Please help make Armory Light better: Take a short survey!

Armory Light Tools

We created several tools that make your every day World of Warcraft experience even better. These tools aren't exactly implemented into the armory-light.com website but are standalone tools that either work in your browser (like the Heirloom item scaling calculator) or on your desktop (like the desktop item viewer). Others, like our Greasemonkey script, complement your browser.


Desktop Viewer

Armory Light is proud to offer you the worlds first 3D item viewer for your desktop! That's right, whether you want the Ashbringer, Zin'rokh, Destroyer of Worlds or the Bulwark of the Amani Empire on your desktop – now you can have it!

Simply download the Armory Light Desktopviewer, install and pick an item and you instantly see the item rotating on your desktop. You can even rotate the item yourself, just like on our website. Pick between normal or topmost window mode or drag the item to any position you want, it's all possible.

Don't like the item you picked any more? You were showing the sword of your warrior but he got an upgrade? Just pick a new item! The list of items in the desktop viewer is automatically updated so you always have access to the newest and coolest items in World of Warcraft.

Do you have a WoW website yourself? Or maybe you have a guild in World of Warcraft and manage a guild website? Chance is, you have links to items or character profiles on your website. Improve your site with Armory Light functionality!

Adding tooltips for items or characters has never been easier! Just drop a single line of JavaScript in the code of your website and all links to items or characters on Armory Light magically display a tooltip with detailed information.

Here are a few example characters for your viewing pleasure: Taim on Aegwynn (EU) or Aiyasha on Aegwynn (EU).


Heirloom Scaling Calculator

[]Heirloom Scaling Calculator

Heirloom items are a new type of items that were added to the game with Wrath of the Lich King. They are Bind to Account and can be mailed to other characters on your account, regardless of their level.

But do you want to know exactly what stats an item would have for your level 29 twink? Or whether you should buy your level 56 druid that nice staff for leveling? It's easy! Just use our Heirloom Scaling Calculator to find out the stats of an item for any level. Use the slider in the item description, and the stats update instantly!

Our scaling calculator is also built into the regular item pages of all World of Warcraft heirloom items. You could, for example, visit the detail page for the Bloodied Arcanite Reaper, set the slider to the desired level, and instantly see the updated stats of the item!


Greasemonkey Script

[]Install armorylight-v13.user.js

If you you're browsing the web and find links to WoW Armory Profiles, don't you sometimes wish those links would rather point to Armory Light? Here's the solution!

We're providing a Greasemonkey script (also known as Userscript) that automatically modifies all WoW Armory profiles you come across so they point to the respective Armory Light profile instead.

Greasemonkey scripts are traditionally developed for the Firefox extension 'Greasemonkey' but there are equivalents to Greasemonkey for almost all other browsers available.

  • Firefox and other Mozilla based browsers
    The Firefox extension 'Greasemonkey' is also available for Flock and Epiphany. There are also custom versions for SeaMonkey and Songbird.
  • Opera
    Version 8 and upwards of Opera also have user scripting functionality. Opera is capable of running many Greasemonkey user scripts.
  • Safari
    GreaseKit and PithHelmet (shareware) are similar tools for the Mac OS version of the Safari browser, along with other WebKit based applications such as MailPlane.
  • Internet Explorer
    For Internet Explorer, similar function is offered by IE7pro, iMacros, Trixie, Turnabout and Greasemonkey for IE.
  • Google Chrome
    As of November 200, there is only limited support for Greasemonkey scripts in the Chrome beta. Additional functionality is provided for example by Greasemetal.
  • ... other browsers
    Please refer to the Wikipedia article on Greasemonkey or your favourite web search engine for compatibility with other browsers.

YubNub Command

[]Use 'alight' on YubNub

We created an Armory Light command for our YubNub users: 'alight'. We even got awarded a YubNub Golden Egg for the command!

Here is how you use the command:

Search armory-light.com for your or your friends characters.

Usage:
  * 'alight' takes you to our home page
  * 'alight <char name>' searches for the character
  * Specify a region like this: '-region us'
  * Specify a realm like this: '-realm Aegwynn' or '-r Aegwynn'
  Both the region and realm can be left blank.
  If you leave the realm blank, it searches for the character
  in the given region.

Examples:
  * alight Mizzrym -region eu -realm Aegwynn (goes to a profile page)
  * alight Seferis -region eu (searches for Seferis in EU)
  * alight Phiola -r Aegwynn (goes to a profile on EU-Aegwynn)
