Planned Quests

The bundled catalog is limited to eligible outdoor TBC group and escort quests. Dungeon, raid, PvP, class, profession, and holiday quests remain excluded.

Only the first Ring of Blood quest is included in the Planned Quest selector because groups normally complete the full chain consecutively.

Privacy and control

Group Quest Finder never automatically searches, whispers, invites, shares quests, or publishes your quest log. QuestPing searches and LookingForGroup posts always require a manual button click.

Special thanks to Dobban, Robban, Ivan, Muffinz, Didde, and the entire guild [GibbaGubbar] for helping create this addon and for all the ideas, feedback, and testing.
