About

MistTrek is an independent collection of game databases for players who want to understand a world, not simply finish it.

The name “Trek” comes from Star Trek, a series I deeply love. It reflects the joy of exploring a world and discovering its paths, stories, and secrets.

MistTrek grows one world at a time. It is built with patience, curiosity, and care for all the games worth exploring and remembering.

I may have spent more than one thousand of hours researching WoW data on Wowhead and in AtlasLoot and Atlas, but I was not satisfied with them:

• On Wowhead, I had to open dozens of pages to collect the data I needed.
• AtlasLoot and Atlas do not provide detailed item sources, and drops are not connected to maps.

In August 2019, shortly before WoW Classic launched, I started this project.

Unlike other tools that focus on final builds, MistTrek WoW has focused on exploration and discovery from day one.

• Item sources were the first feature I released. Instead of opening many pages, you can hover over an item to see exactly where to find it.
• How can you tell whether an item is good and useful? I later added an item score with adjustable stat weights.
• Later, the classes and professions sections were completed more easily, while most collects data came from AtlasLoot.
• For maps, I developed an editor to help complete the map data.
• Correcting every item source has been a very long trek. I developed several tools for it, but this work still took half of the development time.

I'm a web developer, and this small project began in 2019.

As a developer, the most romantic thing I can imagine is building this website. It’s a place where I can put my feelings about WoW, and I hope it helps other players explore the world too.

My wife is a designer. She transformed the interface from my original “developer-style” design into what you see today.

These are some of my old friends.
