BYOG Link
Keeping a guild on the same page has never been easy. Officers juggle rosters, raid leads chase item levels, and players forget to post their keystone. BYOG Link solves that by pulling your guild's website and tools straight into the game you are already playing. It quietly records what your characters are doing while you play, and a free companion app uploads everything to your BYOGHub profile. The result is a guild that always knows who is ready for what, with zero typing required.
What BYOG Link Does for Your Guild
BYOG Link connects your World of Warcraft characters to BYOGHub, your guild's website, and brings your guild's tools into the game. While you play, the addon records what your characters are doing. BYOG Sync, the free companion app available from the Microsoft Store, uploads that data to your BYOGHub profile in the background. That means your guild sees your real item level, vault progress, and keystone without you ever typing a single word.
The addon works across nearly every era of the game. BYOG Link for World of Warcraft supports Retail, Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, and MoP, and it plays nicely alongside other popular addons. Because it writes only to the standard SavedVariables files and exposes no in-game interface of its own beyond what you open on purpose, compatibility issues are rare in practice.
What BYOG Link Tracks
Data collection is the heart of the addon, and it is impressively thorough. On every character you play, BYOG Link records:
- Gear, including equipped items and overall item level
- Great Vault progress in every vault category
- Your Mythic+ keystone level and dungeon list
- Currencies such as Dawncrests and Coffer Keys
- Profession skill levels, both main and secondary
- Reputation and Renown with key factions
- Your bags, bank, reagent bank, and guild bank whenever you open them
All of that data feeds the gear check tooltips. Hover over gear in your bags, in loot, in trade, or on the Auction House and BYOG Link tells you whether it is likely an upgrade, using stat weights for your spec or plain item level when no weights exist yet.
What You Get In Game
Aside from tracking, BYOG Link adds genuinely useful tools to your interface. Recommended talent builds for every class and spec are available with /bl talent, while /bl advice gives advice based on your character's current data. The weekly to-do list lets you plan your week on BYOGHub and check items off in game, with changes syncing both ways so the last change wins. Your guild's AI assistant, Aegis, can answer questions asked in Discord or guild chat, and the answers appear right inside the game. Everything lives in a minimap button and a tabbed window opened with /bl.
How to Install BYOG Link
Before you download BYOG Link, make sure the addon is up to date for the version of the game you play, since Retail and the Classic-era clients each have their own layout rules. The good news is that installing is straightforward either way. If you prefer having everything managed for you, the foxygame.net launcher handles the whole process in a couple of clicks: it offers a searchable addon catalog where you can find BYOG Link by name, installs it into the right folder for your client, and keeps it updated whenever the game version changes, so you always run the current release.
To install BYOG Link on your own, follow these simple steps:
- Extract the downloaded archive into your World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns folder, or the equivalent folder for Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, or MoP installations.
- Make sure the folder inside named BYOGLink remains intact and is not nested too deeply.
- Launch World of Warcraft and confirm the addon is checked in the AddOns list on the character select screen.
That is the whole "how to install" routine. If you grab the wrong version, the game may simply refuse to load BYOG Link, so double-check the client name before you start. Once it loads, log in and the addon starts collecting data as you play.
Do You Need BYOG Sync?
Not for everything. Gear check tooltips, talent builds, advice, and vault tracking all work without BYOG Sync. You only need the companion app for the site upload, the weekly to-do list, and Aegis replies. Install BYOG Sync from the Microsoft Store and sign in with your BYOGHub account once, and it uploads data quietly in the background from then on.

Privacy and Safety
Privacy is a fair question for any addon that tracks this much, and BYOG Link answers it well. Like every WoW addon, it has no internet access at all. It only writes to your local SavedVariables file. BYOG Sync reads that file and uploads it to your own BYOGHub account, nothing more. Your guild sees your data because you choose to run the companion app, and you remain in control of what is shared.
For guilds that want a tighter connection between the website and the game, BYOG Link is a rare example of an addon that genuinely makes raiding, dungeons, and weekly planning easier instead of flashier. Set it up once, let it track while you play, and enjoy a guild that always knows where everyone stands.
