KeyCount
For dedicated Mythic+ players in World of Warcraft, knowing your true performance goes far beyond the completed runs displayed on Raider.io. The standard APIs only record successes, leaving a massive gap in your personal data regarding abandoned keys, failed attempts, and the sheer volume of specific dungeons you have attempted. This is where KeyCount steps in as an essential tool for any serious pusher or completionist. By tracking every single keystone interaction, this lightweight addon provides a comprehensive historical record that helps you understand your actual play patterns and success rates across all difficulties.
Why You Need Complete Data Tracking
The default user interface and third-party rating sites often paint an incomplete picture of your Mythic+ journey. They celebrate victories but ignore the struggles. KeyCount for World of Warcraft fills this void by storing basic information about all your keystones, including those abandoned by you or your party members mid-run. This allows you to finally answer questions like "Which dungeon have I actually attempted the most?" or "What is my real success rate in Halls of Infusion versus Neltharus?" Whether you are grinding for a personal best in Retail or analyzing meta shifts in Classic eras like WotLK or Cataclysm, having access to raw attempt data is invaluable for strategic planning.
The addon saves all data points directly to your SavedVariables folder, ensuring your history persists across sessions. It tracks critical metrics such as the dungeon name, completion status, time taken, death counts, key level, specific affixes, and the date of the run. This granular level of detail empowers you to filter your history with precision, helping you identify weak points in your route execution or group composition.
Seamless Installation and Launcher Integration
Getting started with this powerful utility is straightforward for players on any version of the game, from modern Dragonflight retail to legacy expansions like Mists of Pandaria. When you download KeyCount, you can install it manually by placing the files in your Interface/AddOns directory, but there is a more efficient method for managing your addons. If you utilize the foxygame.net launcher, you can add KeyCount to your collection with a single click, benefiting from their extensive addon catalog that automatically handles version compatibility and updates so you never miss a bugfix. This integration ensures that your tracking tool remains functional even when game patches shift the underlying API structures.
Once installed, learning how to install and configure the data view is simple thanks to the intuitive slash command system. Typing /kc opens the graphical user interface, while /kch provides a full help menu. You can list all recorded dungeons with /kcl or use the powerful filtering command /kcf to isolate specific runs based on keys and values. For example, you can filter to show only runs with more than three deaths or specifically analyze your performance during Tyrannical weeks.
Advanced Filtering and Data Analysis
The true power of this addon lies in its robust filtering capabilities. The database is shared across all your characters, allowing for a holistic view of your account-wide Mythic+ activity. You can filter data using a wide array of parameters including season, player name, dungeon name, completion status, timing, death counts, key level, and specific affix combinations. The syntax supports complex queries; you can separate multiple affixes with commas for an AND condition or use a pipe symbol for an OR condition. Additionally, the /kcrate command calculates and displays your success rate for each dungeon, which can be further refined using your custom filters.
It is important to note that data is only recorded by actually playing Mythic+; you cannot import runs from external sources like Raider.io. Furthermore, new data entries will not appear in the print commands or GUI until you perform a reload of the user interface using /reload or relog into the game. This ensures that the SavedVariables file is properly written and read by the addon.
Troubleshooting and Beta Status
As with many specialized tools, KeyCount is currently in beta, meaning features and bugfixes are rolled out regularly. If your data is not showing up in commands, ensure you have the latest version installed and remember to reload your UI after sessions to save the data to the database. While the addon does not support viewing other players' data, it remains the definitive solution for personal analytics. Whether you are navigating the complex affix rotations of the current season or revisiting classic dungeons in older expansions, this tool provides the clarity needed to refine your strategy and improve your overall performance in the Great Vault and beyond.
