Frequently asked questions

Yes. You log in on Blizzard's own website (battle.net), never on Tabard. Tabard never sees your password. With your permission, Blizzard only tells it which WoW characters you have. You can disconnect Tabard any time in your Battle.net account settings under Connections.

• Log out of the game first. Blizzard updates characters when you log out.
• Blizzard only lists characters from level 10.
• Keep both boxes ticked when Battle.net asks what to share. If the World of Warcraft profile box was unticked, the result page has two buttons: Battle.net Connections (remove Tabard there, so Battle.net asks again) and Try again.
• Use the right Battle.net account. If you have more than one, log out at battle.net first, then log in with the one that has your guild characters. The result page lists the characters Blizzard sent, so you can check.
• Right region. A guild on European realms needs your European characters, and the same for the Americas, Korea and Taiwan.
• Blizzard can be up to an hour behind the game. Wait a bit and press Verify again.
• Still stuck an hour after your first try? Press Verify with Battle.net again: you'll also get an Ask an officer button so an officer can approve you by hand.

Log out of the game, wait a few minutes and press Verify with Battle.net again. Your guest role is swapped for the member role.

Use /main. Your nickname and class role follow your main.

Only characters that are in a connected guild, your choices (main, raid role, signups), attendance, and a scrambled version of your Battle.net account ID. Never your BattleTag, email, password or login tokens. /forgetme deletes all of it at once. Details: Privacy Policy.

Yes, for officers. Open the dashboard and log in with Discord. You'll see every server where Tabard is installed and you're an officer: guild sync status, the whole guild roster with who's in Discord (search by character or Discord name, and filter to who's missing), upcoming events and attendance. People with Manage Server can also change most settings there, on each server's Settings page. Tabard only sees your Discord name and server list. The login lasts up to 4 hours (or until you log out), and nothing else from it is kept.

Just press Verify with Battle.net on your new Discord account. Logging in proves the Battle.net account is yours. If the old Discord account was deleted, your verification moves over automatically. If the old account still exists (say you lost access to it), you get a Move it to this Discord account button; press it, then verify once more to link your characters.

Usually not. Once you've verified with Battle.net, every server that uses Tabard recognizes your characters. If a server connects a guild in a different game version, press Verify there once.

Retail, Mists of Pandaria Classic, Classic Era / Hardcore, Classic Anniversary and WoW: Forever, in the Americas, Europe, Korea and Taiwan. China is not supported.

No. Tabard is free. It's in a closed beta right now: request access.

Tabard is being tested with a small group of guilds so problems are found and fixed before it opens to everyone. Fill in the beta request form with your server ID; we'll message you on Discord with the install link once it's approved. If Tabard is added to a server that isn't approved yet, it stays with its commands switched off (each command says why) and changes nothing. Once you're approved, it switches on by itself.

Yes, up to 10, even across game versions. Run /setup guild add for each one. /setup guild role can give each guild its own extra role.

• Check the spelling of the guild name, and the realm (not needed on WoW: Forever).
• Blizzard only lists a guild after a member has logged out recently, and on WoW: Forever only characters from level 10.

In Server Settings → Roles, drag Tabard's role above the roles it hands out. Then run /setup status: if a permission is missing, it shows a one-click Fix permissions link that updates the bot without re-adding it.

Yes. Tabard notices, removes their guest role, and remembers it was given by hand so the roster sync won't take it away. If you remove the member role by hand later, Tabard goes back to managing it.

An officer types /event create in the channel where it should go. Tabard's event screen opens right inside Discord:

1. What kind? Raid, Dungeon (Dungeon / Mythic+ on Retail), PvP or Social.
2. Which one? Tap a raid, dungeon or battleground from your guild's game version, and the difficulty, or type a name.
3. When? Tap one of the next 8 days, or Other date for a calendar, then a time (or Other time). It's in your own time zone, and everyone sees it in theirs.
4. Who do you need? Tanks, healers, melee and ranged with + and −, filled in for the raid you picked.
5. Details, Repeat every week and Save for next time, then Post it.

A preview shows the post as you go. Later, the Edit button on the post opens the same screen to change the time, size or details (everyone signed up can be pinged about a new time), stop it repeating, move the post to another channel, or cancel it. /event cancel and deleting the post still cancel it too. Where the event screen can't open, /event create uses a short pop-up instead, and a saved raid (/event create template:) uses the older form.

Give the event a player count when you create it. Once that many people have signed up to play, the next ones go on the bench, in the order they signed up. When someone drops out, the first person on the bench moves up with the role they picked, and Tabard pings them. Members press Sign up, which opens Tabard's signup screen inside Discord, and tap the spec they'll play (talent trees on Classic Era, Anniversary and WoW: Forever), from a list of all their characters; the role (and melee or ranged) follows the spec. Remove me takes them off the signup completely. Guild members' names are shown in your member role's colour. Officers can see who missed a raid they signed up for with /event noshows, after marking people absent with /event mark.

Raid progress works for every game version; Mythic+ only exists on Retail. Turn them on with /setup announcements type:Raid progress channel:#guild-news and type:Mythic+ (Retail).

• Raid progress: when the guild kills a raid boss for the first time on a difficulty (Raid Finder doesn't count), Tabard posts the new count, like "now 5/8 Heroic" or "now 6/10 in Molten Core", and a full clear gets its own post. Kills come from Blizzard's guild news, which only lists guild groups. On Retail, bosses killed before Tabard was watching are worked out from your top-ranked members' profiles, so the first count is right. On the Classic versions and WoW: Forever, Blizzard doesn't share those profiles, so the count starts from when Tabard started watching your guild, and the post says since when. Classic raids are matched by boss name: Classic Era has the original raids, Anniversary also The Burning Crusade's, MoP Classic Mists of Pandaria's.
• Mythic+: Tabard checks members at the guild's top level 25 at each roster sync (about every hour), so in a big guild it can take a few hours to get round to everyone. It posts when someone reaches a rating milestone (1,000, 1,500, 2,000 and so on) or times a +10, +12, or +15 and up for the first time this season. The first check of a member, and the start of a new season, aren't posted.

Yes. Run /roster inactive to see members who haven't logged in for 30 days (or days: of your choice), and add weekly:True to have the list posted in your officer channel every week. You can also switch it on, and set the number of days, on the dashboard's Settings page.

• Tabard reads each character's last login from Blizzard, about 50 characters per roster sync, so the first full list takes up to a day. A Tabard Sync addon upload (/roster import) fills it in at once.
• A member only counts as away when none of their linked characters has been online, so someone playing an alt isn't listed. Guild characters nobody in Discord has linked are listed separately.
• The Remind them by DM button sends each away member one friendly message from your server. Nobody gets more than one a month, and members with closed DMs are skipped. The officer channel is told who sent them.
• It's officers only. Give it to more roles with /setup permissions.

Yes. /setup permissions lets you give single officer commands, like creating events, to more roles.

Only officer roles, Manage Server admins, and roles you allow with /setup permissions. Most replies are only visible to the person who used the command.

Tabard deletes that server's settings, rosters, events and officer-made links. Battle.net verifications stay, so members are still recognized on other servers, unless they use /forgetme.
