Quest Item Glow
Never sell or delete a quest item by accident again.
Quest Item Glow highlights the items in your bags that you need for your active quests—even regular items like "10 Lean Wolf Flank", which the game doesn't mark as quest items. A golden border makes them easy to spot at a glance.
Made for WoW Forever (client 1.60.x).
Features
- Quest item glow: Items required by your active quest objectives get a static quest-style border and glow in your bags.
- Sell confirmation: Right-clicking a quest item while a vendor is open asks you to confirm first. Left-click, drag, and tooltips keep working as usual.
- Delete warning: If you try to destroy a quest item, the confirmation popup shows an extra warning, and a message appears on screen.
- Bag addon support: Works with the default bags and tries to detect item buttons from other bag addons automatically.
- Out of combat only: All work is done outside combat, so it stays clear of combat restrictions.
- Lightweight: Updates are grouped together, and the quest log is only re-read when your quests change.
Slash Commands
/qig— Turn the addon on or off./qig scan— Turn detection of other bag addons on or off./qig debug— Show diagnostic info, including detected quest items and bag buttons found.
Installation
- Download the file.
- Extract the
QuestItemGlowfolder into yourInterface/AddOnsfolder. - Restart the game or type
/reload.
Good to Know
- Items are matched by name against your quest objectives, so the item name must match the name shown in the quest log.
- Dragging a quest item onto the vendor window does not trigger the sell confirmation.
- Items in the bank are not highlighted.
- Bag addon support depends on how each addon builds its item buttons. If the glow doesn't show up in yours, run
/qig debugand report it in the comments with the addon's name.
