The functionality is detailed on our Updates page. It includes the ability to view your characters’ recurring and player-created events in an interface replicated from the one in-game. In addition, you can respond to invitations to player-created events – which will then take effect in-game. How do I access the Player Calendar on the Armory? Simply click the new “Calendar” tab on your character profile. This will take you to a login screen where you must enter your World of Warcraft account name and password. Alternately, you can log in directly from any Armory page using the login fields on the top right of the screen, and then access the Calendar tab. Why do I have to log in to view my character's calendar? As with Guild Banks, the calendar is a login-protected feature of the Armory since it is comprised of information that is not ordinarily in “public” view. Can I respond to events on the Armory? Yes, you can respond to invitations to player-created events. If your character responds to an event on the Armory, the changes will take effect in-game. Can I view calendars of other characters? Once you are logged in to the Armory, you can view the calendars of the other characters on the same World of Warcraft account. Click on the redesigned profile menu on the top right of the Armory, and select the character you wish to view from the drop-down menu. You cannot view calendars of characters that are not on your account. Refer to the Armory Login FAQ for more details on the redesigned character profile menu. Can I create events with the Armory? No, you cannot create new events using the Armory’s Player Calendar. That functionality is reserved for the in-game player calendar.

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 happened to the "Pin a Profile" feature? At the top right hand corner of the Armory there is a tab labeled "Log In". Clicking this tab allows you to log in to the Armory using your World of Warcraft account information without leaving the current page, and displays a link to the character on the account with the highest relevance as determined by the Armory. You can use the "My Characters" option below this profile link to access the profiles of the other characters on this account. Read more about this character selection interface at our Armory Login FAQ. 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 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.
