These WoW: Forever Addons Are Absolute Game Changers

Addons Reviewed

Redcloud reviews addons that can make WoW Forever more convenient without requiring players to use them. Timestamps and CurseForge download links are in the video description.

• Waypoint UI: Adds a 3D-style marker for map waypoints. Markers help players navigate to locations shared in chat, such as rare mobs, or to their own destinations. Share points with Shift-click and remove a marker by right-clicking. Some cosmetic settings may affect performance or navigation.
• Forever Wisp: A leveling guide that provides clear next steps without encouraging speedrunning or min-maxing. The free version covers character levels 1–20 and professions 1–150. The full guide is described as planned to cover levels 1–60 and professions up to 300. It can remind players to gather profession resources while questing and includes a talent-planning feature. Redcloud mentions a 10% discount on the paid guide.
• Plumber: A collection of quality-of-life features, including a customizable break reminder and a cleaner loot window. Its drawer macro lets players place frequently used items in a clickable pop-out. To create it, open /macro, enter #plumber: drawer, and drag items into the drawer. Other features include tracking selected bag and quest items, showing vendor prices, providing quick access to saved outfits, and displaying quest progress on targets. Some interaction features require enabling the interaction key and the relevant game setting.
• BeastCare: Helps hunters monitor a pet’s level, health, experience, training points, happiness, loyalty, and preferred food. It can show the remaining duration of pet-healing spells and provide feeding alerts. Redcloud recommends it for both new and experienced hunters.
• Addon Manager: Shows installed addons and their CPU use, and lets players create profiles for different characters or activities. It can also organize addons and hide dependencies to make the list easier to manage.
• BugSack and BugGrabber: These addons work together to capture and hide error pop-ups that might otherwise disrupt play. Errors can be reviewed, reported, or cleared. Tip: Set the error sound to “none” to avoid repeated alerts.
• ElvUI: A highly customizable interface addon with a WoW Forever-style option and other visual styles. It can adjust action bars, nameplates, unit and boss frames, and cooldown tracking. Redcloud highlights nameplate debuff and interrupt indicators, customizable cooldown and buff reminders, and a cursor ring with a global-cooldown indicator. He praises it for combining modern interface features with a more nostalgic look.
• DFL Dungeon Journal: Organizes dungeon and raid information, including maps, routes, bosses, encounters, loot, abilities, quests, quest prerequisites, locations, and notes.
• CraftProfit Forever: Scans auction-house prices and compares them with profession recipes to estimate potential profits. Players can sort crafts by profitability and see estimated merchant-sale returns. Redcloud cautions against crafting blindly: profits depend on items actually selling, as well as on the scan and addon settings.
