very hard updating the site for Warlords of DraenorSo. Many. Pets.MountacularWarcraftLogsWe also have an exciting announcement--Perc and Olivia will be interviewing lead game designers Cory Stockton and Ion Hazzikostas on Friday, October 17 from 1-2 p.m. PDT. We'll be livestreaming the interview at twitch.tv/wowhead for this episode of Wowhead Weekly! Read more details here and feel free to suggest questions in the comments.Character Models

Go to wowhead.com/list

On the left-hand side of the screen that says "Battle.net", enter in your character's name and select their realm and region from the dropdown menus.

That's it! You're now looking at a 3D model version of your in-game character on Battle.net, including hair, eyes, and skin color.

To return to this page, visit the My Profiles section on your User Page. You can also look up Profiles while not logged in and see a temporary list at the top right of your screen, but these pages are only saved for 48 hours.

Talent CalculatorWowhead Talent Calculator

The Wowhead Talent Calculator covers level 100 talents and Draenor Perks. A really neat feature is that it reflects the new glyph behavior for Exclusive and Specialization glyphs.

This means that if you’ve selected a spec on the talent calculator, it will hide all glyphs your spec cannot use. If you select a glyph that modifies one ability, then the glyph-picker window will hide other glyphs that modify that same ability.

Return to Table of ContentsCollectionsToy BoxThe Toymaster

We have a special Toy Gallery with images of all items so you know what each vanity item does. You can reach this via Database > Items > Toy Box.

We also have a Toy Filter, the word “Toy” added to item tooltips, and a “Toy” classification in Quick Facts.

Mounts and PetsMountacularFelfire HawkSo. Many. Pets.Stormwinghttp://www.wowhead.com/list

The mount tab displays a mount's source, and can be filtered by type as well (Aquatic, Ground, Flying).

The Battle Pet tab marks pets as complete if they are at maximum level and rarity. Pets marked as In Progress are collected, but are not level 25 or Rare.

Players can further filter by Pet Species.

When mousing over a pet, players can view a model of the pet, their stats, and their abilities.

For example, don’t want to spend money on Trading Card Game items? Simply choose to Exclude all of those items from your ‘incomplete’ list.

You can filter out items that require the opposite faction, aren’t available on US servers, are no longer obtainable, are from a promotion, the in-game store, or TCG redemption, requires a profession, and is a reward from a Collector’s Edition.

You can filter your collection by going to "Filters" at the top right of your character profiler and then clicking the options. This will automatically move some items to a "Not Counted" category.

Return to Table of ContentsDungeons and RaidsWarcraftLogsWarcraftLogsWarcraftLogsDungeon Journal and Spell Improvements

The Dungeon Journal now offers tips for each role in addition to a list of abilities. You can view this by visiting a boss page and then clicking on the “Dungeon Journal” tab. As an example, click here to see Garrosh's updated dungeon journal.

As Normal and Heroic raids have flexible sizing (between 10-30 players), we’ve added spell scaling to boss ability pages. This works quite similar to heirloom tooltips--just move the slider to see what the ability does with different amounts of people in the raid. You can also change the difficulty shown on the spell tooltip on the page.

Return to Table of ContentsItemsItem FinderItem Finder

Just select your level range, armor slot, and spec to find the gear you need! Or search for items related to professions, mounts, glyphs, and more.

New to the prepatch, we’ve added the option to select gear from Dungeon and Raid difficulties, as well as level 100 options.

Once you are taken to a filtered list of results, you can filter it even more using our robust selection of filters! You can even customize your stat weights further by clicking on “Show Details” to refine the gear recommendations.

Item FinderFilters

Achievements: Account-wide progress, gives a reward, number of points

Battle Pets: Tameable, cageable, unique, what families they are strong or weak against

Battle Pet Abilities: Mechanics, bonuses during weather, buffs, debuffs, miss chance, team abilities

Items: All stats, BoE, BoP, toys, what raid difficulty the item drops in, tied to a profession, flavor text, removed items

NPCs: Utility NPCs like Transmogrifiers, Auctioneers, Innkeepers, NPCs that belong to a faction, bosses

Quests: Dyanamic rewards, reputation increase/decrease, daily or weekly quests, related to a world event, Loremaster quest

Share these lists with others or mark them private.

Use any of Wowhead’s filters in conjunction with items only in your bags! For example, you can filter for Mists of Pandaria crafting reagents and specify you only want to see those you have in your bags.

See on item pages and search results which items you already own.

Return to Table of ContentsTransmog ToolsTransmog Set DatabaseTransmog Set Database

Since transmog is all about visuals, this database is browsable with image thumbnails of each set in addition to the traditional text view. Mousing over each image brings up a complete image of the set.

You can browse sets by class with our filters. These filters include PvE and PvP tier items as well as BoE, dungeon, quest, and crafted sets: Death Knight, Druid, Hunter, Mage, Monk, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, Warrior.

Some sets have "Recolor" or "Lookalike" after their name. A Recolor set shows that a set is identical to other sets with the same name, but a different tint. For example, LFR and Heroic variations of a Normal set are marked as Recolors.

Lookalike refers to an identical version of a PvE or PvP tier set that can be acquired without any class specific gear. If you compare this T10 transmog set to the lookalike, you'll notice the first includes Priest tier gear like Crimson Acolyte Cowl while the second set excludes Priest-only gear.

Classic World Set covers BoE and crafted items from vanilla and TBC.

Dungeon Sets cover all gear associated with 5-player dungeons, and can be filtered further, including Challenge Mode and Troll Dungeon appearances.

Events currently include the Blessed Undead sets from the Naxxramas Invasions.

PvP Sets cover all armor associated with PvP and can be filtered further by PvP Season as well as additional sets like replica Field Marshal/High Warlord gear. Putting together a PvP set can be confusing as there are many items with the same name but slightly different coloration.

Raid Sets cover all gear primarily associated with raids, even if some items now have multiple sources. These sets can be filtered further by raid tier, and also include non-tier sets like frost and fire resistance and nonset pieces from Naxxramas.

Questing Sets cover quest sets split up by 1-70, 70-80, 80-85, and 90.

Comment by smahaffeyThank you! I've been needing this. :) Also, you may want to modify your referenced hyperlink for twitch.tv/wowhead. It's currently pointing at http://www.wowhead.com/twitch.tv/wowhead instead of http://www.twitch.tv/wowhead.Comment by perculiaThanks, fixed! Sometimes our autoformatting is too clever.Comment by neogregorianTwo questions for the interview (if you're taking suggestions):

1. Challenger's Strongbox (reward from the Daily CM quest) "can" drop LFR-quality gear piece. Is it guaranteed? If not is it a high chance or low?

2. After your first heirloom per character & difficulty, has 6.0 increased heirloom drop rate after that or is it then the same as before?Comment by perculiaWe'll definitely read over suggestions, thanks for leaving some :)Comment by lankybritThe Character Planner is pretty cool. I think I'll add each of my characters and see what it says. I really like the Achievements section.Comment by PragmaticSoulWhat'd be cool is, if you're logged into wowhead, the Character Planner should have a link by your login name at the upper right.Comment by theASCHE360thats why we love you wowhead! thanks for all the good work! :3Comment by PumpkinFeastSorry for off-topic, but could you please tell me if there are ANY additional rewards for doing the new UBRS before WoD?

For example daily loot bags or like it used to be with the Theramore's Fall pre-Mists scenario which had the chance to drop those everlasting fireworks.
If it's gear only, I don't see the reason doing it daily, since it will be available for years anyway.

Thank you for the answer in advance.Comment by PragmaticSoulIs there anything on wowhead that can look at my characters and see what glyphs they haven't learned yet, and what inks those glyphs use?

I just learned all the pre-WoD glyphs on my scribe, and want to supply my characters with fresh glyphs. :-)Comment by perculiaYes, you can go to wowhead.com/list and then enter in your character's name and realm. It will then bring up a ton of details on things you have collected, including a recipe tab.

Also re UBRS--this is a special 90 version, it won't be available in the future. The level 100 version has mostly different loot tables.Comment by purrmeaWow. Have to say the planner is pretty cool. Keep up the good work wowhead!Comment by PragmaticSoulYes, you can go to wowhead.com/list and then enter in your character's name and realm. It will then bring up a ton of details on things you have collected, including a recipe tab.Comment by perculiaOh hm, I see what you mean. I don't think we can currently show that now since it's not on the Armory, but maybe we can add a different sort of tracking for that in the future.Comment by gummiebear007Question: Will battle pet breeding make it's way into the expansion? I was really sad to see it got pushed out during Beta.

(I posted my question in the forums as well, because I'm not sure which place I need to put it.)Comment by perculiaEither place is fine, we are also looking at twitter/email for questions. We do have some topics we want to cover but we also want to see what topics are popular with our readers.Comment by DaltonImperialLittle bit overwhelmed with all of the Wowhead features: will start with the DK changes to figure out how (as Unholy) to turn Blood Runes into Death Runes without Blood Strike.

Sure your questions will be great, but here are some questions/topics if you need a few (I ramble, so you'd probably have to shorten them, and some may not be within the scope of their job):

1- Does WoD reflect a unified vision? Several features seem to be inconsistent, such as: (1) Ashran and no flying to encourage more player interaction/world PvP/prevent skipping content yet also have personal garrisons, which will largely be solo; (2) allowing people with skill level 1 of a profession to make WoD items but requiring cooldowns for most crafted gear (since entry level greens were eliminated) and then putting the 3-crafted item limit how much you could craft.

2- How do you envision garrisons working with the (now unified) Auction House? Should a single character be (largely) self-sufficient with her garrison and thus not need to use the AH (as much), or will the AH continue to play a major role for professions buildings that both are and are not in my garrison?

3- How will you measure players' views on whether flying should be added in a later patch?

4- Why did the "New in this Patch" that appears upon logging into a new character explain the ability pruning for each toon (e.g. Unholy DKs don't have Blood Strike anymore, so cast XYZ to use your Blood Runes)? Do you think you have communicated these changes well to players who may not actively visit the forums or sites like Wowhead?

5- What are some changes you made to the game in response to feedback on the Beta Forums?

Thanks.Comment by desperatwhat i would like is a good tool to see what toys i got and what i am missing, like how profiles interact with mounts or questsComment by perculiaWe're hoping Blizzard adds the toy box to the API, right now Blizzard has said that the updated API is not ready. If they don't add it shortly, we'll think of an alternate way to track toys. We'll definitely make a new post when we've set something up or Blizzard tracks it.Comment by CronkAMMy questions for the interview:

1. It's been repeated a few times that the Timeless Isle was a big success (to the point that much of the new content in WoD is at least partially an evolution on TI). What kind of metrics are used to make the success/failure determination? Do you take into account other factors that may have led to increased player activity on TI (such as the easy availability of epic gear vs. all other Mists content) and try to control for them when looking at the data?

2. Are you happy with the new healing paradigm? Based on what you've seen, read, and experienced, do you think it has accomplished (or will accomplish) what you were hoping for?Comment by JoshWayneI LOVE that the "Same Model As" tab has pics for all the listings. Would it be possible in the future to put the actual item's pic in that tab, also? Maybe with a box around it so that people realize it's the current item they're looking at. Re: I just think it would be easier to compare and see which items are exact matches to the current item and which are recolors. Keep up the good work! Love Wowhead!
