World of Warcraft Tips

Blizzard Entertainment created the WoW Armory to aide old and new players alike in the World of Warcraft universe. The armory is a searchable database chock full of information about the World of Warcraft. The armory gets its information from actual game servers and that makes it the most comprehensive source of World of Warcraft Characters, arena teams and guilds that ever existed in the WoW universe.

Everything in the WoW Armory is updated automatically. Some have argued that the armory is not entirely helpful in all aspects of the game. The armory is not an entirely suitable replacement for non-“life” character databases. The reason behind this is because the armory only saves a character’s status after each logout and thus cannot display multiple sets of gear for the different aspects in the game like PvP, instance healing and resistance sets.

Noobs will have to work hard in order to be recognized by the WoW Armory because players who have a ranking of level 10 or below will not be displayed. When the armory was first introduced to the World of Warcraft Universe, many players were skeptical at first because they did not want their items and stats to be viewable by other players but that isn’t the case at all. General information on all characters can be found in the armory but information on individual players can only be viewed by the player themselves. So there is still privacy for all players.

Another neat feature of the armory is the Arena Hall of Fame. The armory keeps track of the top .5 percent of teams from a battlegroup’s arena of teams. Those top teams are then commemorated in the Arena Hall of Fame. Special awards are given out to individual players who play more than 20 percent of the team’s games. Special awards include the nether drakes and specialized titles.

The interface of the World of Warcraft Armory is very simple and super easy to use. Even if you are a first time player, you will find yourself loving the Armory right away. The simple user interface makes it incredibly easy for a player to retrieve stats on any kind of character and all the accompanying attributes of the character. There is no simpler way to compare characters and skill-sets in this game.

The getting started page found in the armory is a great guide for new players. This page lays out everything for you so you can find the information you need without having to break your back looking for it. It even includes a handy glossary for all the gaming terminology that you may encounter while playing World of Warcraft.

The WoW Armory is the best place to run to when you have questions about the game play in World of Warcraft. Strapping yourself with the right knowledge about items and your enemies can make strategizing easier for new players. Although the armory is still in beta status, players should expect this to improve in the near future because of the usefulness of this tool.
