  • About QuestGuru
  •  

QuestGuru is a Quest Log replacement that includes a Quest History, showing all quests that have been completed since installing QuestGuru. It uses a side-by-side quest log format to show you more quest titles than the built-in quest log.

Features include:
- Displaying quest starters and finishers
- Coloring of important names and places in the quest description
- Built-in announcer with customizable messages
- Abandoned quest log
- View progress of your alts, party members, and guild members on quests you have in common
- Custom Tracker which can be used independantly of QuestGuru, or in conjunction for full functionality

PLEASE READ THE FAQ AND KNOWN ISSUES BEFORE POSTING A BUG REPORT

F A Q
====================
Q. Why aren't quests auto-tracking?!
A.  Look in the options for the GAME!  These options are in there, have been for years, and yet people are constantly complaining that they can't believe there isn't an option to auto-track quests.  Guess what?  THERE IS!  And it's built in to the freaking game!  Bring up the GAME's options, not QuestGuru's, look under Objectives and omgroflcopters there are the options!  NOW QUIT ASKING  [/end rant]

Q. ACHIEVEMENTS (can't untrack, getting error, etc. etc.)
A. SHIFT-CLICK the offending achievement to untrack it.

Q. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY FOLDERS?!
A. This has been asked way too many times, so it deserves the top spot in the FAQ. The QuestGuru folder is the main addon, which is the quest log replacement. The QuestGuru_History folders (all 10 of them) are for the History. There are so many because each level range (1-9, 10-19, etc.) is stored separately and is load-on-demand, meaning the data is not taking up any memory until you request to see it. History being a separate folder from QuestGuru also allows for the use of QuestGuru without the History. The QuestGuru_Tracker folder is the tracker, which can be used with or without QuestGuru. Basically, there are so many folders to give you the option of what parts you use, and to reduce in-game memory usage.

Q. Why can't I see the History, Abandon, etc. tab?
A. All tabs other than "Current" will ONLY be shown if there is something to display on that page. For instance, if you don't have any abandoned quests, the Abandon tab will not be visible. (The Guild and Party tabs in the screen shot were for future development and are not implimented yet)

Q. Can I import my history from QuestHistory?
A. Unfortunately, QuestHistory didn't save the information that QuestGuru would need to properly import the history.  Update for patch 3.3: It is possible to obtain a list of completed quests from the server, so importing histories for other addons should no longer be necessary.

KNOWN ISSUES
====================
For LightHeaded users: Please make sure you are always using the latest version of LightHeaded. Especially as WoW patches are released, both QuestGuru and LightHeaded get updated, and can become incompatible if either is too out of date.

WHEN POSTING A BUG REPORT - Please include the version of QuestGuru you are using and copy/paste the error message you receive.

Pleast note: If you are currently using another quest log replacement, such as Bayi's EQL, you MUST disable it when using QuestGuru. Using multiple quest log replacements will cause errors.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Do not email me on this website. I HATE this website, it is the most horribly designed addon site I've ever dealt with, and even now, with an empty mailbox, it is telling me I have 3 unread messages.

    I have tried to update the Description to include more FAQs, but changes I make in the management area of the site sometimes take many hours to show up here and sometimes never do.

    The number one question that people keep asking over and over and over and over is how to remove an achievement from the tracker. SHIFT-Click it! I will try, again, to add this to the description above, but like I said, this site SUCKS and I only host my addon here because so many people demanded it.

    Is there already a beta version available with the new history implemented to test on the ptr?

    When I complete quests (either by meeting their objectives, or turning them in), random quests seem to get un-tracked.

    The "Untrack complete quests" and "Show completed objectives" are turned off.
    In the Blizzard interface options, the "Automatic Quest Progress Updates" and "Advanced Objectives Tracking" settings are turned off.
    The "Automatic Quest Tracking" is turned on.

    When turning the "Show completed objectives" setting on, and completing the objectives of a quest, the quests cannot be re-tracked. Clicking the checkbox does nothing, for any quest.

    Turning the setting back off has no effect on this problem, the quests still cannot be tracked.
    I even tried wiping my SavedVariables, but it had no effect.
    It only worked after I obtained a new quest.



    I'm using v1.2.

    Love the mob but I have to stop using it, I find i get bad instance lag when this mod is enabled. Keep up the good work :)

    Try going into the options for QuestGuru and disabling the addon to addon communication. That should help.

    Great addon and very helpful one! Unfortunately after the transfer I had to change my name since it was already taken on the target realm. To keep the familiar name, I changed 1 letter from "i" (normal i) to "í" (Latin small letter I with acute) using Unicode table and "Alt-0237" combination in Windows. Immediately after this QuestGuru refused to remember my settings and the quest history is deleted after each relog. Is there any way to get it properly working with character names using Unicode symbols? I'm sure my problem is not unique, just think about all the Scandinavian players using a lot of specific symbols in their names (like ae etc.)

    The interface has disappeared for me. I see all the options to configure but it's not on my screen anywhere. Is there a way to "refresh" the mod and get it to come back again?

    If you are referring to the QuestGuru Tracker, make sure you have at least one quest or achievement tracked, and if the tracker is still hiding press Shift-L, which is the toggle to show/hide the tracker.

    Shift+L did the trick, thanks!

    Is there any reason why the History would disappear on a character? I've been going back and doing lower level content on a DK for achievements. Today I noticed that I only have 6 quests under my history tab even though I'm over 1500 quests completed. Other characters seem to be okay, but I haven't checked them all.

    There are several things that can cause the History to either not be saved or to be lost, including game crashes, not logging off properly, or changing character name or realm.

    A game client crash can wipe out over 1500 quests worth of history?!?!?!

    (That sound you hear is my head smashing against the desk)

    Is there any way to recover the lost quests? It only seems to have affected the one character.

    A game client crash can wipe out any quests you have done during that session, but will likely not wipe out the entire history unless it crashed during log off.
    Once the next patch comes out none of this will matter because I'll just grab the complete history from the servers.

    Thanks so much for this awesome addon, I love the history that keeps me in my analness from going back to the same spot over and over becuse I can't remember if I've done that quest or not. One problem...I recently moved my toon from one server to another (paid character transfer) and now my questhistory is wiped out. Is there any way for me to get it back?

    You should be able to move over your history by going into the WTF folder in your World of Warcraft directory, finding the SavedVariables folder of your old character and copy it to the folder of the new character.

  • Could you just make an addon that dings (the sounds). I don't need anything else questguru offers but I've become addicted to dings :).

    Reply Report Permalink
  • MrOBrian said

    The version I am working on for 3.3 will use the built-in quest log and just enhance it, so basically if you just use the base QuestGuru addon (without History or Tracker) and turn off some of the options, you will end up with an addon that just does the quest dings. I still have a lot of work and testing to do before I can release it, though.

  • Sounds very promising, please say that you will be keeping your tracker in.. I so dislike the Blizzard Tracker in it's limitations and yours is much more robust!
