Data sources

Blizzard Entertainment – Battle.net API

• Used for: character data (level, class, specs, equipped gear, completed quests), item data and stats, quests with rewards, rulesets; item icons and character renders.
• Access: official API at https://develop.battle.net (client credentials, server-side only). Images are not copied: the browser loads them from Blizzard's servers (render.worldofwarcraft.com).
• Terms: game and character data © Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. Used under the Blizzard Developer API Terms of Use (linked from https://develop.battle.net). Cached profile data is kept for at most 30 days.
• Credit text: "Game data, icons and character renders © Blizzard Entertainment, via the Battle.net API."

Blizzard Entertainment – login screen animation

• Used for: the looping background video of the start page (public/login-bg.mp4).
• Access: re-encoded for the web (no audio, with FFmpeg) from the recording "World of Warcraft Original Login Screen Background Animation" by Linean (YouTube).
• Terms: © Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. Not covered by the API terms; used non-commercially under the Blizzard Legal FAQ ("Can I use Blizzard Entertainment's images, text or sound on my web page?": yes, non-commercial, with all copyright notices, license revocable at any time), https://www.blizzard.com/en-us/legal/c1ae32ac-7ff9-4ac3-a03b-fc04b8697010/blizzard-legal-faq. Removed if Blizzard asks.
• Credit text: "Login screen animation © Blizzard Entertainment."

Blizzard Entertainment – Armory race backgrounds

• Used for: the background behind the character render on the character sheet, one per race, as on the WoW Armory. Can be hidden with the footer toggle.
• Access: not copied and not fetched by the app's server: the browser loads them from render.worldofwarcraft.com/profile-backgrounds/v2/. The file names were looked up by hand on the Armory page (2026-11-12); they are not part of the API.
• Terms: © Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. Not covered by the API terms; used non-commercially under the Blizzard Legal FAQ, like the login screen animation above. Removed if Blizzard asks.
• Credit text: "Armory race backgrounds © Blizzard Entertainment."

Blizzard Entertainment – World of Warcraft logo

• Used for: the small icon on the character sheet's "Armory" button, and as the model for the app's favicon.
• Access: the button icon is not copied: the browser loads the Armory's favicon from assets-bwa.worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/static/. The file name was looked up by hand on the Armory page (2026-11-12). The favicon (public/favicon-*.png) is an adaptation of the logo with "FU" in place of the W (2026-11-13).
• Terms: © Blizzard Entertainment, Inc.; World of Warcraft is a trademark of Blizzard Entertainment. Used non-commercially under the Blizzard Legal FAQ, like the assets above. Removed if Blizzard asks.

Everloot

• Used for: drop rates of trash and world drops (which NPC or object drops an item, kills, drops, rate).
• Access: public API at https://everloot.app/docs/api (free API key).
• Terms: data under CC BY-SA 4.0, credit "Everloot contributors". ShareAlike: drop data we pass on (e.g. shown or exported) stays under CC BY-SA 4.0.
• Credit text: "Drop data from Everloot (https://everloot.app), Everloot contributors, CC BY-SA 4.0."

Forever Companion

• Used for: dungeon loot with the boss that drops it, dungeon and group quests, rare mobs, zones, and stats of items the Battle.net API does not return (most dungeon loot).
• Access: public API at https://forevercompanion.io/developers (no key).
• Terms: no formal license; the project asks for a link back. Its data is gathered from ForeverChanges, Wowhead and Zockify and checked in game by players.
• Credit text: "Dungeon, rare and item data from Forever Companion (https://forevercompanion.io), gathered from ForeverChanges, Wowhead and Zockify."

QuestieDB

• Used for: quest chains and prerequisite quests, quest givers and turn-in NPCs, NPC zones, levels and coordinates, vendors per item, German names of NPCs, objects, quests and items, and where herb nodes and ore veins are (object spawn points per zone).
• Access: release ZIP (QuestieDB-…-Forever.zip) from https://github.com/Questie/QuestieDB.
• Terms: used under the GPLv3 terms the Questie team accepts for copies of QuestieDB content (see its LICENSE.md). The data originates from Questie and its contributors. The Questie name and logo are not used for this project.
• Credit text: "Quest and NPC data from QuestieDB (https://github.com/Questie/QuestieDB) by the Questie team and contributors, GPLv3."

Wowhead

• Used for: links to item, quest and NPC pages (incl. their maps) and the hover tooltips (German or English, following the interface language) via Wowhead's embeddable tooltip script. The profession leveling paths follow Wowhead's Forever profession leveling guides ("Tried & Tested in Forever"): skill ranges, craft counts, colour thresholds and ranks were read by hand; each path links its guide. The skill thresholds of herb nodes and ore veins come from Wowhead's Forever overview guides of Herbalism and Mining, read the same way and linked there. The stat values of a few dungeon items that no other source has values for (29 items on 2026-11-13, listed in server/import/overrides/item-stats.json) were read by hand from the items' Wowhead Forever pages; the app marks them as "Stat values: Wowhead, looked up by hand". No other Wowhead data is copied or stored.
• Access: links and the official tooltip script https://wow.zamimg.com/js/tooltips.js only (works for /forever/ links, checked 2026-11-12); no scraping. The guides are read by a person in a browser, never by code.
• Credit text: "Tooltips and links by Wowhead (https://www.wowhead.com/forever). Profession leveling paths and gathering skill thresholds based on the Wowhead Forever profession guides. Stat values of some dungeon items looked up on Wowhead."
