Hey everyone!

I’m playing WoW for the first time, and one of the things I struggled with was understanding chat. Messages full of abbreviations like BRD, LFM, PST and MS>OS left me searching online just to understand what people were saying.

That’s why I created SlangSight, with new and returning players in mind.

Hover over a supported term directly in chat to see its meaning, explanation and, where available, a usage example. No need to open another window or leave the game.

v0.1.6 is now available, featuring:

• 535 glossary entries covering groups, dungeons, raids, classes, loot, professions and more.
• 171 usage examples to help explain how terms are used.
• 39 new terms, including dungeon runs, loot rules and Classic build abbreviations.
• Expanded explanations for terms with multiple meanings.
• Improved hover detection, making longer phrases and smaller words easier to read.

The project is still in early development and has been tested on WoW Forever. I’m also planning features such as explaining whole chat messages and using context to help distinguish ambiguous abbreviations.

I’d really appreciate anyone trying it and sharing feedback! Are there important terms missing, confusing explanations, or bugs you’ve noticed? Suggestions from experienced players would help make it more useful for beginners like me.

Thanks for taking a look!

Been playing the Forever beta and wanted something that tells the story of a journey once it's over.

It tracks your leveling in the background. Deaths and what killed you, /played for every level, murlocs slain, ganks, class stuff like druid form time or soul shards burned, etc.

At 60 you type /journey export, paste the code on the site, and get your recap. Nothing uploads on its own and it doesn't collect other players' names or chat.

It's free and still early, so expect some bugs. If you're in the beta I'd love for you to try it. Any feedback/suggestions helps a ton!

AI Disclaimer: Hey gang, obviously using AI tools for dev but this post is my own words

I'm a product designer for a small software company and I've been working on this side project Chronicle. Essentially, capturing the essence of your character at each ding. Gear, pets, environment, and transmog are all documented and can be replayed in the addon or via Purist companion webapp. I'll keep building on Purist as a transmog companion site, but Chronicle is for preserving your real character history

I'm using the rest of the beta period to get Chronicle on-point so that we can be good to go for launch in a few weeks. As a bonus, it will also preserve beta characters! If you decide to give it a spin, please let me know if you see any weirdness in your character export. Very much a WIP!

Update 1.1.0: New game Spellbounce, inspired by your Peggle memories! Launch spell orbs through glowing runes with all nine classic classes, each with its own power, across ten maps with a fireworks finale. Scores can now also be whispered to friends.

Hey everyone!

Anyone who has taken a longer flight path knows the feeling: there's nothing to do but stare at your character's back. So I built Darkmoon Arcade, a small collection of mini games that opens automatically when you take a flight path and pauses your game the moment you land or get pulled into combat.

The games so far

• Murloc Blast: a bubble shooter with three difficulties, stone bubbles, bombs and endless levels
• Flappy Griffin: one button, one gryphon, lots of pipes. Collect Darkmoon tickets and earn medals
• Jewels of Uldum: match three with flame gems, prisms and cascades, in Classic or Blitz mode
• Goblin Slot Machine: build your own slot machine one symbol at a time and pay the goblin banker's ever-rising rent

Other features

• Live estimate of the remaining flight time (WIP)
• Top 10 highscores per game and a guild leaderboard (shared quietly between guild members who run the addon)
• 60 achievements, some of them really tough
• Share your score in say, party or guild chat
• English, German, French, Spanish, Russian and Simplified Chinese

You choose whether the arcade opens on flights with your favorite game, with the game selection or not at all. You can also open it anytime with /arcade or the minimap button.

This is version 1.0, so I'd love to hear your feedback. Bugs, balancing, ideas for the next game: let me know here or open an issue on GitHub. Which game should come next?

AI Disclaimer:

• Code: Most of the Lua code was written by an AI coding assistant (Claude) based on my ideas and feedback. I tested every feature in-game, reported bugs and decided on gameplay, layout and balancing. The game logic is also covered by automated tests that run outside the client.
• Text and translations: The in-game texts and the translations into French, Spanish, Russian and Chinese were generated with AI. I checked the English and German versions; corrections from native speakers are very welcome.
• Logo and icon: The logo and the minimap icon were created with an AI image generator.
• Other graphics and sounds: Card art, backgrounds, effects and sounds were generated procedurally by Python scripts (written with AI help, included in the repo). Item icons, the gryphon model and creature voices are loaded from the game client and not included.

Hey all! I made a small addon for WoW: Forever called Zonewise, and I'd love some feedback.

Hover any zone on the world map and you get a clean tooltip with:

• The zone's level range, coloured for your character (red, orange, yellow, green, grey, just like quest colours)
• Herbalism, Mining and Skinning ranges, coloured by your skill-up chance
• Hold Shift to see every herb and ore node in the zone and the skill it needs
• Dungeons and raids with their level ranges, with Forever's new instances marked NEW
• Whether the zone is Alliance, Horde or Contested

There's also a small toast when you enter a new zone, with compact and detailed styles. Everything can be switched on or off in Options > AddOns > Zonewise, which has a live preview.

It's lightweight and works out of the box. If you spot any wrong level ranges or node data, let me know and I'll fix it!

FrameWorks is a quality-of-life and UI customization suite for WoW: Forever. Hide or fade UI elements, customize chat and the minimap, adjust bag, cast bars and tooltips from an interface meant to feel like an extension to the default game art. Link to download and more info: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/frameworks.

This project started out as nothing but a small personal tool to hide or fade certain elements of the UI. But then I kept getting ideas for implementations, most of which I consider should be part of the default UI experience, hence the design approach - making an addon that feels like it's part of the game's own menus and offers something that shouldn't have required an addon to begin with.

Personal favourites include: movement based panel fading, the ability to move and scale the compact bag, total sell price (currently unavailable without addon) and total/single auction price (with auction scanning!) in tooltips, custom cast bars scaling, bigger target debuffs, displaying completed quest XP along with total XP inside the minimap and last but not least the whole minimap toolset which provides in-depth customization.

The whole point behind this addon, at least for me, is to not have to go look for these settings in a bunch of different addons and just have them accessible in a single unified and intuitive interface. Planning to work on this indefinitely but I feel like a feature freeze is not too far away at this stage, followed by just live QA. Have fun with it and do give some feedback if you decide to try it out!

NOTE: Make sure to install version v1.1.1 or newer, there was a sound issue with the previous release.

Figured there had to be a better way than spamming trade every time I need a crafter. So I made an addon for it.

It quietly builds a list of crafters while you play. Every time someone links their profession in chat, it saves their whole recipe list, and you don't even have to click the link. It also picks people up when they link something they made or can make, when you see them crafting nearby, or when they're in your group or guild. In cities and inns it takes a quick look at everyone around you every few minutes, and if you play with friendly nameplates on it checks everyone you walk past. Other people running the addon also share their professions with each other automatically, so the list fills up pretty fast.

When you need something, type the item name and you see who can make it, when they were last online, and you can whisper them with one click. You can filter by skill level too, so you only see the people who are high enough. You can also open anyone's recipe book with all the reagents, whether they're online or not.

There's also a Work tab, kind of like a reverse AH. You post what you want made, which mats you bring and what you'll pay, and crafters with the addon who can make it get a pop-up. They hit "I can make it" and you get their name to whisper or invite.

It's brand new so there are probably some bugs. Let me know if something's off or if you have ideas.

AI Disclaimer: AI was used during the development of this Addon. I'm a Software Engineer by trade with a masters in CS. I handle software daily through the whole pipeline including security. Code is never written entirely by hand anymore, not a single piece of software is. A good engineer knows how to utilize AI efficiently and safely. Optimization is a key factor since AI can get ahead of itself and not consider performance.

Update: Due to Forever not actual being realmless (read more here) https://www.reddit.com/r/wowforever/comments/1wxo2m8/forever_isnt_fully_realmless_there_are_hidden/ there are some limitations in the addon finding all guildmembers. I'm working on a workaround for it.

Update2: Good news. I believe I'm onto an idea that utilizes the Battle.net friend system to cross realms. Won't work perfectly until we have enough users of Linked Inn though to reliably have enough bridges to cross.

Hello.

I made an addon to hide chat messages that are guild recruitment ads, players advertising they can craft items with professions and of course, gold selling spammer. It doesn't add them to the blizzard ignore list, just makes their message not shown in chat.

Current Features

• Automatically detects guild recruitment advertisements.
• Automatically detects profession and crafting advertisements.
• Automatically detects gold seller spam in public chat and incoming whispers.
• Optionally blocks unsolicited guild recruitment whispers.
• Filters public channels, Say, and Yell.
• Does not filter Guild, Officer, Party, Raid, or Instance chat.
• Ordinary whispers and profession advertisements sent by whisper remain visible unless they match the gold spam filter.
• Separate toggles for public guild recruitment, recruitment whispers, profession advertisements, and gold seller spam.
• Individual controls for each profession.
• Player allowlist for people whose messages should never be filtered.
• Phrase allowlist for messages containing specific text.
• Movable minimap button that follows the minimap rim.
• Movable settings window constrained to the game screen.
• Persistent account-wide settings.
• Statistics showing how many messages have been blocked.
• Persistent blocked message history with the sender, category, score, and matched detection signals.
• Best effort multilingual detection.

Hey all,

AzerothGPS StreetView is a companion addon for AzerothGPS (the turn-by-turn GPS addon). You grab the little figure off the map, drop it on any road, and a full 360 degree view of that exact spot pops up. Drag to look around, scroll to zoom, and click the arrows on the ground to walk down the road while the map follows you.

What's in it:

• Around 1,900 street views covering roads all over the Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor and Zephras Isle, roughly one every 200 yards. Heads up: that's about 1.2 GB of pictures, so they're split into four separate download packs, since CurseForge caps how big a single file can be. The CurseForge app grabs them all automatically when you install the StreetView addon.
• The capitals: Stormwind, Orgrimmar, Ironforge, etc.
• Every dungeon and raid boss. Shift-click a boss on the dungeon map and you're standing in their room
• Wildlife hanging around along the roads
• A few dozen hand-picked famous spots (Gadgetzan, Lakeshire, the Crossroads, Light's Hope...)

And the part I really wanted to make: Where in the Azeroth?

It's GeoGuessr for Azeroth. You get dropped into a street view with no zone name and no coordinates, you look around, and you double-click the map where you think you are. Closer guess = more points, and a lonely road in the middle of nowhere is worth more than a spot next to a town. You can play solo, against bots, or with others. You just drop a link in party, guild or whatever channel and people click to join. There are three difficulties, from the terrain map up to a bare world map with nothing revealed.

You should know:

• These aren't screenshots. Every view is a 3D render made from the game's own map and model files. Some things may look a bit... off. If a picture looks broken, like you're stuck in a wall, black patches, or floating rocks, post the zone and coordinates from the title bar in the Discord or on GitHub and I'll get it fixed. Ideas and feedback very welcome.

Link:

• CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/azerothgps-streetview

AI disclaimer: Yup, I built StreetView with help from AI. It also helped check the renders for problems. I came up with the ideas, wrote specific portions, made the design calls, decided what's in and out, and tested it all in game. If AI-assisted projects aren't your thing, totally fair.

Hi all,

I love OPie. I wanted something that matched the look of Blizzard's ping menu, so I made this radial menu addon for myself.

I've never published an addon before, and I'm trying to decide whether it's worth doing. So I'm curious if anyone would actually use it.

Besides the look, the main features of the addon are:

• A drag-and-drop editor that works right on the menu.
• You can place the menu at a fixed spot on screen. When fixed, you can choose to select actions based on the center of the menu or your current mouse position.
• Quick actions can be used without displaying the radial menu.

Would anyone be interested in using this?

---

EDIT 1: I've put the addon on GitHub for anyone who wants to test it: https://github.com/RL-addon-dev/RL_RadialMenu

To install: download the zip and extract it into your AddOns folder:

• Retail: World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\
• WoW Forever: World of Warcraft\_classic_beta_\Interface\AddOns\

Make sure the folder is named RL_RadialMenu (rename it if it's RL_RadialMenu-main). Then launch the game, or /reload if it's already running, and type /radial to open the settings.

Please report bugs or ideas as GitHub issues, or message me directly if you don't have a GitHub account. I'm holding off on CurseForge until I've had some feedback from testers.

Patch 12.1.5 brings the Sporebearer Fungal Strider: a mount with a mailbox and a repair vendor on its back, sold in Harandar for 5,000,000 gold. Then the passengers: on the PTR vendor, unlocking the transmogrifier is another 500,000 and the auction house another 1,500,000. Seven million for the full version, and the mount is only on sale until the end of Midnight.

I don't have seven million gold. What I do have is a lot of alts, and the gold of Midnight is scattered: world quests that pay around a thousand each and refresh at different times, Special Assignments with a ~2,000 gold chest, half a dozen weeklies with their own chest, Paragon caches. Every day I was opening the map zone by zone and forgetting half of it.

So I wrote FuocoGoldFarm. One window, every gold source, and the shortest way to pick it all up:

• Gold world quests sorted by zone, expiry or gold, each with why you'd do it: gold right now, a chest worth roughly X, or a step towards unlocking that zone's Special Assignment (and how many are still missing).
• Every weekly with its chest, what's done, what's taken, when it resets, plus Paragon caches for all six Midnight reputations when one is ready.
• Timers from the server, not guessed. It reads the game's own event schedule, so it knows where the Abundance is now and where it goes next, and which surge on The Coiled Isle starts next and where, before it starts.
• A line to the nearest thing to do on the world map and the minimap, recalculated as you move. Click a quest and it follows that one instead.
• Every character at a glance: what each alt on the account still has to do this week, without logging into each of them.
• Small things: gold earned today, a golden toast over 800 gold (with the goblin who knows that time is money), a countdown on screen five minutes before timed events, and quests with the "click to complete" box turned in for you.

Six languages (EN / IT / ES / DE / FR / RU). Type /fgf, every option is in the window's own menu.

Download on CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/fuocogoldfarm

Screenshots: https://fuocovivo.pages.dev/goldfarm

Feedback I'd love: a source of gold I've missed (if it pays and it repeats, it belongs in the list), and translation fixes, the six languages are my own work plus research.

(Same kitchen as FuocoNote and FuocoAtal'utek, if you've seen those here.)

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on My Forever Recipe Book, an addon that helps you browse profession recipes, see what your character is missing, and find where to learn them—all in a spellbook-style interface.

It includes:

• Profession tabs based on your character’s professions
• Learned recipe tracking, with missing recipes greyed out
• A small indicator for missing recipes whose skill requirement you meet
• Vendor, trainer, drop, and quest sources filtered for your faction
• NPC detail pages with locations, map pins, and their other recipes
• Reagent icons and bag counts
• Search by recipe, reagent, or location name
• In-game item tooltips and shortcuts to learned recipes

Open it with /frb or the minimap button.

The first beta is now available on CurseForge. Some source information is still incomplete, and I’d love feedback from people trying it with different professions.

Download: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/my-forever-recipe-book

If you find a missing recipe, incorrect source, or Lua error, please let me know. For recipe issues, including your profession, faction, and recipe name would help a lot.

What would make this more useful for your profession?

I watched Xaryu's "Mingle" saga and it really struck a chord with me, how cool it is to have memories spanning years with people. That said, I've got a terrible memory, lol. I checked out a good handful of addons that offer some means of keeping notes on players, but none of them did it quite to my liking, so I built Worth Remembering.

The addon allows you to make quick notes on players and/or assign them "reputation" changes (scale from -100 to +100). I tried to build it to be as unintrusive as possible during your normal gameplay, and as quick and easy as possible to assign notes to people (you can create your own presets for use in the quick-add menu shown in the screenshots, or you can use a macro to add that preset to a player without ever opening a window).

The hope is to keep things as streamlined as possible and still allow you to distinctly recall people weeks, months, or even years later. It captures the character you were on, what class and race the other player was, their faction, what level both you and the player were, where in the world you were when you saved the note, when you last saw them, etc. The "Details" tab functions as a sort of complete log of your interactions with an individual player.

It's already been pretty fun saving a note for someone that helped me when I was level 4, and then running across them in the world a week later and being able to thank them again for their help.

Uses only Bliz assets so it fits into Forever's classic-ish style well.

AI was used in building the addon (and the thumbnail, though I spent entirely too much time hand-tweaking that, lol), but I hope it won't fall into y'alls "slop" category. I'm a developer by trade, so hopefully some of the design thought that went into it carries over. I've spent quite a bit of time with it, and I'm still very actively working on it.

I am super open to bug reports, feature requests, suggestions, input, etc.

I'd love if y'all would give it a look.

Thanks!

Been toying with an idea for a photography addon in WoW Forever. Still very much a WIP. Been iterating on the look and features. Right now, you can just zoom normally, or crop in/out with a control + zoom. Curious if anyone would use this kind of addon. I'll make it just for myself, but level of polish will increase if others would be interested :D

I wanted to know where my time, gold and dignity actually go in WoW, so I built Dread Almanac: an addon that quietly records nearly everything your character does, in a window styled like an old warlock's tome.

What it tracks: loot and drop rates, gold in and out, quests, kills and a bestiary, deaths (with who and what killed you), zones and distance traveled, flights, dungeon runs, professions, reputation, combat stats (biggest crits, overkill, close calls), repair bills, AFK time, emotes, and a timeline of your "firsts".

Highlights:

• Wrapped: a Spotify Wrapped-style recap of your week, month, year or all time. Top zone, favorite victim, biggest crit, busiest month, play-style persona ("The Hoarder", "The Martyr", "The Idler"…) and how it compares with the period before.
• Personal records: most kills in a day, longest without dying, rarest drop, priciest repair bill, and more, with a chat message when you beat one.
• Hall of Shame: every "Ability is not ready yet." counted and awarded a title like Button Masher or Hiding Behind Trees.
• Death log with epitaphs: "Here lies Diane, level 22. Lost a fair fight to Murloc Scout. Mostly fair."

Open it with /almanac, /dread or /da, or the minimap button.

Hey all! I've been working on an addon for WoW Forever called Road to Sixty, and 1.0 just went live.

It was inspired by the Hero's Path mode in Zelda: Breath of the Wild, where you can rewind the map and watch every step you took across Hyrule. I wanted that for leveling in Azeroth.

It quietly records where you go while you level, then lets you replay the whole thing on one map of Azeroth, from your first step out of the starting zone to wherever you are now. The video is a sample level 1-30 warrior journey played back at speed.

Note: the video and screenshots use generated test data, so the paths zigzag more than a real character's would. Your own journey will be much more accurate, following the roads, quest hubs and flight paths you actually took.

What it does

• Your path on the world map, coloured by level band (white, green, blue, purple, orange), with smooth zoom from the whole world down to terrain detail
• Replay at 1x to 32x, with a timeline you can click or drag to jump to any moment
• Your gear at every level up: hover a level up to see your character in that gear, or turn on Gear during a replay to watch your upgrades happen
• Every jump explained: hearthstones, flight paths, boats, deaths and dungeon runs each get their own line style, and you can hover them for details
• History: level ups, deaths, dungeon runs with a summary, new zones and green/blue/epic loot, following along during the replay
• Stats: a level-by-level table of time, kills, deaths and quests, plus distance walked and flown
• Alts: see where your other characters are, and show their paths too

Type /rts or click the minimap button to open it. Right-click the button for options.

Download: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/road-to-sixty

Full preview video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2YvRo5EgJY

One tip: it can only record from the moment it's installed, so if you're starting a fresh character, install it first!

I'd love feedback:

Join the Chronicle Discord for news, bugs and help voicing new quests.

I wanted Forever to feel more like a story, so I made Chronicle. Quest givers read their lines out loud, each with a voice that fits them. Dwarves sound like dwarves, the Forsaken sound hollow, and Gordo finally sounds like an abomination. The same NPC always keeps the same voice.

It also keeps a journal. Your finished quests become chapters for each zone, a narrator recaps the story after you hand in a quest, and when you come back to a zone you get a short "previously in…" reminder. Greetings, books, plaques and NPCs shouting around you are voiced too.

There's nothing to set up. Install it from the CurseForge app and the voice packs come with it.

Levels 1 to 30 are fully voiced for both factions, and higher zones are coming.

It's a beta, so I'd love to hear what sounds off.

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/chronicle-voices-of-azeroth

EDIT, Example of quest and narrator:
First part is Executor Arren in Tirisfal giving you a quest, second part is the narrator recapping what you just did. the narrator is a brand new voice that's coming in the next update

every npc gets a voice based on their race and build, so dwarves, orcs, forsaken etc should all sound different.
Watch Chronicle-voice-sample | Streamable

EDIT2:
Disclosure: the voices are AI-generated.
