In the CN server's "Azeroth Adventure Guide" event, there is a "Guide Rewards" feature. It requires you to complete at least 10 "Newbie Training" runs per week to claim the weekly reward chest, which contains skewered fish and loot boxes used for the lucky draw.

However, the "Newbie" status is judged at the Battle.net account level, and neither Blizzard nor NetEase provides an official API to determine whether a player is a Newbie. Currently, the only way to track it is indirectly through NetEase's official MeetingStone addon.

Based on NetEase MeetingStone's Newbie detection logic and local cache, this addon expands the Newbie status display—which originally could only be seen when hosting your own party—directly into the MeetingStone list and the game's default tooltips. Now, you can see the Party Leader's Newbie icon while browsing for a party, making it much easier to complete your weekly Guide Rewards tasks.

* Only supports characters whose Newbie data has already been cached by MeetingStone.
** Due to the Premade Groups interface limitations, it only supports querying the Party Leader's status. It cannot fetch data for other party members.

Addon is currently available in Chinese only and exclusively supports CN servers (as other regions cannot participate in NetEase's exclusive events). For more details regarding the addon introduction and its underlying principles, please visit: NGA Forum, GitHub.

Addon has no toggle options or configuration panels and works out of the box upon installation. Each time it loads, you will see a chat message confirming that the addon loaded successfully. You can type /msd in-game to check the addon communication logs for NetEase MeetingStone's Newbie information.

Before using this addon, you MUST install the original NetEase MeetingStone addon (Beta 12.1.4 or higher). It is NOT compatible with "Happy MeetingStone" (开心集合石) or other modified versions included in various UI compilations, as most of them have stripped out NetEase's online query functions, making it impossible to retrieve Newbie data.

国服在艾泽拉斯冒险手册活动中有个“向导嘉奖”玩法，它要求你每周至少完成10次“新兵训练”方可领取周奖励宝箱，获取用于抽奖的鱼串和宝箱

但由于“新兵”的判断是战网维度，且暴雪和网易都没有提供官方的API接口来判断玩家是否为新兵，目前只能通过网易官方的集合石插件来间接识别

本插件基于网易集合石的新兵判断逻辑和本地缓存，将原本仅支持自己开组时查看的新兵信息拓展到集合石列表页和游戏原生的鼠标提示中，在集合石寻找队伍时即可看到队长的新兵标志，更方便完成每周的向导嘉奖任务

* 仅支持集合石已缓存过新兵数据的角色
** 受预组队接口限制，仅支持队长信息查询，无法获取队伍成员信息

插件目前仅提供简体中文，仅支持在国服使用（其他区域无法参与网易的专属活动），更多插件介绍和原理简述：NGA论坛、Github

插件无开关和配置功能，安装即生效，每次加载后你会看到一条提示信息，代表加载成功，你可以使用/msd查看网易集合石新兵信息的插件通信记录

使用插件前必须安装网易原版集合石插件（Beta 12.1.4 以上），不兼容开心集合石和各整合包的修改版，它们大多阉割了网易的联网查询功能，导致无法获取新兵数据
