Everything Quests

A unified replacement for the Blizzard quest experience — objective tracker, world-map overlays, nameplate quest icons, an account-wide quest history, and a Midnight chain guide.

Overview

Everything Quests is a complete replacement for Blizzard's quest tracking and quest log experience for World of Warcraft: Midnight.

An on-screen objective tracker that replaces the default ObjectiveTrackerFrame, provided by EQ Objective Tracker and installed automatically alongside this addon
Nameplate Quest Icons — ! + remaining count/percent on objective mobs in the 3D world
Interactive World Quest pins on the world map and zone maps, plus a docked World Quests panel
A standalone Chain Guide window for browsing Midnight quest chains
An account-wide Quest History log with five views and a backfill of past completions
Branded Quest POI overlays on zone maps
Optional auto-accept / auto-turn-in for quest dialogs (Alt to pause)

Open Options with /eqs, from the minimap button, from the Everything Quests icon on the tracker, or via Game Menu → Options → AddOns → Everything Quests.

About the tracker

As of v1.38.0 the objective tracker lives in its own addon, EQ Objective Tracker. It is a required dependency and your addon manager installs it for you, so there is nothing extra to set up.

Nothing was lost in the move. Existing users keep their position, size, fonts, colors, section order, filters and sorting, along with pinned quests, hidden quests, collapsed sections and saved world quest watches on every character — all carried across automatically on first login.

Why it was split. The tracker is useful on its own, and there is now one copy of that code instead of two, so a tracker fix reaches everyone at once.

What this means day to day:

Want	Where
Tracker settings	The cogwheel at the top right of the tracker, or `/eqot`
Everything Quests settings	The Everything Quests logo beside the cogwheel, the minimap button, or `/eqs`
Chain Guide	The chain icon on the tracker, or `/eqs chain`

Each of the two Everything Quests icons on the tracker can be switched off under /eqs → General. Everything Quests also adds Get Directions to a quest's right-click menu on the tracker.

If the tracker is missing, check that EQ Objective Tracker is enabled in your AddOns list. /eqot status prints what the tracker is doing and is the most useful thing to include in a bug report.

Features

Nameplate Quest Icons

Quest-objective enemies show EQ's logo (kill objectives get a skull, talk-to objectives a chat bubble, use-item objectives the quest's item icon) right on their nameplate, along with the remaining count or percent.

Detection — Two-source join: an activeQuests cache built from C_QuestLog.GetQuestObjectives (objectives keyed by display text → {value, type, isPercent, itemTexture}, where value is the remaining amount) joined to each nameplate via a C_TooltipInfo.GetUnit line-type scan (QuestTitle + QuestObjective lines matched against the cache, with matched objectives de-duplicated by entry so a party-mate's identical line can't double-count one of yours)
Cached per GUID — Tooltip scans only run when a new mob appears on a plate or quest log changes, never per frame
Midnight-safe — Guards all game-returned strings/GUIDs with issecretvalue so restricted values can't throw
ElvUI-aware — Default is ON unless ElvUI is loaded (which has its own version). A one-time custom dialog asks ElvUI users which to use so duplicates don't appear; preference is remembered
Pure visual frames — No secure-template descendants, so nameplates stay taint-free

World Quest Pins

Replaces Blizzard's world quest icons with custom pins on both the world map and zone maps.

Reward-category rings — Gold (yellow), Gear (blue), Reputation (purple), Resources (green), Artifact Power (orange), Profession (tan), PvP (red), Pet (cyan), Other (gray)
Time-urgency coloring — Green (>4h), white (1–4h), yellow (30–60m), red (<30m)
Hover tooltip — Quest title, reward type, time remaining
Click to super-track, right-click to dismiss
Docked panel — A full-height World Quests list beside the world map, opened by a side tab styled to match Blizzard's or ElvUI's frame
Per-reward filters — Toggle each reward category independently
Per-faction filters — Grouped by expansion
Persistent watch list — Manually watched world quests survive login
Account-wide completion cache — Shared across characters

Chain Guide

A standalone three-pane window for browsing hand-authored quest chains, plus live campaign data straight from Blizzard's C_CampaignInfo.

Layout — Categories (left), Chains (middle), Quest Details (right)
Browser navigation — Back / Forward buttons with full history
Hand-authored data — Prerequisite branching overrides Blizzard's API chains where the API is incomplete
Cross-character completion — Tracks completion of every chain across every character on your account
Completion-date tooltips — Hover any quest in a chain to see when (or whether) you completed it
Live campaign chapters — The Midnight Campaign and the max-level War of Light and Shadow render from C_CampaignInfo chapter-by-chapter, so they stay correct as Blizzard ships content
Click-to-waypoint — Click any quest in a chain to drop a map waypoint and open the world map to it. Uses TomTom's arrow when installed (recommended), otherwise falls back to Blizzard's built-in waypoint
Lazy-built — The window is constructed on first toggle to keep load times minimal

Currently covers the Midnight expansion: Eversong Woods, Zul'Aman, Harandar, Arator, Voidstorm, The Sunstrider Omnium and Void Acropolis, plus the live Midnight Campaign, The War of Light and Shadow and The Curse of Ula'tek storylines.

Quest History

An account-wide log of every quest turn-in across every character. Open with /eqs history or the History tab in Options.

Five views:
- Quests — searchable, filterable list (by character, date range, or quest type). Right-click any row to jump to that quest's chain in the Chain Guide
- Streak — current and best daily turn-in streaks across the whole account
- Chain Timeline — every chain you've made progress in with per-quest dates; click to expand; green checkmark on fully-completed chains
- Activity — 13-week heatmap of daily turn-ins
- Totals — gold and XP earned per character, plus biggest single gold/XP rewards
One-time backfill — Populate from past completions walks the game's record of completed quests and adds them to history as (before tracking) entries
Async title fill — Backfilled entries that show as Quest #12345 are filled in over a minute or two via server lookups (10/0.3s burst rate, post-drain sweep, Re-scan names button)
Export — Copy the currently visible view to your clipboard as plain text
Compact storage — Saved-variables use short field names (q,t,n,c,z,k,xp,m) to keep the file small at 5000+ entries
Backups — History is snapshotted so an empty or missing log can be restored automatically

Map POI Overlays

Custom 22×22 quest pins on zone maps with the Everything-suite branded red ring (#6D0501) around the standard quest icon (gold ? for turn-ins, white ! for in-progress). Clicks super-track; right-click dismisses. Layered above Blizzard's own quest POIs.

Auto-Quest Dialogs

Optional, opt-in handlers for quest gossip and detail screens. Both default OFF.

Auto-accept — accepts on QUEST_DETAIL; picks first available quest from gossip menus and the old multi-quest greeting frame
Auto-turn-in — continues on QUEST_PROGRESS, finishes on QUEST_COMPLETE only when there's at most one reward choice (multi-choice screens are left open so the player picks)
Pause gates — hold Alt during any interaction to skip both for that one event; declining a quest arms a 10-second lockout so the next gossip doesn't immediately re-offer it
Insecure-only APIs — all touchpoints (C_GossipInfo.*, AcceptQuest, CompleteQuest, GetQuestReward) are non-protected, so no taint

Installation

From CurseForge

Install via the CurseForge app or download manually
EQ Objective Tracker is pulled down automatically as a required dependency

Manual Install

Download the latest release from the Releases page
Download EQ Objective Tracker as well — Everything Quests will not load without it

Extract both folders into:

World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/

Restart WoW or type /reload if already in-game
Enable Everything Quests and EQ Objective Tracker at the character select screen

Dependencies

Required: EQ Objective Tracker — provides the objective tracker. Addon managers install it automatically; a manual install needs both folders. All other libraries are bundled.

Optional:

TomTom — recommended for the Chain Guide: clicking a quest uses TomTom's on-screen arrow. Without it, Chain Guide waypoints fall back to Blizzard's built-in waypoint system
TitanClassic, ChocolateBar, or ElvUI — display the minimap button on a data-broker bar instead of around the minimap
ElvUI — ElvUI ships its own nameplate quest icons. When detected, EQ's version defaults off and a one-time dialog asks which to use; choose either, and your pick is remembered. No conflict either way

Modules register into Core subsystems at load time and listen for events through a shared callback dispatcher, so multiple modules can safely react to the same WoW event without stepping on each other. Core/Dialog.lua provides a custom confirmation/prompt frame used in place of Blizzard's StaticPopupDialogs for every EQ-defined dialog, so EQ can't taint Blizzard's shared Quit/Logout popups.

Modules/TrackerBridge.lua is the seam to EQ Objective Tracker. It reaches the tracker only through that addon's documented API and guards every call, so a mismatched version degrades quietly instead of erroring.

Localization

Everything Quests ships bundled translations — on a matching game client the interface displays in that language automatically, and anything untranslated falls back to English:

French (frFR) — by Zox
Russian (ruRU) — by Malevi4
Korean (koKR) — by labrie75

Translations for Everything Quests and EQ Objective Tracker are maintained together in EverythingLocales. The Locales/ files in this repo are generated from it, so translation pull requests belong there rather than here. Contributions for more languages are very welcome.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! If you'd like to help:

Fork the repo
Create a branch for your feature (git checkout -b feature/my-feature)
Commit your changes (git commit -m "Add my feature")
Push to your branch (git push origin feature/my-feature)
Open a Pull Request

Translations are the exception — those go to EverythingLocales, which feeds both addons.

Reporting Bugs

Please use the GitHub Issues tab. Include:

Your WoW client version and region
