Deathless

A hardcore leveling guide that wants your character to live.

Deathless walks you from level 1 to 60, or 58 to 70 in TBC Anniversary, along hand-written routes. Every step tells you where to go and what to do, and also what can kill you there. It is free, open source and works on its own: no other addon to install.

Routes

• Every race and class. Human, Dwarf, Gnome, Night Elf, Orc, Troll, Tauren and Undead, plus Skyborne on WoW: Forever, with every class each race can play.
• WoW: Forever routes 1-60 for both factions, made for Forever's new quests and zones.
• TBC Anniversary Outland routes, 58-70, for Horde and Alliance.
• Class quests at the level they open. Warrior stances, paladin Redemption, druid Bear and Aquatic Form, shaman totems and Call of Water, hunter pet taming, rogue poisons, priest racial spells, and warlock Voidwalker, Succubus and Felhunter. Each one shows only to characters who can take it.
• Starts where you are. Deathless reads your quest history and level and puts you at the first step you still have to do. That works even if you leveled without it.
• Fast routes. Routes are planned for quest XP per mile walked, with zone order chosen to avoid backtracking.
• Play modes:
  • Survival hides risky optional steps.
  • Speedrun hides slow, low-XP detours.
  • Group Quests and Dungeons are off by default. The solo route never needs a group.
• Self-Found mode removes every step that needs the Auction House, mail or trading.

Hardcore safety

• Danger banner: steps with danger notes show a warning. LETHAL steps need a click to acknowledge before the guide moves on.
• Level-gap monitor: warns when a target is dangerously above your level. Skull-level targets always warn.
• Elites and patrols: known dangerous NPCs per zone, with short advice when you hover over or target them.
• Emergency plan: a per-class checklist of escape tools (Vanish, Blink, Feign Death, potions, bandages). It warns before dangerous steps if something is missing.
• Consumables check: reminds you at vendor stops when potions or bandages run low before a dangerous stretch.
• Death log: records each death's zone, level, step and killer, so your next character learns from it.

Navigation

• A smooth directional arrow with distance and ETA. It takes flight paths and boats into account and knows which flight paths your character has learned.
• World map and minimap pins for the current and next steps.
• A target button for the mobs your objective needs. Mobs drop off the button as you finish each kill objective.
• Optional TomTom support.

WoW: Forever extras

• Talent builds for every class, level by level, in a talent window.
• Gear window for shamans and warlocks: best-in-slot items per level bracket, with how to get each one (quest, dungeon boss, vendor or crafting).
• Loot browser: dungeon drops by boss, quest rewards by zone, crafted items and vendors.
• Side guides: class quest chains, crafted and dungeon gear runs for shamans, and the Darkspear Raiders reputation guide.

Retail

The allied race window (/dl races) guides you through unlocking Dark Iron, Kul Tiran, Lightforged, Mechagnome, Void Elf, Highmountain, Mag'har, Nightborne, Vulpera and Zandalari.

Slash commands

Help improve the guides

Turn on Options > Help Improve the Guides (or type /dl contribute on). While you play, Deathless notes where quests start and end, where objectives are, the XP they gave, and the flight masters, vendors and trainers you visit.

It records nothing about you: no character, realm or account names. The recordings stay on your computer until you choose to share them with /dl report.

Installing

Install through the CurseForge app, or extract the zip into your client's Interface/AddOns folder, so that Deathless/Deathless.toc sits directly inside AddOns/Deathless. Every library it uses is bundled.

Original content

Every route is written from the game's own data: QuestieDB, the client's flight and map tables, and recordings from players. None is copied from RestedXP, Zygor, Guidelime packs or any other guide.

Changelog for this upload (1.40.0)

Fixed

• Objective waypoints (WoW: Forever): new waypoints from recorded kill spots for 14 objectives, most in the Shimmering Flats. Load Lightening now points first to where the vultures actually are.
• Flight paths: new /dl fp add <name> and /dl fp remove <name> commands correct the list by hand. Paths learned before 1.38.0 rebuilt the list are missing from it until you land there again.
