fitzforge/polestar

A free, open-source guide addon for World of Warcraft: Forever: leveling routes for every start, found by simulation and written step by step.

On CurseForge, or from the Releases page. Questions, feedback and bug reports: join the Polestar Discord. Polestar is free; if it saves you a few hours, you can buy me a coffee.

1. Install it with the CurseForge app (search for Polestar Guides), then skip to step 3. Or download Polestar-<version>.zip from the newest release on the Releases page, under Assets (not "Source code").
2. Unzip it into the game's AddOns folder, so the Polestar folders (Polestar, Polestar_Guides, Polestar_Codex, Polestar_Nav and the others, with one Polestar_<language> folder per client language such as Polestar_deDE) sit directly inside it: World of Warcraft/_classic_beta_/Interface/AddOns/ on the beta client, _forever_/Interface/AddOns/ on the _forever_ client. The same zip works for both; if you have both clients installed, unzip into each one. In the game's AddOns list they all sit under one "Polestar" heading, which its arrow folds away.
3. Restart the game completely (a /reload does not load new addons) and log in. The guide window opens with a guide for your race, level and zone: follow the arrow, and the goals tick themselves off as you play.

Good to know:

• /polestar guides opens the hub: every guide, Lookup, Dungeons and Rares. /polestar options holds every setting; quest markers on the map are off until you turn them on under Map.
• /polestar skip moves on for good; /polestar next and prev only look ahead or back.
