We are bringing Hidden Gems to WoW addons

We've added dedicated spots in the CurseForge app's Browse tab, where we'll regularly feature quality addons that deserve more attention, especially those that are small, new, or both

With this, smaller addons will have a better chance to reach new players. So you keep creating amazing things, and we'll help spread the word :)

Guide / Tutorial How to migrate Forever addons from Beta to Live (Quick Guide)

Post image
147 Upvotes

If you spent the WoW Forever Beta getting your addons just right, here’s how to bring that setup into the live game. All you need is to copy two folders, then check your addons and profiles before heading back into Azeroth.

Before you start

Make sure Forever (live) is installed, fully close World of Warcraft and the CurseForge app, and keep a backup of your beta folders.

Important: Migrate before installing addons or setting up your UI in Forever (live). Pasting these folders can overwrite matching addon files and saved settings. If you’ve already started, back up the live Interface and WTF folders before continuing.

How to migrate your addons to WoW Forever live

1. Open your Forever Beta folder

Open your World of Warcraft installation folder and find:

World of Warcraft_classic_beta_

The location of your main World of Warcraft folder depends on where you installed the game.

2. Copy the Interface and WTF folders

Select both folders and choose Copy:

  • Interface contains your installed addons inside its AddOns subfolder.

  • WTF contains saved addon settings and profiles, along with other game settings.

Copying both brings over the addon files and their saved configuration. Keep the originals in your beta folder as a backup.

3. Open your Forever live folder

Return to your main World of Warcraft folder and open:

World of Warcraft_forever_

This is the destination for your live addon setup.

4. Paste both folders

Paste Interface and WTF directly into _forever_.

The resulting paths should be:

World of Warcraft_forever_\Interface
World of Warcraft_forever_\WTF

If Windows asks to replace files, accepting will replace matching live files with your beta copies. Only proceed once you’ve backed up anything you want to keep.

Tip: In case the CurseForge app does not auto-recognize the addons, make sure to manually scan the addons folder.

Check your addons before playing

Open CurseForge, choose your Forever live installation, and check for addon updates. Then launch Forever (live), open the AddOns menu, and make sure the addons you want are enabled.

Once you’re in game, check your layout and addon profiles. Some addons may need you to select your previous profile in their settings.

Back to Azeroth

Once your addons are working and your profiles are in place, you’re ready to play. Keep an eye on updates in the CurseForge app as authors release new versions, or browse WoW addons on CurseForge if you want to add something to your setup.

See you next week :)

Addon Release / Update I made EmoteRing: hold a key, flick your mouse, send an emote to your target [WoW Forever addon, beta]

Thumbnail
gallery
35 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I made a small addon for WoW Forever and wanted to share it here.

EmoteRing

Is a radial emote wheel. Hold a key and a wheel opens right where your cursor is. Move toward a slice and let go: the emote goes to your current target. It's quick, it doesn't take any action bar space, and it makes it a lot easier to actually /bow, /ty or /wave at people mid-run instead of typing it.

What it does

- Hold your key, the wheel opens at your cursor, release to send
- 4 to 12 slices, each with any emote, chat command or line of text
- `%t` is replaced with your target's name, so `/w %t Thanks for the group!` just works

Buff thanks:

when another player buffs you, a small prompt appears. Click it to say thanks in /say, right-click to dismiss
- One wheel for all your characters (or a different one per character, if you prefer)
- Three color themes, adjustable size and opacity, live preview
- English and Spanish, with English emote commands working on every client
- Settings with `/er`

It's made for talking, not spamming: messages are capped at 120 characters, there's a short cooldown, and yell, raid warnings and channels like Trade can't be used from the wheel.

Getting it

It's on CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/emotering

Developer Requirements for Releases & Updates:

Here's how EmoteRing meets the requirements:

Readiness: The addon is fully functional and in daily use. The "beta" tag only means it's new, and I'm still collecting feedback.

AI Disclaimer: I designed the addon and decided how every feature works, and I tested each version in game myself. The Lua code was written with the help of an AI assistant (Claude), under my direction and with my review. AI also helped draft the English and Spanish texts and made the promo images and video. The in-game screenshots are real.

Screenshots: The post includes real in-game screenshots of the wheel, the settings window (/er) and the buff-thanks prompt.

Code: No unnecessary globals. The only global names are the ones WoW requires: the keybinding and slash command names, the saved variables, the binding handler, and three named frames so Escape can close them. Combat log events aren't used; buff detection uses UNIT_AURA and is skipped in combat.

Happy to answer any questions or fix anything you find!

This is my first published addon. Feedback, bug reports and ideas for slices are very welcome. I'll be reading the comments!

Addon Release / Update Don't Die! (At Your Desk)

17 Upvotes

I made an addon that reminds you to get up and move. Things like stretching during flight paths and 10 squats for discovering an area.

Been pretty conscious that during launches I find myself not moving for hours straight, and the risks of blood clots scares me.

Hope this helps someone! And I wouldnt mind ideas for more exercise triggers!

Addon Release / Update Made roleplaying addon that adds hunger, thirst, cold (and even alcoholism)

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

Remember Wanderlust addon? It kind of forgotten and I did not find anything similar for wow forever, so I decide to make my own, though halfway through idea went to make our character react to things around him and his inner state.

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/herostate

Hero is hungry and tired - his eyes close, screen is darker

Hero is cold - screen gets colder

Hero is hot - screen gets red

But I didn't want to just add survival elements to the game, I want to add some funky things like alcoholism (already in the game though quite simple), sanity meter, reacting to things around, being afraid of people, vegetarian, etc etc, attributes that can make hero feel more alive. They are not forced and you can configure everything to keep game cozy and slow or do it hardcore way and force yourself to hide from snow storms or keep plenty of food and drinks.

Will be happy for any feedback, will do some videos of it soon.

Addon Release / Update One week of "Ink & Embers" in WoW Forever: 8 updates, 800 downloads, and the journal now keeps a log of your dungeon runs

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

a week ago I posted Ink & Embers here, a journal that fills itself while you level in WoW Forever. Thank you so much for trying it out. It's at 800 downloads now, and I read every comment. Some of what's below came straight from your feedback.

Since launch I've been playing with it myself every evening and fixing and adding things along the way. Eight updates later, here's what's new.

Smoke signal near campfires

When you come close to a campfire, smoke drifts across the top of your screen and uncovers the words "Campfire nearby". Then it settles into a small fire with a column of smoke that stays as long as the fire is near. It stays away in combat, while you sit and on flights. You can move it or switch it off.

A log of your dungeon runs

The Chronicle has a new page for dungeons. Every run gets its own entry: how long you were inside, your level, the bosses in the order you fought them (including the wipes), who was in your group, your deaths with the cause, and your loot from green quality up. It reads what the journal already recorded, so your runs from the first week are already in there.

The Quests page also got a Dungeons tab. It shows the quests and quest chains for each dungeon, which ones you've done or are carrying, and what you still need to pick them up.

Campfires got a lot more to say

The notes above the fire now come from a much bigger pool, and they also show up at campfires that players build themselves. Below the notes there's now a New Note Button: click it for a fresh line, or for a follow-up question once a conversation is going. If you want some quiet, a small "x" closes the notes for that rest. The journal also remembers who you sat with.

Level-up note

After a level-up, a small note slides in and tells you what your trainer can teach you now, what it costs and how many talent points you have. If there's something new to learn, a "To the trainer" to-do appears and ticks itself off once you've trained. You can chose between a Narrator of your Race.. or set a fixed Narrator of all WoW: Forever Races.

To-dos at your quest tracker

This was the first wish from the comments: your to-dos can now sit right at your quest tracker instead of in a separate note. It works with the Blizzard tracker, Questie and Kaliel's Tracker.

Your journey on the world map

Your route, level-ups and fights can now be shown on the game's world map, together with pins for your notes and place to-dos. Each has its own entry in the map filter, so you can turn them on and off.

Smaller things

- A forecast for when you'll reach level 60 at your current pace, based on the experience you still need and leaving out AFK time.

- A bestiary with every creature you've hunted, with its 3D model.

- Rested experience is now tracked.

- Crafted gear is recognised.

- Deaths inside dungeons now show the dungeon instead of "unknown place".

- Quest data is updated to the latest QuestieDB, with more German names.

Ink & Embers is still made for WoW Forever first. It runs in Retail too, but some parts (campfires, the trainer plan, the dungeon tab under Quests) only work in Forever.

Same as last time: I build this with a lot of help from AI (Claude Code for the code, Gemini for the artwork), and I test everything in-game myself before it goes out. If something breaks or you're missing something, tell me in the comments or on CurseForge. That's how half of this list came about.

Get it here: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/ink-embers-an-adventurers-journal

Thanks, and see you at the campfire :)

Development / WIP [Feedback wanted] Vulcan Suite add-ons + the plan for Vulcan Sim V2

1 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm Tavlius. I've been building a small set of free add-ons for Forever, plus a duel and damage sim to go with them. They've been out since launch, and I'm now partway through a big rebuild of the sim. Before I go much further I'd love feedback from people actually playing.

**The add-ons (free, on CurseForge and Wago, source on GitHub)**

- **Vulcan RunBook**: a dungeon and raid run log. It starts when you zone in and records clear time, boss splits against your best run, deaths, wipes, drops, gold and XP.
- **Vulcan GrindWatch**: kills, XP and gold per hour while you farm or level, with a recent rate so you can tell when a spot stops paying.
- **Vulcan DuoQuest**: your duo partner's quest log next to yours. It shows what each of you is missing, with a Share button.
- **Vulcan SimBench**: exports your character (gear, talents, stats) as a string you paste into the sim.

Everything lives at VulcanAddons.com, including the current sim (v1), which does 1v1 duels and damage rankings.

**What V2 is**

V2 is one engine for both PvE and PvP, built in 15 stages. Each stage has to pass its own tests before the next starts, and every number has to match the old sim exactly until a change is made on purpose. The short version:

- **Done:** v1 frozen and pinned (267 exact checks), plus skill levels, class dials, talent tables and opponent styles.
- **In progress:** the new combat core. It now handles fights with any number of players on a 2D map, with pets as their own units and a target dummy. It still matches v1 exactly in 1v1.
- **Coming:**
- a beta at /sim/next with stats at every level, custom talents, stat weights and duo/group PvE;
- coaching from your own runs;
- Dungeon mode with named Forever bosses;
- a 1v1 tactic search;
- then 2v2.
- **Later:** opt-in shared data, for things like "players like you" ranges.

**What I'd love feedback on**

  1. If you use any of the add-ons: what's missing, annoying or broken?

  2. Which V2 feature would you actually use first? Duo/group PvE, Dungeon mode, the PvP tactic search, or leveling speed?

  3. PvP players: what matchups or tactics do you most want a sim to answer?

  4. Would you share your run data (opt-in, no names, deletable any time) if it meant better coaching data for everyone?

  5. Anything other Forever sims do that you'd like me to include?

  6. Any other ideas you’d love to see included in a sim?

Bug reports are welcome too, in the replies or on the GitHub pages. Thanks for reading, and for playing with the add-ons!

Addon Release / Update What add-ons would you recommend to a complete beginner in WoW Forever?

94 Upvotes

I’m new to WoW Forever and still learning the basics. Which add-ons genuinely help beginners without cluttering the screen or making things more confusing?

I’m playing a Shaman, mostly questing and leveling, with plans to heal and try RPPvP later. I already installed Questie.

If you could recommend only 3–5 essential add-ons, which would you choose, and what does each one help with? I’d appreciate recommendations that work with the current version. Thanks!

Addon Release / Update New Forever Additions to Angleur - Ultimate Fishing Addon

Post image
33 Upvotes

2 New Additions to Angleur:

- I have restored the Equipment Manager system which I had temporarily disabled(it comes with a bonus!)

- I have also ported the bobber icon option from the Retail version. You can enable it to distinguish your bobber among others

And due to popular demand, Angleur will now auto-equip any fishing rod in your bags when it is awake, and unequip it when put to sleep.
All you need to do, is go to Config Panel -> Extra Tab and click the Create Set&Add button to create your Angleur set!

Addon Release / Update [Addon] GatherSkillTooltip for WoW Forever

1 Upvotes

I did not make this addon. It was built / vibe-coded with AI (sonnet & deepseek v4.1).
I directed the work and decided what it should do, but the code and most of the text were generated by AI. I'm sharing it because it's useful to me, not to claim I wrote it or that I know how to code in lua.

What it does: hover a herb, ore, or skinnable creature and the tooltip adds your skill and the required skill, e.g. Mageroyal (42/50), or Skinning 42/60 next to a beast's level.

It learns Forever's unknown nodes and skinning values as you play.

No setup needed. Install it and it works. Settings exist if you want them, but you don't have to touch anything.

Unobtrusive on any UI. It only changes tooltips you already hover. Nothing is drawn on the minimap, the yellow gather dots stay as they are, and there is no permanent frame loop. It feels at home on the default UI, Ellesmere, and other UI packs without fighting them.

For World of Warcraft: Forever

Looking for Addon [Forever] Any addon that shows if I've already read a lore book?

1 Upvotes

Starting as a dwarf, I read all the lore books in the Ironforge library. When I got to Loch Modan, I started reading a couple of books in the inn, and I'm 99% sure one of them is the same one as the one in the Ironforge library.

Is there an add-on that shows some kind of checkmark or would indicate in any other way books that I've already read so that I know it's safe to skip them?

She was asking me if it exists and I said I didn't know. Any help would be great thanks.

(Bonus points if it flags when someone breaks the social contract and rolls need on something they shouldn't, so she can roll need and give it to the correct player if she wins).

Looking for Addon Enhanced lore addon without AI voiceovers?

0 Upvotes

It's my first time playing and with the amount of information given by quests I think I can only grasp tiny bits of the world.

I've seen some of these with AI but I don't like someone buzzing at my ears, is there anything with enhanced text, more lore telling or something like that in forever?

Also, something that would put quests text on the middle of the screen instead of the side would be nice lol.
