Double up, since Curse's WoWDB.com tracks some things that WoWHead does not, like
mailboxes. For Curse, you need the addon
WoWDB Profiler, and the
Curse Client needs to be running when you exit the game. You can do this every few days, unless you truly want to run the client all the time. Unfortunately, Mac users, while they can install the addon and collect data, cannot upload with the v4 Mac Curse Client. Also, there is no way to manually upload the data to WoWDB.
WoWHead requires the
WoWHead Looter program, which installs their addon for you. It is compatible with both Windows and Mac, and does have a manual upload option, along with automatic.
