A year ago, I wrote an entry stating that I had cancelled my World of Warcraft (WoW) subscription. That was because I realized that it had become addicting & I had to stop myself from playing too much.
Well, just last week, when people were raving about Starcraft II, I decided to play WoW again. Just to get a feel of it, and to know if I am still a gamer. Do I still love PC games a lot? And the answer is yes! Hahaha! I’m actually thinking of creating a site dedicated to World of Warcraft LOLz!!
Anyway, in this post, I will share with you the add-ons I use in order to make my WoW gaming experience more enjoyable & less stressful:
- QuestHelper
this is indispensable for me. It helps me finish my quests faster. It provides for me the locations where I can find the monsters or things I need to finish the quest. It’s a huge database considering how big the game already is. Looking at the notes, seems like the creators won’t be updating this further, I hope someone picks it up & continues working on the add-on. It will be a waste if they stop developing QuestHelper. If that happens, I may need to find an alternative.
- TomTom
for WoW maps & minimaps. My main use of this add-on is for 2 things: coordinates a window that can let me see my character’s exact location & an arrow that points out where my character’s corpse is.
- Overachiever
If you’re like me, someone who wants to complete all the achievements in WoW then this add-on is for you. It shows us our progress with our achievements. One thing that I love with this add-on is whenever we need the item or NPC for an achievement, it shows up when you hover your curser over it so you’d know what to do.
- SellJunk
the name says it all. It helps us sort out all the junk in our bags and with just a click, we can automatically sell them all. No need to waste time in clicking the items that we need to sell one by one — wohoo! 🙂
- EveryQuest
I’m OC and I bet a lot of WoW players are too. We want to complete each & every quest available in a faction. EveryQuest can help us track that, plus it lists down all available quests in every area.
- Auctioneer
Very useful when you auction, it gives you complete listings, age of auction & a lot more. A must-have for every WoW player.
- ArkInventory
Once you play WoW, you really need to learn how to act fast, think fast & do a lot of things at the same time. In the game, we are given bag slots. It’s a pain whenever you need to find a certain item and you forget which bag you put it in. You have to open each bag to see where it’s at. With this add-on, it helps organize the items by category. When you click on one bag, you can see your items neatly organized in a single glance.
- Atlas
for some weird reason, WoW does not provide us maps of instances/dungeons. This add-on helps fill this gap. Unless you want to explore blindly, then I would suggest you to download this add-on.
What’s yours?
