Mythic ToolTip
Group content in World of Warcraft moves fast, and judging a player's readiness before the first pull saves everyone time. Mythic ToolTip is a lightweight addon that puts the numbers you actually need directly into the unit tooltip, so a quick hover tells you whether that DPS queued for your key has the gear and the rating to back it up.
What Mythic ToolTip Does
At its core, Mythic ToolTip is a display addon. When you hover over a player, it appends two pieces of information to the standard tooltip: the character's average item level and their Mythic+ score. There is no database to load, no minimap clutter, and no performance overhead worth mentioning. It simply surfaces data that the game already tracks and presents it exactly where you are already looking.
That simplicity is the point. Raid leaders checking a pug, key holders screening applicants, or guild officers reviewing a recruit all get the same instant read. You do not need to open a website, whisper anyone, or run a separate inspection routine.
Item Level and Mythic+ Score in One Hover
Item level gives you a rough sense of gear progression, while the Mythic+ score reflects actual dungeon experience and timing history. Together they paint a far more complete picture than either stat alone. A player with a high item level but a low score may have bought carries or simply avoided keys, and Mythic ToolTip makes that distinction visible in a fraction of a second.
Slash Commands and Configuration
Everything is controlled through chat commands, which keeps the addon free of a bulky options panel. The command prefix is /mtt, and the available toggles are refreshingly short:
- /mtt score — toggles whether the Mythic+ score appears in the tooltip.
- /mtt ilvl — toggles whether the item level appears in the tooltip.
- /mtt size <number> — sets a custom font size, for example /mtt size 16.
- /mtt size default — restores the standard font size of 12.
Font sizes from 6 to 40 are supported, which matters more than it sounds. Players running high-resolution monitors or using UI scale adjustments often find default tooltip text uncomfortably small, and being able to bump Mythic ToolTip's output to 16 or 18 without touching the rest of the interface is a genuine quality-of-life win.
Version Compatibility Across WoW Eras
One of the most common questions about any addon is whether it still works after a patch or on an older client. Mythic ToolTip for World of Warcraft is built to run across the major game versions, including Retail, Classic, The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria. Whether you are pushing keys on the live servers or leveling through Classic content, the tooltip behavior stays consistent.
Compatibility does vary slightly by era, since item level and Mythic+ scoring were not part of every expansion's design. On versions where Mythic+ does not exist, the score display is simply irrelevant, while the item level readout remains useful for evaluating gear. Keeping the addon updated after major patches is the safest way to avoid tooltip errors, and using a launcher that tracks version compatibility takes the guesswork out of that maintenance. The foxygame.net launcher, for instance, keeps Mythic ToolTip current across game versions with automatic updates, so you are never manually hunting for a fresh build after patch day.
How to Install Mythic ToolTip
Installation follows the standard addon routine and takes under a minute:
- Close World of Warcraft completely before touching your AddOns folder.
- Place the extracted Mythic ToolTip folder into the Interface/AddOns directory of the correct game version.
- Relaunch the game and confirm the addon appears in the character selection AddOns list.
- Log in, hover over any player, and type /mtt size 14 if the default text feels too small.
If you prefer a hands-off approach, a one-click install through a managed launcher handles the folder placement and future updates automatically. Either way, the setup is genuinely beginner-friendly.
Who Should Download Mythic ToolTip
If you regularly form groups, run Mythic+ dungeons, or lead raids, this addon earns its place immediately. It answers the question "is this player ready?" before you commit a key or a raid slot. Players who mostly solo or quest will find it harmless but less essential.
If you are ready to download Mythic ToolTip, keep in mind that its greatest strength is restraint. It does one job, does it cleanly, and stays out of your way the rest of the time. For a tooltip addon, that is exactly the right design philosophy.
