Trailwright

FAQ

Questions people ask

Is it really free?

Yes, all of it, for everyone. Blizzard's add-on rules say add-ons must be free, and Trailwright has no paid tier, no "premium" route and no early access for money. Donations are a thank-you and unlock nothing.

Is it allowed?

It's a normal add-on: it runs inside the game's add-on system, like any quest or map add-on. It never moves your character.

Does it play for me?

No. It never moves your character or fights for you. When you talk to a quest giver, it hands in finished quests and takes the ones on your route (option "Accept and hand in quests for you", on by default; hold Shift to pause it). If you turn on "Also choose the quest reward", it picks the best reward too.

Does it send my data anywhere?

Not over the internet: add-ons can't go online. Inside the game, add-ons can talk to other players' copies: party routes go to party members who run Trailwright, and the built-in Shortest Path Forever shares transport sightings and travel stats with guild, group and nearby players. What Trailwright learns stays in its saved files on your PC. The normal download keeps no play log at all. An optional data helper (a separate download) can send your play data in to help fix routes; it's off unless you install it. See Privacy.

Auto, the Path or a zone: which should I use?

Auto plans from where you stand and changes as you play: best if you play your own way, skip things or group up. The Path is one fixed order from 1 to 60: best if you like a set route you can follow without thinking. A zone levels you in the zone you pick, from all its quests.

Why does the route differ from guide X?

Most guides are written for a fresh character on a set path. Trailwright scores the quests open to your character right now, so it can pick different ones, especially after you've wandered off a guide.

A quest is wrong or missing. What do I do?

When you talk to a quest giver, Trailwright sees what they really offer and leaves out a quest that isn't there, so a gap costs one wrong suggestion at most. Please still report it on Help with the quest's name.

Does it work with other add-ons?

It's made to run on its own. If you also use another quest guide, two arrows may point at once: turn one off. Shortest Path Forever is already built in, so don't install it separately.

Is it in Polish?

Yes. It starts in English; switch with Options > "Polski / Polish" or /route lang pl, then /reload. Game names (quests, NPCs, items) stay as the game shows them.

Can I use it in a group?

Yes: Menu > Party. Party plans one route from everyone's quest logs, Leader makes everyone follow the leader's route. Party members who run Trailwright take part.

Can I share it, change it, or put it on another site?

Yes, under the GPL-3.0-or-later licence: pass on the files with the licence and credits. Please don't charge for it, and don't call a changed copy "Trailwright", so players know which one they're getting.
