Quester

Table of Contents

Quester enhances the questing experience by improving upon the built-in Quest UI, smoothing some rough edges and providing a few enhancements.

Quester was inspired by SmoothQuest and the add-ons SmoothQuest was based on before it. It is designed entirely for the new questing experience in Warlords of Draenor, and will not function in Mists of Pandaria.

Quester performs following enhancements:

Quest levels in the quest log, on the map, in the quest tracker, in NPC dialogs, everywhere!
Difficulty coloring of quests
Progress coloring red -> green of objectives in the quest tracker
Quest progress sounds:
- "More work?!" when an objective is completed
- "Job's Done!" if the quest is complete
- Two sound sets: Alliance Peasant and Horde Peon
Colored quest details in unit and item tooltips
Objective and quest information is send through LibSink-2.0, and can be fully re-routed
Highlight of the most valuable quest reward (in gold value)
Move the Objective Tracker to wherever it fits into your UI!

Many of the functions of Quester can be individually turned on/off and configured through the Interface AddOn options, or through /quester

This has probably been asked before but I'm trying to move the World Quest lists that normally is about 1/4 down on the right hand side of the screen. Unlocking the position does not help. I have even tried the MoveAnything (the 9.x compatible one) and no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Does this move the durability tracker guy and vehicle seat too? or are they attatched to the minimap?

Another request: Add option to show quest ID in the quest's tooltip.

Request: Add quest count in our quest log and/or on the objective frame. (for example: 14/25)

Nevcariel I see your name every time I'm getting video codexes. You are truly versatile.
What's the deal with per character settings? Where are they stored? I see a Quester.lua under account saved variables but none per char. The Quester.lua just a list of toons with profile ="Default". Apparently the addons doesn't have any mechanisms for creating/editing/saving profiles. Maybe it was a previous feature that was removed?

Any chance we could have more sound sets? Personally I always preferred the bells from the AH.

Also, could we have the option to turn off the tooltip on quest items?

Quester does not actually generate or change that message, it only colors it. The message itself is generated by the game, as such it would report wrong numbers there.

In reply to TeHbZShadow:

If I understand correctly, this is the turtle meat quest. Make sure you don't have any turtle meat in bank or in mailbox. Once you reach 10 turtle meat (bank+mailbox+inventory), the meat will stop dropping from the turtles until you turn in the quest. Had this happen to me as well on this exact quest. Took me a while to figure it out after I didn't get any meat from 10+ kills.

Edit: I just noticed the date on your post :D You probably already figured it out. But I'm going to leave this here, maybe it will be useful for someone in the future.

Great addon. My few thoughts on it:

1) "un-track complete quest" option makes the quest dissapear as soon as objectives are complete, rather than quest itself (easy to forget to turn it in)

2) you can make it more minimalistic/screen space saving by adding an option to remove completed part of objectives from the quest log instead of showing it in green

Thanks for your work!

Only quarrel I have with this addon is that I would like to see it auto add my new quests to my tracker without having to do it manually. Otherwise great addon! Thanks :)

when using Classic Quest Log https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/classic-quest-log

Clicking on the quest tracker opens the original stock blizzard frame.
