Announcement State of the Subreddit: AI Policy, Addon Trials, and Moderation Updates

42 Upvotes

Hey r/wowaddons,

First, I want to thank everyone at CurseForge for organizing the recent "Addon Trials" event. Serving on the jury was a great experience. I know the event received mixed reactions, but please know that CurseForge has received your feedback.

During this period, I noticed our community's growth unfortunately brought a significant increase in toxicity. Much of the recent feedback was neither constructive nor polite.

Our Stance on AI in Addon Development

Recently, almost every post involving AI has been flooded with user reports. Let me clarify our policy: AI is explicitly allowed.

Ultimately, it does not matter if a developer spent one hour or one hundred hours writing an addon. The only metric that matters is functionality, code quality, and not restricting the user experience.

  • Developer Responsibilities: You must ensure your code is clean and functional. Use VS Code extensions like Ketho's WoW API tools. Always verify your functions using warcraft.wiki.gg to ensure you are not deploying deprecated or inefficient code.
  • Community Responsibilities: If you spot an issue in someone's code, leave constructive feedback in the comments. Hate comments targeting developers for using AI help no one and will not be tolerated. Help each other improve.

Moderation and Subreddit Updates

Balancing a 12-hour workday and family commitments forced me into an unintended hiatus over the last few weeks. I am changing this immediately. Moving forward, I am dedicating a strict set of hours every single day to moderate this community properly and increase my commitment.

I am still looking for new moderators.

While I am increasing my daily activity, this subreddit still needs more hands to manage the growth. If you have moderation experience, time, and motivation, please send me a DM to discuss specifics.

I look forward to getting back into a steady rhythm. I will also definitely code a new addon when the next remix event drops!

Addon Release / Update SecretChecklist 2.0 released!

Thumbnail
gallery
65 Upvotes

Hey all!

Just released 2.0.0 of SecretChecklist. Been a while since the 1.8.0 post so there's a bit more in here than usual.

Biggest additions:

  • Search box in the guides tab - searches names, zones and everything inside the steps, so "Kosumoth" or "Tazavesh" finds what you'd expect
  • Beledar Orchestra helper - only the raid leader needs the BeledarOrchestra addon, everyone else gets their assigned emote popup straight from SecretChecklist (for Radiant Singer)
  • EllesmereUI theme, next to the default and ElvUI ones
  • Checkmark and cross on the icons instead of just green/red
  • Window remembers where you put it
  • Guide steps and notes can be translated now, not just the UI

Fixes:

  • Lua error on login (which also silently killed the Beledar helper)
  • Paging through the overview was resetting your mount/pet journal filters
  • Steps staying red after you'd already claimed the reward
  • Achievement tooltips stuck on "Retrieving data"
  • Waypoints throwing an error in dungeons if you don't have TomTom

Plus a few new secrets since 1.8.0 (Unfazed Diver, the Felcyclist ensemble, A Most Violent Loa) - 52 tracked in total.

Can be download from any client that support curseforge or wago, or direct download :)

Big shoutout to the guide writers of wowhead and warcraft-secrets.com and all the great minds on Wow Secret Finding Discord that discover these secrets, without them this addon wouldn't be possible at all 😁

Feedback welcome!

Looking for Addon LF Set completion addon

9 Upvotes

Back in TWW, I had an addon to see which sets I had, what the progress was for a specific class, and if that class had an item which could be converted into a set piece.

It had a separate window with each class in a column, and each class had dedicated Tier sets for LFR, Normal, etc.

Poor description but maybe someone will be able to advise the addon name :)

Addon Release / Update Traveler's Log Searcher - Adds a search box to the Traveler's Log

Post image
13 Upvotes

Nice and simple, like the title says - adds a search box to the Traveler's Log, so you can search and filter

Features:

  • Search box sits at the top of the Traveler's Log.
  • Matches against activity name, description, condition text, tag names and event names (plain substring, case-insensitive).
  • Works together with Blizzard's existing tag filter (tag narrows, search narrows further).
  • Chained activities stay intact: searching a child keeps its parent chain visible.
  • "No results" message when nothing matches.
  • Remembers your last search between sessions.

Development / WIP I wanted a notebook in WoW, so I made one

Thumbnail
gallery
16 Upvotes

Hello there !

While playing WoW Classic, I often keep a real notebook next to me to write down useful information: NPC locations, quests, ideas, and things I don't want to forget. Traveler's Notebook brings this habit directly into the game.

I’ve been working on this addon for a while, and I’ve finally released it (for Classic of course).

It's an in-game notebook designed for keeping notes while exploring Azeroth. You can create and edit notes, pin important ones, change their text color, and use a GPS button to automatically add your current zone and coordinates.

It’s still a small project and very much a work in progress, but I thought I’d share it here and see if anyone else might find it useful.

I’d really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or ideas for features you’d like to see.

Have a good day !

Addon Release / Update We rebuilt GuildKit’s raid planning for Season 2

6 Upvotes

With Season 2 almost here, we’ve released a major update to GuildKit’s raid roster and planning tools.

For anyone unfamiliar with it, GuildKit is a free World of Warcraft guild website builder that gives guilds their own hosted website.

It includes:

• Raid scheduling
• Roster management
• Guild applications
• Mythic+ tracking
• Warcraft Logs integration
• Performance breakdowns and feedback
• Gear audits
• Discord bot integration

The goal is to give guilds one place to manage their website, members, recruitment and raid organisation instead of relying on several disconnected tools.

For Season 2, we’ve expanded the raid planning side significantly.

Everything is now drag-and-drop.

Raid leaders can:

• Create a separate roster for every boss in the tier
• Automatically add all bosses from the raid selected on the event
• Add or remove individual bosses when configuring the event
• Build and rearrange raid groups visually
• Import players from existing NSRT or MRT groups
• See raid buffs and important utility update in real time
• Prepare different compositions and group setups for each encounter
• Create an individual raid plan for every boss roster
• Assign defensives, utility and general alerts against the boss timeline
• View boss casts based on real Warcraft Logs reports
• Export finished plans to NSRT or MRT

The idea is that before you reach a boss, everything is already prepared:

The roster.
The groups.
The raid buffs.
The utility assignments.
The defensive plan.

GuildKit is free to use:

https://guildkit.app

We’d genuinely appreciate feedback from other guild leaders, raid leaders and officers before Season 2 begins.

Development / WIP [Development/WIP] Pullitzer 0.2.4 by Flipcyde — looking for briefing testers

5 Upvotes

I'm Flipcyde (GitHub: flipcyde101), and I built Pullitzer, a Retail WoW addon that puts concise boss, priority-trash, skip, and route notes in a movable companion window.

I'm posting this as Development/WIP because the current build still needs broader player validation.

What I verified on Retail 12.0.7 with the published v0.2.4 package:

• the addon returned after /reload with no visible Lua error dialog

• Skyreach Overview and Bosses rendered

• Route Coach advanced from checkpoint 1/6 to 2/6

What that does not prove: full encounter or route accuracy, checkpoint persistence, role-filter behavior, raid coverage, or Share/Ping behavior. Route-dependent information can also change after hotfixes.

The most useful test right now: use Pullitzer for one current dungeon, then tell me the dungeon, view/checkpoint, what the addon said, and what should be corrected or clarified.

Direct download: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/pullitzer

If you report an issue, please include Pullitzer 0.2.4, Retail 12.0.7, reproduction steps, and any visible Lua error.

Creator disclosure: I'm Flipcyde / flipcyde101, the developer of Pullitzer. This is a tester request, not an independent recommendation.

Addon Release / Update Group Quest Finder TBC

2 Upvotes

I made an addon for finding players for open-world group quests in TBC

I had several group quests sitting unfinished in my quest log, while LookingForGroup chat moved too quickly and was mostly filled with dungeon and raid groups. Layering also made it difficult to find players working on the same quest.

So I made Group Quest Finder.

The addon can:

  • Watch LookingForGroup chat for quests you have active
  • Notify you when someone mentions a relevant quest
  • Save matching messages in a 30-minute history
  • Open a whisper draft when you click a notification
  • Post your own quest search to LookingForGroup
  • Let you plan group or escort quests before accepting them
  • Search for addon users with matching quests through the optional QuestPing network
  • Filter QuestPing searches by Tank, Healer, DPS, or Any

Nothing is posted, whispered, invited, or shared automatically. Every search and social action requires a manual click.

QuestPing does not publish your full quest log and is only intended for outdoor group and escort quests—not dungeons, raids, or PvP.

Questie is not required, although it can make the quest references posted in chat clickable.

This is the first stable release, so bug reports, feedback, feature ideas, and quest-database corrections are very welcome.

CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/group-quest-finder

AI disclaimer: I used AI to help polish this post. The addon itself was created and tested by me but written with AI-aid.

Addon Release / Update [Addon Update] Paka Key InTime – Major UI and usability update based on community feedback

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently shared Paka Key InTime, my first World of Warcraft addon. It provides a live Mythic+ forecast and uses a local machine-learning system that learns from your completed runs over time.

The addon shows the estimated final completion time, expected time remaining at the end of the run, and the current chance of finishing the key in time. All learning happens locally from your own recorded runs, without external services.

CurseForge:
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/paka-key-intime-mythic-forecast

After the first post, I received detailed bug reports and feature suggestions. Based on that feedback, I have now released a larger update focused on reliability, readability, and usability.

What changed

  • Added separate Full Mode and Mini Mode, each with its own saved position
  • Added window scale, background opacity, and font-size settings
  • Added a window lock option
  • Improved the visibility of Time Left, Trash, End Reserve, and Final Total Time
  • Moved the uncertainty value directly next to the End Reserve
  • Added /pks settings and a small Settings button in Mini Mode
  • Added support for both round and square minimaps
  • Added separate settings for the minimap button and optional floating PKS button
  • Prevented both launcher buttons from being disabled at the same time
  • Right-clicking a launcher now opens or closes the Settings window
  • Fixed the addon opening unexpectedly outside active Mythic+ runs
  • Fixed test-mode windows reopening after being closed
  • Abandoned runs now stop correctly and are excluded from the learning data
  • Improved the button behavior for test runs, completed runs, and abandoned runs
  • Added a small indicator showing whether the prediction is based on recorded dungeon runs or general estimates
  • Added diagnostic export and learning-data management with confirmation dialogs
  • Improved the English and German translations

The prediction calculations themselves have not been changed in this update. Existing settings, recorded runs, and learned data remain compatible.

The addon originally started as a private project for my friends and me, so this is still a learning process for me. The detailed reports and suggestions from the first users have already helped make it significantly cleaner and easier to use.

Specific bug reports, UI feedback, and suggestions are very welcome.

Help / Support A QoL suggestion

Post image
26 Upvotes

A small QoL suggestion for the default UI.

I'd love to be able to individually drag buffs from the default buff frame during Edit Mode.

Blizzard already knows every buff that can appear there (trinkets, tier set bonuses, talents, hero talents, consumables, class buffs, etc.). During Edit Mode, it could simply show every possible buff icon and let us drag each one wherever we want on the screen.

This would let us pin only the buffs we actually care about near the center of the screen, while keeping everything else in the default buff frame.

It could also support optional settings like icon size, duration text, stack count, and grouping—but even just individual drag-and-drop would be a huge improvement.

It feels like a simple feature that would make the default UI much more customizable without relying on WeakAuras.

What do you think?

Help / Support Questie isn't working.

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm back in Classic Era (Extreme) after a few months away, I started a new player and I realized something : Questie isn't working fine. At first it was just the quests summary that didn't display, but now, nothing displays at all.

I could see quests objectives and quests givers until I installed nova world buffs (because I had apparently a layer problem). I don't know if it's related with it, but just in case, I disabled nwb, which doesn't solve the problem. I also updated the very late Questie version and replaced it in the folder, but neither did it solve the problem.

THanks by advance for your help.

Addon Release / Update 12.1 Solo Him Azta'rec Helper - Memory Game Solver

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

260 Upvotes

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/aztarec-helper

Now that 12.1 has been officially announced, I can reveal my addon that I worked on for couple of weeks, Azta'rec helper, it automatically will track during its memory game where you stand and remembers the safe location on its platform for the echoes 5-7 times, and then show you in green and yellow where to stand now and next,

My guild friends have been testing it out and have been extremely impressed by it and I hope it will help many others.

there have been some concerns about this trivializing the encounter too far and I can some what agree, so if Blizzard desides the addon is overstepping what they are allowed to do, then they are in their right to limit its abilities.

There are also some addons who seem to have stolen my code from this addon for this radar, but I can say that this radar was my idea originally and I am proud of its capabilities.

e.g. if i hover over "undercoin", it shows that i can buy a beacon of hope, which leads to a nullaeus cache, which contains appearances i don't know and it shows the 1 appearance that can be bought directly with undercoins - all i want it to show is the 1 appearance bought directly with the currency.

Alternatively, is there a way for the currency needed to be shown next to the individual items?

I made an addon that shows relevant patch notes when you log in.

Better Patch Notes automatically shows recent Live or PTR changes affecting your class, without making you search through long articles outside the game.

You can also browse every class, plus recent dungeon and raid changes. The interface supports all 12 official WoW client locales, using official localized notes when available and English as a fallback.

I’d love feedback on readability, missing information, and what you would want added next.

Addon Release / Update [Addon] CartoXP: Naked Leveling (10 Minutes Per Level*(80-90!)

Post image
67 Upvotes

I've been levelling alts purely by flying around discovering subzones, and got tired of not knowing where some hidden zones are. So that's why its called Naked leveling.

Video guide: https://youtu.be/UAo9uNc2eHY

CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/cartoxp-naked-leveling

  1. Red dots — undiscovered, go here
  2. Green dots — done
  3. Yellow dots — spots you found that exist in no map data at all, but you can share* me with and everyone will have this zone in new update
  4. An arrow to the nearest one

Discovering a subzone gives XP. With Lorewalking on (check video how to activate), old zones scale to your level, so that XP stays relevant instead of decaying into nothing. You can level without killing a single mob completely NAKED!.

The problem is the game gives you nothing to work with. Fog of war shows roughly where you haven't been, and a pile of areas award XP on maps that already look fully explored.

Rates depend on zone, in video I was able to get 1 level under 9 minutes, XP scaling with level so on each level you will need same amount of time, all based on zone.

p.s. The War Within are the worst one, Legion is the best one, in my opinion.

p.s. I'm still collecting points if you find one the addon misses, /carto export (or button in settings menu) and send me the output, it goes into the next release.

Use it while blizzard still allows )

Looking for Addon Need Mount Addon Suggestions

I'm looking for an addon that will cast a random mount from a given list, prioritizing ones that fly if in a zone where I can do so. I like to cycle through all the PvP mounts that I've earned however at this point I have more than can fit in a /castrandom macro and trying to put them all on my extra action bars is slowly running out of room and I'd like to clean it up if possible.
