This addon restores the old quest log with the familiar list of quests on the left and details on the right on retail servers.
This addon is NOT for Classic WoW. Classic WoW already has the classic quest log. This addon is for retail servers to restore the "classic" style of quest log.
This addon's initial behavior is to commandeer your quest log key binding and micro button to toggle the new log. It should be a familiar enough experience once you log in.
If you decide you want to keep using the new default log alongside this addon, you can:
- Open the map via key binding (M is default key) will display the new map+quest log hybrid.
- Click 'Show Map' in the upper right of the Classic Quest Log, it will jump to the map of the quest's zone with the attached new style quest log.
- If that's not enough and you only want to use the Classic Quest Log occasionally, go into Key Bindings -> AddOns -> Classic Quest Log and set a binding to toggle this addon's window. Once a binding is set, it will revert the behavior of the default quest log binding and quest micro button to its map+quest default behavior.
There are a few minor changes from the true old quest log:
- Instead of saying (Completed) or (Daily) beside each quest name, they are now represented by icons just like the new log.
- There are other options in the Options button at the bottom of the window, such as the ability to move the window around the screen or to resize the height of the window.
not sure if the "Quest NPC model" on the right side with some quests is working anymore i have not seen it in ages can anyone confirm ?
An option for original default position would be nice :)
Any chance to get the positioning to be in the original spot by default? I'm not sure when it happened but I updated and now whenever I log into a toon for the first time and open their quest log it's in the middle of the screen. It wouldn't be an issue if I only had to do that on one character. However, it seems 'lock window position' is toggled globally....but not the positioning. So I have to open the quest log, unlock the window, move it to roughly where it was originally, and then lock it.
Actually, I just realized it's a little bit more than that. It's been a while since I played, but it seemed like if I opened the full screen map proper the quest frame would close. If I open the character pane then open the map, when i close the map it's closed...but not the quest log frame. It also doesn't reorganize based on the open panels like it used to. Like, right now, if you open the dungeons & raids frame, then open the character frame, the character frame ends up next to it. And if I open the spec/talent frame then it replaces the dungeons & raid frame....and if I open the achievement frame all of it is closed.....except the quest log frame.
Not sure if any of these are 'no choice' changes due to a blizz patch update. It's been a while since I properly played last so for all I know blizz did something to kill the old functionality permanently, but I've no idea. But if those can be reimplemented or made as options or whatevs that'd be awesome!
Thank you!
Hello,
I know It was not part of classic quest log but could you Implement reputation gain for quests? Is it a difficult thing? Actualy there is no good addon what can show reputation for quests. I remember there was a quest log enhancer addon years ago what did this.
If you can do this that would be very appreciated.
Thanks

i think you are looking for this ( https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7017-LightHeaded.html ) ?
In reply to reaper666735:
Thanks, but I dont like that interface much. There was a Quest addon what put the reputation gain into the quest page(not in an extended window), where is the XP and money gain are.
quest log(on the right side) only show half of the text, no LUA error.
toggling "Dark Background" fix it temporarily, any idea why?
Also needs updated for the new Party Sync feature. :)
Currently does not include the UI element to toggle between showing the final quest destination and various transport options (portals, etc).
Broken in 8.5, throws LUA errors.

There is another addon out there called Classic Quest Log for Classic so I'm sure there is confusion because of that. But yes, what people want is the double panel wide frames since that is not offered in Classic WoW without an addon.
For those looking for the Classic version of the addon called Classic Quest Log it is not found on Curse.
Here is the link: https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info24937-ClassicQuestLogforClassic.html
people get easily confused because of an offshoot that does Classic :p,
i guess you can refer them to here ( https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info24937-ClassicQuestLogforClassic.html )
Not work for me, the addon is obsolete and if i launch obsolete addon with case selected he dont work... It works or is it at home?
In reply to Stygeros3711:
If you're getting an obsolete message, changes are you're trying to run this in classic WoW. This is not an addon for classic WoW.
Re: Classic Quest Log on Classic WoW
I'll be honest, I did not see the need to get this working in Classic WoW. The purpose of this addon was to restore the original quest log without the awful map+quest hybrid thing. The awful map+quest hybrid thing doesn't exist in Classic WoW. In Classic WoW, the quest log is classic by its very nature. Any modifications to that log would cease to be the "classic" classic quest log and become a addon to modify the quest log in its classic state.
One huge perk of using the natural quest log in Classic is that it's not prey to the protections imposed by Blizzard in 8.2 on retail. It's not prey to my availability or patches. The quest log in Classic WoW is basically already done by Blizzard. People are being paid to maintain it for the rest of the life of Classic WoW.
I suspect the real ask here is to get the other little "non-classic" bits working, such as a movable/resizable window, or levels on quests, or to get some retail-like functionality in the objectives (which there are no words strong enough for me to refuse that task, sorry. I would not be surprised if the lines of code for the objectives alone surpasses all the lines of code for the original WoW UI.) Some of these things are trivial. Here's an off-the-cuff script to add levels to the quest log, that you can copy-paste into https://addon.bool.no/ to make it an addon:
Movable, resizable, etc. are all doable--but probably not by me, sorry.
For the time being I'm content with the OG classic quest log and I have no plans to make this addon work in Classic WoW. Sorry!
In reply to gello3:
Just make a simple edition. I don't want anything else but this book like layout where the list is on the left and description is on the right side. I absolutely hate that I can't see more than 4-5 lines of quest because it wasn't designed for large screen. That would be a popular addon.
EDIT: Nevermind, found what I wanted. Anybody looking for this two-page quest log: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/questguru_classic
In reply to gello3:
What people really want in Classic is the two pane quest log with a lot of space to read your quests, instead of the crammed tiny "classic" quest log. Its not about tiny retail tweaks or whatever, just a more usable quest log - since the "OG" classic quest log looks nothing like this mod - which apparently resembles the WoW 3.3 quest log from Wrath? Not classic, in any case.
