So i'm just diving in to the whole Mixin stuff and am not sure if this is possible.

As GetDetailedItemLevelInfo() is still not returning the correct value all the time, i stumbled upon this thread which worked wonders for me.

Code:

local function getItemlvl(unit, slotIndex)

        if slotIndex == 18 then

                slotIndex = 19

        end

        if unit and UnitExists(unit) then

                local item = Item:CreateFromEquipmentSlot(slotIndex)



                if item then

                        return item:GetCurrentItemLevel()

                end

        end

end

This will return the correct values on the PaperdollFrame, however i'm now hitting a wall to understand how i can do the exact same thing for the InspectFrame.
As CreateFromEquipmentSlot will only take the slotIndex, it somewhere hast to point to the player's inventory. If i could replicate that and point to the inspected unit's inventory this would open the door to the solution.

Is this even possible somewhow with using this/a Mixin?

EDIT: also using the CreateFromItemLink Mixin doesn't show the correct itemLevel else this wouldn't be an issue.

The mixin isn't doing any magic here. If you look at the GetCurrentItemLevel call from the mixin:

Lua Code:

function ItemMixin:GetCurrentItemLevel() -- requires item data to be loaded
    if self.itemLink then
        return (GetDetailedItemLevelInfo(self.itemLink));
    end
    if not self:IsItemEmpty() then
        return C_Item.GetCurrentItemLevel(self:GetItemLocation());
    end
    return nil;
end

You can see it's just calling GetDetailedItemLevelInfo with an item link. So item links *do* work, you just need the right one. The link encodes a bunch of info in addition to the item id and I would guess that it needs that. Looking at the definition of an itemstring, (http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/ItemString) "linkLevel" might be the important bit.

In beta I had to change the linkLevel to the level of the character wearing the item, otherwise the itemLevel would be scaled to my own level.
