FreshSetup

Sets up new level 1 characters on WoW: Forever: skips the intro cinematic and restores your macros, keybinds, action bars, layout and addon settings.

FreshSetup

Set your UI up once, then every new character starts ready to play. FreshSetup skips the intro cinematic and gives brand new level 1 characters your macros, keybinds, action bars and layout, so you can start questing straight away.

Features

  • One-time save: type /fs save on a character you have set up. New level 1 characters of the same class get the same macros, keybinds, action bar placement and Edit Mode layout.
  • Cinematic skip: the intro cinematic is stopped the moment it starts.
  • Sensible starting settings: new characters start with action bars 1-5 shown, combined bags on and non-critical world preloading off for shorter loading screens. Your own saved values always win over these.
  • RestedXP: your settings, frame positions and sizes, and your current guide carry over to new characters.
  • Questie: keeps your profile choice, and quest auto accept and turn in start switched on. Turn them off in Questie and they stay off.
  • Spell queue window: see and change the current value from the options panel.
  • Fresh account presets: paste-in files for EllesmereUI, RestedXP, Naowh Forever, Leatrix Plus and ForeverAuras / WeakAuras, used only when the game has no saved settings for that addon yet.
  • Lightweight: no libraries, and it does nothing on characters that are not brand new.

Options

Open with /fs or Game Menu > Options > AddOns > FreshSetup.

Every part can be switched off on its own: macros, keybinds, action bars, Edit Mode layout, console variables and each supported addon. Everything is on by default.

Slash commands

Command What it does
/fs Open the options panel
/fs save Save this character's setup for its class
/fs load Apply the saved setup to this character now
/fs save CLASS / /fs load CLASS Save to or load from another class's profile, for example /fs load MAGE

/freshsetup works in place of /fs.

Notes

  • Built for WoW: Forever.
  • The setup is applied automatically only to brand new characters (level 1 with no experience). Use /fs load for any other character.
  • Profiles are saved per class.
  • Questie profiles are shared between characters, so auto accept and turn in are switched on for every character using that profile, once. After that the addon leaves them alone.
  • EllesmereUI, Naowh Forever and Leatrix Plus already share their settings across all characters on an account. The preset files only matter on a fresh account or install.
  • The folder must stay named !FreshSetup so it loads before the addons it sets up.
