ARC is a lightweight raid-readiness addon for World of Warcraft: Mists of
Pandaria 5.4.8 (Interface 50400). It turns ready checks, inspection data and
raid activity into one clear view, without changing player settings or
answering ready checks automatically.
- ready state, role, spec, consumables, raid buffs and ARC version
- upgrade-aware item level, durability, belt buckle, meta and profession-aware PvE gear checks
- talents, class self-buffs, tank stance, pets, Growl and Healthstone checks
- a clear READY TO PULL, NOT READY or CHECK INCOMPLETE verdict
- standalone ARC Check for a targeted player, even outside your group
- automatic raid-session reports with players, bosses, trash inactivity and loot history
- English, Slovak and Czech interface with a per-character language choice
- adjustable main-window opacity, a temporary 10-player demo roster and automatic optional ElvUI styling
- Download the latest ZIP from GitHub Releases.

ElvUI support is detected automatically.

By default ARC opens when a ready check starts. Enable Manual opening only in Options if you want to open it yourself. The Ready and Not Ready buttons answer only your own active ready check.
ARC follows an English (enGB/enUS) game client by default. Slovak and
Czech can be selected in Options; the choice is remembered separately for each
character.
Options also provides a Window Opacity slider and Load Random 10-player Demo. The demo is clearly marked, never enters saved raid/session data and is discarded on reload or when a real ready check starts.
Raid sessions start automatically inside raid instances, stay together across wipes and finish after a normal 30-second departure, with extra protection for ghost runbacks. Tracking and trash inactivity tolerances can be configured in Options; completed sessions are retained for fourteen days.

Players without ARC can still be inspected for spec, equipped gear and low item level when they are in inspect range. Private data such as remote durability, bags/Healthstones, weapon imbues and hunter-pet Growl autocast requires their ARC report. To avoid false raid blockers on MoP private-server cores, remote Self and Healthstone checks without usable ARC data are shown as passed/skipped; their tooltips explain that they were not verified.
The product name is Advanced Raid Check, but technical identifiers remain
ARC, ARC_DB and ARC1 for compatibility with existing settings and peers.
