Timeless Question Autocomplete

Talk to Senior Historian Evelyna on the Timeless Isle and this addon does the rest: it accepts A Timeless Question, works out the right answer among the four, clicks it, and hands the quest back in.

It shows its reasoning rather than asking you to trust it:

Timeless Question: found question: This emissary of the Horde felt that Silvermoon City was a little too bright and clean. Timeless Question: found answer: option 3 - Tatal. (option id) Timeless Question: correct. Timeless Question: quest turned in.

Works in every language

Not only the ones the author can read. The answer is matched on a server-side option identifier, never on words, so a Russian, Korean or Chinese client is answered correctly on first install — no setup, no data collection, nothing to configure.

Each question turns out to own a block of four consecutive gossip option ids, in display order, and those ids are the same for every client whatever its language. That was verified before being relied on: 144 ids captured, none of them changing across 320 openings, and eleven question blocks captured in two different languages came back identical apart from the text. It was then confirmed in game on a Russian client.

If a client ever sends no usable id, the addon falls back to matching the answer text, then to eliminating known wrong answers.

Supported

• Mists of Pandaria Classic and retail
• All 37 questions
• English, French, German, Spanish (EU and LA), Portuguese, Russian, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese

It corrects itself

Answering wrong costs nothing — Evelyna simply asks a different question. So the addon always attempts an answer, checks the result against your quest log, and remembers it. The game itself has the final word, and a mistake fixes itself on the next attempt.

Commands

/timelessquestion works as a longer alias.
