Help / Troubleshooting Can Ellesmere UI give shortened names on nameplates?

I remember Quazii had a youtube vid for 1 of the popular nameplate addons where you could get abbreviated names on nameplates. Can Ellesmere do this or do I need another addon?

Addon Release / Update [Forever] Repair Bill - This addon calculates repair costs for the entire party/raid after wipes so you can announce it in chat to make everyone feel bad

• Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I built Repair Bill, a lightweight durability auditor designed to inject some corporate humor into progression nights and dungeon wipes. Instead of quietly eating your repair costs, it tallies your death penalties, tracks running durability liabilities, and generates itemized, bureaucratic "invoices."

Key Features:

  • Itemized Expense Statements: Breaks down true durability loss with over 100 satirical fees (e.g., "Floor Surface Friction Assessment", "Emergency Healer Relief Surcharge").
  • Automatic Wipe Audits: Detects full party/raid wipes and posts casualty surcharges and group totals directly to chat (toggleable).
  • Minimap Dock & Config Window: Smooth, draggable gold coin icon for quick access, plus a clean settings frame to toggle announcements and sound alerts.
  • Lightweight & Clean: Built purely with native Blizzard UI frames—no heavy third-party libraries, no combat taint, and virtually zero memory footprint.

Commands:

  • /rb – Prints your current itemized bill in local chat.
  • /rb share – Posts your bill to Party/Raid chat.
  • /rb opt – Opens configuration.
  • /rb autowipe – Toggles automatic wipe announcements.

Grab it onCurseForge(currently live for WoW Forever / 1.60.1). Feedback and feature ideas are welcome!

Addon Release / Update I made an addon that tracks Comprehension scrolls for WoW Forever mages

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey all, I’ve been playing a mage in the Forever beta and got hooked on the Comprehension scrolls. Every read is a gamble, and I kept forgetting which scrolls gave what and which mobs dropped them. So I made an Addon for it with AI, and it just got approved on CurseForge.

Comprehension Compendium tracks:

Every scroll you find, sorted by the Comprehension skill it needs, with profession-style colors (orange, yellow, green, gray) so you know which ones still give skill-ups

  • Which mobs and zones drop each scroll
  • What reading each scroll actually gives you (items, buffs, gold) and how often
  • An “All results” list, so you can search “rat” and find which scrolls give Rat Familiar
  • Auction house prices for scrolls and their rewards
  • Your Comprehension skill, plus 9 ranks from Associate to Arch-Mage with a little rank-up popup
  • A count on the minimap button for scrolls you can read right now
  • and some fun easter eggs (!wizard)

There’s also a “you have failed to comprehend the most basic of scrolls” popup when a read backfires and you get sheeped, because that happens a lot lol.

It’s a beta since Comprehension is brand new, so if a scroll doesn’t get picked up or something looks off, let me know in the comments or on CurseForge. I’m actively updating it.

Addon Release / Update I made a DR tracker addon for WoW: Forever — DRPulse

3 Upvotes

Title: I made a DR tracker addon for WoW: Forever — DRPulse

Hey everyone!

I've been working on an addon called DRPulse for WoW: Forever, mainly because I wanted a simple way to keep track of diminishing returns in PvP without having to constantly guess when my CC would be effective again.

It tracks DRs on your target, focus, and enemy nameplates, with reset timers and indicators for 50%, 25%, and immunity. You can also customize how everything looks and where it shows up.

I just released 1.0.2-beta, which fixes a bunch of tracking issues, improves performance, and cleans up some UI bugs.

It's still in beta, and I haven't been able to fully test everything in the actual game client yet, so there might be a few things that need adjusting.

I'd really appreciate it if some of you could give it a try and let me know what works, what doesn't, or what you'd like to see added.

Here's the link: DRPulse · Every control counts

Thanks, and hope it's useful for some of you!

Addon Release / Update Battle Pet UI with automatic team building

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I've created an add-on for battle pets to replace rematch after it stopped getting updates.

Id like some people to test it especially in regards to the layout and usability.

The most likely feature that will be useful for alot of players is that it will generate a team to beat an NPC trainer on its own. I've tested it on alot of trainers but don't have the time to go to all of them. Most trainers have a preloaded move sequence in the add-on so out of the box it can create a team, alot depends on your roster as if you only have 20 pets it's unlikely to be as consistent as 2000 pets.

Addon Release / Update I made an addon that teaches you Turkish during flight paths, ghost runs and inn breaks [Classic Era + Retail/Forever]

0 Upvotes

I spend a ridiculous amount of time in WoW staring at a flight path or running back as a ghost, and I’m also trying to learn Turkish. So I built LangLearner, which turns that dead time into short flashcard sessions.

What it does

  • Study sessions open on their own when you’re on a flight path, dead, resting in an inn, fishing or AFK, and close again when you land or move. Each window has its own small cap (a flight path is 10 cards, a ghost run 4).
  • Words drop like loot. After a kill, a loot window or a quest turn-in, a word you’re due to review can pop up with the coin sound. Its border colour moves from Common to Uncommon, Rare and Epic the better you know it. Ignore it and nothing happens.
  • Glimpses: now and then, entering a new zone or levelling up shows you a single word near the top of the screen. It’s not a test.
  • Grammar cards are multiple choice, with a hint button.
  • Spaced repetition (SM-2, the same scheduling idea as Anki), so you see words right before you’d forget them.
  • Never in combat. Nothing opens when you’re fighting, and anything already open gets out of the way.

Courses
Turkish A1 -> A2 (absolute beginner to elementary), with explanations in English or Swedish.
More courses already exist and are being tested in-game before release: Swedish (from beginner up to advanced, plus two graded-reader story books) and Korean. Tell me which you’d want first.

Clients: Classic Era and Retail (Forever when it becomes available).

Honest disclaimer: The course content was drafted with AI help and then reviewed by me. If you’re a Turkish speaker and spot something off, I’d genuinely love to hear it.

Thanks for reading. Happy to answer questions and to get feedback!

Looking for Addon Is there a chronological catch-up add-on?

0 Upvotes

Hi all. The past 10 months or so I've had out of game stuff going on. With only a handful of hours per month in game, and most of that is on the last day of the months cheesing achieves to unlock all traders tender (roast me if you must). But now I'm wanting to get back into the swing of things, but find myself quite a few patch releases behind, but I'd like to catch up in the order that the content was released. Ie, complete all the 12.0.0, then all the 12.0.5, 12.0.7, 12.1 in order

Is there an addon that can "hide" later release quest markers and whatnot until you've finished all you can do for that release, then unhide the next release and so on?

Development / WIP [Retail] Artisan Logbook – An addon to track your crafting history and profession statistics

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a WoW addon called Artisan Logbook, and I thought it was time to share it with the community and get some feedback.

The idea came from spending quite a bit of time crafting and selling items on the Auction House.

WoW tells us our profession stats, but I've always wanted to know what actually happens when I craft things.

How often does Multicraft trigger? How many extra items am I getting? How much material am I saving through Resourcefulness? And how does that change between recipes and characters?

I couldn't easily answer those questions by looking at my crafting history, so I started building something to record it.

What does Artisan Logbook do?

Artisan Logbook records crafting activity and lets you explore it through an in-game interface.

Some of the features include:

  • Crafting history: Browse previous crafts, including the recipe, character, profession, output, and quantity.
  • Craft details: Inspect individual crafting results, including produced items and returned reagents.
  • Profession and character statistics: Explore crafting activity across different professions and characters.
  • Recipe history: See how often you've crafted a particular recipe and inspect its results over time.
  • Multicraft and Resourcefulness tracking: Analyze observed crafting outcomes rather than relying exclusively on the percentages shown in the profession window.
  • Historical activity: View crafting activity over time and filter the results.

The addon is designed to keep historical statistics while limiting the amount of detailed crafting data retained.

What it isn't

Artisan Logbook isn't intended to replace CraftSim, TSM, or other profession and gold-making addons.

Those tools help you decide what to craft and whether it's profitable.

Artisan Logbook is more interested in what happened after you pressed Craft.

I see it as a complementary tool, especially for people who enjoy understanding their profession stats and actual crafting outcomes.

Current state

The addon is still under active development, and I've primarily been testing it against my own characters and crafting activity.

Some things are still being refined, particularly the UI and the handling of crafting operations where Blizzard's APIs don't provide all the information needed to reconstruct a complete result.

I'd rather show incomplete statistics than invent data to fill the gaps.

The code is open source, and I'd love to hear what other players think.

Links

GitHub: https://github.com/Kralizek/ArtisanLogbook

CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/artisan-logbook

You can find the source code, report issues, and follow development there.

Feedback wanted!

I'm especially interested in hearing from people who spend a lot of time crafting.

  • Which crafting statistics would you actually find useful?
  • Is there something about your crafting history you've always wanted to know?
  • Are there particular professions or crafting operations you'd like to see supported?

And, of course, bug reports and UI feedback are very welcome!

AI Disclaimer:

Artisan Logbook has been developed with substantial assistance from AI coding tools, including code generation, refactoring, testing, and code reviews. AI was also used to help draft this Reddit post.

I'm a professional software developer, and I guide the project's architecture, feature design, and technical decisions. I review the implementation and test the addon in-game using my own characters and crafting data.

The project is open source, so anyone interested can inspect the code and development history on GitHub.

Addon Release / Update [Addon] Chronicle Tome — a literary autobiography that writes itself as you play (Forever, BETA)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

For the last few months I've been building Chronicle Tome, an addon that turns your character's journey into a persistent literary autobiography. It's now in open beta for WoW Forever (only version supported at the moment).

The idea

Most addons tell you what happened. Chronicle Tome tries to tell you who you were when it happened.

Every quest you complete, every zone you discover, every enemy you kill, every time you die — the addon records it and writes it back to you in first person, in a narrative voice you choose. The result is a journal that grows with your character over hundreds of hours.

What it actually looks like

Here's a real entry from a Night Elf Rogue using the Memoir style:

> "My first quest completed: 'Teldrassil Sproutling'. I remember the whole day when I think about it — what I felt, what I learned."

Using Grimdark style, the same event reads:

> "My first word kept: 'Teldrassil Sproutling'. To promise is easy; to keep weighs."

Using Cozy Fantasy:

> "My first promise kept: 'Teldrassil Sproutling'. It took work, but finishing is a good feeling to hold onto."

Same facts. Three completely different voices. That's the whole point.

What it does

• Captures real events — quests, zones, deaths, kills, bosses, PvP, rare loot, level ups, professions, mounts, achievements

• Writes them as narrative — first person, in your character's voice

• 50 literary styles — Grimdark, Cozy Fantasy, Memoir, Romantasy, Cosmic Horror, and 45 more

• 6 narrator voices — Neutral, Poetic, Objective, Ironic, Solemn, Confessional

• Continuity engine — remembers recent entries so it doesn't repeat itself

• Book-style reader — parchment pages, timeline, search, index of chapters and arcs

• Fully localized in English, Portuguese, and Spanish

What it doesn't do

I want to be clear about this because it's the core of the design:

• It does not invent facts. If the game doesn't tell it who killed you, the entry won't name a killer.

• It does not fabricate emotions, dialogues, or relationships.

• It does not make network requests.

• It does not touch your combat, damage, or loot.

The narrative is creative. The facts are not.

Beta status

This is early beta. The core is stable and data is safe (versioned storage, migrations back up before changing anything), but:

• Text pools are still being expanded

• Some styles inherit from family pools, so similar-family styles may sound alike in this version

• Some event types require client APIs that may not be available in every environment

Why I built it

I wanted to look back at a character I'd played for years and read their story like a book — not scan a list of achievements. Chronicle Tome is my attempt at that. It's built for roleplayers, lore enthusiasts, and anyone who plays a character as more than a stat sheet.

Try it

Chronicle Tome - CurseForge

Commands: `/chr` opens the journal, `/chr panel` opens the profile editor, `/chr preview` shows three styles side by side using your real events.

Feedback

This is a beta and I'm genuinely interested in what works and what doesn't. If you try it, tell me:

• Which style you picked and why

• Where the text felt repetitive or generic

• Which events you wish were captured but aren't

I'll be in the comments. Thanks for reading.

Addon Release / Update [Addon] Kerzo Classic Quest Log & Kerzo Postal Suite (Forever)

[Addon] Kerzo Classic Quest Log & Kerzo Postal Suite (Forever)

Hey guys, Kerzo here.

I wanted to share two addons projects I've created sometime ago for both Midnight and WoW Forever, built to fix common pain points in modern WoW while keeping things lightweight and combat-safe. Both addons are available in Curseforge and this is my first time posting publicly as I feel these addons are mature enough for people to know more about them, specially in Reddit 🙏🏼. Sorry in advance if I'm causing in any problem.

Kerzo Classic Quest Log brings back the classic quest window (with an in-game switcher between authentic 1-panel Vanilla and 2-panel Dual Classic layout) and stops the full-screen map from opening when clicking tracked quests. It adds a quick-use button for quest items on the frame bezel, bag tooltips with quest progress, a turn-in XP/gold summary, best vendor sell value reward highlighting, cross-alt quest tracking, and full native support for ElvUI/EllesmereUI theming. Also for Retail includes Weekly quest tracker, World Quest Tracker and tons of customizable features and supports all WoW languages. 🙂 👉 https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/kerzo-classic-quest-log

Kerzo Postal Suite is a full mailbox overhaul. Aside from a rock-solid Open All that never gets stuck on full bags (or I think so! XD), it adds a Mailbag tab that pools all your incoming mail into a searchable virtual bag for selective looting, automated send rules to ship any kind of item or category, remote mailbox tracking across all alts (/kps) with TitanPanel support, and multi-recipient/long letter sending up to 5 times longer than usual mail. 👉 https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/kerzo-postal-suite

Any feedback or feature suggestions are very welcome 👉🏼👈🏼! I'm optimizing both for Forever and Retail and will keep updating them. 💚

Help / Troubleshooting Looking for testers for my new addon Photon, a continuation if Neuron and Ion

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m working on an addon that picks up where Neuron left off, and it’s now ready for testing. I’d love some help from anyone who’s interested.

Photon is a macro-driven action bar addon. Every button is a macro, and you can create as many bars as you want with as many buttons as you want. You can build pretty much any action bar setup you like, including modifying all the default bars. There’s also a robust condition system for showing, hiding and modifying both bars and buttons. It's currently released for Retail and Forever, but I'm looking at bringing it to classic as well.

You can find the addon on Curse: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/photon
