Moncai Quest Tracker
Moncai Quest Tracker
I have been developing my modified quest tracker over the past few years. Each time Blizzard updated it's tracker, I updated mine with it. Coded from the ground up again for patch 3.3 and adapted to 4.0.1, I'm releasing it here so others may benefit.
New release
- Beta 4.0.1 is live and fixes issues with some quests and adds the option to show quest ID's
- Beta 4.0.0 is live and should fix (hopefully all) Cataclysm incompatibilities.
- Beta 3.3.3.2 (r36) is live. This fixes Questguru compatibility, collapsed tracker width and re-introduces the buddy system (at a basic level).
Current features
- New: Tracker is optionally movable and you may choose to display Item buttons on the left side, see config (/mqt) under "Placement"
- Tracker shows levels and colors but still stays true to the original by Blizzard
- Includes all the questing goodies Blizzard has put into the 3.3.3 update
- If you quest with someone else who has this tracker, you can track their progress
- Works with QuestHelper 1.3.x, reflecting the order in which to do the quests (version 1.3.10 tested)
- Works with Tourguide style addons by using built-in proximity sorting
- Shift-click a header in the Questlog to toggle the watches for all quests under that header
- Access the configuration screen by typing /mqt in the chat window or via "Game Menu"-"Interface"-"Addons"
- A few features I have missed
QuestHelper integration
For a successfull integration with QuestHelper, please mind the following things:
- Please use version 1.3.7 or higher of QuestHelper
- Make sure it's enabled in the configuration screen (type /mqt to access it)
- Disable the built-in tracker of QuestHelper, either via it's configuration menu or via the slash command "/qh track" (without the quotes).
Since QuestHelper is no longer actively developed, you may also want to disable the integration and then Right-Click the WatchFrame header ("Objectives") and in the pop-up menu select "Proximity" under "Sort Quests". Tip: this also works well with Tourguide based addons
Upcoming features
For now I consider the tracker fairly feature-complete except for the buddy leveling-system which I hope to extend in the future. If you have ideas, feel free to create a ticket on wowace describing your wanted feature.
Beta, what does that mean?
Oh yes, there will be bugs! Since I am only one person it's impossible for me to test every setup or addon-combination. If you like, please give it a try, and help me make the addon better. Your feedback is kindly appreciated!

A big thanks to the fans who like this addon! And please be patient with me :)
Any idea at where they might be?
I do know that I have several AddOns installed that provide alternate quest trackers. QuestGuru, MobMap, QuestHelper, and more. I can enable or disable any of them as I see fit; I can display more than one, even several, of them at a time. So, my question is: does your quest tracker have to override, replace, or conflict in any way with QuestGuru? Can it not be simply another alternate tracker added to the rest?
I do like QuestGuru's tracker, but my Friday and Saturday night groups are looking for something to replace the functionality of another AddOn we used to use until it broke with a WoW patch or expansion. I don't remember the name of it, but it would show party quest progress in the quest tracker. We have since then been using things like QuestAgent with which we can open up a quest log window showing party members' progress, but the tracker display was much more convenient.
Thank you.
I will have a look at QuestGuru, however, since my free time is limited, no promises.
Thank you.
Cyberian, this is fixed in 0.1.0.2. Enjoy!
v0.1.0.1-beta does not work for me - no tracker appears.
So, I un-installed v0.1.0.1-beta and re-installed v0.0.7.1-beta, logged into the game and tracked quests now display in my objectives frame!
To summarise:
with v0.0.7.1-beta; as far as I can tell, everything works fine.
with v0.1.0.1-beta; tracked quests do not display in the objectives frame.
Additional info:
I updated Cartographer QuestInfo to the latest version (v3.2.0.3) at the same time as I installed MQT v0.1.0.1-beta. I tried re-installing the previous version of Cartographer QuestInfo but that made no difference to MQT v0.1.0.1-beta, quests were still not showing in my objectives frame.
I use the European English client, so localization from EN-US should not be an issue.

which does everything I want in a Quest log/tracker EXCEPT show my party mates' quest progress. I was hoping MQT would fill that bill, but with it installed the QuestGuru log window is blank and the tracker is displayed but doesn't look right.
Thank you.
Amazing addon
