ClassicCodex
This is a partial rewrite of pfQuest/ShaguDB. It is an addon to show you where you can pickup quests, where to turn in quests, where to find mobs / items required for quests, etc.
Reminder to auto-updater users
If you are using a auto-updater (likes twitch app) and you have a version less than v1.3.0, You may not be able to automatically update to v1.3.0 or later.
Because the original author (pgarneau) has deleted his project, and now you are seeing a new project with a different id but the same name. For auto-updaters, they are two different projects, so it cannot automatically update ClassicCodex to the version I uploaded.
Please remove ClassicCodex from the auto-updater and add it again to get the version I uploaded.

Terrible layout!
Unfortunately, CurseForge's Markdown engine does not support tables, so you will see a messy layout.

Hide & Restore Markers
Quest
Hold down the shift key and click on a quest marker on the minimap or the world map to hide it.
You can unhide it by clicking the "Show All Quests You Manually Hide Again" button on the interface options.
Or, search the quest in Codex browser with the ! prefix, then click the star icon in front of it.
Spawn
Hold down the shift key and click on a spawn marker on the minimap or the world map to hide a type of spawn.
You can find the corresponding quest in the quest log and click the "Show" button to display it again.
Or you can do a /reload and it will appear again.
Report an Issue
It is highly recommended to provide pictures or videos about the issue. A picture is worth a thousand words. The picture contains a lot of information, including the symptoms of the problem, the specific quest, and what language your client uses. These details are often ignored when describing in language. Also, we have several examples. When describing in language, developers have been unable to figure out what exactly happened. When the screenshot was sent, the problem was cleared immediately.
If you have a hard time sending pictures at CurseForge, please consider going to Github. You can drag the image directly into the Github input box. https://github.com/SwimmingTiger/ClassicCodex/issues
Is it possible to do something about the ! for the Shadowy Assasin quest in South Shore? Currently, it looks like this:

awesome addon bro
I was looking on blood of heroes spawn and it helped me well.
is it possible to add a spawn ? if not it would be awesome to add the feature.
Hope you will continue to upgrade :)
Is there a way to disable Drop rate information? It is not accurate and is more misleading then helpful.
Question: Can we have a toggle for displaying quest progress in tooltips?
I use Questie for the tooltip tracking as I quest with a couple friends of mine and it has a feature to communicate between party members on progress.
Or if you could add that functionality, that would be awesome as well.
Otherwise, Thanks for continuing an amazing project!
Recorded your suggestions. I will try to implement it when I have time.
In reply to swimstiger:
Awesome! Thanks!
Can't find this addon on Twitch App. :/
I can find it. Please type "ENTER" after you inputted "classiccodex".
And if you have a version less than v1.3.0, you need uninstall it from Twitch app and search it again. Because it is a new project since v1.3.0. The author of the old project deleted it, and I recreated it.
In reply to swimstiger:
Thanks but I can't uninstall it from Twitch App (not even listed in "My Addons" list). I'll try to remove it manually.
Regarding this update with WowHead, is there something that we're supposed to be doing? Don't know much about WowHead.
You don't need to do anything, simply update and enjoy a more complete database.
The change log is automatically generated by a program and contains my changes to the data collection tools. These tools are included in the source code and I will run it to download NPC coords from WowHead and improve the addon database. These tools are not released to users.
Of course, if you want to contribute to ClassicCodex and report some missing NPC coordinates (such as this https://classic.wowhead.com/npc=3301/morgan-ladimore#submit-your-data), you can consider installing the WowHead client (https://classic.wowhead.com/client) to record and upload your data.
In reply to swimstiger:
Great, thanks!
This is the best quest addon, please never stop updating this. I love you
Is there a way to upload the quests I’ve already done? Like if I get this addon at level 48 will it be able to tell what I’ve done before I got the addon? Also, is there a way to filter the quests by rep? I’m grinding to exalted with stormwind and would LOVE to be able to make sure ive done all the available quests... I’m pretty sure I have, but I would love the piece of mind. Really cool addon, though, either way! Oh, one last question, say I search runecloth, will the database tell me which mobs WILL drop the cloth, or will it tell me which mobs CAN drop it?
> Is there a way to upload the quests I ’ve already done?
You don't need to upload it, the addon can get a list of your completed quests from the Wow server. You can enter @ in the database to browse this list. AddOn Options also provides a shortcut button "List Completed Quests".
See https://github.com/SwimmingTiger/ClassicCodex#search for more search tips.
Filter the quests by rep is will. I will add this feature later.
And when you search runecloth, you can click the sword icon on its right. ClassicCodex will draw all points on the map that may drop the item and provide a reference drop probability.
Is here where we can post suggestions or do we post them under 'issues'? Anyway ...
Suggestion:
Are there any future plans to index searches by title/occupation? For example I may not know specifically who/where the nearest trainer is so is it possible to search /codex trainer or perhaps if I wanted to locate the nearest flightmaster I could search /codex flight, something like that; or is it more than you plan to program (this would be similar to what mobmap used to do).
The responsibility of the NPC is not currently included in the ClassicCodex database, so it does not know which NPC is the trainer and which NPC is the flightmaster. It takes a lot of work to add this data.
Maybe ClassicCodex will add this data in the future. But before that, HandyNotes_NPCs is a better choice.
In reply to swimstiger:
OK I can do that, thanks.
In the future if you decide to do it, mebbe you can add a database gathering function when a player interfaces with an npc. Then the players would use an upload feature to add to your database for you. Mobmap did the same thing; it's something to consider. In the meantime, Handynotes sounds like a plan ;)
This is a good idea. I know that GatherMate2 has this feature, but it is limited to collectable resources.
