Contribute with confidence

Supported game data is selected on your device. Account paths, character profiles and unrelated settings are excluded.

Submitted files stay private. Only reviewed or validated game data reaches the public archive.

What is useful?

Seven game-query WDB cache types, mob observations, gather locations, auction prices, AIO addon data, CoA events and WildcardHarvest references, plus CoAReader class trees and AscensionHarvest game references for automatic preservation. Mail caches and unrelated Account files are excluded.

Supported Account files

MobSpells, GatherMate2, Auctionator_Price_Database, AIO_Client, CoASniff, WildcardHarvest, Ascension_CoAReader and AscensionHarvest Lua files, including .lua.bak backups.

CoAReader contributes class-tree references. AscensionHarvest contributes item, quest and spell references. These two formats are privacy-filtered and preserved automatically as deduplicated reference snapshots. Conflicting snapshots are kept separately. UI settings, chat, guild messages and personal character data are excluded.

Where are my folders?

Inside your game installation, look for Cache → WDB and WTF → Account. Close the game before selecting them so the latest data is saved. You choose what the browser can read.

Privacy and retention

Filtering reduces personal data before upload. It cannot guarantee that every free-text field is anonymous. The server validates again, and the consolidator checks publication. Unfinished submissions and review copies are retained until resolved. Published upload copies are removed after processing; abandoned uploads expire after seven days. Accepted game data is retained for preservation, including in the consolidator and published dataset. No original folder paths or account names are sent as metadata.
