Tidsvakta

NPC and world-object age information for World of Warcraft: Forever.

Tidsvakta adds estimated lifespan and spawn details directly to in-game NPC tooltips. Built specifically for Warcraft Forever, it keeps the information lightweight, configurable and out of the way when you enter instanced content.

Highlights

• NPC lifespan: see approximately how long a creature or vehicle has existed.
• Spawn details: optionally show the estimated spawn date/time, current clock, NPC ID, spawn index and server/layer details.
• World-object support: opt in to experimental lifetime tooltips for compatible objects.
• Instance safety: automatically stops processing NPC/object time information in dungeons, raids, battlegrounds, arenas and other instances, and resumes once you're back in the open world. The safety pause cannot be disabled.
• Compact settings: movable, clean settings interface with optional mini launcher.
• Automatic UI styling: complements EllesmereUI when installed and uses a Blizzard-inspired style otherwise.
• Optional Norwegian localization: switches to Norwegian labels when Warcraft Forever Men På Norsk (WFN) is active; otherwise uses English.

Commands

Important notes

NPC/object age is inferred from readable GUID timing data and should be treated as an estimate, not as a future respawn timer. Some NPCs and objects will not have usable time data. Object support is experimental and disabled by default.

Dungeon/raid/BG/arena auto-pause is always active. Tidsvakta does not modify unit tooltips while paused.

For the cleanest experience, disable any other addon that inserts equivalent NPC lifespan lines into tooltips.
