Character export addon

Skip typing your characters in by hand. The WoW Forever Builds addon reads your character in game and gives you one line to paste onMy characters.

Get it on CurseForge · v1.7.0.zip from GitHubFree · MIT licence · updates through the CurseForge app

Install

The easiest way is the CurseForge app: search for WoW Forever Builds or use the button above, and the app keeps the addon up to date. To install by hand:

1. Close the game.
2. Unzip the download into your AddOns folder, so you get Interface\AddOns\WoWForeverBuilds\WoWForeverBuilds.toc. The AddOns folder is inside your game folder, for example World of Warcraft\_classic_era_\Interface\AddOns.
3. Start the game. If the addon shows as out of date on the character screen, tick Load out of date AddOns.

Export a character

1. Log in with the character and type /wfb in chat.
2. The text in the window is already selected: press Ctrl+C.
3. On My characters, choose Import from addon, paste and check the form before saving.

Importing a character you already registered (same name and realm) updates it instead of adding a copy. Your notes, main and public settings are kept.

Talent guide in your talent window

The addon carries every talent build from our leveling and endgame guides. Open your talents and it shows you what to take:

• the next talent in the guide glows, and pulses while you have a point to spend;
• every talent the guide still wants shows the level of its next point, and talents the guide doesn't take yet show a red x;
• a panel next to the talent window lists the whole order level by level. Switch guides with its arrows;
• on level up, chat tells you which talent to take, and it warns you when you spend a point off the guide.

It picks a leveling guide for your class and level on its own. /wfb guide list lists every guide for your class, /wfb guide 3 picks one, and /wfb guide off turns the guide off.

Dungeon Journal beside the group finder

Open the group finder and the Dungeon Journal opens next to it with that dungeon's quests. If the finder has one dungeon ticked, the journal follows it; otherwise pick one with the Dungeons button, which starts on a dungeon for your level.

• it follows what you do: queue for a dungeon, tick one in the finder or walk into one, and the journal switches to it;
• the quest list shows the pick-up level and faction crest of each quest, in chain order, and the Alliance and Horde crests switch whose quests are listed;
• click a quest and the right page reads like the quest log: what it asks for (mobs to kill, items to collect, something to deliver), where it starts with a Show on Map button, who takes it, and the rewards with their icons;
• a Bosses tab lists the dungeon's bosses and the quests that need each one;
• chain steps are numbered and ticked off as you finish them, including the ones that start outside the dungeon;
• the questline that opens a dungeon chain is listed on the quest's page, and your quest log marks those quests with a tooltip line;
• quests an item starts are marked, because those cannot be shared with the group;
• each quest shows the experience your character gets at its current level (full up to five levels above the quest, then less), with a total for what the dungeon still owes you; the base figures come from the beta client's quest data;
• finished quests are greyed out and marked done, the ones in your log show you have it, and ones waiting for a turn-in show turn in.

The group finder gets a Dungeon Journal button just above its top right corner that shows and hides the journal, and /wfb quests does the same from chat. The quest list is the same beta data as our dungeon pages.

Route guides with waypoints

Some of Forever's best rewards sit at the end of an errand that the quest log does not point you to. /wfb route opens a panel that walks you through one stop by stop:

• the current stop gets a map pin, or a TomTom arrow if you use TomTom;
• chat tells you what to do when you arrive, and picking up the stop's quest moves you on to the next one;
• Horde and Alliance get their own version of a route, and each character only sees its own;
• progress is kept per character, so a route can wait for another evening;
• on the world map, a Routes button picks a route and its stops show as numbered pins on the zone and continent maps: hover one for what to do there, click it to make it your current stop.

The addon also puts an icon on the minimap: left click opens the route guides, right click a menu with the routes, the Dungeon Journal, a tick to turn the talent guide on or off, the talent window and the character export. Drag it to move it, and /wfb minimap hides or shows it.

Everything can be switched on or off on the addon's own page under Options → AddOns → WoW Forever Builds (or /wfb options), where you can also pick your talent guide and your route from a dropdown.

The first route is the Cozy Sleeping Bag, the up-to-3% experience buff, from the route a beta tester published. /wfb route list lists the routes, /wfb route next and /wfb route back move between stops, and/wfb route stop clears the waypoint.

What it exports

• name, realm, class, race, faction and level;
• talent points spent in each tree, used to pick your spec (a tie leaves the spec for you to choose);
• primary professions (recognised on English game clients);
• whether the character is on a Hardcore realm. PvP and Roleplaying realms can't be detected, so set those yourself.

The addon never sends anything over the internet: nothing leaves your computer until you paste the line and save it. The export only runs when you type/wfb; the talent guide only reads your own talents.
