In the online multilayer role-playing game "World of Warcraft," your character's Gear Score is similar to a credit score. Raid leaders looking to pick up additional people can quickly determine their Gear Score and get a rough estimate of the player's experience and the likelihood that the player has seen the raid in question. The raid leader can then weigh the risk/reward of bringing that player along. By knowing your Gear Score and your character's equipment impact on your score, you can make sure you only roll on loot that will help you.
Instructions

Open your Web browser and go to WoW-Heroes.com. This is the site that calculates your character's Gear Score.

All of your character's information is now on the screen. By tracing a line from the right of your name, you'll find your Gear Score. Further to the right, below your professions is your total emblems earned. This reflects how much raid time your character has seen.
