Wrath of the Lich King runs on client version 3.3.5a, and it is still the version almost every private server uses today. This page lists WoW 3.3.5 addons built for that exact client, so they work whether you play on Warmane, Project Epoch, or another 3.3.5a realm.
Why WotLK 3.3.5 needs addons
The default WoW 3.3.5 interface is missing tools that later expansions added as standard features. There is no built-in damage meter, the quest log does not show objectives on the map, and action bars cannot be resized or repositioned without editing the game’s files directly. Addons fill these gaps without changing how the game plays.
Private servers add another layer to this. Some realms run custom scripts or modified spell data, and a few addons are built or patched to match a specific server, such as DBM versions made for Warmane or quest databases made for Project Epoch. Installing the wrong build can cause an addon to load without working correctly, so check which server an addon targets before installing it.
Addon categories on this page
The addons here are grouped by function, so you can filter by what you need instead of scrolling through the full list:
- Quest helpers that track objectives and mark quest givers on the map
- Damage and threat meters for raiding and dungeons
- Boss encounter addons with timers and cast alerts
- Bag and inventory organizers
- Auction house tools for buying, selling, and price checking
- Unit frame replacements and action bar mods
- Class-specific addons for tracking cooldowns, procs, and rotations
Use the filters at the top of this page to narrow the list by category, server, or update date.
Popular addons for WotLK 3.3.5
Questie replaces the default quest log with a map overlay showing quest givers, objectives, and turn-ins, similar to retail WoW’s quest tracker.
Details! Damage Meter tracks damage, healing, and threat during fights and breaks the numbers down by ability, so raid leaders can see who needs to adjust their rotation.
Bagnon combines your bags and bank into a single window and adds search and sorting.
AtlasLoot Enhanced lists the loot tables for every dungeon and raid boss in the expansion, including item stats and drop sources.
Auctionator speeds up buying and selling at the auction house with saved searches and price history.
WeakAuras displays custom visual and sound alerts based on buffs, cooldowns, or combat events. Warperia also has a library of ready-made WeakAuras profiles for different classes and specs, so you do not have to build one from scratch.
Bartender 4 replaces the default action bars and lets you resize, reposition, and hide them individually.
For a full interface overhaul instead of individual addons, check the ElvUI profiles built for 3.3.5.
How to install WotLK 3.3.5 addons
- Download the addon as a .zip file from its page on Warperia.
- Extract it with 7-Zip, WinRAR, or the extractor built into Windows.
- Open your WoW installation folder, then Interface, then AddOns.
- Move the extracted folder into AddOns. The folder containing the .toc file needs to sit directly inside AddOns, not nested inside another folder.
- Start the game and click the AddOns button on the character selection screen to confirm the addon is enabled.
Some private servers block addons last updated for a different client version. If an addon does not appear after installing it, tick “Load out of date AddOns” on the same screen.
Installing addons with the Warperia app
The Warperia desktop app installs addons directly into your AddOns folder and checks for updates automatically, so you do not need to download zip files or extract them by hand. It supports 3.3.5 along with the other expansions listed on this site.
Keeping addons up to date
WotLK addons still get updated by their authors, either to fix bugs or to add support for new private server patches. An outdated addon is one of the most common causes of Lua errors on login, so if something breaks after a server update, check this page or the app for a newer version before assuming the addon is broken for good.
Frequently asked questions
Do WotLK 3.3.5 addons work on every private server?
Most do, since they are built against the 3.3.5a client itself rather than a specific server. A few addons are made or patched for one server’s custom content, such as DBM builds made for Warmane or quest data made for Project Epoch. These are labeled on their addon page.
Can I use retail or Classic addons on 3.3.5?
No. Retail and Classic addons are built against a different API version and will not load on 3.3.5a. Look for addons that list 3.3.5 as their supported client, which is the case for everything on this page.
Why do I get a Lua error after logging in?
This usually means an addon is out of date for the current client or server patch, or that two addons are conflicting with each other. Disable your addons one at a time to find which one is causing the error, then check for an updated version.
