Classic Quest Log

204,435 Downloads Last Updated: Oct 12, 2019 Game Version: 8.2.5

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.

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

quest log(on the right side) only show half of the text, no LUA error.

toggling "Dark Background" fix it temporarily, any idea why?

Currently does not include the UI element to toggle between showing the final quest destination and various transport options (portals, etc).

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

i guess you can refer them to here ( https://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info24937-ClassicQuestLogforClassic.html )

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:

local o = GetQuestLogTitle
function GetQuestLogTitle(index)
local questLogTitleText, level, questTag, isHeader, isCollapsed, isComplete, frequency, questID, startEvent, displayQuestID, isOnMap, hasLocalPOI, isTask, isBounty, isStory, isHidden, isScaling = o(index)
if not isHeader then
return "["..level.."] "..questLogTitleText,level, questTag, isHeader, isCollapsed, isComplete, frequency, questID, startEvent, displayQuestID, isOnMap, hasLocalPOI, isTask, isBounty, isStory, isHidden, isScaling
else
return questLogTitleText, level, questTag, isHeader, isCollapsed, isComplete, frequency, questID, startEvent, displayQuestID, isOnMap, hasLocalPOI, isTask, isBounty, isStory, isHidden, isScaling
end
end

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!

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

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.

In Classic, it does not have my quests, just an infinite scroll of "quest title example"

I am just testing it right now and it seems to be working perfectly fine in Classic - I've only tried it in starter zone but so far no errors and all working as expected. It's not available in the Twitch Desktop App under Classic, you need to manually download it and copy/extract to your Interface folder.

You're right, oddly it's not working for me now after update to 1.4.5 - so I tried downgrading to 1.4.4 (which it was working for me fine on) and that one isn't working either - I actually think it might be an interaction with another addon or something that's breaking it because I have 1.4.4 installed on my GF's computer who has a separate UI setup and it's working perfectly fine in her WoW Classic - we've leveled up to 13 now, cleared Elwynn and parts of Westfall and she hasn't had a single error or had Classic Quest Log stop working at any point. If I figure out the actual cause I will let you know.

For now I am looking at some alternative addons:
