These Addons Make WoW: Forever So Much Better

Overview

NickTew reviews addons he personally tested for WoW: Forever, focusing on quality-of-life improvements, leveling, and interface customization. The video is an addon guide and does not discuss the game’s storyline.

Addons and Tips

• BiS Memories — Automatically takes screenshots of notable moments, such as leveling up, getting an epic item, or making a first kill. It’s useful for keeping a visual record of a character’s journey.
• Baganator — Organizes inventory items into categories and includes search and sorting tools, making it easier to find things like consumables and quest loot.
• Naowh Forever — NickTew’s top overall recommendation. It offers many small, configurable features rather than requiring a complete interface overhaul, including:
  • Dungeon information, rewards, and maps
  • A training planner for upcoming abilities and skills
  • Gear suggestions, profession tools, group inspectors, and buff reminders
  • Customizable auras, threat tracking, and equipment-panel options
  • Experience tracking, map waypoints, and faster looting
  • Optional widgets and minigames

Most modules can be turned off or adjusted, so users can keep only the features they want.

• Rested XP Guide — Provides questing and leveling routes that point players toward efficient quests, useful gear upgrades, purchases, and important class training. It can help players level faster, though NickTew notes it’s optional for those who prefer a slower, unguided journey. The guide is free to try from levels 1–20.
• Questie — Adds map markers for available quests and can show quest experience. It complements Rested XP by revealing extra quest information. Options for accepting and completing quests can also save time, particularly when servers are crowded.
• DialogKey — Lets players use a hotkey instead of clicking through certain dialogue prompts and NPC interactions, including confirming actions or buying items.
• Ellesmere UI — A customizable full interface overhaul. Players can disable most features and use only specific elements, such as nameplates or cooldown displays. NickTew keeps much of the classic look by turning off modules he doesn’t need.
• Musca Auras — Provides WeakAura-style customization for WoW: Forever. NickTew mainly recommends it to players already familiar with auras.
• OpenMap — Opens a more detailed, scalable map and can display routes, caves, dungeon entrances and layouts, trainers, and boat destinations. It’s particularly helpful for navigation and questing.
• SkillUp Forever — Helps with profession planning by showing estimated costs and skill-up chances, along with routes, shopping lists, trainer notes, and resource nodes. A friend recommended it to NickTew, but he hasn’t tried it himself.
• BugSack and BugGrabber — Install them together to catch and manage Lua errors generated by addons.
• Threat Display — Adds a lightweight numerical threat value to enemies’ nameplates or frames.

NickTew’s Picks

If choosing only three addons, NickTew would pick Naowh Forever, Rested XP, and OpenMap. He also recommends installing addons through CurseForge and choosing the version without Overwolf.
