Gear Wishlist: About and Contact

Gear-wishlist started as a tool to help me choose badge items in the Burning Crusade. I wanted to get the most "bang for the badge" as well as upgrade slots that didn't have comparable items from my available raid content. These days it serves as a fun coding time-sink when I should be doing other things.

The various ranking sites and the theorycrafters inspiring them provide the real meat here, kudos to them!

FAQ

Why is item X ranked above clearly superior item Y?

The rankings come directly from other sites, please check and contact the ranking site(s).

Can I add this to my guild site?

Yes, sort of. Gear-wishlist has a large offline component that crawls ranking sites to create and update summaries, and the data model is based on the AppEngine data store instead of the traditional SQL backend most guild sites use. Instead of replicating the application I recommend adding a form on your site to direct users to this one:

<FORM ACTION="http://gear-wishlist.appspot.com/wishlist" METHOD="get" ACCEPT-CHARSET="utf-8">
  Character:&nbsp;<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="character" VALUE="" SIZE=12 MAXLENGTH=50>&nbsp;&nbsp;
  Realm:&nbsp;<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="realm" VALUE="" SIZE=12 MAXLENGTH=50>
  <SELECT NAME="region">
    <OPTION VALUE="us" SELECTED>US</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE="eu"EU</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE="cn"CN</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE="kr"KR</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE="tw"TW</OPTION>
  </SELECT>&nbsp;&nbsp;
  Ranking:&nbsp;<SELECT NAME="site">
  <OPTION VALUE="Wowhead" SELECTED >Wowhead</OPTION>
  <OPTION VALUE="Lootrank"Lootrank</OPTION>
  <OPTION VALUE="MaxDPS"MaxDPS</OPTION>
  <OPTION VALUE="[Item Level]"[Item Level]</OPTION>
  </SELECT>&nbsp;&nbsp;
  <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Get wishlist">
