New Loremaster
Starting with the Loremaster release for 5.4, Loremaster will require the use of the Grail addon to provide quest data. The interface and functionality will remain basically the same, but because quest information will be taken from Grail, the goal is to provide more up-to-date information for Loremaster. Please create a ticket if you find problems with the quest information. If there are interface problems, or functionality problems with Loremaster please comment here.
Loremaster
Loremaster helps you locate any quests you are missing from any Loremaster achievement. The database contains over 5,600 quests extracted from Wowhead but excludes any that do not count towards a Loremaster achievement. Please note this addon is intended to be used after you have finished questing through the usual methods and are looking for quests to complete the achievement. If you try to use it an area you haven't quested in before, it will get very confusing, very quickly.
Loremaster also includes an option to display the locations of questgivers for incomplete quests on the main game map.
Please note: Loremaster does not know if you have completed any prerequisite breadcrumb trails or achieved any required faction levels, that's up to you to determine with the help of the information that Loremaster presents to you.
Loremaster is a standalone addon, but is much more effective when used with excellent TomTom and LightHeaded addons which Loremaster will interact with.
- You can get TomTom from here: wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/tomtom.aspx
- You can get Lightheaded from here: www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7017-LightHeaded.html
If LightHeaded is not installed, Loremaster will generate a link for the selected quest that you can paste into your web browser to take you straight to the relevant page on Wowhead.
Using Loremaster
Loremaster can be displayed using one of three methods
- Open your Quest Log and click the Loremaster button at the bottom
- Click the Data Broker button if you have a data broker addon installed (see below)
- Type /lm or /lm show
Quests are colour coded as follows:
- The quest begins a series
- <White> The quest is a standalone quest
- The quest begins with an item drop
- The quest is part of a series

In reply to Nimhfree:
If the lag was associated with looting instead of killing, then it might be associated with Grail instead. Grail makes calls when looting is performed in the zones that have treasure chests since Blizzard has no easy way to detect this otherwise. You can disable this in Grail if you do not care about tracking the treasure chests with Grail. If the problem is with killing and not looting, then the issue is probably not related to Grail.
Not long after installing this, I discovered I was getting huge FPS lag everytime I killed a bunch of mobs at once with AOE. I wasn't sure what addon was causing it so I just disabled each one until the lag stopped, and indeed this addon was causing my lag. Could be a compatiblity issue of some kind with my other mods.
I posted this question earlier, but I cannot find my post. I don't know WHERE it is in the long post heirarchy. So I HOPE this gets to someone who KNOWS the answer to my question! :+)
I am getting a "dependency missing" message next to Loremaster, Wholly, and Grail. NONE of them willl work with this missing dependency.
WHAT IS THE DEPENDENCY they are all MISSING?
Thanks.
I'm getting "dependency missing" on Loremaster, Wholly, and Grail. NONE of them work because of this.
What must I do to get the missing dependency?
Thanks
update? 7.2
Thank you for the information.
If you mean you have to load out of date addons, then some waiting will need to happen. If you mean something is broken, then that is another matter. I was hoping to address some other issues before making a new release. At that point the TOC will be updated with the latest version so one no longer needs to load out of date addons for this. When 7.1 is released next week I anticipate a new TOC will be needed anyway, so most likely shortly thereafter a new release of Loremaster will happen.
This addon is not up to date with wow. Can you update it?
showing to me a bunch of mage only quests at azsuna (im a paladin)
Apparently Loremaster is out of date? i have the Grail addon too and unsure why this is happening? I have 10 quests that are bugging me on where their locations are, and this addon is the only thing to help. it used to help but because I had time away from the game, things obviously changed
i have been using this addon to get loremaster and it has helped alot.. but all i have left is thre quest in icecrown and only two show i have left. but one of them has no quest shown for me i have 137/140 the kibli killhertz shows know quest i just need three one in this zone and im done until the new area. please help me. i have tried everything
Not sure if anyone else is having an issue, but for some reason Mount Hyjal is not showing up in this list and it is making it pretty difficult to complete the Zone. I had my fiancee check on his computer too with his toon and same thing happened.
Side note. My character has a special symbol in her name, there appears to be an issue on blizzards end too.
I really wanted to like this as the setup and use is very appealing and easy but the problem I have is that this is showing quests I've already completed. I'm trying to finish Loremaster Kalimdor and it had me going back and forth way too many times in Winterspring, trying to figure out what I'd done and what not. I dunno why it's like this, maybe I did something wrong, but I can't use it if it is showing stuff I've finished already.
clearstatuses" to see if that helps to reset what Grail thinks your completion status of the quests is?
I'm so sorry for not having answered in such a long time. I have had real life issues with my 3 & 1 year olds and have not had much time other than to hop on and update when I can. Unfortunately I am not using this mod as of this moment, it is disabled. But the next time I have time to get back on and actually try it out I absolutely will. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to my comment, it's much appreciated.
The "coding" for the current add-on needs fixed (LOREMASTER). Too many LUA-ERRORS.
