Description
Hi, I'm Harldan, creator of Follow The Arrow. I've been creating written and video leveling guides for World of Warcraft for about 6 years now, but I wanted to take things one step further with the launch of Midnight. Follow The Arrow is a completely free leveling addon which will eventually support all of my routes in retail WoW. There are no loopholes, no hidden premium versions, no paid DLC. Everything I make for the addon will be completely free to download for all players.
Currently the addon is in its early stages, and the available routes are focused around 80-90 Leveling. There are complete routes for both first character full campaign leveling, and an optimized 80-90 path specifically for alts. I've also begun integrating all of the Sojourner questlines into the addon, but they won't be complete for a little while.
With that being said, the development of FTA is an ongoing process, and all of the guides will receive constant updates over time to account for any changes made in future patches. Once everything related to 80-90 leveling is complete, I'll also be expanding the addon to include guides for Alt 1-80 Leveling, and there will be separate routes for both Alliance and Horde. Notably, this is something I've never had the flexibility to do before when my guides were constrained to a video format.
Since I've gotten some questions about it, I just want to throw in here somewhere that you can type /fta to open and close the addon.
This is the first major WoW addon I've ever created, and the first one I've ever published for other people to use. I'm still learning more about coding lua, and there might be a few unintended bugs early on. Rest assured, I'll keep working on the addon until it's flawless, and I welcome any and all feedback. If you run into an issue, or if you have a feature to suggest, feel free to reach out to me on Discord.
Please note that just because the addon is free does not mean it is open source. I will not be posting it to Github, and I am not accepting any code contributions. Asking me repeatedly will not magically change my stance on this topic. I understand some people just want to help, but I will be developing it entirely on my own, this is and has always been how I prefer to work.
My Discord tag is "Harldan".
My Discord server is open to everyone, and there's a channel dedicated to discussing the addon. You can join the server with this link: https://discord.gg/fBZEv5SA4N
Lastly, I'll continue to make leveling videos as visual supplements for the addon. If you're unfamiliar with my YouTube channel, you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/@Harldan1
The addon is and always will be completely free, any updates will also be free. However, continued development on the addon is going to require a lot of work, so I've finally set up a Patreon to allow anyone to support me if they wish.
