In the quest to improve, I went online and signed up for a WWS account. I'm not that tech savvy and the instructions just say to upload a wowcombatlog from your hard drive.

Can someone be more specific with how and where these files are?

I tried search for files and looked in the wow main folder...nothing.

Thank you

1) You should create a free account.

2) click on the client link at the top left of the wws homepage. this will launch a java app. you need java

3) The app will have an option to select a log. do so.

4) click the button that says host the log.

5) done.

Let me say that I'm about to start recording because two people who did in the past have left my guild, so I have no personal experience with this. I've tried to find out what I can and am wondering, don't you have to type /combatlog to start recording and then type it again to stop recording? And then the log is stored in the wow\log folder?

If so, would the procedure then be (1) record [/combatlog], (2) stop recording [/combatlog], (3) use the java app to select the wow\log\combatlog file in the WoW log folder, and (4) tell the java app to upload to the WWS website?

I've also seen some people write that you should modify the wts folder to set the range to 200 yards so you get the best data. Is that as easy to do as it sounds?

Thanks for the help.

I don’t know why they put this on a different page but there is another important step that took me some searching to figure out.

On their WoW Combat Log page they write:

“Start World of Warcraft and enter the game. At the beginning of the raid, dungeon or solo testing session you want to create a report for, type /combatlog into the chat box, you should get a response saying "Combat being logged to Logs/WoWCombatlog.txt". When you're done with the raid, dungeon or solo testing session type /combatlog again. You'll get another response saying "Combat logging disabled". Log out of WoW and your combat log should be in the /World of Warcraft/Logs/ folder.”

oh yeah, type /combatlog to start and stop it. delete the log when you've uploaded it, so you can start a fresh one when you want.

The range changing is easy, there'll be instructions on the site.
