InstaHelper

Just hit 70? InstaHelper shows you what stands between you and the heroics, and later the raids.

One window, drawn in Horde or Alliance artwork, answers what a fresh level 70 keeps looking up: which reputation do I need, which quest chains are left, where do I buy the key, and which dungeon should I run first for my spec?

Made for The Burning Crusade Classic, Anniversary realms.

Features

Reputation

• Every faction that sells a heroic key, with its own progress bar: standing, value / max, and how much is left to Revered.
• Where to farm: the dungeon that pays the most reputation per clear at your current standing. It knows that normal-mode Ramparts, Blood Furnace, Slave Pens, Underbog, Auchenai Crypts and Sethekk Halls stop paying at Honored.
• Revered means done: once you reach Revered with a faction, its bar is drawn full and says "Revered" with a tick. The numbers inside the standing still show under the bar and in the tooltip. Can be turned off ("Revered as complete").
• On-screen reputation bars: tick a faction to pin it as a bar. You can move and resize the bars, set their opacity and spacing, pick the faction frame, the fill (theme or standing colour) and the text format, and turn tooltips on or off. A finished (Revered) bar turns green.
• Show in dungeons: in a Normal dungeon, the bar of the faction its heroic key needs appears on its own until you reach Revered.

Attunements

• Step by step through the key chains for Shattered Halls, Shadow Labyrinth, the Arcatraz and the Magisters' Terrace Heroic ("Hard to Kill").
• Each step is marked completed, in your quest log or not started, with the quest giver, zone and coordinates.
• Map button on each step: sets a TomTom waypoint, or prints the location to chat.
• Finished chains start collapsed. Optional breadcrumb quests can be shown or hidden.

Heroic Keys

• One card per key: the vendor, where to find them, the standing required, the price, and whether you own it, can buy it now or are still locked out.
• Keys on your keyring count too, and so do the Anniversary realms' Communal (account-bound) keys. Owned keys can be hidden.
• Hellfire Citadel is handled correctly: Honor Hold for Alliance, Thrallmar for Horde.

Vendors

• Everything the reputation vendors sell: the heroic-key factions plus the Consortium, Aldor, Scryers, Shattered Sun, Violet Eye, Scale of the Sands, Ashtongue, Kurenai / Mag'har, Sporeggar, Ogri'la and Skyguard.
• Items grouped by the standing they need, with the vendor, the price and the upgrade over what you wear.
• Everything is listed: what you cannot buy yet is shown under a lock, with how much reputation is still to go.
• For me: only what your character can use: gear for your class and spec, recipes of your professions, and tabards, consumables and mounts.
• Search, quality and slot filters, and a ranking of the factions whose vendors hold the most upgrades for you.

Loot

• Browse all 16 TBC dungeons, Normal and Heroic, boss by boss.
• Filter to your class (or any class), check drop rates (approximate, from Wowhead samples), and search.
• Compares items against what you have equipped. Turn on "Upgrades only" to see just the upgrades, and use the dungeon ranking to see where to go first.

Group Finder

• "List in Group Finder" button under the dungeon and raid list: lists you in the game's Group Finder for the instance you are looking at (a dungeon at the chosen difficulty, or Normal and Heroic together), moves an existing listing there, or takes it down.
• When listing is not possible (no matching activity, or you are in a group but not its leader) the button says why. If the addon cannot list you, the game's Group Finder window opens instead.

Raids

• All nine TBC raids: Karazhan, Gruul's Lair, Magtheridon, Serpentshrine Cavern, Tempest Keep, Mount Hyjal, Black Temple, Zul'Aman and Sunwell Plateau.
• Loot per boss, with tier tokens shown as the piece they buy for your class, plus the Opera variants, the Chess Event and Zul'Aman's timed chests.
• Access: every raid attunement chain (Karazhan, Serpentshrine, Tempest Keep, Hyjal, Black Temple…), with parallel steps such as the three Trials of the Naaru. It also follows the Anniversary rules: set your realm's phase, and from phase 3 the Karazhan / SSC / TK attunements are marked as no longer required.
• Lockouts: saved raids and reset timers for all your characters in one place. You can also print them with /ih lockouts.
• Raids and items from a later phase are faded and left out of the ranking.

Settings

• Every option is on the window's own Settings tab. Nothing is buried in the game's interface options.
• Theme: My faction, Horde, Alliance or Plain.
• An optional one-line login summary in chat: keys owned and the next key you can buy.
• Minimap button (left-click opens the window, right-click opens the settings). It works with minimap-button collector addons.

Commands

Languages

• English
• Hungarian (Magyar)
• German (Deutsch)
• French (Français)
• Italian (Italiano)
• Croatian (Hrvatski)

The addon starts in your client's language. You can switch language on the Settings tab.

Optional dependencies

• TomTom: for waypoint arrows. Without it, locations are printed to chat.

Notes

• Dungeon, quest, loot, vendor and drop-rate data come from Wowhead TBC. Drop rates are Wowhead's recorded samples and are approximate.
• On Anniversary realms some attunements are account-wide. An alt may be able to enter even when its own quest flag says otherwise.
• Planned: per-spec stat weights for loot ranking, and the Badge of Justice vendor.
