The first phase of our comprehensive Armory optimization is now live. The goal of this ongoing optimization is to increase performance, functionality, and intuitiveness across the board.

The first phase includes the following specific improvements:

  • Smarter, faster results pages: The Armory’s various search results pages respond more quickly when changing pages or sorting within the results. The Armory’s right hand panel also takes advantage of this new speed and now remembers what page you were last viewing as well.
  • Faster item tooltips: The tooltips that appear when mousing over items in a character profile or an item search results page are now much more responsive.
  • Open Armory links in new windows/tabs: Now you can open links from the Armory in their own tabs or windows for quick comparisons between profiles, items, search results, and more.
  • New advanced item search button: This button takes you to the Armory’s powerful advanced item search options and is located in a prominent, convenient location under the main search field.
  • And much more: Many more specific improvements have been implemented, the details of which can be found on the Updates page. In addition, general performance has been greatly improved in the areas of response time, loading time, and memory usage.


You can now access the Armory via a new shortened URL, http://www.wowarmory.com. We hope you enjoy the improvements. As always, check the Updates page (http://www.wowarmory.com/updates.xml) for details on the latest additions and refinements to the Armory.

Q u o t e:
One thing I just noticed, can you update the forums so wowarmory.com is on the "safe list", and we aren't prompted that was are going to an external site?

Q u o t e:
Suggest an Upgrade isn't working. It keeps suggesting Swords and Daggers for me.


We're aware that it is not recommending fist weapons at this time. We hope to get that corrected when we are able to. We just wanted to let you know you weren't forgotten. ;)

I guess that means that you guys weren't making none-to-subtle hints that I should respec after all.


We just want you to keep being you. ;)
