This has been in development for close to 10 years, and at its core, transforms WoW from a traditional tab-targeting MMO into an action-combat game with Reticle Targeting, Click Casting, Mouse Look, and a ton of other features that help push the moment-to-moment gameplay of WoW towards that action-combat vision.

You can cycle through the GIFs in the gallery for visual explanations of all it does. It's grown into a very feature-rich addon over the years that I'm super proud of, and I'd love for you to give it a try!

Disclaimer: ACM is not vibe-coded slop. It's been in development since 2017, with the two leading devs - myself and thericgames - having a combined 30 years of Software Engineering experience under our belts. Some of you may also recognize my username from previous contributions to the addon dev community, going all the way back to 2016, like HeyBarbaruivaUI. But the nature of Software Engineering has indeed changed, and AI usage has become inevitable, as it speeds up the process so much, so AI has been applied responsibly to the project with proper supervision within the last year, with the bulk of its work being done on the GUI. Rest assured, all the core features and 95% of what's here have been in the addon long before AI got good at coding. And, like I said, 30+ years of SWE experience behind this project.

I first made this addon almost two years ago when I saw that the ClassicBestiary addon hadn't received an update since 2023, and have been maintaining it ever since. With the upcoming release of Forever I decided to make a version for this version of the game too. Not all features have been ported over yet but so far it includes:

• Tooltip that displays the abilities an NPC has
• Multiple tooltip display modes
• Ability translations for 8 languages
• Display of an ability mechanic, range, cast time and dispel type (optional)

Forever inherits the same limitations that retail set in place in terms of fetching some information in certain scenarios. An example is NPC data when inside dungeons and raids. Unfortunately there is no way to work around this. To give players an alternative, a new window was added that displays dungeons and raids, along with the NPCs that can be found there.

The addon can be found here.

Hey! I am looking for an addon that can help me learn Italian while playing the game.

Open to any kind of language learning tool tbh, whether it is a full translation, a side-by-side translation of game text or dialogue, or a popup thing to learn words as you level.

Any suggestions are much appreciated! 🫶

I’m a long time ‘AI hater’ but also totally understand the practical applications yada yada.
But the last few months, this sub has become a slop posting sub.

Not only is everything coded with AI (which is inevitable at this point so it is what it is) but my biggest problem is that NONE of you can even write up your own descriptions. All the descriptions, responses, everything are done by AI.

No, i’m not refusing to download your addons because they were coded by AI.
I’m refusing to download your addons because you can’t take 5 minutes and write a human sentence in your post.

It is a requirement to not use AI to write descriptions and literally goes AGAINST THE SUB TOS. Mods are gonna let any vibe coded slop get front and center of the sub.

Mods ban me or whatever, i’m already leaving and muting this sub because it’s gotten so bad, i see no end in sight.

I forgot buffs, missed procs and left spells at old ranks, so I made an addon where the button you should press just glows. No windows, no extra bars. It’s made specifically for WoW Forever.

What glows:

• Missing buffs, including weapon buffs
• Cooldowns that are back in a fight (Recklessness, Rapid Fire, Innervate, racials and more)
• Procs: Overpower, Revenge, Execute, Victory Rush and others
• Old ranks of spells on your bars, and low reagents

Type /gb to change colors, opacity, messages and sounds for each kind of reminder.

A bit of backstory: I’m just a web developer, not a Lua god. The AI wrote slop in a language I don’t enjoy, so I built a TypeScript framework that compiles to Lua, with strict rules and “well” designed architecture, to be able to review every change. Overengineered? Absolutely. These days people call every addon slop anyway, so I tried to make the best slop of slops.

I don’t have much addon development experience, unfortunately, but I could put a few things from my developer past to use. I also tried to handle the new racials, even for the priest. It’s free and MIT licensed.

AI Disclaimer: Most of the addon’s code was written by AI (Claude). I designed the architecture and the rules it has to follow, and I review the changes.

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/easy-space-maker

I created Easy Space Maker (ESM) because I wasn't satisfied with the existing tools for managing your bags when looting with a full inventory! There are other addons that do similar things, many of which are much more lightweight, but I wanted a more feature rich version of those tools for myself. When I showed my friends they told me I should upload the addon to Curse and were very supportive.

The main purpose of this addon is to reduce downtime when your inventory fills up, especially in the early game when bag management is much more critical because... well... you don't have any bags really, haha XD

When your inventory is full, six separate icons will appear next to the loot window. Each icon represents a different category of items:

• Lowest overall value item
• Lowest value junk-quality item
• Lowest value equipment item
• Lowest value food/drink item
• Lowest value crafting material
• Lowest value item that doesn't fall into any of the above categories

This gives you several options right at a glance to quickly throw something out that could be lower value than what you are looting, allowing you to quickly free up space and get back to playing! Gold income and bag space are important! I have also included options for it to work with Auctionator so you can easily see the Auctionator values. I have also laid the foundation for it to display TSM values but until TSM has been released (if/when) I can't confirm it truly functions since TSM is not available for testing in the forever beta.

In addition, there are several protection features in place! You can right-click an item on any of those icons to add it to your session protection list, preventing it from being suggested again until you reload or log out. Later, you can open the full protection list, easily see which items you temporarily protected during the current session, and decide whether you want to add them to your permanent protection list. Temporarily added items always show up at the top of your protect list and are highlighted in blue to make them easy to distinguish!

Customization was one of my biggest priorities when developing this addon. I'm a firm believer that being able to tailor your experience to your own preferences is important! I highly recommend exploring the available options to find what works best for you. My goal is to help reduce the downtime caused by a full inventory so you can get right back into the meat of WoW Forever that much faster!

AI DISCLAIMER: I built this addon with the help of ChatGPT. No generative AI artwork or assets were used. ChatGPT was used to help bring my idea to life through the coding and development process guided by my instruction and vision.

I'm not a Lua programmer. I have some experience dabbling in languages like GML and working with Unreal Engine, but Lua isn't a language I'm familiar with. Because of that, I used ChatGPT to help me write and develop the addon and before posting here I performed an optimization pass to make sure it was at a quality I felt comfortable with.

EDIT: Reposted because I realized that the images didn't display, sorry about that! I'm a reddit noob.

Addon: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/level-buddies

One of the main issues with WoW as an MMORPG is it's actually somewhat hard to find people to play or group with unless you're doing a dungeon. Level Buddies takes all of the guess work out by allowing you to see other people on the minimap also running the addon who have it active that signal to others they want to group up to level, whether it be for questing or grinding.

You can use the minimap icon or simply type /lb to turn it on and off. It pings your location on the minimap in a hidden chat channel you won't have to see or interact with and this is what allows others to see each other. When you see another player on the minimap, just click on their icon to whisper them and ask to group up. When you're done grouping or don't want to be seen, just use the icon or command again to hide yourself.

Would appreciate anyone testing it with a friend or two in-game. It should be relatively simple.

AI Disclaimer: 99% AI generated, was made to serve a simple purpose.

I made a lightweight tanking HUD for Protection Warriors:

• Rotation, rage and threat at a glance
• Voice callouts for Revenge, Shield Block, Sunder full and more
• “Refresh Sunder / Rend / Thunder Clap” warnings, 1–10 s before they drop
• Fully movable, WeakAuras-style layout, no setup needed

I won't be actively following this Reddit thread. There's too much toxicity and too many Karen arguments here for me, wanted to share since I play a prot warrior since the game came out and I will main one in Forever I thought other prot warriors will find this useful , if you want to reach me, please use the CurseForge project page. https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/warrior-tanking-suite .Good luck.

A minimalist, fully customizable circular HUD for World of Warcraft Forever.

Currently there's no plan to support retail or classic, since I do not play in those versions.
Hence it might work on retail/classic, but it doesn’t support all classes…

This addon last updated 12.0.1. Now 12.1.5 made this addon error and cant buy many from single click

I checked owner account it last online 4 months. Unsure person dont long play wow.

Do other addon like this?

Considered making a post each but probably easier post them all here.

AllStats

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

Customisable Character Stat sheet. I find that the default character stats are lacking and you have to scroll for information you want at a glance, so this addon allows you to pick and choose which stats you want to view.

Enhanced Spellbook

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/enhanced-spellbook

Customisable spellbook. Add custom tabs or compact multiple tabs into one. Manage macros in the spellbook. Resize, reposition, show more icons/spells per row etc. Manage keybinds for spells/macros directly on the spellbook. Show unlearned skills and when/where you can get them.

NPC Interact

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

Simple addon that allows you to use keybinds when speaking to a quest giver or npc to activate dialogue options.

Quest Crier

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/quest-crier-forever

Bit of a strange one but thought Id share anyway. This addon adds a template text input to the Quest Log and LFG window. You put your message in that input (or leave default), and then press the horn/broadcast button beside a quest in the log, and it will broadcast a LFG message quickly to multiple channels. For example, clicking on the horn icon beside "Wanted:Hogger" will broadcast "LFG ['Wanted:Hogger']" to multiple channels such as general, LFG etc with the quest details in the inline chat. It works nicely for regular dungeon LFG too.

Use Best in Bags

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/use-best-in-bags

Stranger again, but probably my favourite addon. It can be complicated at first glance, but its very powerful with alot of different use cases. Essentially, you add items to a table/list. You can then bind a key or create a macro for that table, and depending on what setup you have for the table .ie "use my highest valued food" or "use the food i have the least of" it will use that and update automatically.

i.e you can eat and drink the best priority food/water in one action, and with smart consume you wont waste any food/water if you are at full health/mana.

Advanced Use Cases:

I also use this to :

• Make gear sets and equip them in one keybind or click
• manage trinket usage (like the TrinketMenu addon) - recognises item cds and auto-equips
• Auto add unwanted greens to a list and disenchant with one click - similarly for prospecting, milling etc
• Auto sell list for unwanted items such as Fish Oil or gear types you can use etc
• Add junkboxes to a list for one click lockpicking
• A table/list for click to open items such as clams etc- one button to open
• In Forever, auto add mage scrolls to a table for easy one button dechipering (/cast comprehend scroll /use [item])
• One click hunter pet feeding
• Mount lists with random feature (properly no longer usable in Forever due to mounts being moved to their own UI)
• Rogue poisons list
• and more...

I have some more personal addons that I considered sharing, but it seems like there have been similar but better versions posted by others users, especially since the surge in AI, so I will just leave as is. And yes, AI was used to help make these addons but its hard to avoid these days.

Anyway, if you download any of these I hope you enjoy or they help, and please give any feedback or report any bugs if you want.

Title … I seem to be stuck at 107/110 reps, and was surprised when I finished maxing Voludani, Hara’ti and Zul’jarra’s Forces but stayed at 107.

Any insight or suggestions?

Thanks!!

The WoW Forever Beta is almost over, so I want to share the results from headhunterwow.com: the top HeadHunters, Duelists and Bandits are in the pictures.

All Beta results stay on the site at headhunterwow.com/beta.

Note: a duel is only recorded when a HeadHunter addon user fights in it or is nearby, so some duels are missing. The more players use the addon, the more complete and challenging the rankings get.

See you at launch on November 4!

Actually called Stand and Hit. Too lazy to change the post title. I've gone through different names.

It's ready, but not released yet! I still don't know how to embed videos in reddit. I watched a youtube video on how to do it, but the guys interface is different than mine. I hate when that happens!

EDIT: Since the beta is ending very shortly, I will release it on Forever's official release.

• New Intel tab: the classes, races and guilds you run into most.

Download: CurseForge or Wago

Built with help from AI for programming and translations.

I did post an extremely early version as "Zerg Radar" which was more of a proof concept than anything but now it is available to use in 1.0 as "War Effort"

Hey Guys, you guessed it. Another weirdo with his vibe-coded addon.

I made an addon that brings back all the iconic and sorely missed classic combat sounds into modern Retail WoW.

Originally I just built this for myself because I really missed the pre-Legion audio where every single ability had its own unmistakable identity. I want my classic Cloak of Shadows back, Hunter GunShot Sounds that sound like actual gunshots, Paladin's Beacon of Light, Shadow Priests Mind Blast and many many more.
Nowadays a lot of spells in Retail just sound like variations of soft wind swishes, and Hunter guns sound like airsoft rifles instead of actual firearms.

Here is basically what it does:

• No external files needed: All the old Classic, TBC, WotLK, and MoP sound files are actually still sitting hidden inside the Retail WoW client. The addon simply mutes the new sounds on the fly and triggers the old ones instead.
• Covers 11 classes: Warrior, Rogue, Paladin, Mage, Death Knight, Shaman, Warlock, Priest, Druid, Hunter, and Monk (rotational spells, cooldowns, heals, shields, stuns, interrupts, totems, traps, etc.).
• Old Hunter Guns, Bows & Crossbows: Brings back the loud, heavy boom of old guns and the classic bow snap. I also added a manual override button in the menu in case your bow is transmogged into a gun (or vice versa).
• Old Melee White-Hits: Detects what weapons you actually have equipped (even alternating Main-Hand and Off-Hand when dual-wielding, plus Cat/Bear claws and Monk fists) and plays the classic weapon impact sounds without spamming on enchants.
• Proper Spell Timing: For projectile spells like Frostbolt, Shadow Bolt, Fireball, or Lava Burst, it splits the cast sound and the impact sound, waiting until the projectile actually hits your target before playing the classic impact sound.
• In-game Menu with [Old] vs. [New] Preview Buttons (/ocs): Probably my favorite part—every single spell in the menu has an [Old] and a [New] button right next to it. So you can just click through all the classes in the menu and compare the old sound vs. the current Retail sound side-by-side without even logging onto another character. You can also toggle any single spell or whole class on/off mid-combat without reloading.
• Lightweight & safe: Uses only basic unit events (RegisterUnitEvent)—no combat log scanning, no taint, and practically zero CPU impact in raids.

If you want to check it out, it's called OldCombatSounds on CurseForge
Feel free to crosspost to another wow related sub if you want. I uhh can't post on r/wow anymore 🫪

AI Disclosure

How does the tool differ from existing ones?
Bestiary TCG is built around a loot-pack mechanic: every creature you kill gives you a face-down card from your zone’s pack, and you learn what it is only when you open it. Each card rolls its rarity and finish separately, and the cards can be used in Bestiary Arena for 1v1 duels and group Horde battles. [Confirm before posting: I’m not aware of another WoW addon that combines these, but I haven’t surveyed every addon.]

Did you use AI at any point for code generation, brainstorming or inspiration?
Yes. I used AI to create the artwork, since art and visual design aren’t really my strong suit. However, all of the source code, packaging, game rules, balance, and overall game design were done by me. I developed it in Python and then used generative AI to translate the entire codebase into Lua, since I never got around to learning the language myself.

As my small TCG community grows, I’d like to hire a designer to handle the addon’s artwork and visual design.

Hi everyone! I’ve been working on two addons that work together, and I’d really like to get some feedback from people who enjoy collecting stuff in WoW.

Basically, you kill a boar on your way to a quest. Later, you open your zone’s loot pack and find out it’s a Legendary Chrome Full Art card

I’m not here to sell you my addon or anything like that. I’d just really like to know if you like the idea and if you have any suggestions that could help me improve it.

My goal is for everyone to be able to have fun with it — collecting cards, trading them, and even playing matches while drinking water and sitting around campfires. A lot of people have already been helping me with ideas and suggestions to improve it, and I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to contribute to this post. :)

I’ve loved TCGs ever since I was 9 years old and discovered Pokémon. Ever since then, I’ve collected cards and opened booster packs just for fun. I wanted to bring that same feeling to leveling in WoW for my friends and me, and along the way, more people started joining this little community. There are now around 100 active people using the addon and sharing their cards with each other.

I haven’t quite managed to create that same level of excitement around card battles yet, but I know that’s a much harder niche to get people into!

Still, I wanted to thank everyone and celebrate with you all because the addon has now reached 1,300 downloads! :) ♥

Thank you so much, and I really appreciate all your ideas and feedback!

If you’re new here and interested in checking out the addon, here it is:

I update it regularly since I’m always finding new ways to improve it.
