Description
ExtraQuestButton adds a button that will show the quest item for the closest quest with an item, it is basically the ExtraActionButton of quests!
By default it will share the key binding with the ExtraActionButton, which can be disabled by binding a key to the ExtraQuestButton.
If they share the key binding and both are to be shown, ExtraActionButton will be shown instead of the ExtraQuestButton.
Type /eqb in the chat to see the options.

Love this mod! but how can i move the button around?
Just want to say this is awesome! Exactly what I was looking for.
Hello, I've been using the addon for a long time now. I twink a lot too.
And it's often the case that I have to set the button again and again for twinks. Then the button is suddenly on the right side of the window.
Or in the middle of the screen. And in doing so, I set it with each character.
Always use "/eqb lock". But somehow the button doesn't lock properly. Unfortunately I don't get an error message either. :(
Am I doing something wrong?
In reply to mutanzoom:
You're not doing anything wrong, I've been noticing the same, having to run /eqb reset on alts. I will look into this once I have some spare time.
Suggested feature:
The ability to hide the button. So that it would still use quest item when you hit the keybind, but to not have the on screen icon.
otherwise, great addon, been looking for this kind of thing for ages, but just though "Hmm.... I wonder if there is an addon for it"
Thank you for the addon! Just what I was looking for. I use Kaliel's tracker and the quest button works and sometimes not. Very annoying.
I've had your addon for a while now and never had any problems. Thank you very much!
Hello @p3lim, can you make pls option for "mouse over mode"? I mean like any macros with [@cursor] modificator.
In reply to hydest_:
Blizzard added a mode for this in 9.2.0, try and see if that works.
@p3lim
First off i wanted to thank you for such a great addon! Thank you for keeping it up-to-date!
@ComManDerNomad
/eqb lock
Is there a way to reposition the button?
Will it be possible to show how many quest items i have? Example Quest is here: https://www.wowhead.com/quest=60842/to-serve-spriggan
I must farm 10x this Spriggans but this addon don't show it.
quest - https://www.wowhead.com/quest=58337/break-out item - https://www.wowhead.com/item=174040/chains-of-regret
quest #2 -- https://www.wowhead.com/quest=58440/mirror-mirror#comments (have to use cov ability door of shadow) and the [Death Lotus Powder] to enter the mirror.
Thanks for your addon!
I was in the process of trying to add this functionality to my addon (work in progress). But since you've already done all the work I much rather just use yours :)
Thanks again!
bugging on "rule 5: be audacious"
In reply to Fleymour:
"Bugging"? How so?
Hey, I noticed that this addon constantly allocates memory (~ 25Kb/s). The culplrit seems to be the C_QuestLog.GetInfo call in Utils.lua. I am thinking that info.questID could be replaced by C_QuestLog.GetQuestIDForLogIndex, but I haven't found a replacement for info.isHidden yet.
In reply to lygiarwen:
Really depend on that flag, so can't really replace it with anything else. Also with the GC it shouldn't be much of an issue, unless it doesn't properly clear it. Thanks for reporting tho!
In reply to p3lim:
I dont' know it now, but it's the one where you have to burn Eggs in shadowlands and walk over the small bugs. The fire stick doesn't show up in the button. Next time it pops up I'll report.
Is there a way to have a quest item always take priority over whatever the original extra action button is displaying? Good example is in the Maw the last time I tested this addon, you need to use the helm of domination to control those 5 maw guys. However, the extra action button is replaced with an ability in the Maw during this quest to call a bunch of death knights, I'd rather the quest item have priority. Not sure if that's a thing.
In reply to MabusGaming:
It's a nightmare to try to prevent the ExtraActionButton from doing anything and still work with other addons. I tried something like that for Suramar, which was a complete failure.
If you want to use both buttons you can separate the key bindings, I'll see if I can take a stab at it again if I encounter something like this myself in The Maw or somewhere else.
