Your BEST Addons For WoW Classic Era & Season of Discovery For New & Returning Players 2023 

Really great breakdown. Thanks for putting this together

Scrap could be replaced with leatrix plus, which has that functionality and a lot more. Great vid. I also use threat plates instead of plater, I find the options to be more in-depth and get the aesthetic to be exactly how I want it.

Some additional ones that I find invaluable: Atlas Loot Classic, Plater Nameplates or another (good for DPS to get a visual on the nameplates when they do or are about to pull threat), RareScanner (I have never used this before but it seems really neat and invaluable), Vendor Price (good to know what sells for what if you need to destroy items to make room on a run), Z-Pearl Unit Frames (I cannot stand the default frames and personally love Z-Pearl for raiding). Also, you should probably mention an addon manager such as the Curseforge App. Long time WoW player, coming back for SoD in hopes that we get the Classic + we always wanted.

Great take on damage meters, Auctionator is essential. If you don't want ot think about what to sell an item for, or have any idea how the market works this is for you. Until you are a market valuer pro, use this to ensure you are selling to 85% of the value of your items at least. And get a quick turnaround so you don't have to keep relisting

You are a legend for this. Thank you!

You don’t need classic aura durations, because season of discovery already has it baked in

The only one that’s missing for me is “Pawn” For a new player, which I’m onboarding 5 come Nov. 30th, Pawn simplifies knowing if an item is an upgrade or not. Without it, I’ve seen my friends sell belts and gloves that were 500% upgrades for them as they just didn’t know. Making it an at-a-glance thing is super important. I also think that Scrap is a good add on, as getting a newbie to mess around in menus when they’re first starting can frustrate them (Configuring Leatrix).

Like a lot of those: A couple I can't live without as a PvPer BattleGroundEnemies and probably my fav RangeDisplay as a Hunter keeping a Rogue or Mage 40+ yds away while shooting them so satisfying. Also I much prefer Adibags over Bagnon and Auctioneer over Auctionator.

is there an addon to see enemy hp? saw there was one but it doesn't work

I believe that he's using the term sandbox loosely and some people have a problem with that. My interpretation of this term here is, vanilla was raw and it allowed for a lot of customization in order to fine tune it. Especially if your eyes have trouble like mine. I use most of the addons. I also liked Big Debuffs to help see things easier.

Hi! Thank you for this! What's your nameplate addon?

Slightly off topic. How do you get your party frame showing when not in a party?

I was bagnon for many many years. adibags has taken me over

what addon you using here for party frames?

Every time I use Questie is makes my player icon disappear from the map, any one know if theres a setting for that in the add-on?

So that green arrow comes with wow pro? Im a bit struggle sometimes to find a way to the quest always grt lost somewhere with oneway paths. Also i have seenon another video that questie shows the way to the quest on a map but not in my setting. New here

Are classic era addons going to work on SoD?

Forgot how brutal it used to be without questie or any quest map help lol

Gathermaps to mark your resources :)

Everyone keeps suggesting WeakAuras but I really do not understand what they do. I am pretty new to the game so many its just my ignorance.

no threatmeter? i will need one :)

1:52 - yeah... a lot of people, me included, feel that figuring out WHAT to do at WHAT times is part of the game. being on rails is anti-thetical to classic design

I only really use tiny threat on details, the damage meter gets posted by whoever for keeping track of that. A lot of these addons would come baked into a solid ui addon, i used elv throughout classic but it seems tuk has taken over?

Questi by far best addon

I only Questie, Better Vendor Price, Leatrix Maps, Threat Plates, Sexy Map, Dominos and Masque

Leatrix Plus and Leatrix Maps.

No need for LFG season of discovery have LFG build in!

on god questie is amazing

hi lfg addon is for 1.14.4 not for 1.15 also plater nameplates,weak auras

Prat, for chat enhancment.

minimap button gets rid of all the addon button on your minimap

are you not using heal Bot in that entire video?

literally use Elv ui for classic as it has almost all of this already integrated and has so much better performance than runnin all these at once

DBM doesn't have a classic choice for download, it just says retail

i find codex lite better than questie for mob locations etc

Scrap barelly works in Era

Better vendor price addon

AdiBags is 1000x better than Bagnon. It opens as one bag as well but organises everything into categories like quest, armour, etc

leatrix plus does everything scrap does =/

arkinventory is so much better than bagnon and always has been. I don't understand why bagnon is still so much more popular.

Wow is not a sandbox, it is a theme park. Zones have levels and quests designed for a specific progression path with little to no variance. That is a theme park, it is like going to different roller coasters, they all follow the same track even if they are a bit different. A sandbox is more like Ultima Online where you just start somewhere and can go anywhere and do anything. Nothing is level gated, nothing is attunement gated, there literally is no progression in a sandbox, you can set out to kill anything you want to at level 1 with enough friends, etc. Where in WoW you have certain limitations in the content, only X players per dungeon, per raid, per PvP event. A true sandbox does not even instance anything, the dungeons are just part of everything else and you can go in with as many as you want and you see other players outside of your party there. WoW has very few sandbox elements in it, and that is not a knock on it, just don't like hearing someone call WoW a sandbox game...

Bigwigs and Littlewigs is way better than DBM

most of these arent even working.. yeah

Not having weak aura is a good way to not get a group ever

Leatrix plus classic and leatrix map Atlasloot classic Questie Gear change add on And Lfg baltimore at the start others not nesesary.

Classic players crying “we don’t want the theme park style linear questing like retail”. OP immediately suggests questie and pro guide lmao.

Add-ons are a cheat code... Blizz should limit the add ons and what they can do.

It's called season of discovery because the idea behind it is to discover the world instead of rushing through the content to get to max level fast. Your first 2 recommendations completely destroy the whole concept of the season.

Add ons are for losers and for people bad at games

Bagnon is trash, ark inventory is way better. Also who still has no idea where to quest next in a 20yr old game? If you need a addon for that you just need to uninstall.
