Just thought I'd share a spreadsheet (Toon Names removed) I use for keeping track of gear of 54 toons in a really quick manner. I can easily decide who needs what in a matter of seconds when looting a chest - conditional formatting changes colors of gear automatically.

I only worry about the HP of the item - because I realized after a while - Nothing else Matters. - Good name for a song!

I might be in trouble. My first thought was "Hmm, this would do nicely in a Google sheet". Primarily because sharing the link and allowing others to make copies would be easy. And then my mind went to "I wonder what it would take to write a Lua to maintain it?". Now I'm deep into research on just that.

Thanks for sharing. Have you thought about just coding based on class instead of all the eye straining yellow red?

EX: Tank Classes (Grey), Heal Classes (Pink...yea sense of humor!), CC (Teal...because sense of humor!), and DPS Caster & DPS Melee...

Just a thought...that way you can fill each bucket first. EX: Tanks get geared first, healers second, cc third, then dps...or whatever rule set you'd like to follow

Yeah - I tried Many Many different color combo's - but always came back to the Green - Yellow - Red Gradient fill that Excel has as its standard.

I can Filter by class very easily - and I find the Red - is an instant Shout - to upgrade those items.

Tanks are Solid - Priest classes - I have some clerics who desperately need to get some good charm's.

Here is a macro to get All your gear for all your toons written to a Gear.ini file. Save it as a .mac file and run it on ALL toons...


Gear Macro:
Sub Main
    /declare Tag string outer
    /if (${Param0.Length}) /varset Tag ${Param0}
    /echo Outputting gear and stats to Gear.ini [${Tag}Gear]


    
/ini "Gear.ini" "${Tag}Gear" "${Me}","${InvSlot[0].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[1].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[2].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[3].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[4].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[5].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[6].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[7].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[8].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[9].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[10].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[11].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[12].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[13].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[14].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[15].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[16].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[17].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[18].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[19].Item.HP}","${InvSlot[20].Item.HP}"
    
/return

Oh..Wait - you will still need to do your 2hander.

A table that is shown in the UI for only group leader/raid leader/set specific toon. Have that toon who displays the the table to user create observers on other toons to observe their gear, or if that is too cumbersome then just query the gear every minute or a button that once pressed queries all toons for gear in raid/group. Initially doesn't sound like the hardest thing to implement.

The in-game stuff isn't the issue I was thinking about. Updating the sheet based on that data is where the issue will be. Thankfully I've done other work with the Google API.

Oh I think I misunderstood you then. I was thinking about having a table view written in Lua that would ingame show the gear and values for all toons and you could make decision based on that.

That would be simpler from a data storage perspective. Recreating all the spreadsheet logic wouldn't be terribly difficult either. But yeah, my mind went to meshing Lua with Google Sheets.
 
Is there a way to extract Augment data, similar to Inventory slot data?

example: "${InvSlot[0].Item.HP}" ... but for augments?

Having a hard time finding the augment slot codes similar to Inventory slots 0-20.

Closest I have gotten by digging through .macs on the site is "${InvSlot[0].Item.AugSlot[0].Item.HP}, but that isn't spitting out Augment HP. Likely because there are so many different augment slots?

thanks!

There are a few other gear logging macros. It looks at augs and adds them to the gear - but it doesnt just show augs.
https://www.redguides.com/community/resources/gear-mac.1975/

INI:
        |Add Aug Stuffz
        /for j 0 to 5
            /if (!${Me.Inventory[${i}].AugSlot[${j}].Empty}) {
                /varcalc itemHP ${itemHP} + ${Me.Inventory[${i}].AugSlot[${j}].Item.HP}
                /varcalc itemAC ${itemAC} + ${Me.Inventory[${i}].AugSlot[${j}].Item.AC}
                /varcalc itemMana ${itemMana} + ${Me.Inventory[${i}].AugSlot[${j}].Item.Mana}
                /varcalc itemPurity ${itemPurity} + ${Me.Inventory[${i}].AugSlot[${j}].Item.Purity}
            }
        /next j

And there is another one called gearlog which apparently doesnt work.

I havent seen any Lua scripts which are doing it.

HINT: How I keep track of my augs:

I have one column in my spreadsheet which lists my toons Worst Aug. Ie if its a tank - i might just have an AC Value 70

Then if an Aug drops I can quickly reference this column to tell which toon I should be looting on. It is such a pain to keep track of augs - a full time job on your raiding toons.
 
Interesting, i'd like a better system myself
For aug's I just /output inventory at login/logout and manual do it in raidloot.com

For gear I just look at Focus's and make sure I have the best, then everything else is just hp which I dont really track
