  • We're back with an updated set of data. more
    A lot has happened since I checked on this site last (sorry for the lack of updates). The WoW armory is now officially offline and its been replaced with with the auction API which doesnt really give me much to work with. As always, please report any problems using the email below.

  • The wow armory xml feeds are currently offline as Blizzard move to their new battle.net site. When then feeds are back up and running I hope to update the site for you, but it cant be done until that time so please bear with us. Thanks

  • Added WotLK gems. more
    Sorry for the delay in updating the gems as I had to wait for the WoW armory data to be populated correctly before I could re-import the data. I am still tweaking issues but the majority of the data is in. Please report any problems to the email at the bottom of this page.

  • Sorting is now on by default. more
    I have made the sort functionality on by default. As you add filters, the list of gems shown will be automatically sorted (highest value to lowest). As you add more filters the original sort effect will remain. To move to a new sort type just select the [sort] link next to the interested filter.

  • Changed "Hide" functionality. more
    I have made the hide functionality easier to use. All you have to do now is add the filter you want to hide, then select the [hide] link next to that filter. If you were speccing for raw damage for example, add Spell Damage, then Add Healing, then [hide] healing, just like this filter which is also sorted by Spell Damage.

  • Added "Hide" functionality. more
    This allows you to perform a filter, then hide gems that give a specific stat bonus. For example this filter shows gems that give Spell Damage, then hides all the gems that give a Healing bonus. This is great for players who are speccing for raw damage and don't care about healing.

  • Site launched!

Simply put, this site was created out of a need to find the best gems. I have searched the internet and found numerous other sites which provide a similar service. However, I've never found a fast site with all the functionality that you can find here. At the time of launch the key benefits are: stackable filters, highlighting of sub items, sorting and buyable gems. I hope you find it as useful as I do!

The site is fully database driven and the data is automatically collected and checked against the US and EU World of Warcraft Armories. That means, if new gems are discovered, they will very quickly appear here. During the development of this site, I have found a few problems with the data in the World of Warcraft Armory which are corrected automatically as the data is imported. This means that the data should be 100% accurate, but little gremlins always appear where they shouldnt, so please dont cut a gem until you have double checked it in game.

I have a few more ideas for the site yet, so please check back frequently.
