Using WoWidget

Character Selection

Find a World of Warcraft character, verify the returned profile, and choose which character WoWidget sends to Discord.

Character lookupRegion, realm, and name required
1

Search for a character

Open the character-selection screen and enter the character's region, realm, and name exactly as they appear in World of Warcraft. Select Search to request the profile from Blizzard.

Region Choose the account region

Select the region where the character exists, such as Americas, Europe, Korea, or Taiwan.

Realm Use the full realm name

Spaces and punctuation are normalized automatically, but the selected region must still be correct.

Character Enter the character name

Capitalization is not important. Special characters must match the in-game name.

2

Verify the returned profile

Before selecting the character, review the summary returned by WoWidget. The name alone is not enough when similarly named characters exist on multiple realms.

Name and realmConfirm both values belong to the intended character.

Race and classCheck that the returned identity matches the in-game character.

Guild and levelUse these as additional confirmation when available.

Character portraitThe Blizzard render should resemble the selected character, though it may reflect Outfit Slot 1.

Select or switch characters

Select Use this Character after verifying the result. WoWidget stores the selection locally and uses it for portrait generation, data refreshes, and future Discord widget updates.
