QuestQuill

##QuestQuill

QuestQuill is a standalone quest helper for the original World of Warcraft 3.3.5a client (build 12340). It bundles quest and location data with a readable, text-only objectives tracker and world-map quest markers.

Features

• Compact transparent objectives tracker with wrapped text and mouse-wheel paging.
• World-map quest markers with tooltips that list overlapping quests.
• Optional world-map fog removal and quest turn-in notices for party and raid members using QuestQuill.
• Map-only Tracking menu for resources and services, with explicit ON/OFF indicators.
• Optional quest minimap markers, disabled by default.
• Optional legacy TomTom navigation by Alt-clicking a quest title or map marker.
• No built-in navigation arrow and no Questie installation required.

Compatibility and installation

Targets original WoW 3.3.5a only. It is not designed for Retail or Wrath Classic 3.4.x. Custom-server quests and modified locations may differ from the included data.

Move the old Questline335 addon out of Interface/AddOns, then extract the QuestQuill folder there and enable QuestQuill. The included README explains how to copy saved settings from the old folder name. Open Interface → AddOns → QuestQuill for settings. Click Tracking on the world map for resource and service filters.

Chat commands

Type these in WoW chat. Replace placeholders such as <name> with the name you want to look up. For example, /qldb vendor Fine Thread shows where to buy Fine Thread.

Alpha status

Version 0.5.0 is an beta.

Please report your client/server, other map/UI addons and exact Lua error when reporting a problem.
