    Early in the week, we profiled some new features at WoW Digger. The item database site is expanding into quest and faction tracking as well as equipment comparison and wishlists. Until now, getting your character set up on their site required installing their executable program. With all the keylogger activity of late, many interested players were wary of running any executable on their machine.WoW Digger has come through with a non-executable method of getting your character info into their system. When you create an account on the site, you can tell it to pull your profile off of the Armory instead. Then you can go crazy with the equipment comparison.This method, however, won't collect your current quest list or track your faction levels. And those two features are the two I enjoy the most. I personally feel this site is legitimate and will be using their executable to get the most out of it.

    Since we last profiled the database site, WoWDigger.com, it has evolved into more than just a WoWHead clone. I found new functions that were helpful in planning my online activities.Using their downloadable client, you can create an Armory-like page of your character on the site. Then you can create a Wishlist duplicate template of your equipped gear and swap in pieces that you want to acquire to see exactly how it affects your stats, resists, damage ratios, mp5, crit chance, defense, etc. Great for planning on how to get that last bit of resilience to hit the cap or balancing your +heal and +spell damage.Another function I like is the personalized quest page. You now have an offline list of all the quests in your quest log. Plan your next step to complete the quest and read up on any strats you'll need to know beforehand. Also, the site tracks all your reputation gains so you'll know how close you are to the next rep level for every faction in the game.If you're like me and enjoy extensive planning and researching offline, I recommend checking out the latest improvements to WoWDigger. With CTProfiles down for now, its a great alternative. If anyone knows of other sites that provide similar services, feel free to list them in the comments.
