- Q: What is Armory Light?
A: Since the official World of Warcraft Armory can be, at times, slow and resource intensive, we want to give players a lightweight alternative, that not only resembles the Blizzard Armory but also adds new features like character evaluations and ratings to improve your PvE effectiveness. We hope that the service provides a useful guidance for both hardcore and casual players.
- Q: Where do you get your data from?
A: All character data is retrieved from the World of Warcraft Armory. This also imposes certain limitations on Armory Light. For example, we can only display your character like the Blizzard Armory does, including all buffs that were on your character the last time you logged out. Item data is retrieved from www.wowhead.com. Icons are directly extracted from the game files and are Copyright by Blizzard.
- Q: Why is your site so slow?
A: All data is retrieved from the Blizzard Armory and other third-party data sources. Even though item and character data is cached, the data is refreshed every 4 hours. This means that the Armory Light is highly dependant on the response time of these sources.
- Q: What does that cached stuff mean?
A: Since the World of Warcraft Armory does not update their data in realtime, there is no need to continually retrieve your character sheet. The Armory Light uses snapshots of your characters that are valid for 4 hours and are retrieved when you view your character for the first time. During the validity period, subsequent queries of the same character will be served from the cache.
- Q: Why do you have ads on this site?
A: The ads are here to help cover the server costs. A decent server unfortunately isn't cheap. If you have suggestions for Ads other than the ones served by Google, please send an e-mail to support@armory-light.com. I'm permanently looking for new ad sources since google isn't exactly the best ad provider for World of Warcraft related sites.
- Q: How can I redirect armory links to your site?
A: We provide a script for Greasemonkey, a Firefox extension, that modifies all armory links you come across on the internet so they point to armory-light.com instead. Read more about Greasemonkey here and - if you already have Greasemonkey installed - get our Greasemonkey script here.
- Q: I have a question not answered here!
A: Please drop us a line at support@armory-light.com or visit our forums.The response time in forums is generally better, though.
