Context

Blizzard release in summer 2023 MOP Remix, it consist of a speed up experience of the 4th World Of Warcraft extension Mist of Pandaria. During the 3 month of the experience player will be able to collect over 500 collectibles. Some already accessible like achievements, tier sets, but also brand new collectibles like mounts, unreleased weapon appearance etc..

Knowing exactly what you’ve collected and what you still have to farm was not the easiest with over 500 unique collectible to track. Some people created google sheet document allowing you to check what you’ve collected and what you didn’t, but it felt unpractical and teadious.

This is where we looked in the official Blizzard API and figure out we could automate the tracking process. Wowchievement was born.

Goal

The original goal was to give an easy to use tool to track MOP Remix collectibles.

Seeing the interest around the tool we quickly added the War Within prepatch event.

In order to keep the tool relevant we then moove to reward tracking with the main TWW renown. Allowing player to check what ingame activity they can complete in order to improve their renown.

Tech stack

On the backend we have a GO API that fetch data from the official Blizzard API. The API compute this data in order to properly display the information to the user.

Frontend is done in Vue Js with NaiveUI.

We use Github action to make docker images stored on dockerhub. Then we deploy it on our kubernetes cluster.

Future

We plan on continuing supporting new events like remix, anniversary etc…

In the near future we plan to rework renown tracking in order to be able to track older renown and rep. This will take time to support all of them as their is a lot of content to go through.

We have a lot of other idea around tracking achievement and collectibles.
