Hello,


I am looking for a plugin that will show me how long till item buffs will drop off. This is for an item only toon.


Thanks.

AgentZ can track your item buffs. Link is in my sig.

How does it handle logging in and out of AC? Is it able to determine how much time you have left on the items you buffed before logging out?

If you log in and out the the timer becomes off by 10 or 20 seconds. AZ only tracks spells which are cast while it is active and stores the time remaining. As far as I know there is no way to determine the actual time remaining of spells cast on items whenever.

Who needs a plugin? Go old school. Cast something lvl 6 if you use lvl 7s. Then when the 6 goes up you know you have less than 15 mins before your banes fail.


I just logged in to test if this still works, its a trick I used to use ages ago. I cast weaken lock 6 on my amuli coat, that way I won't lose a bane I need, and would know it was nearing time when I see the message " Weaken Lock 6 on Bronze Amuli Coat has expired"


I know its not a plugin, but can be a viable alternative for an item only character.

That was something I used to do as my main is a player who generally only casts item spells (he has life and creature but since I am lazy I have a suit with all the important buffs). It works, but with plugins that display the buff time remaining in huds and such, it is also nice to be able to have the same ability with only item spells. AZ allows you to use one of your item spell timers as the buff remaining time in the HUD.

I cats banes/item buffs last so that I know when my creature spells are close to expiring then so are my item spells.
