📖 Quexpert

Quest Efficiency Analyzer for World of Warcraft TBC Classic

Quexpert automatically analyzes all active quests in your quest log and rates their efficiency based on XP/Minute, estimated time, mob density, and quest chains. This helps you decide which quests are most worthwhile!

🎯 Features

Efficiency Rating

Each quest receives a rating from 1-10 based on:

  • XP per minute (primary factor)
  • Estimated completion time
  • Mob density (High/Medium/Low)
  • Quest chains (follow-ups increase value)

Clean UI

  • 2-column layout in WoW style
  • Sorted by zone and efficiency
  • Color-coded difficulty levels for quest names
  • Quest tags: [G] for group quests, * for class quests, >> X for follow-ups

Questie Integration

  • Automatically detects quest chains via Questie
  • Shows follow-up quests

Tooltip Integration

  • Shows efficiency analysis directly in quest tooltips

Minimap Button

  • Left-click: Open/close UI
  • Right-click: Settings

Rating Parameters

  • Min efficiency rating (1-10): Minimum rating for inefficient quest warning
  • Density weight (0-2): How much mob density affects the rating
  • Chain weight (0-2): How much quest chains affect the rating
  • Group solo multiplier (1.0-2.0): Time multiplier for group quests when solo

Color Customization

  • Use custom efficiency colors: Enable custom color selection
  • Color selection: Click color fields for Excellent/Good/Average/Poor/Terrible

📊 What Do The Values Mean?

Efficiency Rating (1-10)

  • 10.0 = Perfect! Very high XP/min, quickly completed
  • 8.0-9.9 = Very good
  • 6.0-7.9 = Good
  • 4.0-5.9 = Average
  • <4.0 = Inefficient (maybe do it later)

XP/m (XP per Minute)

Estimated experience points per minute. Higher = better!

Est. Time (Estimated Time)

Approximate minutes until completion (based on number of objectives)

Density (Mob Density)

  • High (Green): Many mobs, quick to farm
  • Medium (Yellow): Normal mob count
  • Low (Orange): Few mobs, longer travel times

Tags

  • * = Class quest (only for your class)
  • [G] = Group quest (difficult solo)
  • >> X = Has X follow-up quests (quest chain)

💡 Tips & Tricks

  1. Prioritize quests with >>X: Quest chains are often more efficient because you stay in the same zone
  2. Group quests solo? Quests with [G] have a time multiplier when you're solo. Best done in a group!
  3. Zone batching: Do all high efficiency quests in a zone together before moving on
  4. Tooltip check: Hover over quests in the quest log for detailed analysis
  5. Refresh: After accepting/completing quests, click "Refresh" in the UI or /reload
  6. Chat analysis: Use /qx analyze for a quick overview without UI

🔧 Troubleshooting

Problem: No quests are displayed

Solution: Make sure you have active quests in the quest log. Click "Refresh" or /reload

Problem: Quest chains are not detected

Solution: Install Questie for better chain detection

Problem: Efficiency values seem wrong

Solution: The calculation is based on TBC XP tables and estimated times. You can adjust the weighting in settings

Problem: Minimap button is missing

Solution: /qx minimap or enable "Show minimap button" in settings

Problem: UI is outside the screen

Solution: /reload to reset, or close WoW and delete the position from SavedVariables
