Outfitter: Swapping Gear Sets in WoW Classic
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruOutfitter saves gear sets and switches them in one click: tank set, DPS set, fishing or resistance set. On the WowX5 x5 server, where you swap roles often and gear up fast, it saves time in and out of combat.
What Outfitter does
- Gear sets — save kits (tank, DPS, resistance, fishing).
- One-click swap — switch the whole set with a button or command.
- Auto conditions — change on entering combat, stealth, a form, or mounting.
- Bar buttons — put a set on the action bar or minimap.
- Hints — shows which items a set is missing.
Make a dedicated resistance set (fire for MC, nature for AQ) — Outfitter equips it before the boss and restores your main kit afterwards.
Installing Outfitter
Addons in WoW Classic are installed manually by copying a folder. For Outfitter: 1. Download the addon for the 1.12.1 (Vanilla) client, not Era/Retail. 2. Unzip it. Inside there should be a Outfitter folder with a .toc file. 3. Copy the folder into <WoW folder>/Interface/AddOns/. 4. Launch WoW, click "AddOns" at the bottom-left of the character screen. 5. Make sure the addon is listed and checked, then log in.

Tuning for x5 rates
Hybrids (druid, paladin, shaman, warrior tank) on x5 switch roles between pulls often. Outfitter swaps the whole set instantly — tank to DPS and back with no manual item dragging.
Compatibility and combos
The addon works well with:
Don't use Outfitter and ItemRack at once — both hook gear swapping and conflict. Keep one.
Common problems and fixes
A set won't equip: Check that all set items are in your bags, not the bank.
Auto-swap doesn't fire: Enable the right condition in the set settings (combat/stealth/form).
Set button disappeared: Recreate the button via /outfitter or return it to the bar.
