Warcraft Logs: Sepulcher of the First Ones Update
Welcome back to Warcraft Logs for the release of the last World of Warcraft: Shadowlands patch, Eternity's End. This article will go through some of the major changes to our site in the past few months to update you on what you might've missed out on as a returning user.
As our team has grown over the past year, we have more time to dedicate to developing new features such as recruitment, character page customization, tools for the RWF and guilds progressing through the raids, the Companion App, and supporting our other websites Wipefest and WoWAnalyzer. It is a joy to be able to build a team of great people to make these tools for the WoW community.
Updates
Recruitment
We have recently released updates to our recruitment feature, with notable additions such as Guild Looking For Player, Sort by Recently Updated, filters, and an updated schedule picker. Test it out and let us know what you think on Discord.
If you are looking for a new tank, DPS, or healer, or maybe a new guild to progress through Sepulcher of the First Ones with, check out Warcraft Logs Recruitment!
Read more about the improvements made to our recruitment feature and get help on how to use it in our Recruitment Improvements article.
Subscription Features
Subscribed users can now customize their character pages by setting a banner. You can view all the options and the other rewards on our Subscription page. Users may select an image for each individual character, allowing flexible customization to match each toon!

Race to World First Plans
As always, we are incredibly excited for the Race to World First in Sepulcher of the First Ones. We are partnering with some of your favorite top guilds to feature them on the front page, and updating our RWF coverage pages with new features and even more graphs for viewers to enjoy.
Developing tools for both the competing guilds to use and for you as the viewer to enjoy has been a priority for us this year. We are looking forward to seeing what you all think about our new features for the Race to World First, such as our new Leaderboard, which will now update based on best boss health %. (E.g. Guild A kills Boss 3 before Guild B, but if Guild B is further % wise on Boss 4, they will show above Guild A).
Stay tuned this coming week for more information about our RWF coverage.
Revamped Casts - Events View
We have revamped the look of the Casts -> Events view. This allows you to easier look at rotations and more.
Updated Resources - Hit Points View
We have implemented some of the same changes to the Resources - Hit Points view. This now shows all damage, healing, absorbs and deaths for any player at any time. Additionally, major hits (>20% of your HP) is shown with a red background.
Unit Frames in Events View
We have also added Unit Frames to the Events view, which shows the target health bar.
Companion App
About 6 months ago, we released the Warcraft Logs Companion App out of beta. For those who are unfamiliar with it, the Warcraft Logs Companion App allows you to upload combat logs in game, either live during play or after a dungeon/raid, and then lets you view and analyze your reports directly through the in-game overlay or the desktop application. You can also navigate through logs the same way you would on the site.
The Companion also includes features such as 'Call a Wipe', which allows you to hotkey and send the log up for immediate processing and review. You'll be able to see exactly where the wipe was called in the log report, and even ignore all the data that occurred after the wipe was called.
We also have Group Finder Support, which allows you to easily check out the logs of the players signing up to your group.
You can get the Companion, or our other Uploader, on our Client Download page.
Wipefest / WoWAnalyzer
We are happy to say Wipefest will be up to date for the first 8 bosses with the patch release, and we hope this will help your guild progress through Sepulcher of the First Ones. The remaining bosses will be added as soon as possible once they are released.
Join the Wipefest Discord to stay updated and let us know your thoughts!
WoWAnalyzer is a great tool to help you analyze and improve your own performance using Warcraft Logs. It gives detailed insight into various things such as cast behavior, buff uptime, downtime, cooldown usage, wasted resources and more. The tool also gives insight into useful and interesting statistics such as the throughput gain from your talents, trinkets, traits, set bonuses, and other special items and effects.
It is an open-source project that relies on community contributors for spec-specific implementations, but we are making progress on supporting more specs for 9.2. Join the WoWAnalyzer Discord for updates and information on the progress.
