HUD Quest Tracker
(formerly Quest Pointer)
HUD Quest Tracker is a simple and smart objective tracker that shows you the way to your objectives.
Click on the quest POI button
in the tracker, or directly on the quest POI on your map
or use the smart tracking button
to follow the nearest quest to you by choosing completed/active state.
- Automatically tracks quests when you accept a new quest or complete an objective.
- The tracker arrow will hide automatically when you enter combat and reappear once you finish fighting.
Your quest tasks always stay on view, hover the tracker arrow to show quest details.
Easily cancel tracking.
