This addon restores the old quest log with the familiar list of quests on the left and details on the right on retail servers.
Please note:
- This addon is not for Classic WoW. Classic WoW already has the classic quest log. This addon is for retail servers to restore a "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.
Love this addon, I only have one request. I wish Esc would close it.
In reply to mollzorr:
Esc should close it. (Or at least, whatever key you use to open the game menu)
If scripts errors aren't enabled can you enable them and try closing it to see if you get an error? There could be an addon conflict.
/console scriptErrors 1
(change 1 to 0 to turn script errors back off)
In reply to gello3:
No error message after turning on scriptErrors.
It closes with Esc on my keyboard, but not on the button I bound to Esc (if that makes sense).
In reply to mollzorr:
Does the game menu open with the mouse-bound ESC key?
In reply to gello3:
Yes, and Esc on the keyboard, both are bound to game menu.
anyone else have this bug ?
have selected a quest entry after a short time deselect and list another quest

also show map on some quests dont work, just open map to current location.
In reply to Naphala:
Some addons like ConsLegion select quests as they query the log, which is super unneeded these days, especially with the new C_QuestLog api.
In reply to gello3:
ConsLegion not in my list never instaled
I am not sure what is causing this issue but on only one of my character. I get this error.

It seem like the Problem is in details.lua
-- show portrait if one exists and there's enough room to the right of the main window local questPortrait, questPortraitText, questPortraitName, questPortraitMount, questPortraitModelSceneID = GetQuestLogPortraitGiver() if questID>0 and (questPortrait and questPortrait ~= 0 and QuestLogShouldShowPortrait() and (UIParent:GetRight() - cql:GetRight() > QuestModelScene:GetWidth() + 6)) then QuestFrame_ShowQuestPortrait(cql, questPortrait, questPortraitMount, questPortraitModelSceneID, questPortraitText, questPortraitName, -2, -43) QuestModelScene:SetFrameStrata("HIGH") else QuestFrame_HideQuestPortrait() endYou have to pass a modelSceneID to QuestFrame_ShowQuestPortrait. GetQuestLogPortraitGiver return the modelSceneID.
In reply to MedianAura:
I'll take a look tonight, thanks for looking into this.
I had a minor fix planned for the lore/story-so-far header background, but hopefully this can be fixed too. One of my alts has a quest with a model for testing, I just have to find which one again.
I have a big problem with this addon. If I want to abandon a quest, I'm pressing a button, the "Abandon" window pops for a few seconds and then vanishes.
Otherwise the addon is very cool, but without this feature it is much less useful =-(
In reply to ought:
Do you have any other quest addons? I'd try temporarily disabling those to see if the problem remains.
In reply to gello3:
I have Kaliel's Tracker, but disabling it did not fix the problem =-)
Ty for your addon, it's very nice.
After install this, it's not automatically tracking quest when get a new quest, how to track automatically?
In reply to even8etter:
This addon doesn't participate in the process of getting quests or automatically adding them to the objective tracker so I'm unsure how that behavior would change by installing this addon.
The cvar autoQuestWatch is the game's setting to automatically track quests. If the objective tracker is enabled (another cvar):
/console autoQuestWatch 1
/reload
In reply to gello3:
oh, it's working well, thanks
Just to let you know Lightheaded has been updated so you can revert the changes you made to get lightheaded to work.
In reply to tazrulez:
Thanks for heads up.
Hello, I stumbled over a problem with this lovely addon. If I use the "Show Map" button of a quest all world quest markers are gone. Even if I close the map and re-open the map again. Only a /reloadui will bring back the world quest markers. Thanks
