One of my all-time favourites. Attunements are back in WoW.Download on CurseForge
Dungeons and quests
DungeonJournal
Every dungeon with its bosses, loot and all its quests: where they start, where you turn them in, which faction they're for and their chain.
The best addon for this, by far. Trust me and download it, because this is BiS.Download on CurseForge
Full UI
EllesmereUI
A whole modular UI: bars, nameplates, unit frames, quests, bags and more, with a visual editor to move everything. You can import profiles.
The ultimate addon. It feels like playing in 2050. Grab a ready-made profile and tweak it from there.Download on CurseForge
Chat

For the downtime
Best in Deck
A Slay the Spire–style card roguelike in a window inside the game: deck, relics and potions across Azeroth.
For long flights or while you wait for the group at the dungeon. Really hard and really fun.Download on CurseForge
PvP addons
Options with a Forever release and downloads during beta, for duels, BGs and world PvP. Downloads indicate interest, not a guarantee that every feature works in every mode. Selected by Van; features checked against the authors’ pages on Oct 9, 2026, without direct client testing. These recommendations are not attributed to Muchamiel.
Nameplates · players and visible units
Dino Nameplates Forever
A KuiNameplates adaptation specifically for Forever, with downloads during beta. An option for clearer enemy health bars; enable pet and totem nameplates in the game UI.
Use only one nameplate addon at a time to avoid overlapping displays. The Forever version does not guarantee voice alerts or detection of every cooldown.
View and download on CurseForge
Nameplates · Blizzard's, improved
BetterBlizzPlates
The standard Blizzard nameplates with many more features and easy settings: highlight target and focus, class icons, auras and alerts. WoW Forever ready, with millions of downloads.
Pick one: BetterBlizzPlates or Dino Nameplates, not both at once. Open it with /bbp and start from a PvP profile.
View and download on CurseForge
Duels · cast bars
Forever Simple Cast
Cast bars for you, target, focus, pet and nameplates, with display settings. Useful for seeing enemy heals and casts without relying on arena frames.
Position target and focus near the centre. Cast bars are not an instant-spell history or a tracker of every enemy cooldown.
View and download on CurseForge
Warlock · abilities and DoTs
Warlock HUD
A dedicated Forever HUD: target DoTs, Nightfall, Healthstone, racials, buffs and Soul Shards. It does not depend on arena frames.
Open /whud. Adjust the icons and position rows with Edit Mode. Check timers in a duel before competing.
View and download on CurseForge
Duels · target DR
Forever Simple DR
Shows DR on your target and enemy nameplates: next CC at 50%, 25% or immunity, plus reset time. Tracks target, focus and visible nameplates; estimated timings appear grey.
Open /fdr and enable Blizzard data → Turn on. Use /fdr unlock to position the bar. BGs have additional data restrictions; not all timers are exact.
View and download on CurseForge
Gear · swap trinkets
TrinketMenu Forever Edition
A small bar with your two equipped trinkets: hover over it and the ones in your bags pop out so you can swap them with one click. The classic TrinketMenu, rebuilt for Forever.
Swap your PvP trinket or the one on cooldown without opening your character panel or bags.
View and download on CurseForge
Customization · WeakAuras alternative
ForeverAuras
A WeakAuras adaptation for Forever, still under development during beta. Create icon displays and alerts within the information exposed by the client.
Open /fa or /foreverauras. Importing a Classic or Retail aura does not validate it: test its triggers and alerts in Forever.
View and download on CurseForge
Arena frames · check the mode
Gladius Reloaded
A file is tagged Forever. The author advertises DR, casts, trinkets and cooldowns, but it is designed around arena frames: duel and BG support is not confirmed here.
For duels, start with Forever Simple DR and target/focus bars. Do not install Gladius expecting it to automatically show a duel opponent.
View and download on CurseForgeRecommended duel setup
Warlock: Warlock HUD + Forever Simple DR. Add ForeverAuras if you want to customize other alerts. Always download the file tagged Forever and test the combination in duels before the tournament.
Nameplates: enemy pets and totems
Without an addon: Esc → Options and search for nameplates. Enable Enemy Nameplates, Enemy Pets, Enemy Totems and Always Show Nameplates if available. Stacking Nameplates separates the bars. V toggles enemy nameplates with default keybindings.
If the checkboxes are missing, try these Blizzard settings in chat, one at a time. These are UI settings; they have not been tested directly in this beta.
/console nameplateShowEnemies 1
/console nameplateShowEnemyPets 1
/console nameplateShowEnemyTotems 1
/console nameplateShowAll 1
/console nameplateMotion 1These options show bars, not voice alerts or cooldowns. Automatic Tremor/Grounding and enemy spell detection requires checking what the Forever API allows. ForeverTotems manages the shaman’s own totems, not the opponent’s.
Blizzard settings referenceHow to install them
- With the CurseForge app: pick WoW Forever, search for the addon and install it. They update themselves.
- Manually: download the Forever .zip and unzip it into the
Interface\AddOnsfolder of your WoW Forever install. - In game, open the AddOn list on the character screen. If one shows as out of date, tick "Load out of date AddOns".

More recommended addons for Forever
More add-ons for WoW Forever on top of the ones above: the usual essentials that already have a Forever build, plus a few new ones made for this client. We checked each download page for a file tagged "Forever" (as of 30 October 2026). The ones marked beta work, but they still change often. Always install the Forever file, not the Classic or Retail one. How to install them: the easiest way is the CurseForge app: pick World of Warcraft, then the Forever version, search for the addon and click Install; it also keeps them updated. By hand: download the .zip, unzip it into the Interface\AddOns folder of your Forever install and restart the game. WowUp works too (it runs fine with Forever): it installs CurseForge and Wago addons from a single app.
Must-haves
| CurseForge (app) | Not an add-on but the app that installs them and keeps them updated. Pick WoW Forever in the game list and it puts everything in the right folder (forever\Interface\AddOns). Add-ons dropped into the Retail or Classic folder won't show up in game. Works in Forever |
|---|---|
| WowUp | Addon manager: installs and updates CurseForge and Wago addons from a single app. Works with Forever. Works in Forever |
| Questie | The classic quest helper: it shows on the map where each quest starts, where it's turned in and where the objectives are, plus a tracker and your party's progress in tooltips. The client already shows objectives on the map, but Questie also points you to quests you haven't picked up yet. For anyone leveling. Works in Forever |
| Details! | The most popular damage and healing meter: how much everyone in the group does, who takes the most hits and plenty of views to dig into after each fight. The client has a simple built-in meter; Details! is for players who want more depth or to compare in dungeons and raids. It has a Forever version, but there are reports that Forever limits the combat log for addons: check it in game. Unconfirmed |
| Leatrix Plus | Dozens of small quality-of-life tweaks for the Blizzard UI in one add-on: auto-sell junk and auto-repair, a farther camera, hiding clutter, map and chat improvements. Every option is a separate toggle (/ltp). Good for everyone. Works in Forever |
Auction house and gold
| Auctionator | Makes the auction house far easier: prices in every item tooltip, a full scan to keep them current, shopping lists and a warning before you post something too cheap. If you buy or sell at the AH, install this first. Works in Forever |
|---|---|
| ForeverProfit | Built for Forever on top of Auctionator prices: it ranks your recipes by profit (after the auction house cut), builds a craft queue and sends the shopping list to Auctionator. A leveling mode shows the cheapest recipes per skill point. Requires Auctionator. Works in Forever |
| CraftProfit Forever | The no-extra-windows option: it shows each recipe's cost and profit right inside the regular profession window. Prices come from its own auction house scan (Auctionator is optional and still untested), and if you scan on a bank character you see those prices on your crafters. Open it with /cf. Pick this or ForeverProfit, not both. Tested in the beta |
UI, bags and frames
| Baganator | All your bags in one window, either as a single list or split into categories (weapons, consumables, quest items…). Search items across the bags and bank of all your characters. The modern pick for a tidy inventory. Works in Forever |
|---|---|
| Bagnon | The long-standing one-bag add-on: it merges every bag into one window and lets you check the bank and your alts' inventory from anywhere. Pick Bagnon or Baganator, not both. Works in Forever |
| MiniCE (Minimalist Cooldown Edge) | Shows the seconds left on every ability and item cooldown, with your choice of font, colors and edges. OmniCC has no Forever build yet; this replacement does. Useful for everyone, especially in PvP. Works in Forever |
| tullaCTC | Another cooldown-text option from the author of OmniCC: font, colors, tenths of a second near the end and MM:SS format (/tullaCTC). Install this or MiniCE, not both. Works in Forever |
| Plater | Highly customizable nameplates: threat coloring, your debuffs on each enemy, cast bars and ready-made profiles to import. Great for tanks and anyone juggling several enemies. Run only one nameplate add-on. Works in Forever |
| ClassicUI Forever | For players who miss the 2004 look: it brings back Classic-style player, target and party frames, the round minimap and cast bars, module by module (/fcui). Still in alpha, so expect some visual glitches. Tested in the beta |
| OpenMap | Turns the world map into one seamless map with the original art: zoom with the mouse wheel and drag to move, no more hopping zone by zone. It shows boat and zeppelin routes, flight masters (learned ones in color) with travel time between two, dungeon entrances with their levels, and your group. Works with Questie. Open it with /openmap. Disable other map add-ons first (Leatrix Maps, Mapster, Magnify). First release, so expect rough edges. Tested in the beta |
Combat
| Does It Die (DoesItDie) | The skull one: it marks on your target's health bar (and nameplate) how much damage your DoTs still have left, and when that's enough to kill it a skull appears. Stop spending mana on that enemy and move on. Made for Forever; works with Plater, EllesmereUI and other nameplates. Settings with /did. It doesn't count proc DoTs (Deep Wounds, Ignite, poisons) or healing on the target. Great for Warlocks, Shadow Priests, Druids and Hunters. Works in Forever |
|---|---|
| Dot Ledger | A small countdown bar for every DoT, bleed, poison or crowd control you have on each visible enemy, so you know when to refresh it. It reads your spells from the spellbook, works for every class and turns red in the last five seconds. Forever only, in beta. Tested in the beta |
| ThreatClassic2 | The classic threat meter, with a Forever file (the "forever" build): one bar per group member with their threat on your target, so you know how close you are to pulling the mob off the tank (110% in melee, 130% at range). Forever already has its own indicator (search "Threat" in Options: Aggro Display); this is for seeing everyone's numbers. For DPS, tanks, and hunters or warlocks who tank with their pet. Works in Forever |
| ForeverThreat - Threat Meter for WoW Forever | An Omen-style threat meter made for Forever: live group or raid threat, tank detection, a warning before you pull aggro, and your focus can be the threat source. It includes Spanish text. It's the most downloaded of the ones made for Forever. According to the authors of add-ons like this, the game hides the numbers on some enemies (bosses); when that happens the meter can only sort the group. Use just one: this or ThreatClassic2. Works in Forever |
| ProcDoc | Big alerts in the middle of the screen, with sound and a countdown, whenever something you should react to procs: Warrior Overpower or Revenge, Rogue Riposte, Clearcasting, Shadow Trance… It works out of the box; with /pd you move it, resize it, change the art and add your own procs or missing-buff reminders (Slice and Dice, for example). In combat it reads Blizzard's Cooldown Manager, because Forever hides buff details from add-ons during combat. Works in Forever |
Leveling
| RestedXP Guide | Step-by-step in-game guide: which quest to do, where to go and in what order, with an arrow and auto-accept. The add-on is free and covers the first levels; the full route is paid, and the higher Forever levels are still being written. For players who want to level fast without planning a route. Works in Forever |
|---|---|
| Wayfinder Forever | A free leveling guide made for Forever: steps for the starting zones (Zephras Isle included) and the first 20 levels, one step at a time. You can write your own guides, share them as text or record your route as you play (/wf options). Very new, so it only covers the early levels for now. Tested in the beta |
Loot and gear
| AtlasLoot Classic Forever | Loot tables for every dungeon and raid boss, world drops and best-in-slot lists by class, spec and Forever phase, also shown in item tooltips. Open it with /al. Handy for deciding which dungeon to farm. Works in Forever |
|---|---|
| Lootwise | A loot browser built for Forever, new dungeons included: what each boss drops, quest and reputation rewards, wishlists that alert you when you enter the dungeon and a profession planner using auction prices. Very new; the data is still filling in. Tested in the beta |
| ItemRack TBC Classic & Forever | Swap gear in one click: save sets (PvP, tank, fishing…) and get buttons next to your frame to swap trinkets, boots or other pieces without opening the character window. In combat only weapons can be swapped: anything else is queued and swapped the moment you leave combat. Great in PvP for rotating on-use trinkets or engineering boots. Settings with /itemrack opt. Works in Forever |

Addons that guide you quest by quest
A route addon tells you which quest to pick up, where to turn it in and which zone to head to next, step by step with an arrow. That's different from Questie, which only marks quests on the map. Forever changed a lot of quests and added new zones, so Classic routes don't work as they are. As of October 30, no guide has a tested 30-60 Forever route, because the beta stopped at level 30. Here's what works today and what's still missing.
| Questie Free. | Shows on the map and minimap where quests are, who to turn them in to and where the objectives are. It doesn't give you an order or a route. Works in Forever It has worked on the Forever client since late September and gets updates almost every week: it already has Forever data, Zephras Isle fixes and the new dungeons in its journal. Even so, some new Forever quests are still missing or misplaced. Many route addons rely on it, so it's worth keeping installed. |
|---|---|
| Polestar Guides Free and open source. | A guide addon built just for Forever: 1-60 routes for every race and faction, an arrow that follows real paths, a travel planner, class quest guides, professions 1-300, reputations and a dungeon journal. Available in Spanish. Tested in the beta Covers Zephras Isle (the Skyborne starting zone). Its own authors say it's in beta and that routes were tested in a simulator, not played on Forever. The new 30-60 content (Riverglades, Shen'dralas, Mount Hyjal) isn't in its data yet; they plan to add it after launch. |
| RestedXP Guides The addon is free and includes the starter routes for free (roughly up to level 20-22, Zephras Isle included). The full Forever guide is paid: about $30 per faction or $45 for both, according to affiliate sites. Check the price in their store. | A polished step-by-step guide built for fast leveling: arrow, steps that complete on their own, routes with or without dungeons, and reminders for trainers and hearthstone. Works in Forever It's the furthest along on Forever: its own routes up to about level 35 plus a dungeon guide. From 35 to 60 it uses Classic routes for now, which skip the new zones; Forever routes for that range come after launch, with no date. Updated almost daily. |
| Zygor Guides Paid, through the Elite subscription: $15 a month or $40 every three months (prices from their site). | A full in-game guide: 1-60 route, arrow, dungeons, professions and travel. The best known of the paid ones. Tested in the beta The Forever guides arrive on launch day, not during the beta. They promise routes through the new zones (Zephras Isle, Riverglades, Shen'dralas, Mount Hyjal, Dalaran) and nine new dungeons, but warn that the 1-60 may be incomplete at first because of the beta's level cap. |
| Guidelime Free (both the addon and the community packs). | A guide reader: it shows the list of steps, marks them on the map and adds an arrow. Routes aren't included: you install community guide packs separately. It also comes with an editor to write your own guide. Tested in the beta It has supported Forever since version 6.000 (September 24) and its page says full support is coming. Coverage depends on the pack you install: some cover the starting zones and up to level 30, written during the beta, with 30-60 still to come. Best used together with Questie. |
| WoW-Pro Guides Free. | Step-by-step guides made by volunteers, with an arrow and steps that tick off on their own. Includes leveling and dungeon routes. Tested in the beta It has a Forever version and new Zephras Isle guides (1-12, both factions). The rest of the 12-60 routes are adapted Classic ones and don't go through Riverglades, Shen'dralas or Mount Hyjal, so they may break further along. |
| Joana's Guides Unknown: the CurseForge download doesn't list a price. | An in-game leveling guide with steps that advance on their own and a minimap arrow. Works in Forever It has a Forever file (October 9), but it only covers the starting zones, levels 1-12. It's unclear whether it includes Zephras Isle or anything past level 12. |
| TourGuide Unknown. | A classic leveling guide addon, one of the first ever made for WoW. Unconfirmed We couldn't find a Forever version or any recent updates. Better not to count on it. |
Our advice: Our pick today: always Questie, plus a route guide. If you don't want to pay, use RestedXP's free starter routes for the first levels (the most tested route from the beta) and Polestar after that, which is also available in Spanish. If you want a paid guide, RestedXP has the most Forever-specific route written right now; Zygor can't be judged until it comes out on November 4. None of them is ready for 35-60 yet: in the new zones, rely on Questie and the in-game map until they catch up.
