For officers and guild leaders

Access by rank

Setting up a new guild?The guild setup page covers all of this step by step and gives you one code to paste with /wc setup. In game, Guild > Setup has the same checklist, and Copy this guild's setup gives you your current setup as a code.

Guild > Access shows who may use Warchest, who has officer tools and who sees chat history. Its Access & ranks button (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.
  • Who sees guild and officer chat history is chosen separately, per channel, with Who can see on the same page.

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 needsRequests > Guild needs > New needItem, amount, due date, note, who to deliver to. Members see a progress bar of what the collector has received since the need was posted (or what the guild vault gained), and Help fills in a mail to the collector with what they carry attached, up to what's still missing. Announce posts it in guild chat.
Stock alertsNeeds tab > Stock alertGet alerted when guild bank characters hold less than a minimum.
Scheduling a raidRaid tab > Schedule raidRaid, day and time; optionally the minimum level and 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.
Raid toolsRaid tabLock and size soft reserves, run loot points (award, spend, automatic awards), check buffs at ready checks: see Reserves, points and readiness.
Events and pollsTogether tabSchedule events and contests, ask the guild in a poll, post them and their results: see Together.
Chat historyTogether > Chat, or Guild > AccessCatch-ups are on by default (guild chat for every rank that may use Warchest, officer chat for officer ranks); change the ranks per channel, turn one off, or go back to the default: see Chat history.
Guild vault toolsVault tabTab rules and tidying, drives, loans, work orders, raid kits, the repair budget, reports and withdrawal alerts: see Running the vault.
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.

Recruiting on the guild portal

On the guild portal, the guild's Recruiting tab puts your guild in the guild finder: the classes and roles you need, raid times (players see them in their own time zone), your focus, loot system and a short pitch. Under it, the finder shows numbers from your own uploads (bosses killed, raid nights this month, active members), so keep uploading.

Players apply in a few clicks, or post that they're looking so your recruiters can reach out. You talk on the portal: accept, decline with a note, or reply, and the portal gives you the /ginvite to use in game. The guild master chooses which ranks may recruit (Settings > What each role may do).

Posts to your Discord

In the portal's Settings, paste a Discord webhook (Server Settings > Integrations > Webhooks) and pick what to post. After every upload:

  • The raid recap, records and first kills
  • Guild needs and stock alerts
  • Who joined and who left
  • A weekly summary with the leaderboard leaders
  • New applications, for your recruiters

Recaps can leave out everyone's numbers. Mentions are always off, and the same raid night is posted once however many officers upload.

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!

    More boards in the Stats tab

    These five helper boards also appear in the Stats tab's Guild spirit page, next to 39 more: see Stats.

    Rather not be listed?

    Settings > Notifications & look: untick Show me on the guild leaderboards. It applies to all your characters.
