New Site Features: Item Finder, Improved Search Results, More Maps and Fishing Pools
Today we're taking a look at some of the projects the Wowhead team has recently finished! With a complimentary Level 90 boost in Warlords of Draenor and the
options to purchase additional Level 90 Character Boosts
, we want to make Wowhead as welcoming as possible for new players.

Item Finder
We have a lot of advanced filters and data on Wowhead, but want to make the database accessible to new players as well! Our new
Item Finder
tool breaks down some of the most popular filters for Gear, Consumables, Professions, and Mounts with a user-friendly interface.
For Gear, just choose your level, item slot, class or specialization, then hit Find Equipment.
For Consumables, Glyphs, and other character enhancements, selecting your level and class or specialization will return appropriate results as well.
For Professions, choose a Profession and then select what type of item you

New Hearthhead Feature: Card Collection Tool
We're celebrating Hearthstone's Open Beta with a new feature--the
Card Collection
tool! This tool lets you save your card collection on
Hearthhead
to create personalized search results, tooltips, and guide suggestions.
Deck guides
have a new "Cards in My Collection" filter. Find guides containing all cards in your collection, or guides that only require you to craft a few additional cards.
You can also use the "Cards in My Collection" filter in our
card database
to narrow results further.
Search results now have a "My Collection" column showing how many normal and golden cards you have.
On card pages, Quick Facts show which cards you've collected.
Card tooltips now show if a card is in your collection.
To get started, just go to
My Collection
from the Tools menu on Hearthhead.
Move the sliders by the hero portraits to automatically generate a list of basic cards in your collection.[/

Site Improvements: Zones, Image Sorting, Item Enhancements, Page Browsing
2014 has just started and we've already got some site improvements in place we want to share! We've been tweaking some of our current tools these past few weeks to give you a more user-friendly experience here at Wowhead, ranging from image filters to a new way to browse search results.
For a complete list of site developments, check out our

Our popular image galleries for transmog sets, battle pets, and Hearthhead cards can now be sorted! Click on the sort options at the top left of the gallery to check it out.

Improved Page Browsing
We've added an alternate way to browse search results on Wowhead. If you get a list of results back and don't want to keep returning to that page, you can simply click on an item and then move back and forth between results using the red arrow buttons at the top right. The Up button will take you

New Site Feature: Tablet-Friendly Wowhead and Hearthhead
We're always striving to improve the Wowhead browsing experience and today we have a big feature to share with you--
Wowhead
and
Hearthhead
are now optimized for tablet devices!
Our tablet version has all the same content as regular
Wowhead
and
Hearthhead
, just much more touchscreen-friendly. We've made improvements like redesigned page layouts and a new menu and tab system for easier navigation.
Whether you're looking forward to playing Hearthstone on your tablet or are farming in WoW and don't want to alt-tab to look something up, our optimized sites will make finding what you need even faster when you're on a tablet.
We also wanted to mention that we know a lot of users have also been asking for a smartphone version of our websites--and we haven't forgotten about that. Hearthstone is very tablet-orientated though and we wanted to test out responsiveness on
Hearthhead
at first--smartphones could always be down the line.

Wowhead Server Migration Complete
We had some site downtime today and we wanted to share with everyone why that was--and don't worry, it's good news!
In short, we have just completed migrating servers and getting Wowhead stabilized on its new home. This change will allow us to have better uptime, faster load times, and allow us to create more awesome features in the future.
It will also fix a couple of notorious issues people have been having with our site. Many of you probably remember an issue where pages were not loading correctly. While we fixed it for many people, it was a reoccurring problem for a few regions despite our best efforts. You'll be relieved to hear that this should be fixed by our server migration.
The next few hours are crucial for us so be sure to report any issues you find in the comments here so we can investigate them thoroughly. Moving a site as huge as Wowhead is not without its difficulties, but this will alleviate the server issues we've been having over the past month and bring greater stability to our users in the future. Thanks for your patience, you guys!
