Ever wonder where to get a piece of your set's gear? Ever wonder who drops it?
Can't remember what your set bonuses are and when you get them?
Want to see what you look like in the some of the game's most elite sets of armor?
Set Wrangler is the AddOn for you!
Set Wrangler is a tool designed to assist you with your quest to collect your class armor sets.
From an in-game window you can easily navigate to your class' armor sets by using the tabs located at the bottom of the window.
Once you have selected your class you will have tabs at the top of the screen that allow selection from armor sets available to that class.
From this screen you can find a wealth of information about the set you are currently browsing.
Disconnects:
As a compromise I have included the option (on by default) to use ONLY the Player's local cache thus preventing any disconnects. If you turn this option off, you may disconnect, but you will have access to all items of which the server is currently aware.
It may be a good idea, intermitently, when you are not too busy, to turn this option off and try to load as much data as you can.
Click the 'Preview' button to check your character out in any available armor set. See how certain pieces of a set look with what you already own' or just try the whole set on and drool a little bit!
Click the 'Link' button to link the armor set to system of your choice. Friends not using Set Wrangler? No problem! Just choose 'Guild' from the drop-down menu and click the 'Link' button. The links to the selected items will appear in guild chat.
Right-Click on any item or set title, to look at individual pieces or whisper piece information to your friends.
Shift-Click on any item to place that link into the chat text window.
Keep in mind that, for both the Preview and Link features, only CHECKED items will be used to perform the desired operation. For example, if you wish only to try on the head-piece of a particular set, simply deselect all of the set items by unchecking the set title and then reselect the head-piece.
Information Provided:
When the title of an armor set is selected, the information pane will indicate any set bonuses received and at what point in the collection they are received. For instance, '3:' indicates that the bonus is applicable after you have collected 3 pieces of that set.
When an item of a set is selected the right-hand pane will display information on how to obtain that piece. The actual type of information displayed depends on the type of armor set you are currently viewing.
For sets that are 'dropped', you will see the place that the item is dropped and who drops it. In addition, you will see the percent chance that this item has if dropping. These numbers are not exact.
For sets that become available as you advance through the PvP ranks, you will see the rank required to attain that piece of the set.
For statistics on an individual piece of the set, simply hold the cursor over the item's display icon.
Instructions:
To use Set Wrangler, type /sw or bind a key to toggle the main window.
Errors and Bugs:
Some of this data is entered by hand. If you come across any errors or bugs please let me know about them either by private message or in the comments below.
Suggestions:
I would love to hear any suggestions about how to improve this AddOn!
Notes:
This is not a replacement for LootLink nor is LootLink required to run this AddOn. This AddOn is very specifically geared toward the collection of class sets.
This AddOn works best when your UI scale is set to less than 0.9 (90%)
Thanks to all the people who have help me maintain Set Wrangler i couldn't have done it with out you.
- WANTED*****************************************
People to add Support for French, Korean, Chinese and Spanish and someone to Fix the German Support
Send me a PM if you can do it.
Version 2.3.2
- Added All PvP Tier 3 Gear.
- Fix the Gauntlets of Valor drop location.
Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
