View Full Version : Is There Anything Other Than QuestHelper?

I recently installed the "QuestHelper" AddOn, but it only points to the quest it thinks is the most important at the time. Is there an AddOn out there that allows me to pick a quest from my Quest List, and have it show me the location of it?

Thanks.

Are you talking about the arrow pointing to the next quest? I always turn that arrow in the main window off since I can just look at the minimap or the big map. If you look at your map you can see all of the quest objectives that are close by. You can also right-click on an item and change the priority of it.

Sorry I don't understand what you're saying. I'm just asking whether there's an AddOn out there, that when I select a quest from my quest list, an arrow appears on the minimap showing where that particular quest is. Then if I pick a DIFFERENT quest, the arrow on the minimap will change direction to show where the quest objective I just selected is & so on.

Because, with QuestHelper, the arrow on the minimap is only showing the direction to the quest it thinks is the most important at the time, and if I want to find directions to a different quest in my quest list, it won't show me because it's only pointing to the most important one.

A combination of LightHeaded and either Cartographer or TomTom will get you an effect similar to what you're looking for, with the only real limit being that the coordinates for the quest need to be in LightHeaded. 99% of the time they are.

You can force questhelper to give you directions to any quest you select (I think)

Is this by setting the priority of the quests?

yes

And btw Questhelper doesn't point to what it thinks is most important it directs you to what it thinks is the most efficient path to complete quests based on filters. It wants you to travel as little as possible, by default.

Unless you changed the defaults it filters for a few of the following things which can all be changed:
I doesn't point you to quests taged as group or elite unless you are grouped
it filters based on quests that are too high or too low
it filters based on region (ie it usually wants you to finish the quests in a region before moving on)
you can change priority for quests in which case it will move them up or down the list

i will just add to this post. if you want to manually change the priorities, you can do so from the zone map by finding the objective and right clicking on it to bring up the context menu which will then allow you to set the priorities of each objective to: highest, high, normal, low, lowest. it will even allow you to ignore individual quests completely.
