Project Warforged

Project Warforged is a community addon built for guilds running the Warforged challenge — a curated, level-locked progression experience that strips World of Warcraft back to its roots. Players lock their experience at level 30 and work through a structured series of raid phases with strict item level caps, guild-only grouping rules, and era-appropriate consumables.

This addon is the official companion tool for the Warforged community. It enforces the ruleset, tracks progression, and keeps players honest — automatically where possible, and with officer-controlled manual overrides where the game's API falls short.

Features

Eligibility System

The addon is rank-aware. All alerts, checks, and UI elements only activate for characters who are:

At or below level 30
Holding an active Warforged guild rank (configurable by rank index)

Non-Warforged characters and levelling alts are completely unaffected.

Phase Progression Tracker

The core of the addon. Four phases of content unlock sequentially, each with its own item level cap and curated raid list.

Raids with guild achievements are tracked automatically via the WoW achievement API
Raids without guild achievements (Naxxramas, Ulduar, ICC variants, etc.) can be manually marked complete by officers
Each phase section is collapsible for a clean view
A live progress bar and raid count are shown per phase
Completing all raids in a phase automatically unlocks the next phase and announces it to the player

Gear Enforcement

Scans all 18 equipped item slots against the current phase's item level cap
Triggers on login and item equip — no constant background polling
Only active on level 30 characters
Violations appear as toast notifications (bottom-right, slide-in, auto-dismiss after 6 seconds)
Individual toasts can be dismissed manually, or cleared all at once via the Clear Gear Alerts button

Group & LFG Enforcement

The Dungeon Finder "Find Group" button is locked for eligible Warforged players when solo or when non-active-rank members are present in the group
Hovering the locked button shows a tooltip listing exactly who is blocking it and why
A Scan Group button in the Phase tab scans all current group members' gear against the ilvl cap and reports violations

XP Lock Reminder

Alerts the player at the moment they hit level 30 and sets an automatic map waypoint for Behsten in Stormwind (87.6, 36.0) — the XP-lock NPC
Warns on login if the character is at level 30 but XP may not be locked
Issues a critical alert if the character has levelled past 30, reminding them of the reroll rule

Chromie Timeline Reminder

Detects when a player leaves their starting zone without selecting a Chromie Timeline
Warns against Chromie Time scaling exploits, which are not permitted under Warforged rules

Rules Reference

A dedicated Rules tab inside the addon panel displays the full Warforged ruleset, colour-coded by category:

Level Locking
Gear Restrictions
Grouping Rules
Consumables & Enchants
Chromie Timeline requirements

Minimap Button

A draggable minimap button provides quick access to the panel. Its position is saved between sessions.
