Description
Forever Speed
How fast are you, really? Forever Speed puts a speedometer on your screen: a round gauge with a needle that sweeps to your current speed, big digits and the percentage of the normal run speed. Compare running, Plainsrunning, mounts, sprint, slows and trinkets at a glance.
- km/h, yd/s or % only. Running is shown as 13 km/h by default, and everything else scales with it
(
/fspeed run 15changes that). - Colours that tell you something: the reading is orange when you are slowed and green when you are faster than running.
- The scale fits your unit: 0 to 200 % of the run speed by default,
/fspeed max <percent>for fast mounts.
Five designs
| Design | Look |
|---|---|
| Classic | dark face, gold rim |
| Chrome | ivory face, silver rim |
| Neon | black face, glowing cyan |
| Minimal | only the ticks and the needle, the world shows through |
| Azeroth | a riveted gold rim like the game UI, a stone face and a sword for the needle |
Or switch to a single line of text (/fspeed text) if you want it small.
Options
/fspeed, or a right click on the minimap button, opens the options in the game's AddOns settings:
- show or hide the speedometer, and hide it in combat (it comes back when the fight is over);
- the minimap button (a click shows or hides the gauge; drag it around the minimap);
- lock the position so clicks go through;
- gauge or text line, the design and the unit;
- sliders for the size (50–300 %) and the opacity (10–100 %).
Drag the gauge to move it. Everything is saved per account.

Good to know
- In combat the game hides your speed from addons on Forever; the gauge then shows "-" until it can read it again.
- Made for the Forever client (Interface 16001); it also loads on the 1.12.1 client, where the speed is measured from your position on the map.
