Trinity Sim Help

Install TrinitySim AddOn 0.2.6

The TrinitySim AddOn exports your character, including your bags, so every tool can use it. Install it once; the export takes a few seconds in game. The package names the game versions it was built for; this is not a live-client compatibility test.

• Easiest: install TrinitySim from CurseForge (search for TrinitySim in the CurseForge app); the app keeps it updated.
• Or download the .zip below and copy the TrinitySim folder to World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/, with TrinitySim.toc directly inside that folder.
• In game, open the AddOn from the AddOn Compartment or its minimap button.
• The .zip includes README.txt with the step-by-step install guide.

Export your character

In the AddOn, choose Generate. Focus the export text, use the copy control, then press Ctrl+C. World of Warcraft AddOns cannot write to the system clipboard on their own. Generate a fresh export after changing your gear or character.

Compatibility: text profiles

For compatibility, Smart Sim also accepts a compatible text profile of your character: paste it into Smart Sim’s profile step, which says which formats it reads. We recommend the TrinitySim AddOn instead: its export carries more of your character’s data, works with every tool and can give faster, more accurate results. Top Gear and Drop Optimizer need the AddOn export because a text profile does not identify the items in your bags.

Smart Sim

Simulate your character as it is. Paste your AddOn export, review the fight (each role has its own scenarios: a tank picks Boss or Dummy, a healer Mythic+, Raid or Dummy) and start. Before anything is sent the page checks that your specialization and game version can run; if not, it says why and nothing is charged.

Top Gear

Find the best combination of what you wear and what is in your bags, for DPS, tanks and healers. DPS sets are ranked by damage, tank sets by how much damage you withstand without falling, healer sets by useful healing. Import a fresh AddOn export, untick the items you do not want to try and start. The bar counts the combinations (“up to” until Run checks which items can be worn together) and, once priced, the fights against your plan.

Drop Optimizer

Find out which boss or dungeon to farm first. Pick one raid or all of them, one dungeon or every one at once, the difficulty and, in Mythic+, the keystone level; the Great Vault and the Catalyst are there too. Each item is simulated on its own against what you wear and ranked by your role's number. A whole raid is included on every plan; every dungeon at once needs Vanguard or Ascendant. Import an AddOn export first: only it identifies the items you wear.

Precision

Each step up simulates more fights for a steadier result and can take longer. Your available precision depends on your current plan and product; check the current limits on Membership and the request summary before sending.

Scenario and targets

The targets control says what it means for your role: enemies hitting you (tank), allies you heal (healer) or targets you damage (DPS). When the scenario fixes the count, for example a healer’s Mythic+ group, it is written out instead of a control. A tank picks the same content tier in Smart Sim, Top Gear and Drop Optimizer, so the three read the same number for the same tier.

Consumables and class buffs

In step 2 (Advanced options, under the precision) Smart Sim, Top Gear and Drop Optimizer let you switch consumables on or off and choose each class buff you receive, including Bloodlust/Heroism, with All and None shortcuts. Everything is on by default. The result’s measured conditions list what was applied.

DPS, Tank and Healer

Start with the headline for your role. DPS results lead with damage and where it comes from. Tank results lead with how much damage you withstand, then survival and mitigation; healer results lead with useful healing (effective healing plus what your shields absorb), then overhealing and mana. Smart Sim, Top Gear and Drop Optimizer show the same role panel. To compare a tank across products, use the same tier and look at your current gear: Top Gear’s and Drop Optimizer’s headline is with the gear they recommend, and your current gear’s figure is shown under it. A value that is not shown was not measured in that run.

Explain this result with AI

On a result, “Explain this result” writes what the numbers mean for you. It uses your plan’s AI credits (see Membership). Once you have it, it is saved with that result: it opens straight away when you come back, in the other language too, and you are never charged twice.

Your result's link

Each result has its own link, and it is private: only your account (or, as a guest, this browser) can open it. Use “Copy report link” to come back to it or to open it on another device with your account. Sharing results with other people is not available yet.

“Effect not simulated”

The report names an item whose special effect was not simulated. That item’s improvement may be underestimated or overestimated, so do not treat its ranking as a complete comparison.

How the limits work

Each plan has a capacity per simulation, not a monthly balance, counted in equivalent fights: one Top Gear combination counts as 5,000 equivalent fights on the paid plans and 1,250 on Explorer, and Membership shows each plan’s capacity with its combinations. A simulation usually runs fewer real fights than the capacity it uses; the result shows both. Top Gear’s bar counts your combinations against your plan before you run.

Simulations tray: run several, come back to any

The Simulations button in the top bar lists your runs in progress, the ones that just finished and earlier ones. You can leave a waiting screen without cancelling the run, start others up to your plan’s limit and open any of them from the tray.

Waiting for a simulation

A run starts when capacity is available. The progress screen shows queue position and an estimated wait when the service provides them; that estimate can change. Vanguard and Ascendant runs have the same priority over Explorer runs, and a waiting run moves up over time, so no plan guarantees a fixed wait.

Game build is not supported

The exported character came from a patch TrinitySim does not simulate yet. Compare the patch in the notice with the supported patch it names. If your game is older, update it and export again; if it is newer, wait until TrinitySim supports that build.

Too many items for this request

Use the quote’s item limit to reduce the Top Gear selection. If no items fit, lower precision or review whether your plan allows a larger request.

Bag inventory could not be verified

Update TrinitySim AddOn and make a new snapshot in game so the bag rows carry the required verification data. Older snapshots may not be accepted for Top Gear.

This tool needs an AddOn snapshot

Top Gear and Drop Optimizer need the character export from the AddOn. If you have a text profile, use it in Smart Sim or create a fresh AddOn export for these tools.

Text profile was not accepted

Check that you copied the complete profile and try it in Smart Sim. If the message persists, use a fresh TrinitySim AddOn export or contact support from this page.

Does Trinity Sim support DPS, tanks, and healers?

Yes: Smart Sim, Top Gear and Drop Optimizer work for every role: DPS, Tank, and Healer. Each role uses its own outcomes—damage for DPS, survival and mitigation for tanks, and effective healing and mana for healers. Each specialization is checked for your game version before a run; if one is not ready, Trinity Sim says so instead of inventing a result.

Why is one item level different from the number in the card?

The card shows the character’s equipped average. Each item tile shows that specific item’s level.

Why can an icon or tooltip be missing?

The interface uses the official media and spell records. If the provider omits one, Trinity Sim keeps the missing state honest instead of inventing an icon or description.

Can I copy the active talents?

Yes. Open the talent loadout from the imported character card and use «Copy loadout code» when a valid code is available.

Character snapshots

We use your character snapshot to run the simulations you request. The Privacy Policy explains what is stored and for how long.
