Leveling addon

World of Warcraft is a game which you can your own addons for. There are really a lot of addons released. A lot of those addons don't add anything to the game and have been made by authors. However some of them may be really useful. Since a couple of month I try to experiment with quite some addons. Mainly the leveling addons as I do like to level some of my alts.

There are two leveling addons that are quite good in my opinion. The first one and the one I tried first is the addon called QuestHelper. This addon will give some additional options to your map. On the map there will be place serveral icons. Those icons give you the location where you need to do things in order to complete a quest. Unfortunately I don't have a good screenshot of it so you can either check out the screenshot on the Curse website I've just linked or try the addon yourself.
The second great addon for leveling your alts which I currently uses the most is the addon from Jame's Leveling Guides (WoW-Pro). It is an addon that is based on two other addons called TourGuide and TomTom. This addon will show a big green arrow on the screen so that you know which way you have to walk (Like TomTom in the Real Life). And Jame's Leveling Guides has been optimized for the TourGuide together with the TomTom addon you can level really really fast. Maybe this way is the fastest way there exists at this moment. You can find the addon from Jame here. There is also writen how to install and configure this addon.

This is basicly the end of this message however I've just orderen a book called 'World of Warcraft Programming: A Guide and Reference for Creating WoW Addons'. This is a book which you introduce in writing addons for World of Warcraft. For more information check their website here. I peronally want to create an addon which strips the current UI and make everything more clear. Just to try as experiment to make new and bigger addons near the future.
