Fixed

Window

Added

Routes

  • Unchecked flight paths: A warning shows until a continent's flight map has been opened once.

Fixed

Routes

1.3.0 (2026-10-16)

Added

1.2.0 (2026-10-16)

Added

Routes

  • New boat routes: Routes use Forever's boats, such as Menethil Harbor to Southshore.
  • Deeprun Tram: Alliance routes between Stormwind and Ironforge can take the tram.
  • Portals: Routes use the Darnassus portal, and the Dalaran portal for Skyborne characters.
  • Timed crossings: Boat, zeppelin and tram trips are timed, so later routes use real times.
  • Flight paths on the way: Routes can stop to learn a flight path when flying on from there is faster.
  • Flight path reminder: Entering a zone lists its unlearned flight masters. Click one to go there.

Instances

  • New dungeons: City of Dalaran, The Drowned City and Forever's other new dungeons are listed.

Window

  • Changelog: A Changelog view shows what changed in each version.

Changed

Routes

Arrow

Fixed

Routes

  • Routes included pointless stops, such as running to a dock without taking the boat
  • Routes were replanned mid-flight and replaced the flight with a run

Arrow

  • Step names in the step list wrapped and unwrapped as the distance changed

Routes

  • Routes ran across the sea to and from Teldrassil and Feathermoon
  • Routes were lost after a loading screen or an instance
  • Routes sent non-druids through Nighthaven and new characters to Plaguelands towers
  • Unreachable flight paths came back after a loading screen

Arrow

  • The arrow kept saying Riding after hearthing or walking off the dock
  • Arrived stayed on after walking away from the destination
  • The Fly here hint and flying status failed a few yards from the flight master
  • The arrow flipped between steps at the edge of a flight master

Routes

  • Learn-first routes could lead away from the destination
