XE QoL — quality of life for WoW Forever

Light. Blizzard-looking. Modern when you want it.

🗺️ NEW — Quest Route: levelling 1 to 60 for both factions as simple stops — go here, grab these, kill those, hand in — with an arrow that says what to do Now and Then, class quests and a route per dungeon. (details below)
👥 Group finder helper: the Looking For Group list made usable — dungeon checklist, level range, class filter, find players or groups by the roles they still need, one-click whisper and invite. (details below)

XE QoL is one small addon that replaces a pile of others. It looks and feels like the game's own UI — Blizzard's classic windows, fonts and colours — and every visual part has a modern design you can switch on with one click (flat Plater-style nameplates, a clean cast bar, borderless action bars).

Light: no libraries, nothing runs for a module you turn off. XE itself uses about 9 MB of memory; the Quest Route about 16 MB (it holds every route - untick it if you don't level with it). /xe perf shows yours.
Pick what you want: a short setup at first login, then /xe any time. Every module is one tick; everything you don't use costs nothing.
Made for WoW Forever (Interface 16001).

⭐ NEW: Quest Route — levelling 1 to 60, as simple stops

A separate add-on in the same download (untick XE QoL - Quest Route in the AddOns list if you don't want it).

Go here, grab these, kill those, hand in: town stops grouped by NPC, field objectives together — do them in any order; only what's left is shown.
The arrow says what to do Now and what comes Then; far away it plans the trip first (flight path, boat or zeppelin, hearthstone).
Pick a guide: automatic for your race and level, all levels, class quest chains, and a route per dungeon (its quests and chains, city by city, then the entrance).
Missed: the quests you passed that you can still do, and where to get them.
Shopping and training in their own list — including the spells your class trainer has for you right now.
Click a skull to target the mob. XR on a quest's details jumps the route to it.

⭐ Setup wizard & profiles

A setup wizard with a live preview of every part: pick what you want in a few pages.
Profiles per character: a new character uses or copies another's settings, or starts fresh.

⭐ Group finder helper

The Looking For Group list, finally usable. A filter panel docks to Blizzard's window (Premade Groups Filter style):

Dungeon checklist, level range (±3 of your level in one click), class filter and name search.
Find players looking for your group, or groups by how many tanks, healers and DPS they already have — "needs a tank" is one preset.
Group rows show the members' class icons; the tooltip lists each one with level and role.
Whisper sends a ready-made "invite me" message with your class, level and role; Invite a solo player with one click, with a short "inviting you for Deadmines" whisper first. All texts are yours to edit.

⭐ Threat nameplates — for groups, the way few addons still do it

In a group fight, every enemy plate tells you who it is attacking, from your point of view:

DPS / healer: red = it's on you, green = it's on the tank.
Tank: red = it's not on you, green = it's on you, orange = changing hands.
Casters stay blue — and when one is on the wrong person it gets a red X and a red border.
Role is detected for you (group role, bear form, Defensive Stance) or set by hand.

Solo, the same plates switch to questing colours: enemies brick red, casters blue. Choose the Blizzard plate or the flat XE Plater design (height, width, health % in the middle), plus a target marker (corner brackets or chevrons >>> <<<).

More highlights

Consumables bar — food, potions, scrolls and bandages always at hand, with an Ask for buffs button that says a funny /say line.
Talent guide — pick a build once; a Now card shows your next talent, the plan is a timeline, and a Spells tab lists what your trainer has for you.
Dungeon guide — a card per dungeon, your level first; each page has its quest chains and the next step.
