QuestIcons

Questicons

Retail-style quest icons on enemy nameplates for WoW: Forever.
A sword shows on every mob you still need to kill, and a loot bag on every mob that drops an item you still need, with your progress (4/10) right under the icon. Just like Midnight, but on your favourite realm.

It goes further than retail when you group up: party members who use the addon share objectives, progress and learned drops, see each other's quests in a party panel, and get an alert when everyone is ready to turn in.

What the icons mean

• Sword - kill this mob for an unfinished quest
• Loot bag - this mob drops an item you still need
• Gear - use an item on this mob, or interact with it
• Yellow ! - this mob can drop an item that starts a quest
• Silver star - rare mob, even without a quest
• Yellow ? - on your maps: where you picked up a quest that is now complete
• Gold ring - elite or group mob
• Icons in a party member's class colour - that player needs the mob, not you

Features

Nameplates

• Quest icons left of the health bar, right of it, or above the name
• Progress under the icon, like 4/10
• Pulse animation, a glow behind the health bar, and a fade-out when an objective is finished
• Three icon styles: Retail, Classic and Minimal dot
• Optional colour per quest, so mobs for different quests are easy to tell apart
• Sliders for size, scale, opacity and position
• Test mode: a sample icon on every nameplate, so you can set it up without a quest
• Works with Blizzard nameplates, Plater and KuiNameplates

Smart detection

• Kill objectives read straight from your quest log
• Learns quest-item drops: loot a quest item once and that mob type gets the loot bag from then on
• Uses Questie data when it is installed, so loot bags show before the first drop
• Ignore list for single mob types or whole quests
• Works on other game languages, including Chinese and Korean

Party play (with party members who also use the addon)

• See what your friends still need, with their progress in their class colour
• Tooltip line: "Needed by: Buddy (5/6), Anna (done)"
• Party quest panel: everyone's quests side by side. Gold = everyone has it, blue = you are missing it, with who to ask
• Learned quest-item drops are shared with the whole group
• "Everyone is done!" banner when the whole group has finished a shared quest
• Loot reminder when a mob that can drop your quest item dies
• Mark quest mob: puts a raid marker (skull by default) on the nearest quest mob

Maps

• Quest-mob markers on the world map and the minimap
• Turn-in markers for completed quests
• Markers disappear by themselves once they are no longer needed

Alerts

• Retail-style "Objective Complete" and "Quest Complete!" banners
• One sound when a whole quest is complete. No noise on every single kill or loot.

Extras

• Quest item bar: clickable buttons for usable quest items in your bags
• Hide icons in combat or inside dungeons and raids
• Session stats: quests turned in, objectives done, quest mobs killed
• Banners and tooltips in English, German, French, Spanish and Russian

Settings

• Settings window with tabs, opened with /qpi, /questicons or the minimap button
• Minimap button (LibDBIcon) that you can hide
• Profiles: shared across characters or one per character
• Export / import your settings as one line of text to share with friends
• Key bindings for the most used actions
• Built-in debug window (/qpi debug) that makes bug reports easy

Commands

Minimap button: left-click = settings, Shift + left-click = party panel, Ctrl + left-click = debug window, right-click = icons on/off, middle-click = test mode.

Good to know

• Party features need your friends to run this addon too (version 3.0 or newer).
• Map markers are approximate: they show where you were standing when the mob appeared.
• The ? turn-in marker is where you picked up the quest. Some quests are turned in somewhere else.
• Quest item buttons work by mouse click and update right after combat.
• The settings window is in English.

Found a bug?

Type /qpi debug, click Run self-test, then Select all, copy with Ctrl+C and paste it in a comment. That report tells me exactly what went wrong.
