Statistics and summaries

Browse a personalized Overview highlighting your signature spells, greatest enemies, favorite locations, memorable finds, and other accomplishments.

Dedicated Summary views and searchable detail tables provide deeper breakdowns:

• Combat: Damage dealt and taken, healing dealt and taken, and pet damage taken. View damage and healing by spell, with ranks combined or separated, and damage taken by enemy or spell.

• Progression: Experience from kills, quests, and exploration; available rested and group bonuses; quest completions; and spells started and successfully cast.
• Economy: Items acquired by source, items crafted, money gained by source, and money spent.
• Social: Duel results, time grouped with individual players, and outgoing message counts by chat type. In Forever, also track buffs given and unique players buffed, separately for players inside and outside your group.
• Time: Recorded play time, combat, casting, grouping, AFK, death/ghost time, flights, and Gamepad UI use.
• Travel: Estimated distance travelled on foot, mounted, swimming, on flight paths, as a ghost, and in supported class forms.
• Class activity: Time in forms, stances, stealth, Ghost Wolf, Shadowform, Feign Death, Mind Control, paladin auras, and alongside hunter pets or warlock demons, where supported.
• Camping: Successful camping actions in Forever.

Filter statistics by all levels, the current level, or a custom range. The Levels detail view compares played time, experience, money, kills, quests, and deaths across your character’s progression.

Map replay

Adventure Replay

Watch your recorded adventures unfold on an interactive map.

• Play, pause, restart, or move through events individually.
• Adjust playback speed and filter which event types appear.
• Read event details as you progress through the timeline.
• See your character’s name, historical level, and recorded equipment alongside the map.

Replay uses events with recorded map coordinates and reconstructs your equipment from character snapshots and the Gear Log. Events can also be displayed on the world map where supported.

Gear history and snapshots

The Gear Log records when you equip or unequip items, including equipment changes detected when you log in.

Character snapshots preserve:

• Equipped items and enchants.
• Talents and unspent talent points.
• Attributes, maximum health, and maximum mana.
• Skills and professions.
• Money and played time.

Snapshots are created at level-ups and upon the first defeat of final raid bosses.

Browse snapshots alongside a character preview wearing the recorded equipment.

Notes and player ratings

Keep account-wide notes that are available across your characters.

• Create general notes or attach notes to players, creatures, items, and quests.
• Rate a player’s behavior and skill independently using N/A or one/two thumbs up or down.
• See color-coded player ratings and short note previews in tooltips.
• Open player and creature notes from supported portrait menus.
• Create item notes using item links.
• Select quests from your quest log or recently completed quests when creating quest notes.
• Search, filter, and sort your notes.

Tasks and reminders

Maintain a separate task list for each character, with three ways to activate tasks:

• Until manually completed: Keep a task visible until you check it off.
• Inventory condition: Show a reminder when an item count matches a condition—for example, when your water supply falls below a chosen amount.
• Location condition: Show a reminder when you enter a specified zone or subzone.

Conditional tasks can recur: after completion, they remain hidden until their condition stops matching and later matches again.

Reorder tasks, search your list, view incomplete or all tasks, and display active tasks in a compact, movable tracker.

Milestones and storytelling

Receive personal announcements when your statistics reach milestones, from kills and quests to damage, healing, crafting, travel, and more. Major milestones are also recorded in your journal.

Choose whether to automatically announce shareable milestones in guild chat, offer click-to-send emotes, or both. A small prompt asks for your sharing preferences after you reach an eligible milestone.

In Forever, resting at a campfire can offer three personalized story categories based on your recorded accomplishments. Choose one to share a flavorful message about your adventures—from your most-hunted creatures to your crafting specialties or journeys across Azeroth.

Automatic screenshots

Automatically capture memorable moments:

• Leveling up.
• Killing a boss.
• Earning an achievement.

Enable each category independently, and optionally limit boss screenshots to your first kill of each boss.

Forever content indicators

Identify items and creatures added in WoW Forever through an “Added in Forever” label in their tooltips.

This feature can be enabled or disabled in the addon’s options.

Unit history tooltips

See your recorded history with units without opening the addon:

• Enemies: View your recorded kill count for that creature type.
• Friendly players: View your duel record and the time you have spent grouped with that player.

Saved note previews and player ratings also appear in relevant tooltips. Kill-count and friendly-player history displays can be toggled independently.

Level-up messages

Optionally display your total played time and the time spent at the level you just completed.

In Forever, also display increases to maximum health, maximum mana, and base attributes. If attributes are temporarily unreadable during combat, the addon waits until it can read them before calculating the changes.
