OneChoice

Table of Contents

OneChoice tries to help you reduce quest reward choices down to, ideally, one choice.

Blizzard's quest UI marks items your character can't use in red so you know they're unusable. For classes that can use multiple types of armor this leads to a lot of choices, but your Mail wearing Warrior or Plate wearing Death Knight probably won't be interested in Cloth armor. So OneChoice marks all armor (except relics, rings, trinkets, necklaces and cloaks) that doesn't match your character's preferred armor type red as well.

In addition to this OneChoice places a gold MV below the name of the item that vendors for the highest price. In cases where multiple items tie for this honor, the first one found ends up being marked.

A recently new feature is the addition of a iLevel differential display. This compares the iLevel of the item being offered and the one you have equipped. It will display the difference on items that you can use.

This guidance show up on the quest logs as well.

Note: I attempt to dynamically determine the localized string from the various armor types. This should allow it to work without issue for people playing on non-english copies of WoW. This ability however hasn't been tested so maybe not. If it doesn't work the first time it loads logging out and back in may fix it.

I will post under stormkeep since my problem is similar. On my warrior (which im leveling as dps but will be a tank) I had a quest reward shield that was colored red. I only noticed it because it was also marked as most valuable.

I'll add my comment as well. on my shaman toon, shields are colored red, even when wearing one. Seems you need to refine your item checks...

Shields are marking red because internally (to the game) they're armor. The addon checks if your class can wear armor based on the normal armor types (cloth, leather, etc.) and marks red everything outside of that.

Regardless of in-game Blizzard classification, its providing incorrect information. Incorrect information that could cause you to make wrong quest reward choices.

The mod is currently more hassle than its worth for people who wear shields or off-hands. Including the current v1.1.4 that is only a TOC version update from the prior one that also had the problem. The Blizzard armor classification issue needs to be worked around by the mod to make it usable.

Hi! Good addon, but can you make the new mechanics (mv + iLvl) optional plz?
On lvl 85 quest revards mostly crap but gold item name was nice...

Love this addon, it is similiar to one I used to use which automatically selected the highest sell price (but you could change it before hitting accept). I actually prefer your approach better, as it helps me avoid the mistake of getting the highest sale price reward when I could actually have used one of the other ones as an upgrade.

One little problem I'm having though, on my priest, is trinkets are being shaded red as if they were unuseable. I'm not sure if it's actually all trinkets, as I've only done one quest so far with a trinket reward. It highlighted "softly glowing orb" (Item ID 43837) in red.

Thanks for the feedback, I fixed the trinket issue in v1.1.0.

Let me know what you think of the new most valuable display. I _think_ it's more obvious that the other, although some people may prefer the older one.

I actually liked the old approach better for marking the valuable items, but only because I thought the gold text was sexy. I like the addition of the ilevel display a lot though. I use Pawn to help figure out what upgrades are, but the additional info from your addon is also useful.

I like this mod, thanks for making it. One little thing, as a shaman it is making relics red.
