Equipment Info: Improvements #40

The API leaves a lot to be desired for quality, durability, state, etc of equipment. It was some math formula that Habna had where every item was "scored" and I have no idea of what relevance it may still have today, years later. That is certainly something we can discuss. It's not the level of the item though.

That doesn't sound too promising about the API. As I also play WoW the thing I'm missing in Lotro is the ability to instantly see the ilvl of my current equipment at a single glance: maybe something like that could be used for the Equipment Info? Just like the current tooltip, that already provides the Item names, but now with added ilevl. And as I doubt it even possible: display of the items with their sockets and essences if slotted.

Going to close this as invalid for now. We can discuss removal of the numbers, I'm just not sure what the scoring is based on or what value it currently has for others.

Fair enough. The main questions that could be looked into is the capabilities of the API in regards to displaying ivl. After that it can be discussed what to do with the Equipment Info.

The information that can be obtained through the API about a Turbine.Gameplay.Item:

Those few methods you described aren't really that spectacular in regards to usability for Equipment Info as every data can be accessed in the normal character window and the Equipment Info should offer additional data at a single glance.

What does GetItemInfo do as the wiki is empty for that one?
