PC) by optimizing the way translations are loaded. Pawn's memory usage should return to about where it was back when it was for a single language only.
Corrected a calculation problem where the Ghost Iron Dragonling trinket was undervalued because Pawn suggested Cataclysm cogwheels for it instead of Mists of Pandaria cogwheels. (Thanks durandal42!)
Fixed a minor problem that could occur when using the Compare tab if you used Pawn in the past (or on another computer), then stopped using it, then sold some of your best items, and then started using it again.
Version 1.8
This version of Pawn now works for German and Russian in addition to English. Big thanks to the translation volunteers Sandmahn and mgotovtsev! It also has an untested Simplified Chinese translation based on work by bigbamboo.
This version also contains a large number of changes to prepare for German, Russian, and more languages in the future.
Some now-unnecessary information that was being stored in Pawn's SavedVariables file will now be removed when logging out.
Reorganized the Options tab to make it a bit cleaner. Options for changing the digits of displayed precision for values and for controlling the visibility of (?) icons on tooltips were removed.
Changed a bunch of bits of text throughout Pawn.
Worked around a problem that occurred with Pawn annotations showing up on AtlasLoot items twice. (To show Pawn annotations on AtlasLoot items, click Options in AtlasLoot and then check Use GameTooltip.)
Added support for the Pyrium Weapon Chain and Living Steel Weapon Chain.
Crystals of Fear will now no longer improperly show (?) on their tooltips.

Invalid slot reference to character slot - did not find a reference for INVTYPE-RANGERIGHT
Why am I getting the above error when I open my engineering slot?
Also, it keeps putting a line in my chat saying ' cannot find '(current toon)'
Sorry to hear that. Do you still have those problems if Pawn is the only addon active? When you see those errors, do they appear with the word "ERROR" in pinkish salmon-colored text in your chat log? That's what the error messages that Pawn prints to your chat log look like.
By "open my engineering slot" do you mean open your engineering profession window? I'm not sure if that's a typo or if there's something that I don't know about because I don't have any characters with that profession, haha.
I was having a lot of bug issues myself, but I resolved them by exiting the game, deleting my WTF/Account/AccountName/ServerName/CharName/SavedVariables/Pawn.lua file and restarting the game with ONLY Pawn enabled, just to see it work. Then, I was able to successfully re-enable all my other add-ons. Thanks for the great add-on!
Glad you like it! Any ideas which of your other addons might have been most likely to have been conflicting with Pawn?

I don't have too much to go on here, but I'm guessing this occurred when you hovered over the Pawn icon on the Inspect window. Another addon that you're using appears to be preventing Pawn from getting correct item level information for that player. I've got a fix that I think will help in 1.5.19, but I don't know what addon is conflicting with Pawn and I haven't actually observed this problem myself.
If you know how I might be able to reproduce this problem, let me know. Thanks for the report!
/script VgerCore.Message(PawnPlayerFullName) Gruffee-blades edge
/script VgerCore.Message(PawnUICurrentScale) nil
When I open PAWN from the character screen, no scales are showing. Emailed lua
Got the same problem as grufee
-- PawnUICurrentScale also returns nil for me
For the record - it does show "This is one of your best items"
Hmmm, so, I don't notice any issues with that option on, including with the SavedVariables file that gruffee sent me. Can you describe what happens when you turn that option on and off? (The scales list isn't ever visible when you're on the Options tab, just so that's clear.) Is it something like... option's on "only show upgrades," on the Values tab no scales show up, you switch to Options, switch to "show scale values and upgrade %", switch back to the Values tab, and suddenly the list of scales list appears? Do you need to /reload somewhere in there? Did I misunderstand?
Thanks for the tipoff. I'll see what I can find out!
I've found out why in my case. If I have selected "Only show upgrades" it doens't show anything. With any of the other 2 options selected it works
(Responded by email.)
Been using PAWN for ages, never a problem...even now the issue only pops up under the newly rolled druid, the other 6 toons on the same server are fine. Only loading PAWN, no other mods, still get the error message, and no scales load
Can you try a few things for me so I can diagnose what might be going on? Run these commands and tell me what it says:
/script VgerCore.Message(PawnPlayerFullName)
/script VgerCore.Message(PawnUICurrentScale)
I'd also be interested in seeing your Pawn SavedVariables file. You can find it at World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\(account name)\SavedVariables\Pawn.lua. If you could email it to me at (my character's name) @greeneclipsesoftware.com I can take a look and hopefully diagnose things better.
rolled new toon and receiver the error. no scales are showing up and no idea where to start to correct the issue
