General FAQ
What are Battle.net profiles?
A
Battle.net profile
is generated from existing WoW character data. Creating a Battle.net profile is great for completion progress--for example, seeing what quests you have left for
The Loremaster
or how many battle pets you've collected but haven't fully leveled to 25.
Verifying a Character and Entering Sweepstakes
Verifying a character allows you to participate in weekly in-game contests on Wowhead.

and entering in your character's Region, Realm, and Character Name.
Verify that the resulting Character Profile is yours by following the instructions when you click on the "Verification" option on the top of the tool. (If you already have a previously Verified character, you can skip this step.)
After taking off the pieces of gear, update your Profile and it should be Verified.

What is Pinning a Character?
Pinning a character means that your character's collections and progress on Mounts, Pets, Achievements, Quests, Recipes, and Titles is tracked across Wowhead. If you have a character verified and upload data via the Wowhead Client, this will also track Toys and Followers.
This includes a special "Completion" column in search results, a new area in Quick Facts, and customized tooltips showing if you have something complete or not.
Multiple characters can be pinned. Just click on the heart underneath your row of character icons.

Players can track their toybox, follower, project, ships, and heirloom collections on Wowhead with a few extra steps. This data is not readily available via the Battle.net API, so we had to improvise to display it.
To get set up, you will need to verify your character. This is a one-time process.
If you've already verified your character for a sweepstakes, you can skip this step.
Log in to Wowhead
View your character
in the Profiler
Click on the Verify option on the header and follow the instructions. If you
log in via Battle.net
, this step will happen automatically.
Download and install the
Wowhead Client
From here, whenever you want to update your Follower or Toy Box data on Wowhead, do the following:
Run the
Wowhead Client
Make sure the Wowhead Looter is enabled in your Addons interface within the game.
Log in to your character in-game (with the Wowhead Looter addon running). You don't need to open any tabs or perform any actions--just go in game and stay logged in for 5 seconds or so.
Exit WoW, and use the Wowhead Client to submit your data to Wowhead
Hit "Update" on your Character Profile to see the latest information.
Tracking Heirlooms
Your Profile will have a new "Heirlooms" tab which displays all of the items that go into the heirloom collection tab.
Track which heirlooms you've acquired and sort by source.
Keep track of which heirlooms you've upgraded to 1/2 and 2/2 with our completion column and progress bars.
Garrosh heirlooms do not count towards your total but are tracked with the tool if you have them.
Tracking Toys
Your Profile will have a new "Toys" tab which displays all of your toys, broken down by source so you can easily decide which to collect. If you click the "Filter" option on the Profiler's header, you can hide different types of toys you don't want to collect--those from the opposite faction, requiring a profession, currently-unobtainable toys, and more.
Finally, if you click the "Pin" option on your Profiler's header, your Toy Box information is displayed when you browse toys across Wowhead. Quick Facts on Toy pages, search results with toys, and tooltips will have a checkbox showing completion for your character, so you can always keep track of what you do and don't have collected.

Toy Box Filter

Battle.net profile page
, there's a new Followers tab:
