XPBar Island

XPBar Island puts experience, reputation, honor, pet experience and skills into one compact HUD “island” that sits flush to the top of your screen. Hover it and it springs open into a full panel; leave it alone and it stays out of the way.

Built specifically for World of Warcraft: WoW Forever. No other addon, library or shared media is required — just drop it in and play. It is lightweight, pure Lua, and designed to safely handle the APIs available on the WoW Forever client.

WHAT IT TRACKS

Experience: current / max, percentage, rested XP, quest XP, XP per hour, kills to level, time to level and a live session graph.

Reputation: your watched faction, its full standing ladder (Hated, Hostile, Unfriendly, Neutral, Friendly, Honored, Revered, Exalted), the bar, the next tier and how much is left to it.

Honor: rank, honor progress and weekly honor where the client exposes it.

Pet experience: your active pet’s XP or health, its level and happiness.

Skills: the progress of your skill-ups in one place.

PARTY SYNC — SEE YOUR GROUP

If other players in your party also have XPBar Island, the island reads their level and XP and shows a live party comparison right inside the panel, so you can see who is about to ding.

Group members who do not have the addon are still shown by class color and level.

Only your level and XP are ever shared — nothing else leaves your client — and you can switch the whole feature off at any time in Settings > Party & Share.

SWITCH ON THE FLY

Click a chip to flip between Experience, Reputation, Honor, Pet XP and Skills.

Auto-switch can briefly show a type whenever it changes, and at max level the bar can replace XP with your watched reputation.

Designed for WoW Forever.

XPBar Island is built around the WoW Forever client and uses API detection and fallbacks where appropriate to keep the addon stable across the supported client environment.

No external libraries, addon dependencies or shared media packages are required.
