Vellum

Unlisted
A lightweight leveling guide. Pick a quest, follow the arrow, advance automatically when each objective completes.

Vellum

Vellum is a quest-following leveling guide for World of Warcraft. Pick a quest, get an arrow, follow it. When the objective completes, Vellum advances to the next one. When the quest is done, the arrow swings to the turn-in NPC.

Vellum is part of a small family of addons by ChronicTinkerer:

  • Cairn, the framework (Settings, DB, Slash, Events, Log, EditMode).
  • LibCodex-1.0, the static quest / NPC / item / object data layer.
  • Vellum, the page that renders the guide on top of those two.

Stones, book, page.

What v0.1 does today

  • One quest at a time. /vellum follow [id|name] picks one. /vellum follow with no argument adopts whichever quest your super-tracker has selected.
  • Three-layer coordinate resolver. Vellum tries Blizzard's own next-waypoint first, then the LibCodex POI database, then the quest's giver / turn-in coords. The arrow shows you which source resolved it.
  • Wax-seal compass arrow. Parchment disc, brass ring, rotating wax-red chevron, ink-tone label, distance below. Brand-matched with Cairn and Codex.
  • Sticky guide window. Parchment panel that prints the current objective text with three-line wrap and an ink-tinted border.
  • Soft TomTom support. If TomTom is installed, Vellum routes through it. Otherwise it uses Blizzard's native super-tracker.

Slash commands

/vellum follow [id|name] start following a quest /vellum stop clear the active quest /vellum status print framework status /vellum codex diagnostic ping into LibCodex /vellum reset wipe saved variables to defaults

Dependencies

Required: LibCodex-1.0, Cairn Optional: TomTom

Honest v0.1 scope

This is build 1. Vellum follows ONE quest at a time. It is not yet a full curated leveling guide. Out of scope for v0.1, on purpose: cross-zone routing, curated guide files, auto-pick-up of the next quest, class / race / faction branching, sound cues, progress bars, localization. Those are roadmap items, not bugs.
