Free addon · speedrun and optimized routes

Speedrun to 30, or take the most efficient route from where you are

Our free addon shows the next step of a WoW Forever leveling route in your game: which quest to take and where to go. Speedrun starts at level 1. From here plans the route on from your character as it stands.

How it works

  1. Install it

    Get the free addon once it is released. This page links the download then.

  2. Pick a mode

    Speedrun follows the route from level 1. From here reads your level, finished quests and quest log, and plans the efficient way on.

  3. Follow the steps

    The window shows the next step with its coordinates, and an arrow points the way. Steps tick off as you accept and turn in quests.

Two ways to level

Both use the same planner. They only start from a different place.

Speedrun

The route from level 1 for your faction and race, step by step. Your class's quests sit in the route, and other classes' steps are hidden.

10 routes for levels 1–30, from every start area of both factions. If the addon can't tell your race, it asks where your character started; /dnroute start asks again.

From here

Stopped following the route for a while? Turn it back on and it plans from your character as it is now: quests you've done drop out, quests in your log are worked in, and grey quests are skipped.

It plans again after each quest, level and zone change.

Where the routes come from

Every route is built from quest data: each quest's giver, coordinates and level. Players' recordings then measure it.

Recording is opt-in: the addon writes your times and XP into an export you copy out. No name, no realm, nothing sent from the game.
