What’s more, ranging from simple clocks and HUDs to massive data centers with locations of loots and analyzers for an auction house, addons will be a neat addition to every player’s experience. 

    Now, we will go in detail of some of the best addons you can find for leveling and see how they can benefit your game and step up your playing field. On the other side, addons might come as unnatural to install even tough Blizzard encourages them. Therefore, you might feel like you are “changing” the rules and altering the way the game works and that is alright.

We are able to provide you with all the worthy addons for WoW: Dragonflight retail in our special Wow Best addons Dragonflight guide.

    However, if you want to play around with some bells and whistles to ramp up your experience and break the monotony, then let’s see how to install them.

    Installation 

    First, many keyloggers and viruses come hidden as addons and some of them even violate wow Terms and Conditions, so here’s a little advice: Stay away from downloading or using any supposed addon that comes as an exe file.

    So, to install an addon it is necessary to follow these steps:

    For starters, select the addon that fits your needs – follow the list below to find one.

    On the other side, you can use Twitch Desktop App so you can easily install and automatically update addons located on curseforge.com. However, the only setback when using this method is that you are limited to only those addons accessible on Curseforge.

    Furthermore, some legit places where you can download addons from are Curse Gaming and WoW Interface.

    Now, we will group addons by categories and every category will have a list of addons that belong in it. So, let’s finally see which are some of the best addons for WoW Classic and how can they bring along.

    Quest Tracking Addons

    To have better visibility and accessibility of the quests, we made a list of the best addons that will help you achieve just that. However, they will not show you locations of quests or aid you in finding quest goals. Anyhow, they will save you the burdens of heading to the Quests sections and tracking them manually, so let’s skip right to the list.

    1. Auto track Quests

    Suffice to say, after you pick a new quest this addon will make sure to place it on a neat quest tracker, located below minimap. Additionally, it has that plain Classic feel tied to it, so it won’t jut out visually. It is like Blizzard’s ingrained quest tracker and it does not track quests with no substantial goals. For example, talking to someone. Not to forget, this addon is poorly customizable and you can only choose to unwatch older quests to make room for new ones.

    But still, the minimalistic design and simple overview of the quests will speed up your levelling and help you focus on what is important. You’ll agree that simplicity is important in this case, right?

    1. Butter Quest Tracker

    Here, we have a tracker that will track virtually any guest. Therefore, whether it’s substantial or intangible, this addon will pick it up. Not only that, but it will automatically gather all of the existing quests and start to track the new ones as you progress. Butter tracker allows for many customization options like sorting quests by zone, level and percentage of completion. 

    To top it off, you can paint quests with color, difficulty-wise and play around with background and font colors or sizes. Also, it offers some additional graphic tweaks so you can make the tracker to look exactly how you see fit. 

    Finally, the makers of this addon also added one handy thing and that is the right-click a quest feature. Furthermore, when you right click a quest, a window with these options to better control your quests will appear:

    1. MonkeyQuest

    The third quest-tracking addon is the most popular one among players and it’s the Monkey Quest tracker. This addon allows is widely customizable and it offers many details regarding quests, so it can occasionally come up as confusing. 

    Plus, to be able to customize this addon, you’ll need to install a companion addon called MonkeyBuddy. This is also a good quest tracker, but for “addon-rookies”, we suggest sticking with the previous two, just to save you from over-complicating things.

    QuestHelper Addons

    So, now comes the fun part. We have discussed addons that will indirectly speed up and aid you in your levelling, but next addons will directly benefit you. Here is the bunch of quest helping/guiding addons that will do a myriad of things to help you to complete quests. 

    Nonetheless, they will show you where to go and show the right direction while also point you to where to go next, step by step.
