Hello everyone.

I started Masked Armory back in 2007 when the solutions that were out at that time were very slow and didn't get a very good picture of the character/account you were trying to sell (WoWArmory.com and Armoryx come to mind). Fast-forward 11 years later and Masked Armory has gone through many revisions to make sure that the application is as blazing fast as possible.

The new Masked Armory that you will find at https://www.[dead website] has been rewritten from the ground up using NodeJS on the backend and React on the frontend. I personally have hand-coded all of this and am really proud of the speed of everything.

Highlights:

- Site is now 100% responsive and has mobile tooltip popups for all of the character items.
- Items will show the proper enchants, gems, azerite traits and ilvl on the tooltip hover.
- Focused on the Feats of Strength and Legacy achievements on the 'Achievements' pane.
- Overall speed of the site -- should take 2-3 seconds to create and completely render out the new armory. Loading an existing armory should take under 1 second.

Future Enhancements:

- Adding Progress tab that will track raid progress and RBG / Arena ratings.
- Moving the entire application to be SSR (server-side rendered).
- Adding search for titles, mounts, and pets.
- Create an image proxy for all images (character background image, mounts, pets) to help with rendering time.

Known Bugs:

None

All old Legion armories are now being forwarded to the new MA. Had to do some work to get the old achievement scheme to fit in with the rewrite, but all should be well now!

There is no need to create a new armory for your old legion profile as everything should forward on properly.
 
Mobile item tooltips are now working (has been tested on all mobile browsers)! All you have to do is simply tap the item on the armory and you will get the tooltip popup.

Please let me know if you run into any issues with this!
 
This is honestly incredibly impressive. The speed in which you have achieved everything to work is amazing. Design is sick as well. Very well done, kudos to you. Best hidden armory in the game.
 
Masked Armory has been updated for Patch 7.1! Please let me know if there are any issues.
