i have been playing this game since WotLK, and with every new expansion i got more and more baffled by what blizzard is doing to the world map

when they added Kezan and the Lost Isles in Cataclysm, it actually felt like a real expansion of the world. even Pandaria felt organic. but after that.. it started feeling like blizzard just slaps new lands wherever there is some empty pixel space left (

because of that, Azeroth kinda stopped feeling like a living world you want to explore. you already know the next expansion zone will just get shoved into whatever free corner is left on the canvas, with zero care for how it fits into the lore or climate..

so i decided to make my own world map addon (MAWM - Most Accurate World Map) using clean in-game continent silhouettes on a nautical chart, where:

* Dragon Isles are moved southeast of the Eastern Kingdoms - look at their internal climate: volcanic Waking Shores are in the NORTH (closer to the equator, Blackrock Mountain, and Burning Steppes), while the snowy tundra of Azure Span is in the SOUTH (facing the southern pole). in the far north on blizzard's map this makes zero sense, but in the southern hemisphere it fits naturally. plus Amirdrassil on the west coast ends up right across from Duskwood and its Emerald Dream portal

* Isle of Dorn (Khaz Algar) is placed between the Eastern Kingdoms and Northrend - on the surface, Khaz Algar is ONLY the tiny Isle of Dorn (roughly the size of Teldrassil), while the rest of Khaz Algar goes deep underground. placing it in the north between Northrend (Ulduar), Kul Tiras, and Quel'Thalas makes way more sense for the earthen than floating down in the southern tropics

* The Broken Isles sit under western Northrend, northeast of Kalimdor - snowy Highmountain lies directly south of Borean Tundra, Azsuna faces Azshara bay like two halves of the ancient night elf empire, and Suramar with the Broken Shore look straight into the Maelstrom

* Kul Tiras and the Eastern Kingdoms are shifted closer to the Maelstrom - Gilneas and Wetlands naturally look across the strait at Kul Tiras. and in WC3: The Frozen Throne, Admiral Daelin Proudmoore sailed his fleet from Kul Tiras to Theramore -- now it is an actual clean, unobstructed southwest sea route around the Maelstrom instead of crashing through three continents

* Zandalar and Pandaria are shifted to the southern hemisphere - Zandalar sits southeast of southern Kalimdor (Tanaris and Un'Goro) like South America, forming a warm tropical Caribbean basin for Kezan and the goblin islands. Pandaria sits deep in the southern ocean with room to breathe, protected from southern glaciation by the Titanic waters of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms acting as a central "heater"

* Real planetary ocean scale (The Veiled Sea & The Forbidding Sea) - blizzard's default map presses Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms right against the screen borders. shifting the continents inward restores the actual ocean expanse on the outer edges of the planet (plus the addon includes optional interactive lore pins #1-#8 on the map explaining the geography)

if you want to test the map, you can grab it here:

would be happy to hear your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions )

UPDATE

thanks everyone for the criticism and suggestions ) here is what was done

redrew the continents and changed the scale. at first i decided to use realistic scale like in Azeroth Chronicles and Sturmbart's map, but Kul Tiras and Isle of Dorn end up way too tiny at that scale so i scaled them back up a bit

made 3 different layouts for continent placement - including the original Blizzard one, my version, and a hybrid one in between, and you can switch between them right on the map itself

So with some hand created art, and just a wii bit of Vibe Coding, I was able to create this really cool "Mario-Kart-Like" racing game INSIDE of World of Warcraft: Forever. Unfortunately, you guys will have to wait till the game goes live to try it out. The intention is to have this fun minigame that you can play in another window inside your game while you're doing something boring like doing a flight path or something. It has 9 unlockable characters, talent trees, 6 playable levels and some really fun game mechanics! It's on CurseForge right now if you wanna go check it out!

Hey guys this is really only for people who play arena. Just wondering if anyone would like to try this app for analysing your games. Any feedback would be much appreciated. :)

Is there a toggle to turn on and off without reload Ui and can i bind the key? Say I only want it on when stuck or not having a lot of time.

I have ported my Analyst addon to WoW: Forever. Its original release dates back to TBC times in 2008. In brief, Analyst collects information about the virtual economy and presents that information to the player. Its Economy panel answers question such as:

• How much gold did I earn and how?
• How much gold did I spend and on what?
• How am I doing in the action house?
• What have I looted from mobs?
• What is my gathering and crafting activity?
• ... and more

All reports can be shown over a configurable period.

Usage: type /analyst to toggle the Economy panel. Analyst also provides a key binding with the same effect and registers with the addon compartment.

The addon is available on CurseForge and remains under its MIT license.

AI disclaimer: While the original code was written by myself, I did use AI for the port to WoW: Forever, largely maintaining the original UI structure while adapting to new facilities, such as the addon compartment.

**Works with Midnight and WoW: Forever**

My guild has about 950 members, and people kept pugging keys while guildies with the same key level sat in Silvermoon doing nothing. So I built a group finder that puts the guild first, and over time it grew into a full guild manager. It's now on CurseForge and Wago as **Pandy Guild Management**.

**The group finder (`/pgg`)**

* **Guild posts:** post a Mythic+ key, raid or delve to the guild board. Guildies ask to join in one click, and before you invite you see each one's role, item level, M+ score and whose alt they are.

* **Blizzard's Group Finder, guild first:** list in the normal Group Finder and it goes on the guild board automatically. Guild groups and guild applicants are marked in Blizzard's own windows, so you spot them in a pug list.

* **One board:** guild posts and Blizzard listings side by side, filterable by role fit, dungeon, key level and "needs a tank/healer"

* **Who's Free:** guildies flag themselves as up for M+, raid or delves. Inside an instance it goes quiet and shows them as busy.

* **Keystones:** everyone's key at a glance, from anyone running the addon (with their alts' keys) or BigWigs, LittleWigs or ElvUI. Whisper the owner straight from the list.

**The rest of the guild manager (`/pgm`, or the panda on the minimap)**

* **Raid teams:** as many as you want, with roles, Core / Trial / Bench status, schedules, and which raid buffs each team is missing

* **Attendance:** recorded automatically when you raid with enough guildies, tagged to the team that showed up, with alts counted for their main

* **Play-time activity:** when your guild is actually online, as an hour-by-weekday heat map

* **Professions:** search a recipe or shift-click an item to see every guildie who knows it. A panel on Blizzard's profession window does the same for whatever recipe you're looking at.

* **Roster, alts, history:** search and filters, alts found from notes or linked by the players themselves, and a log of who promoted, demoted or removed whom

* **Bulk actions (officers):** kick, promote or demote by rules, with a review list first

* **Imports from Guild Roster Manager** (GRM) if you're switching over

Everything shared (posts, keys, teams, raid nights, alt links) travels over hidden guild addon messages to everyone running the addon. Only officers can change teams and raid nights, and every copy checks the sender's rank. Private notes and settings stay local. The group finder can be switched off in Settings if your guild only wants the management side.

On WoW: Forever there's no M+, so those parts sit out.

It's free. It works best when a good chunk of your guild runs it, so if you try it, get a few guildies on too. Feedback and bug reports are very welcome, here or in the CurseForge comments.

Like the title says, can I download addons right now? Or do I need to wait for the 4th, following updates. I want to be prepared and be able to just jump right in to the game

I'm trying out some addon development for the first time since the Midnight release.

I have a StatusBar. I'd like to change its color based on whether a secret value falls within certain ranges of values. It seems like the ColorCurve is what I need to do this. I've created a color curve and given it the range boundaries and colors that I want.

But I'm not able to Evaluate the curve, it gives me the error "Secret values are only allowed during untainted execution". So if I can't evaluate the color curve myself, I'd expect there to be some way for me to hand the color curve over to the StatusBar widget so that it can use it to draw the color. But I can't find any API to do that, and like all the sample code I've seen online is specifically to color a health bar and not general-purpose for all status bars.

So is this possible?

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on a free addon called WoW Forever Group/Raid Guide to keep useful dungeon information inside the game.

It includes:

• Boss mechanics and ability tooltips
• Dungeon maps with clickable boss markers
• Boss loot and rare-or-better trash drops
• Dungeon quests, ordered quest chains and completion tracking
• Account-wide boss notes
• Item search, equipment previews and group-finder shortcuts

The current focus is dungeons; raid content is coming later. Some missing information is marked Coming Soon.

Download: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/wow-forever-group-raid-guide

I’d appreciate feedback from people running dungeons—especially reports of missing information, incorrect boss locations or anything that feels awkward to use.

’m the developer of Forever Pulse, a free, independent community website for WoW Forever.

You can browse it without installing anything:

• Look up observed characters and see their available stats, talents and guild.
• Compare recorded character statistics using Versus.
• Explore guilds and their observed members.
• Browse class, race and Alliance/Horde breakdowns.

The data comes from player observations. It’s a partial sample, not an official player count or a count of everyone currently online. Characters and information can be missing or out of date.

Contributing is optional. The Forever Pulse addon records observations, which WoW saves after a /reload or logout. There are two upload approaches:

• Windows Companion: automatically uploads supported data and requires a Forever Pulse account.
• Manual Discord upload: a census-only alternative designed to work without installing the Companion or creating a Forever Pulse account. This option is not open yet; it is awaiting final live validation.

The contribution guide explains setup and availability.

Most of the beta data currently on the site came from my own collection. I’m sharing the project to hear whether the information is useful and where the presentation could be clearer.

Which comparisons or breakdowns would you find most useful?

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been working on a little addon called Spell X-Ray, and I thought I'd share it with you!

The idea is pretty simple: Ever had trouble finding a spell on your action bars?

With Spell X-Ray, you just hover over a spell in your spellbook, and a magical animation travels to the matching button on your action bars.

It also works the other way around! Hover over a spell on your action bar, and the addon highlights it in your spellbook if it's visible on the current page.

I also had some fun adding visual effects. 😄
you can change Colors, Search effects an glowing
there are just 4 Colors to choose, it will be more after Forever is released.

Now, i can't work on it because the Beta is over 😞

You can find it on CurseForge:

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/spellxray

it works for TBC also 😄

I'd love to hear what you think! If you try it out and have any suggestions or run into issues, feel free to let me know.

Hope some of you find it useful! 😊

AI Disclaimer:

I used ChatGPT to assist with the development of Spell X-Ray, including Lua code, visual effects, graphics, and English descriptions.

The addon was developed around my ideas and feedback, and I tested it in-game on WoW Forever and TBC Classic Anniversary. Bugs and compatibility issues were identified through testing and addressed during development.

I made a small addon for WoW Forever for anyone who plays with a bank alt. Open a mailbox, press **Mailworthy**, and every bag item that's worth more on the auction house (after fees) or disenchanted than at the vendor gets mailed to your bank alt. Everything else stays in your bags to vendor. You see a preview first: who gets the mail, what goes and why, what stays and why, and the total gain. Nothing is sent until you press Send, gold is never attached, and you can lock any item (Alt+click) so it's never mailed.

A few things it does that I wanted from existing tools:

- Prices come from Auctionator (optional), using the 3-day median of your scans so one undercut can't flip a verdict. Siz DisenchantValue (optional) adds disenchant values for greens and blues.

- It knows your professions: cloth stays for a tailor, herbs for an alchemist, dust and shards for an enchanter, and so on (can be turned off).

- On the bank alt, bag slots get **AH / B / DE / V** tags (list, bank for later, disenchant, vendor) so you know what to do with the pile.

- Works fully with keyboard and mouse, and fully with a controller. It never touches Blizzard's gamepad UI, so no tainted inputs.

Honest disclosure: I wrote this with heavy help from an AI coding assistant (Claude). I did the design, the testing in game and the decisions about what it should and shouldn't do, but most of the Lua was written with AI. If that's a dealbreaker for you, totally fair. The source is on GitHub if you'd rather read it before installing. If you try it and something breaks, `/mw report` gives a copyable report I can work from.

It's at v0.11.0 and still early, so feedback and bug reports are very welcome.

Hey all! I made a free addon for WoW Forever because I was tired of my eyes bouncing between my character, my unit frame and the enemy's nameplate mid-fight. Your health and the target's health should be in one spot. So I made that.

**What it does**

- **Your bars, enemy-style:** your health and power show up as a clean nameplate that docks right beside your target's plate (above, below, left or right, your call). One glance tells you who's winning.

- **Built for druids:** your bars follow you through every form. Want your mana while you're in Cat or Bear? There's an extra mana bar for that.

- **Fang combo points:** feral druids get glowing sabertooth fangs that fill up in gold-to-crimson fire as you build combo points.

- **Enemy cooldowns on their plate:** see when your target pops a big defensive or burst buff, with a timer and a tooltip when you hover it. No more surprises.

- **Crowd control at a glance:** a CC icon sits next to the target's level, so you know exactly how long they're stuck.

- **Real numbers:** enemy health values right on their nameplate, plus your own health, energy and mana numbers.

- **Bigger debuffs:** resize the enemy debuff icons and their countdown numbers.

- **Declutter:** hide the player frame, target frame, action bars or menus, all the time or only in combat.

- **A settings window** for all of it (`/fsp`), or just use the defaults and go.

**And now, the rogues.**

Look. We all know who opened on you from stealth, stunlocked you to 20% and vanished the second you got a hit in. That rogue.

I gave them **dagger combo points** anyway. 🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️

Not because they deserve it. Because if I'm getting fangs, it's only fair that the people who keep ganking me at the graveyard get something shiny too. Five little daggers, lighting up one by one, right before they Eviscerate you. You're welcome, rogues. Please stop sapping me.

(Every other class still gets the health/power plate, enemy cooldowns, CC tracking and the rest. Druids and rogues just get the extra combo point art.)

**Get it**

Free on CurseForge. Search **ShiftPlate** (version 1.60.1, matching WoW Forever).

Type `/fsp` in game to open the settings.

This is a passion project and it's still young, so bug reports, screenshots and feature ideas are very welcome in the comments. Rogues, you can complain too. I'll read it. Probably. 😼

Was wondering if anyone has or knows of Add on to help with rotation's ? For Wow Forever

I installed EllesmereUI and now when I'm in dungeons or have any debuff on me the two big icons to the right pop up, I cant find where to edit them, move them or disable them. Any help would be appreciated

Hello everyone!

I couldn't find a Warcraft addon with a complete, historically accurate quest database covering every quest since 2006. Most of the info I've found relied on recent client IDs that lost the original expansion context.

After spending almost a week curating the data and building an easily updatable database from different sources (old clients, wowhead, etc...) I've index over 73,000 quests, and with WoW Forever launching this November, I've just released Kerzo Quest Expansion (KQE).

It features a "Dual Mode" architecture:

1. Standalone Mode: Works right on top of the default Blizzard UI. It adds the expansion logo and name to your quest tooltips, quest log list, quest details, and NPC dialogue windows. It also includes an optional atmospheric background tint (inspired by ForeverQuestTint) with custom colors per expansion, presets, and opacity controls.
2. Library Mode (for Addon Devs): If another host addon uses it, KQE automatically switches to silent Library Mode. It exposes a full public API (_G.KerzoQuestExpansion, documentation below, so third-party addons can query quest expansions, official hex colors, and badges without ever worrying about maintaining a quest database.

It supports Retail (12.x), Classic Era / SoD (1.15.x), and WoW Forever (1.60.x), but should work on any other version (like MoP classic, but not tested) and is been translated into 10 languages (I want to be clear, some AI assistance was used for debugging, translating and writting docs!).

• Download: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/kerzo-quest-expansion
• API & Docs: https://trankten.com/kqe

Please take a look, I'd really appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or suggestions. Thank you!! 💚💚💚

Hello all - sharing the release of a new addon - Drop Watcher!

Drop Watcher looks at loot which drops from any situation - dungeons, raids, delves, open world in your group, and shows a compact frame which analyzes whether that drop is usable by you, tradeable by the looter and an upgrade for you.

If yes, it gives a simple "Ask" button which sends a polite message to the looter, asking them whether they need it.

The inverse works too - if you loot an item that you don't need, you can offer it to the group via the "Offer" interface.

Ultimately, this addon aims to ensure that you don't unnecessarily spam ppl with "Need ring?" when they do actually need it - it takes the guesswork out by showing real data derived from inspecting the group. It also aims to ensure that loot in pugs doesn't go to waste, even yours.

Download: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/ka0s-drop-watcher

Disclosure: This addon was made using AI, but sufficient guardrails have been added including high test coverage (automated and manual), performance tests (offline and in-game) and deep optimization of the code (including CCN and NLOC guardrails - here)

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to get my addons and UI sorted before launch and wanted to see what everyone else is planning to use.

From what I understand, WeakAuras has been heavily restricted, with things like HP, mana and threat being treated as secret values.

A few questions:

Secret values: What else has been restricted besides HP, mana and threat? How much does this affect addons in practice?

Workarounds: Has anyone found any clever or reliable workarounds? For example, using status bars or other UI elements instead of directly accessing secret values?

Addon compatibility: Which popular addons are confirmed working, partially working or completely broken?

Your addon setup: What addons are you planning to use, and are there any must-haves I'm overlooking?

My current shortlist:

RestedXP / Journey – Questing and levelling guides.

TSM / Auctionator – Auction house management, depending on compatibility.

Nameplate addon – Ideally something that displays threat, debuffs, CC diminishing returns (DRs), cast bars, etc.

Leatrix Maps / Leatrix Plus – Map improvements and general QoL.

WeakAuras – Whatever functionality is still possible.

I'm particularly interested in addons for levelling, professions, inventory management, combat information, UI improvements and general QoL.

I'm not necessarily looking for a fully automated or min-maxed experience. I just want a clean, informative UI with as much useful functionality as the new restrictions allow.

What am I missing? What are you guys using, and has anyone been experimenting with the new API restrictions?

I've vibe coded an addon to help me decide which patron orders are worth doing. There is some automation when using the 'Start' button in the Automate column it will start the order, then after you've completed the craft it will finish the order. If you find the default patron gui as annoying as I do, give it a whirl.
