WotLK‘s improved questing system means that there’s a good chance you’re going to have to loot a lot of basic mobs throughout the course of your journey to level 80. While WoW offers some basic auto loot options by default, those default options only slightly speed up the basic looting process.

If you really want to fly through the game, you should check out Speedy Auto Loot. As the name implies, this addon streamlines the looting process as much as possible while still allowing you to manage your inventory on the go. It’s just a tremendous quality-of-life improvement.

Questing in older versions of WoW is an experience just short of a nightmare for many gamers accustomed to such modern novelties as clear directions and efficient information tracking. While WotLK improved questing quite a bit in comparison to Classic, it can still be a lot to keep up with if you’re just relying on the base UI.

That’s why so many players consider Questie to be an essential part of the WotLK Classic experience. By helping you keep track of your progress on your current quest as well as the status of all your accepted quests, Questie eliminates nearly every significant annoying element of the retro WoW questing experience without entirely diluting the flavor of the journey.

This is the addon that WoW players refuse to admit that they love. After all, part of the “Classic” experience is supposed to involve figuring things out for yourself and losing yourself in the world. Of course, if you’re already downloading add-ons that cut into that spirit, you might as well add one of the game’s most useful QoL addons.

TomTom is a GPS tool that shows you exactly where to go to reach quest objectives and other vital locations. It certainly doesn’t automate the navigation process, but it does allow you to take the most direct path to where you’d like to go. Whether that’s what you’re looking for is up to you to decide.
