The best WoW Forever addons for soloing, dungeons and raids

For every character

None of these are required. They are the ones you will notice on any character.

• Leatrix Plus 76.5M downloads About 80 small options for the default interface. Leave its quest automation off if you want to read Forever’s new quests.
• BugSack 18.1M downloads Catches addon errors so you can tell which addon broke.
• Baganator 41.8M downloads Bags sorted into categories, with bank views and search. Try the game’s one-bag view first. Baganator also needs an addon called Syndicator.
• Pawn 131.0M downloads In-game upgrade arrows from a stat scale you choose. For gear rankings by class, spec and level without installing anything, use our build pages.
• Details! 375.3M downloads A fuller damage meter with more ways to read a fight. Only if you want more than the game’s own meter shows. It reads the same game data.

One addon or many? OneForAll covers dungeons, sets, professions and small interface fixes in one window, and you can switch each feature off. Its author warns that Forever’s quests, loot and sets are still changing, so some of its data is incomplete. Pick it first if you would rather not collect separate addons. Our class pages cover gear without installing anything.

Soloing and leveling

Out in the world you have the most time to look at a map, so this is where addons save the most. Questie answers the question you ask most often: where do I go next?

• Enlarge
  Questie 217.5M downloads Quest starts, turn-ins and objectives on your map. Install this first. It marks quests on your map, including ones you have not found yet. Quest icons and a tooltip on the world map. An older shot, from before Forever. From Questie’s page (GPLv3).
• Enlarge
  What’s Training? 11.6M downloads What your trainer will teach, what it costs and where recipes come from. A spellbook tab listing what you can train now and what comes soon. From What’s Training?’s page (MIT).
• Leatrix Maps 43.1M downloads A world map you can move and scale, with unexplored areas shown.
• RareScanner 142.4M downloads Alerts and map icons for rare creatures and treasures. Forever has no rare markers for it to read, so it spots rares by their nameplates.
• RestedXP Guides A step-by-step leveling route. The free guides are reported to stop in the low 20s, with paid guides after that. Check before you rely on it.
• Spoken 1.6M downloads AI voiceover for quest text, with voice packs installed separately. Good for a first read of Forever’s new quest text.

Addons won’t pick your gear or your route. Where to level gives zones by level. Every build page has a Soloing choice, which matters most for healers and tanks: gear for soloing is not the gear for their group job.

Dungeons

What helps most is knowing the dungeon before you zone in: its bosses, loot, quests and map. Pick OneForAll or DungeonJournal, because they cover the same ground.

• OneForAll 814.8K downloads One window for dungeons, raids, sets, professions and talents. Pictures from OneForAll’s page (GPLv3).

• DungeonJournal 5.8M downloads A lighter in-game journal of bosses, drops and quests. It has an optional mode that hides spoilers until you kill the last boss.
• ThreatClassic2 13.5M downloads A threat meter for your target.
• GTFO 100.9M downloads A sound when you stand in something harmful. It only reacts to harmful spells the game lets it track, so do not count on it for everything on the floor.
• Deadly Boss Mods 641.3M downloads Limited in Forever Generic enemy cast warnings; no boss timers for Forever’s content yet. Install its Dungeons package too. See below for what you actually get.
• BigWigs 209.1M downloads Limited in Forever Boss timers on other versions of the game; no Forever boss modules yet. It loads, but there is nothing for it to run in Forever yet.

Boss timers: what you actually get

Don’t expect boss timers in the new dungeons. We read DBM’s dungeon package on November 9, 2026. It has a file for all 58 bosses in the nine new dungeons, and none has timers or warnings of its own. DBM’s notes say “custom boss timers and warnings are not yet implemented.” What DBM does give you is generic warnings when enemies cast, which you can adjust by standard and elite enemies. BigWigs has no Forever boss modules, and the LittleWigs Forever folder is empty so far.

So learn each boss from a guide. Our dungeon pages list each one’s bosses and drops:

• The Hall of ThanesLevels 13–18
• Ruins of LordaeronLevels 15–20
• Excavation Site: WetlandsLevels 26–31
• City of DalaranLevels 28–33
• The Drowned CityLevels 35–40
• Krol’dok StrongholdLevels 40–45
• Alcaz PrisonLevels 48–53
• Blackmaw HoldLevels 55–60
• The Shaper’s TerraceLevels 58–60

Where each new dungeon fits as you level

Raids

Barrow Deeps, Hyjal Summit and Onyxia’s Lair open on December 9, so you can set this up later. The job for now is attunement and getting ready.

• Barrow Deeps 10 players, 8 bosses
• Hyjal Summit 20 players, 13 bosses
• Onyxia's Lair 40 players, 1 boss

• Attune 13.3M downloads Attunement steps and who else in your guild has done them. Track your attunement now. Guild members running it can see each other’s progress.
• Enlarge
  OneForAll 814.8K downloads One window for dungeons, raids, sets, professions and talents. If you already use it for dungeons, it shows attunement steps as well, so you may not need Attune. Each step of the Onyxia’s Lair attunement. From OneForAll’s page (GPLv3).
• ThreatClassic2 13.5M downloads A threat meter for your target.
• Grid2 15.5M downloads Compact party and raid frames.
• VuhDo 30.2M downloads Raid frames with click healing and buff tracking.

Plan on raiding without boss timers for now. DBM has no Barrow Deeps or Hyjal Summit files for Forever yet, and its Onyxia file skips its warnings in Forever. Blizzard’s own boss timeline does not load in Forever either. Call out mechanics on voice, and check DBM and BigWigs again in the week before December 9, since both projects are updating often.

What the December raids drop so far

Tanks

The game has no threat meter, so this is the addon a tank should install. Damage dealers can use one too, to see when to slow down.

• Enlarge
  ThreatClassic2 13.5M downloads A threat meter for your target. Target the enemy directly: its healer mode, which read target of target, is not available in Forever. It can only check Righteous Fury out of combat. Your group by threat on your target. From ThreatClassic2’s page (MIT).
• Enlarge
  Threat Plates 40.1M downloads Nameplates that change colour and size with threat. Easiest for spotting a loose enemy in a pull. Enemy nameplates coloured by who holds threat. An older shot, from before Forever. From Threat Plates’s page (GPLv3).
• Forever Threat 9.9K downloads A Forever-only threat meter styled like the game’s damage meter. In dungeons it lists only your own group, because the game gives it nothing fuller. Type /threat to open it.
• Plater 105.0M downloads Nameplates you can restyle in detail.

Healers

Start with the game’s party and raid frames. Healing addons are hit hard by the combat limits, so run one in a dungeon before you trust it in a raid.

• Enlarge
  Grid2 15.5M downloads Compact party and raid frames. One Forever guide recorded Grid2 and Clique breaking on a September beta build; both have had Forever updates since. Compact frames, coloured by class. An older shot, from before Forever. From Grid2’s page (zlib).
• VuhDo 30.2M downloads Raid frames with click healing and buff tracking.
• Clique 20.8M downloads Cast by clicking or hovering over a frame. Its author notes that target and menu clicks now have to be bound on purpose.
• Decursive 34.3M downloads Shows who needs cleansing, for one click to cure them. Its Forever file is a release candidate.

Healers leveling alone want different gear. On your build page, switch between Soloing and Dungeons.

Professions and gold

Auctionator is the one to install: it remembers prices and speeds up selling. The rest depend on how much of your time goes into crafting.

• Auctionator 207.5M downloads Price tooltips, faster selling and shopping lists.
• GatherMate2 35.7M downloads Records and maps herb and ore nodes. It maps nodes you have gathered, so it gets better as you play.
• Enlarge
  What’s Training? 11.6M downloads What your trainer will teach, what it costs and where recipes come from. Its Forever tab lists recipes from trainers, drops and quests. The Professions tab: recipes available now, soon and later. From What’s Training?’s page (MIT).
• Enlarge
  OneForAll 814.8K downloads One window for dungeons, raids, sets, professions and talents. If you already use it, its Professions tab covers recipes and reagents too. Recipes, reagents and where you learn them. From OneForAll’s page (GPLv3).
• TradeSkillMaster 64.0M downloads Deep auction, crafting and gold tools, for people who enjoy setting them up.

Professions that help you level

Battlegrounds

Forever’s new 15-versus-15 battleground, Battle for the Darkspear Islands, is fought over footholds and a central flag, so objective timers are the addon worth having.

• Capping 11.4M downloads Battleground objective timers. It has a Forever file, but its page does not say whether it covers the new battleground. Try it there first.

Your interface

Use Edit Mode first: it needs no updates when the game patches. Add a replacement only for something it won’t do.

• Bartender4 82.5M downloads More control over action bars than Edit Mode gives.
• EllesmereUI 10.3M downloads A full interface replacement, in modules. Its modules cover bars, frames and nameplates, so you would not need the other addons here as well.
• Enlarge
  ForeverAuras 716.2K downloads A WeakAuras fork made for Forever. Its page still says “under development.” Combat-log triggers do not fire in Forever, so old WeakAuras strings may not work. The display builder, from its beta. From ForeverAuras’s page (GPLv2).
• Musca Auras 28.3K downloads A WeakAuras port with one-click class layouts. Its author says buffs and debuffs only update in combat with its Aura (Modern) trigger. Try its class layouts before building your own.
• Plater 105.0M downloads Nameplates you can restyle in detail.
• WeakAuras 255.7M downloads No Forever file The original has no Forever file; use a fork or the Cooldown Manager.

ElvUI is not on CurseForge. Tukui’s page lists Forever as supported, and you install it from there.
