[Addon] QuestTrail: a quest route planner for WoW Forever that build its own quest database

I wanted a quest helper for Forever that does not depend on a database that is not there yet, so I wrote one that learns as you play.

AI Disclaimer: I am using AI for running LUA tests and debug, ingame troubleshooting, profiling, code architecture decoupling, and publishing on Curseforge.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit : Added sharing database (Guild or World) in 2.0.0, see my reply below for the details
------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Compass arrow to the next step, re-planned as your questlog changes

The mighty compass, turns into a clickable Hearthstone if it is up and makes you closer to the next planned step.

  • Minimap Planner: the whole route drawn on the zone map with numbered steps

I've always loved the Zonemap so I changed it to forsee what the Compass is planning ahead for you. Fully tweakable in options.

  • QuestLog expanding Blizzard with the addon; shows XP granted per quest, the cumulative XP gained from slained mobs related to that quest, and where you stand in a chained quest. There are some QoL features for auto turn-in/accept quests, but only if you finished them at least with one character.

I wanted to keep the look and feel of Blizzard quest tracker in Forever.

Markers ! On the Worldmap, Map and Minimap, they merge depending on their size, density and zoom level.

  • No spoilers: it only shows what the game or your own characters revealed. That was my main motivation to steer away from addons coming with a pre-populated database that could spoil me any new quests added in Forever.

Everything can be turned off and tweaked via options menu (as of today steer away from Advanced settings though, it can be unsafe to use unless for debugging purposes).

CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/questtrail

I plan to add sharing data across guildmates and/or addon user, keeping the non-spoiling spirit of the addon.

Feedback very welcome, some features where whispered by some friends, and especially for routes that feel wrong and as I'm still tweaking them.

Thanks !
