How Your Data Stays Fresh
What "Updated 9h ago" really means: where your roster's gear, M+, and raid data come from, and how to tell at a glance how current it is.
What "Updated 9h ago" Means
All over your Group Hub, next to a character or a whole report, you'll see a small clock and a line like "Updated 9h ago." It's telling you how recently we pulled that character's data, so you always know how much to trust what's on screen before you pull.
The short version: your roster keeps itself current in the background. You don't refresh anything by hand for it to stay useful, and the raiders you actually pull with stay the most up to date.
Two Streams, Two Sources
A character isn't one single fact. Two different things keep it current, and they update on their own schedules, so we show them separately.
| Stream | What it covers | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Gear & character | Equipped gear and item level, enchants and gems, Great Vault, professions | Blizzard |
| M+ & progress | Mythic+ rating, best keys, raid kill progress | Raider.io |
We're grateful to Raider.io for the Mythic+ and progression data that powers a huge part of the Roster Report. Pull a character's freshness tooltip anywhere and you'll see both lines, each credited to where it came from.
There's a third source too: what actually happened on your raid nights. That comes from Warcraft Logs: your real pulls, kills, wipes, and who showed up. It's how your attendance and progress reflect the night you actually had, not just what people signed up for.
Reading the Freshness Colors
The little clock changes color so you can read freshness without doing the math:
- 🟢 Green: fully current. Gear and everything else was updated within the last day.
- 🔵 Blue: M+ and rating are current; the gear read is a little older.
- 🟡 Amber: a few days old. Still useful, just not last night's picture.
- 🔴 Red: it's been a while. Worth a refresh before you lean on it.
The same colors show up on the Data tab of your Roster Report, where you can see your whole roster's freshness at a glance: the average, the oldest, and the most recent for each stream, plus who's due for a refresh.
Your Raid Logs
We pull your real raid nights from Warcraft Logs so attendance, pulls, and clear progress stay current after you raid. Supporters unlock more frequent log refreshes for the whole group, so the picture updates sooner after each night.
Roster on the front of the line
Raiders you've rostered refresh the most often, so the people you pull with are always the most current. Adding your team to the roster is the single best way to keep your data fresh.
