Can Be Upgraded
.
Toggle options on all item pages display an approximation of the upgraded stats, including trinket procs, which aren't displayed in the in-game UI. Quick Facts displays the currency cost for all upgrades.
We added an option to our advanced tooltip code to display upgraded items instead of the basic version. Adding "upgd=" and specifying the upgrade amount (1 or 2) will display the new version.
Tooltips have been redesigned to better match the new in-game layout.
Player abilities (class abilities, talents, glyphs, specializations) now have additional ability information in the
"Type" column on search results

Mogit's creators
for helping us out! Either type in a hexadecimal color code or click on the square to the left to change the color, hue, or saturation. You'll then get a list of items that include that hue.

Our first massive transmog feature was unveiled: a
database
of all matching items in the game--currently numbering over 1000 sets. We added image browsing in addition to list browsing--there are two tabs, it's the default one. Our reasoning was that you probably want to be able to see the set before clicking on it, if you're one of those visual oriented players.

January 2009
We renamed the Beginner's forum to
Help & Support
to make it clear it's not just for "noobs."
The Wrath of the Lich King forum was merged into the
WoW General
forum. Seems a bit silly to keep it separated after the focus of the game has shifted to it!
December 2008
Thanks to some generous help from the folks at
Rawr
and at
Elitist Jerks
, our
stat weighting presets
have been updated for Wrath of the Lich King. Go give them a try!
Our stat weighting system now allows you to
group items by slot
, for a comprehensive list of the best gear available.
The
filters
on our item pages have been cleaned up! We've replaced the Physical and Spells categories with a simpler Offensive and Defensive section. We've also moved some of the more rarely used filters down to the "Miscellaneous" category.
We've consolidated all the combat ratings down to a single stat, so melee/ranged/spell ratings are no longer listed separately. For finding the few items that grant one type without granting another (like the
Netherstrand Longbow
), the individual sub-stats are listed on the filters in a separate section.
Since hit rating uses a different coefficient for spells and for melee, we've changed the system so that it shows the spell coefficient for items with
spell power
on them, and the melee coefficient otherwise.
We've added
glyph type
and
class
filters to the
Inscription
profession listing.
November 2008
We now haz a
blag

June 2008
Now you can order the items in a filtered list based on an item score you can customize yourself, effectively producing a list of the
best items
per your weights! Just click the "Create a weight scale" link to open up the weighting UI.
You can now perform quick searches within
search results
,
filtered lists
, or
any listing
really! The quick search includes not only the name of the item, but also everything that is visible! A search within
this listing
for "70 pvp" will return any items that have those keywords in any column. Please note that as the label in the search box implies, this will only search within displayed results, and as such is most effective if what you are looking for is within these results.
Now you can filter the results of an individual column! Just right click on the column header, enter a search term, and it will show only results that contain those terms. For instance, you may want to filter your class'
skill list
to only display abilities for certain levels.
The Source column for
items
now has more detailed information. For instance, you can now see what specific NPC drops or sells the item you're looking for, and what zone the NPC is in, without a separate page load!
Each stat that is filtered for is now added as an
additional column
in the results, which you can sort by or filter for.
The
Wowhead Client
is now available for Mac OS X!
Seasonal quests have now been sorted by holiday! You can now check out each individual holiday category
here
.
Weapons and Armor filters will now only show the relevant
slots
. For example, creating a filter in the daggers category will only show main-hand, one-hand, and off-hand slots.
Wowhead now has a
screenshot viewer
! Now, rather than taking you to a whole new page to see a screenshot, the screenshot will pop up in a convenient lightbox, tailored to fit the size of your browser window. You can even link directly to a screenshot just by copying and pasting a URL!
May 2008
Wowhead is now available in
French
,
German
, and

The
Powered
script now supports links pointing to the localized sites.

"Same model as"
tab is now available on select
item
and
NPC
pages. The tab contains other items or NPCs that share the same model!
April 2008
Check out the new
abilities
tab! You can now look at any NPC on on Wowhead and see exactly what abilities that NPC uses. There are still a very few NPCs that don't have ability information -- this will fill in as we get more dataz from the
Wowhead Client
.
The
Wowhead model viewer
has now been updated! You can now view 3d models for
armor pieces
,
item sets
, and
humanoid NPCs
! You can even change the race and gender you want them displayed on, and the model viewer will remember what you selected!
Wowhead, and all sites
powered thereby
, will now sport tooltips for
quests

pages now have in-game links, just like
items

Client
is now fully Windows Vista compatible!

!. We expect to see pretty formatting on all your posts from here on out--don't let us down, now!
February 2008
The 3D Model Viewer has been updated! Not only is it faster than ever, it now features support for
mounts
of all types,
small pets
, and some
non-combat
pets. We've also changed it to display in the same window, instead of in an annoying pop-up. If you have any issues, please report them
here
!
Dynamic Searching
! Now, as you're trying to remember the name of that item you were looking for, Wowhead will offer suggestions! This also works on the
Browser Search Plugins
, though users will have to remove and re-add their plugin before the new functionality is active.

August 2007
The
talent calculator
has been updated! The improvements are the following:
You can now increase the level cap to 80, for those of you wanting to experiment with builds for the new expansion!
The calculator now has a "Lock/Unlock" button, to prevent accidental changes. Also, when you follow a link to a build, the talent calculator will be locked by default, making it much easier to read non max-level builds.
We've improved the layout so it's more convenient (e.g. resetting a specific tree has never been so simple).
The following enhancements have been made to the comments system:
Select formatting features have been introduced to comments. You can now
italicize
or
bold
parts of your comments to make them stand out. Comments may also have links with custom display text defined, and you now have the ability to display bulleted or numbered lists.

We have teamed up with
WoWWiki
to bring you even more information on the site via articles that are embedded right into the pages you're used to visiting. Here are a few sample "articled" pages:
Karazhan
,
The Botanica
and
Thunderfury
. Over time, more and more articles will be made available.

April 2007
Maps
are now at your disposal for all your mapping needs! You can even mark interesting locations and send the map to your friends!
The site's layout has gone from a fixed width layout to a flexible one allowing you to make use of your screen real-estate on larger monitors (only works if you aren't using Internet Explorer 6).
Random enchantments listings have been simplified. The item suffixes (e.g. of the Bear) have been consolidated, and each shows a range of values for each possible attribute. (e.g.
Abjurer's Tunic
)
Normal and Heroic drops are now properly distinguished.
March 2007
Enchantments may now be filtered by slot (e.g.
list of bracers enchants
).
Footlockers
, those locked boxes that rogues have to practice their lockpicking skill, now have their own category.

Never miss a quest again! The location of quest givers have been added to all zones maps (e.g.
Duskwood
).
All Dungeons and Raids zones now have Bosses listed under their own tab (e.g.
Scarlet Monastery
).
A new
Account Settings
page is now available for logged in users. This page lets you change your password and e-mail address. It can also be used to set a public description (more about yourself, etc.) that will appear right in your profile. Upcoming user preferences will also be available on this page soon. To access this page, simply click the Account Settings button in the above menu.
Item filtering is now smarter than ever! Here are some sample searches you couldn't do before:
Permanent item enhancements you can use on your helm.
Temporary item enhancements that boost your melee critical strike rating.
Consumables that increase your Strength.
Trinkets that yield a spell haste rating bonus.
Food crafted by Cooking that increase your spell damage.
...the list goes on. Be sure to
contact us
if you have any ideas for new filters.
