Must-Have Addons in BfA

Tip for the Caligraphy minigame to save addon space. Mount up. You can follow the line waaaay before it disapears.

[@albertgeorgy6827]

It makes it harder

[@eatthepi]

Yep. They either made these quests way easier, or the server lag has decreased making them easier. Mounted you'll be able to follow 2/3 or 3/4 of the path, so you'll only have to plan your last half second. I'll be curious to see if these get harder again when the new patch and raid drop, and the server lag goes up again.

[@alexanderhellinger6062]

it's so easy though... idk why y'all complaining just lower your sensitivity lol

[@maki7249]

I like 2 legged mounts like raptors for the square and triangle and the water strider for the circle.

[@Zoggosh]

Really love Savedinstances. It lets you keep track of everything you need to get done on all of your alts without having to swap around to each one and remember everything. A must have for anyone with more than a couple characters.

[@tenortim]

If you had bothered to watch past the first 30 seconds, or were actually paying any attention, you might have noticed that there was footage from much more recent gameplay too. So your implication that it was "nothing but a reuploaded(sic) video" is complete crap, but you were apparently much too interested in complaining about the video to watch the whole thing. Hint, you're not going to be raiding in the Battle of Dazar'alor at level 110. Also, reading comprehension, the videe tot;e isn't "how to get though Mechagon/NazJatar", it's "Must-Have Addons in BfA", which. last I checked, started in patch 8.0.

[@Damon970]

All of the calligraphy quests are very easy if you mount up first. On the circle, you can be done before the example disappears. On the triangle and square you can get to the last edge point before the example disappears and just aim for the ending. Easy peasy.

[@BingeReader19]

I'm so excited for Rematch! I have been referring back to the team I need for different battle masters by flipping through my handy dandy notebook and that takes time. Thank you Hazel for sharing!!

[@bradyparrish8812]

I’m a total wow noob who spent 20 years on console far away from MMO’s and my experience with wow has gone from great to straight up crack because of your helpful and informative tutorials. You the real MVP

[@frankjonasen]

top addons to recomend to new Players besides the overall ones.: GTFO: Makes anoying noises for when you are dying to stuff you are standing in. OmniCC: gives you a cooldown timer for your abilitys. SmexyMats: shows the Expansion version of stuff you loot, so you know if its for the current expansion or a previous one.

[@Warpyxels]

Just when I was about to delete all my mods and get new and updated ones.... Hazel puts this vid......love ur work ;) and thanks soo much for all the help.

[@foxstarwind99]

To add to this amazing list, here are 3 more that I just refuse to play without: 1: Bagnon. This is the best 1 bag mod I have used and it comes with many options to make it look just the way you want. 2: TomTom. Why Blizz hasn't added a custom waypoint system default already I have no clue, but this mod does just that. You can mark a spot on your map and then you will get an arrow that points you in the direction of your mark. You can disable the arrow if you want, but you are also not limited to one mark either. 3: Garrison Mission Manager. There are a few of these, but this is the one I like. Just like with rematch and world quest list, this helps you manage your garrison/order hall/mission table with as little as 1 or two button clicks.

[@nearlystuck6947]

Bagnon is life!

[@Kerrogann]

The waypoint system will be in Shadowlands ^^

[@NoneDareChallengeMe]

Protip: World Quest List is great to snag those mogs you're missing from Legion and BfA. You'd be surprised how many that pop up as a WQ reward. WQL will show you if ur missing one by hovering over the relevant WQ.

[@MalhaIIa]

If you also have CaniMogit.. or ATT I guess..

[@niltonjunior9804]

For those who like random bg’s, I totally recommend BattleGroundEnemies, it shows all enemies on a bar in your UI and is very customizable!

[@frostbiteonline6732]

YOU HAVE A VOICE OVER FOR DBM?!?? Let’s gooooooooo can’t wait to check it out when I get on later!

[@VeritasUnae]

For add ons you didn’t mention here, I’m a big fan of Rarity for knowing when something might drop something or be part of an achievement, Details for damage meters and knowing if I’m doing well in raiding, and TRP3 because it has a really quick way to switch languages by a drop down menu on the screen, among other flavourful RP oddities.

[@ShiaraMoon]

Omg World Quest List sounds so amazing that I’m downloading it now before I go to bed so I don’t forget about it tomorrow

[@davidmcfall9169]

EasyDeleteConfirm is an addon I like as it removes the need to type the word "DELETE" if you want to destroy certain items. it's a nice quality of life addon

[@666Metalholic]

Glad I found this. Was planning on boosting a character to lvl 120 and see what add-ons I may need to help me since there's a lot of content leading up to BFA

[@davejohnston5479]

This video was perfect for helping me get back up to speed on my addons after having not played in a long time. Great video. Thank you so much.

[@T3hN3wB]

AutoVendor and World Quest List are def must haves. With over 42 thousand total WQ's done this is my go to. I use it w/ tomtom and just go to a zone sort by distance and pick a start point and go from there. AutoVendor lets me do what I've always done, LOOT EVERYTHING!!!! There has always been an addon of this sort somewhere this just has been the flavor since Legion. I def approve this list :P My top 3 Would be: TSM WA EasyScrap

[@quazzarr]

Elvui: vendorsell and ui overhaul premade groups filter: great for sorting the group finder azerite power weights: 90% of the time it's suggestion for azerite traits pairs with raidbots personal mount favorites: character specific mount faves worldflightmap: makes the flight master's map the actual map with all ur wq and stuff... trust me i cant live without it

[@MusicAdvocat3]

my whole guild uses this, it's the recommended UI as it's all inclusive or almost all ;) but it's so customizable..you can do whatever you want still in a nice tight framework! it even has an undater app is you wish! I recommend it form someone looking to have all the toys and not much hassle! updated almost weekly, so very current!

[@tomoak5322]

Thanks Hazel, I was looking for vídeos about addons to BFA

[@djbapt]

For the WQ where you fill circle and stuff for Tortollans, do it on a mount (a small one to see where you're going precisely), you can almost finish the run before it disappears.

[@oklahomahank2378]

On the calligraphy quests I have found them pretty easy if I just look for landmarks like cracks in the pavement.

[@bombbuter]

Bagnon is extrmely necessary, so is TomTom if you travel a lot and dont remember to always keep in a straight line. i love your content!!!!!

[@zurran00]

Bagnon is a must for me

[@brycebealey1719]

You can do calligraphy on your mount, makes it incredibly easy to follow the pattern whilst it is still visible. Got the achievement for perfect shapes after one try of each shape except triangle which took two.

[@solaceinrage]

Lesser known, but these addons are make or break for me. Geist- It's a 5x5 button grid that appears at your mouse location on a button press. If you know about opie, it is like that, but simpler. ek plates- a nameplate addon with a distinctive look. instead of a bar plate, this gives a numeric plate above mobs. It also provides combat info such as spells they are casting, if the spell is interruptable etc, but being numeric and squared these are the best plates I have found for making out a lot of info across large groups of enemies.

[@thingsretiredpeopledo3060]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the tip about Rematch. I'm currently using Pet Battle Teams (have been since you recommended it years ago) and it has become so cumbersome! My way of finding the right team for the job is to go to either the top or bottom of the list and click-scroll the correct number of times (got placement sort of memorized thru long use) to get to the team. ARGH! So thank you again, Hazel.

[@assreal6516]

"No mimiron's head, what a surprise" so relatable

[@Lunasneedleandhook]

The world quest addon is such a big help, thank you so much for pointing it out!

[@wadewuzhere]

+1 for World Quest List. I see a lot of people using world quest tracker, but i found the UI to be a bit annoying and clunky, whereas WQL is just perfect. Don't be too proud to use it for shell game tho. Having a damage meter is important too (assuming you do current content), and I'm a big fan of Details!. It's a larger addon, but it has a lot of power that you can do with it. Anything that happens in a fight - you can see. It's like having a mini warcraft logs for every fight, right in front of you, large recommend. I'm also a die hard Elvui fan - a complete UI overhaul that's super easy to customize and setup with exactly how you want it to be. If you're a healer for PvE, clique is another fantastic addon that lets you automatically make all of your spells mouseovers. PvP players usually won't want that, they like hard targeting, but it's all your preference.

[@Boogley87]

So I have a similar add-on called Scrap that sells my junk, and let's me set specific items (bop boss drops, etc) as junk to auto sell when I open the vendor window. I also don't have to close and reopen if I have more than what can be sold, I just spam click my sell button. Best add-on ever imo. Also, Bagnon which shows my bags as one window. I couldn't play without either of these haha.

[@normandowser8029]

TomTom (easy way to find something if you know the cords, just type /way xx.x, xx.x and it will give you an arrow to follow and put a mark on the map.) Altoholic (have a lot of alts and this keeps track of mail, quests, and so on.) Decursive ( I also play a healer and this is great to debuff.) Pawn (I have a lot of alts and this will let me know if the item is a good upgrade or not) Recount (keeps track of damage you do and take and healing stats of the group.) HandyNotes (you also need to get pulgins for each expansion and for what your tracking, gives notes on things like rares and chests like if it's in a cave or you need to do a quest or have rep and so on to get.) Bagnon (I like this because you can highlight an item and see how many you have on all your toons in bags or bank and guild bank, I also like everything in one bag.)

[@ladydevildog8946]

I use all of these as well, thanks to your previous add-on video. Thank you so much, they've made my game play so much more fun!

[@sorinb.7475]

With 8.2 Handy Notes is a must. i also use all all those addons already + WeekAura/Elvui ofc and other couple of raiding and guild/alt tools.

[@demonangel918]

I use angry world quests, pet tracker and handy notes! I love pet tracker especially because it tells you which pets you are missing from a zone, where the pet trainers are and what their teams are. It’s still missing a few from BFA but otherwise still helpful

[@Schepard501]

3 must have addons imo 1. WeakAuras 2. ElvUI 3.Bigwigs/DBM

[@Navieh]

Your information/guide videos are really, really good. Keep it up!

[@tylerhoppert5077]

If you use Auctionator, please change the undercut to only 1 copper. There is no need to leave it at the default 5%.

[@grantbullimore]

changed mine to 1% years ago

[@Crisalpha]

I NEVER buy things that are undercut by 1 copper. I pick those that are 1 copper more expensive if they're not undercutting someone else by 1 copper. Why? Because it seems petty to undercut just by 1 copper and losing a few coppers makes no difference to me.

[@tylerhoppert5077]

I don't see the logic in it being "petty." It makes yours the lowest price without lowering the overall price (which in may come back to you when someone undercuts you.) It's not like someone manually typed an amount 1 copper less; the program does that automatically. The bigger you undercut, the more you hurt the overall market.

[@smiles8723]

These are great tips. I've watched the original video before but I picked up on several things I missed. Thanks for the advice!

[@katokhaelan4881]

My gosh, i just want to say thank you so much for this video. I am just coming back to the game and this was so helpful. I love your positive energy. Keep rockin

[@Doodlebob563]

Hey hazel, you can use your mount for calligraphy world quests. Oftentimes you can cruise through the entire design before the glitter trail even wears off because you're moving so fast ;D

[@Crisalpha]

Some of my favorites non raiding/M+ ones are: (1) HandyNotes for adding different stuff to maps (like color coded rares that have mounts/ pets who disappear after you get the item or holiday objectives) (2) Can I mog it? - adds an icon on items so you don't have to hover over (an X over those you don't have in your xmog list, a checkmark if you do) (3) AdiBags - bag addon that has predefined categories; similar to Ark, but easier to use (4) FavoriteContacts - simple addon that adds buttons for contacts on your mailbox so you don't have to type them, I added all my alts

[@nisbetbryce4240]

I'd absolutely go with DBM and World Quest List, but my third one would be the HUD I wrote myself that shows resources and cast bars for me and my target in the middle of the screen. Luckily, I know the developer won't stop updating that one. :) And as a note, I use Hazel's DBM voice pack. It's way more soothing than the default voices.

[@elmrothproductions]

Very good list, Hazel! :D

[@Rybus1]

1. Weak auras 2. Weak auras 3. Weak auras

[@sargonstarblade6862]

I use TSM and Auctioneer instead of Auctionator, and I use Auto-Repair and Sell-O-Matic2 (SOM2) instead of AutoVendor the advantage of SOM2 is that it can sell all the trash at once or you can put it in safe mode that will only sell 12 at a time, but it has a button that you can click that will sell the next 12 and so on. SOM2 also has tiny + & - buttons where you can click it to start adding things to your junk list by hovering over it and hitting ALT. Unfortunately it does not have the auto selling of BOP unusable items without adding it to the sell list, but that puts it there for all characters.

[@Kckitty04]

I don't know when I subbed to you, but I'm thankful. I just wanted to tell you after watching a couple videos that I found interesting to me that I love you. & Thank you!!!

[@Makoshark83]

Addons I can't live without: - TSM - TomTom - Bartender I prefer Bigwigs to DBM, but use DBM because my guild requires it. I prefer Details to Recount & Skada, and I use Adibags & World Quest Tracker. But I can and have lived without those before.

[@Necrovore]

Altoholic hands down my only mandatory addon.

[@MalhaIIa]

When the only function it still serve is showing loot accountwide in tooltip. And perhaps totalplayed as allplayed is defunct. I have to ask, what do you use altoholic for nowadays? Sure at start of expansions I use it to track characters rested status, but this is not enough to carry that heavyweight addon. The tooltip however, none else got such a nice one, but perhaps carbonite and that's like.. eh.

[@Necrovore]

@@MalhaIIa Since I am sitting at or near the char cap for my account, it is the only way I can keep track of what is on every character as I typically use alts as banks for non Soulbound items. Being able to tell with a mouseover which of my characters on my server are holding my stockpile ofd an item, and which bag/bank it is hiding in is incredibly useful for me. It also has a number of minor functions, auto fill in for mail and such, that are still usefull, sure other addons can do the same, and more, but this way I only need the one addon. And consolidating like that makes it so the larger footprint that Altoholic has isn't really an issue if I can use significantly fewer addons overall.

[@MalhaIIa]

@@Necrovore yea if it dies i wonder what we will end up with. i been tempted to try and pull the tooltip function out of the addon for years. wow addons are hard to make for me though so never got to it.
