For the Journey

Your adventure, remembered. For the Journey automatically captures the big moments of your character's story - then writes them up in a diary you can flip through whenever you like.

Made by Rex, for WoW Forever (Classic+). WoW Forever has no achievement system, so this addon is here to give your milestones the recognition they deserve.

Beta note: during the beta, Blizzard does not allow character data to be kept between beta resets. Your diary, stats and history are saved normally and survive logouts and reloads, but they will be cleared if the beta wipes your character.

Automatic milestone screenshots

A screenshot is taken the moment it happens (each one can be switched on or off):

• Level-ups
• Deaths
• Boss and rare kills - open-world rares and dungeon/raid bosses
• New zones discovered (or every zone you enter, if you prefer)
• Epic or better loot
• A profession reaching its maximum skill
• Reaching Exalted with a faction
• Gold milestones - 1g, 10g, 50g, 100g, all the way up to 100,000g
• Near-death saves - surviving at 10% health or less
• Duel wins

An optional "Milestone Reached!" banner pops up on screen alongside each screenshot, like an achievement toast.

The Journey Diary

A real diary, written for you as you play. It looks like a leather-bound book with a parchment page, and it is named after your character - "Thrallbane's Journey Diary".

• One page per day. Turn through your history with the Earlier / Later buttons.
• Each page shows how long you played that day, your level and where you travelled, and everything that changed with the new totals - for example "Kills +38 (447 total); Quests +17 (59 total); Mining skill +2 (now 65)".
• Notable moments are written up in a short diary style - level-ups, boss kills, new places, epic finds, and more.
• A Money Ledger sits at the bottom of every page: your purse at the start of the day, what you earned and spent (with the game's gold, silver and copper coins), and your purse now.
• A day with nothing new gets no page - the diary only records days where something happened.

Stats and recaps

• Lifetime Stats - kills, killing blows, deaths and your most dangerous zone, quests, hearthstones, flights, jumps, fish caught, ore mined, creatures skinned, herbs gathered, gold earned and spent, profession skills, and more.
• Game Statistics - pulls in the numbers from your character sheet's Statistics tab (where the client shares them), so totals include everything you did before installing the addon.
• Session Recap - a summary card when you log out, and again for your last session when you next log in.
• Session History - your recent play sessions, remembered separately for each character.

Using it

Open everything from the minimap button (a camera shutter), or type /journey.

• /journey - open the options window
• /journey diary - open your Journey Diary
• /journey lifetime - open Lifetime Stats
• /journey gamestats - show the game's own statistics
• /journey recap - show the session recap (/journey recap last for the previous session)
• /journey sessions - list recent play sessions
• /journey status - show what's switched on or off
• /journey data - check that your saved data loaded correctly
• /journey test - take a test screenshot

Every trigger, the banner, the diary and the recap can be switched on or off in the options window.

Good to know

• Screenshots are saved in your normal WoW Screenshots folder.
• Settings are shared across your account; progress, stats and diaries are kept separately for each character, with an automatic backup.
• No other addons or libraries are needed.
