World Quest Assistant

Table of Contents

WQA helps you find world quest groups quickly and easily.

With just a couple of clicks, you can easily find and join a group, or create your own. When you are in proximity of a world quest, WQA will offer to find or create a group for you. One click of the button finds all open groups and another click will start applying to join them. Or, you can create your own group with a single click.

Apply with a single click

Key features:

One-click support to find a group, create a new group, or join existing groups
Keybinding support for full automation - just set the bind and then tap it to find or apply to groups, accept a group invite, create a new group, or leave a group after quest completion.
Allows you to create a new group on demand - no waiting for group finder timeouts. Open up your quest to others without having to wait for a server jump.
Allows you to prefer to connect to groups on your home realm, completely avoiding server jumps.
Can leave groups automatically after a configurable delay on quest completion, or stay in the group with a keybind you set.
Can find groups for quests by middle-clicking their icons on the map. Handy when you're sitting around waiting for that mob to spawn! Works with both the base UI and World Quest Tracker.

Blizzard has disabled the function to create new groups for addons. Please write to them how much you like this decision. :-P

I have a local version that can at least join existing groups. Not much, but maybe I will release that some day..

I got a whole lot of usage out of WQA since I first installed it after the initial flap with WQGF, and I'm sorry to bid it farewell. I don't do this willingly, but the severe curtailing of Group Finder functions with Patch 8.0.1 has left no choice.

Thanks go to Saibantes for helping support the addon, and to Antiarc for its creation.

I would be perfectly happy to be able to join existing groups with a single click! I did enjoy the create a group feature, but seriously, joining the groups was where it was at, it was like arriving at the club after the dj warmed up and got the peeps on the floor.
I think the background search would have to be a little more fuzzy though since people don't often put in the whole name of the quest.

But yeah, that would be a fine addition, especially for leveling to 120. Then the 10 million new dailies

Found this as a reply on another addon but not sure if this would help you.

https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/2412141-WQ-AddOns-still-work-in-BFA-Use-LookingForGroup-AddOn-for-WQ-in-BFA

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/lookingforgroup

They use the quest IDs instead, but it seems it also doesn't automatically create groups as well. Kinda wish it copied the quest ID into the box and just had u click create group instead of typing it but it's still at least faster than typing the whole name or doing the quest solo.

P.S. Been a fan since I first started using your addon when I found it on a showcase at mmo-champion, thanks for your work, muuuuuuch appreciated as it's saved my ass so much time and made alot of the game so much more bearable.

Would it be doable to have some sort of button that, when clicked, copies for example the quest id, which we can then paste in a box and click another button to list the group?

In my opinion (keep in mind, I just maintained this addon after the original author had not the time), WorldQuestAssistant was about convenience, other addons did the same, but were not quite as handy. Typing the quest ID into a field (like WorldQuestsList and others do it) isn't convenient, so I see no point in just copying this method.

WorldQuestParty uses a method with hidden chat channels, but that only works on each (connected-)realm. If I take the number of WQ parties we had in legion and divide it by the number of realms, I get something like zero. No idea how this is supposed to work.

The author of LFG has proposed another method - which includes a step with whispers. Tell me if I'm wrong, but whispering to characters (without battle tags) is also restricted to your realm.

My initial thought I could at least implement easy joining of groups also turned out to be garbage - either something changed after the pre-patch or I just had a wrong impression.

You can't paste into the fields for group search terms, there is <<securityDisablePaste="true">>.

Nope. This can work in cross realm wide.

I've done some updates while the original author is not actively playing at the moment.

Invasion Points: Implemented the button bar thing, popups will be in a later version (perhaps).

Convert to raid: Is done automatically when the group reaches 5 ppl (and the quest can be done in a raid). The popup about reaching the max number of player comes from the default Blizzard UI, not WQA. Limiting world quests to five people was a change in the 7.2.5 update. WQA now has a work-around for epic world bosses (Na'zak, Si'vash, Brutallus, Malificus, Apocron).

Re-listing: No plans yet, but thanks for the suggestion.

WQA not finding enough groups: Made two changes that should fix that.

Is development still going on this? Looks like the github hasn't seen activity for quite some time. https://github.com/cheald/WorldQuestAssistant

I'm seeing a huge increase in the number of leechers. Is it possible to auto-blacklist leechers and not invite anyone on the blacklist.
