Installing the Raider.IO in-game addon lets you inspect scores directly on your screen without leaving World of Warcraft. These tools reveal your completed keystones across the active dungeon rotation and help you refine your route execution.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"checking-character-profiles-and-mythic-runs\">Checking Character Profiles and Mythic+ Runs<\/h2>\n<p>The primary way to perform a WoW RIO score check is by searching for your character name or guild on the site. Your profile shows your Midnight Season 2 Mythic+ scores, current raid progression, and individual run details.<\/p>\n<p>The site also tracks regional and guild rankings alongside recent dungeon activity. Beyond web searches, downloading the official desktop app gathers all your characters into a single dashboard so you can view your standing at a glance.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"raiderio-in-game-addon-and-tools\">Raider.IO In-Game Addon and Tools<\/h2>\n<p>The raider io addon brings profile ratings into the default game interface, allowing you to see player scores when forming groups.
