Malitor's Armory
Every World of Warcraft player knows the dilemma: a Bind on Equip item drops, and you have no idea whether any of your alts could actually use it. Should you mail it, vendor it, or let it rot in your bags? Malitor's Armory solves that problem by turning your item tooltips into a complete alt comparison engine, and it does so without forcing you to log into every character just to check.
This addon is built for players who run multiple characters and want fast, clear answers. Instead of guessing, you get direct stat comparisons against your recorded alts right where you need them: on the tooltip.
What Malitor's Armory Does
At its core, Malitor's Armory maintains an account-wide database of your characters. Every time you log in, it quietly records the details that matter for gear decisions, including character name and realm, level and class, primary armor type, eligible primary stats, talent point distribution, profession ranks, weapon and shield proficiency, and equipped gear for gameplay-relevant slots.
That data updates automatically as your characters level up, swap equipment, learn new weapon skills, or push their professions higher. You never have to manage it manually, and you never have to wonder whether the information is stale.
Compatible Alt Tooltips
The real magic happens when you hover over a Bind on Equip or account-bound item. Malitor's Armory scans your recorded alts and displays only the characters that can actually use what you are looking at. Compatibility checks cover required character level, class restrictions, primary armor type, eligible primary stats, profession requirements and ranks, plus weapon, shield, and off-hand eligibility.
Items with identical static stats to what an alt already wears are filtered out, so you are not flooded with pointless comparisons. What remains is a clean list of genuine upgrade candidates.
Direct Stat Comparisons
For each compatible alt, the tooltip shows the character's name, realm, level, and class, along with the target equipment slot. Positive stat changes appear in green, negative changes in red, and additional stat changes get their own lines. There is no hidden weighting system and no arbitrary upgrade score. You see the raw difference between the item and what your alt currently has equipped, which makes the decision genuinely yours.
Weapon, Off-Hand, and Profession Support
Weapon comparisons account for the item type and your alt's recorded proficiency, covering one-handed weapons, two-handed weapons, shields, held-in-off-hand caster items, ranged weapons, and dual-wield eligibility. Two-handed weapons compare against both the main hand and off hand, so lost off-hand stats are included in the result. Items with profession requirements, such as an Engineering-only piece, only display alts that meet the required skill level.
Supported Game Versions and Compatibility
Malitor's Armory supports both Mainline and Classic-style clients, which means players across Retail, Classic, The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria can all benefit from the same account-wide tracking and tooltip comparisons. If you play across multiple versions of the game, the addon fits naturally into each one.
If you want to download Malitor's Armory without hunting through folders, the foxygame.net launcher offers a streamlined addon catalog where Malitor's Armory sits alongside your other favorites, handling installation and updates in a couple of clicks. For players who juggle several game versions, that convenience is hard to beat.
How to Install Malitor's Armory
- Download Malitor's Armory from your preferred addon source.
- Extract the folder into your World of Warcraft Interface/AddOns directory.
- Restart the game or reload your UI.
- Log into each character once so the database can record their data.
- Type /malarmory to open the settings page.
The settings page integrates with Blizzard's options menu and gives you an account database status readout, a tooltip comparison toggle, a character database viewer, a refresh option, safe removal of individual character records, and a full database reset. The Database Viewer is especially useful for auditing what the addon knows about each alt, including identity, level, armor type, talent distribution, eligible stats, profession ranks, weapon and shield proficiency, last recorded time, and tracked equipment. Hovering over any equipped item in the viewer shows its normal in-game tooltip.
Why It Beats Guesswork
Malitor's Armory does not try to tell you what to do. It simply gives you the information you need to decide whether an item is worth saving, mailing, or listing for another character. For anyone running a stable of alts, that clarity saves time, bag space, and gold. Give it a try, and you may wonder how you ever managed loot without it.
