Season of Discovery Phase 2 will go live later today at 1 PM Pacific time. There will be many new items, spells, quests, NPC's, and other fun surprises in store for players, and for us to include this in to the Wowhead Database, we'll need player help!
Wowhead has a little addon tool that you can install along with your addons:
Wowhead Client / Wowhead Looter
What this does is keep track of what you encounter and loot as you play the game.
You can then upload all of that information to our database, allowing us to see where particular items dropped for you. Click the link above for more information.
Compiling your data with the data from everyone else who uploads their findings allows us to build additional information into our database.
This leads to us being able to see not just where you got a particular item, but where everyone else found it as well, and what the drop rate might be. We then get a good picture of which bosses, for example, might drop a particular piece of loot, and how rare that drop might be.
The more data we get, the more accurate these statistics. Using this data we can then share useful information through news articles and guides like these.
Phase 2 Overview
If you are not already using Wowhead Looter, please consider giving it a go. And if you already are, thank you! This site really is a community effort.
