Rank access, the officer tools, and the leaderboards that thank the guild's most helpful members.

For officers and guild leaders

Access by rank

Guild tab > Access & ranks (or /wc access) lists your guild's real rank names, custom ones included, with Can use and Officer tools checkboxes. Saving writes one line into the Guild Info text. Every member's add-on reads that same line, so every client enforces the same rule:

  • Nothing is accepted from, about, or sent to excluded characters, and data already held about them is dropped.
  • An excluded player's add-on stays idle with a short explanation; their own item finder still works.
  • Alts follow their main's rank: a low-rank alt of an included member is included.
  • Only the Guild Master, or an officer allowed to edit the Guild Info, can change it.

Try it: tick ranks on the right and watch the line the add-on would write.

Rule line builder

Warchest: officers=0,1 alts=1

Rank 0 (Guild Master) is always included and always an officer. Private mode whispers guild data only to included members instead of using the guild channel.

Officer toolWhereWhat it does
Guild needsNeeds tab > New needItem, amount, due date, note, who to deliver to. Members see a progress bar counting everything held across the guild, and I can help fills in a mail to the collector. Announce posts it in guild chat.
Stock alertsNeeds tab > Stock alertGet alerted when guild bank characters hold less than a minimum.
Raid prep checklistRaid tab > Edit checklistRaid, start time, minimum level, items per raider. Follows the guild calendar on its own.
Loot notesGear tab > item > Loot note"Reserved for tanks" on everyone's tooltip for that item.
Guild bank charactersGuild tab > Bank charLabels them for everyone and turns on their deposit and withdrawal history (History tab).
Bank approvalsAccess & ranks (optional)Requests to bank characters wait in the Requests tab until an officer approves or declines.
Guild healthGuild > HealthAdd-on adoption, members inactive 14+ days, who can craft each raid item, profession gaps, cooldowns.
Purge and linksGuild tab, /wc linkRemove a leaver's data guild-wide; fix an alt link.
Export CSVGuild tab > Export CSVGuild totals, holdings, my items, sign-ups, loot, inactive members, attendance and helpers, ready for a spreadsheet.

Board entries carry their own version, so two officers editing different things never clash. Members only accept board data sent by an officer.

Leaderboards and Guild heroes

Guild tab, Leaderboards: five boards side by side

    Nobody can pad their score

    Credit always comes from the person who received the help, never from the helper:

    • A filled request or craft is credited by the requester's add-on, when the holder marks it sent or when the requester takes the item out of the mail.
    • A guild bank deposit is credited by the bank character's add-on when it takes the mail: one point per stack. Auction house, COD and returned mail don't count.
    • Raid attendance comes from officers in the raid.
    • PvP kills come from the game's own honorable-kill counter, sampled once a day.

    Your own characters helping each other doesn't count, and one person's credit to another is capped per day.

    Guild heroes on Home

    Once your Getting started card is complete, its place on Home goes to Guild heroes: this week's top helper on each board, and your own best placement.

    Thank them out loud

    Officers' Announce posts one line in guild chat:

    [Guild] [Aria]: Guild heroes this week: Bank Mira Vex (34 stacks) · Helpful Brin Coffers (9 requests) · Crafter Thrall Stormborn (6 crafts) · Raider Aria Dawnfall (3 raids) · Slayer Grak Bonecrusher (87 kills). Thank you!
