Frequently Asked Questions


	What is the Armory? The Armory is a vast searchable database of information for World of Warcraft - taken straight from the real servers and presented in a user-friendly interface. Since the Armory pulls its data from the actual game servers, it is the most comprehensive and up-to-date database on the characters, arena teams, guilds, items, dungeons, raids, bosses, and faction rewards of World of Warcraft in existence. What can I search for in the Armory? You can search for characters, items, guilds, dungeons, arena teams, bosses, and faction rewards. You can select one of these master search filters from the top drop-down menu before entering a search term. What is the "Pin a Profile" feature? At the top right hand corner of the Armory you will see a window that is used to save a particular character profile for easy reference and some extra functionality. While viewing a character profile, click the small pin in the upper right of this window to “pin” the profile, thereby saving it to the window. Pinning the profile will display some of the character’s basic information, including name and arena teams, in the pinned profile window. Clicking on the various elements of this window will take you to different sections of the character profile with one click. The character name will take you to the main character profile. The character’s guild name will navigate to the character’s Guild page. Arena team icons displayed at the bottom of the window will highlight if the character belongs to the appropriate team types, and the icons will take you to that arena team’s page. At the bottom left of the pinned profile window, there is a drop down menu that allows you to turn a second tooltip on and off. This option will be enabled by default. With the second tooltip activated, mousing over an item will display a second tooltip of the item in the pinned character’s corresponding inventory slot. This will occur both in an item search results page as well as when viewing other character profiles. Pinned character profiles will also remain pinned on subsequent visits to the Armory. You must have cookies enabled in your browser to use this feature. What is the "Find an Upgrade" option for items in a character profile? Mousing over any item in a character profile will display a small arrow that turns into a button. Clicking this "Find an Upgrade" button will take you to an item search results page. On this page will be a list of items that may be considered upgrades for that item and for that particular character. These recommended upgrades will take into account the character’s class, statistics, and overall gear quality. In this manner, you can look for upgrades for your character’s items as well as for any other character in World of Warcraft. This feature is also intended to be helpful for characters with multiple gear sets, as they can find upgrades for all their sets. The recommended upgrades feature will produce the most accurate results when used on characters that have no buffs affecting their statistics. Read more at our Find an Upgrade FAQ. What does the term "relevance" mean on the search results pages? Similar to a search engine relevance rating, the relevance category attempts to sort the matches to a search with the goal that the most appropriate matches appear near the top of the search results. Relevance is determined by running a combination of factors through an algorithm. These factors are different depending on what category is being searched for. For example, relevancy for a particular character name search may be affected by the level of the character, the last login time of the character, and other factors. Will I be able to control what types of information are displayed on the Armory? In the future, more types of information will be added to the Armory. Some of this new information may have a default state of being "private" in that it cannot be viewed by others. However, you will have the option to toggle some or all of this new information as "public" at your discretion. What are the recommended and supported browsers for the Armory? The Armory supports Internet Explorer (version 6.0 and up), Opera 9, and Safari. However, the Armory is best experienced with Firefox. In addition, certain features require Flash Player to function. Currently, the arena team icons are Flash elements, and future aspects of the Armory may be reliant on Flash as well.
