Setup tips

  • Choose the WoW Forever game version in your addon manager. Classic Era files won't load.
  • Start small: a quest helper, a bag addon and a boss mod cover most players.
  • After a game patch, update addons before logging in. Out-of-date addons are disabled by default.
  • WeakAuras has no official Forever version yet, so avoid copying old WeakAura strings.

FAQ

Yes. Forever uses the modern WoW interface and addon system, with the same limits on combat automation as modern WoW. Classic-era addons need a Forever version to load.

Where do I download WoW Forever addons?

Most addons have a separate WoW Forever version on CurseForge. Pick the Forever game version in your addon manager so you get the right files.

Does WeakAuras work in WoW Forever?

No official version yet. The WeakAuras team hasn't released a version for the modern addon limits that Forever uses.

Is there a built-in damage meter in WoW Forever?
