Looking for Addon Seeking alternative to Mik's Scrolling Battle Text

Despite it being updated for Midnight, it still acts pretty wonky. Like in combat, it registers every hit as a crit, as well as other odd things. Any recommendations for an alternative would be fantastic.

Addon Release / Update Epithet: Titles showcase

15 Upvotes

Epithet Update

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/epithet

Epithet recently placed in the top 10 finalists and winners of the 2026 Curseforge Add-on competition this year. It was a blast and led to chatting to other new and niche add-on developers who had released add-ons this year (that was part of the entry criteria).

Every title you've earned, in one hall of names.

Epithet is a collections add-on for the one reward World of Warcraft never gave a proper home: your titles. the Astral Walker. Hand of A'dal. Scarab Lord. Each one is a story, a raid cleared, a grind survived, a moment that mattered. Epithet gathers them into a single calm, scholarly journal so you can browse, filter, and equip any title in two clicks, without digging through menus or fumbling slash commands (although we do have slash commands if that's your thing).

It looks and feels (hopefully) like a quiet hall of heraldry, built for prestige rather than flash.

Epithet 1.2.0 Released

You're being watched (in a nice way, I guess?)

Every title-bearer you walk past (and click on) now gets quietly stored away on record. Who had it, where you spotted them, and whether it's the first time you've seen it in the wild. Epithet's Spotting log remembers all of it, so you can finally prove you saw someone rocking "the Insane" before it was cool, well technically not, given when this feature's being released, but you get the drift.

  • First spotted, last spotted, and how many times you've clocked it since.
  • Where you saw it, who was wearing it, and what class and rarity it is.
  • Oddly, not necessary details of what class and race you first saw wearing it, totally necessary.
  • Bump into the same title again later and the count just ticks up in the background, quietly. No judgement. Okay, some judgement.

76 achievements for a hobby you didn't know you had

Staring at strangers' names now pays off. Open the new Achievements tab from the Logbook for a proper tile grid you can click through, complete with progress indicators and earn dates - and a healthy pile of secrets that stay hidden until you stumble into them.

Three ways to earn your reputation as a title menace:

  • Spotting (account-wide): for the committed people-watcher. Chase down Roll Call, Full Spectrum, Grand Tour, and the increasingly concerning Personal Space Is a Myth.
  • Collection (per-character): for showing off what you actually own, from First of My Name to the fully-decked-out Dressed for Every Occasion.
  • Crossovers (per-character): the petty ones. Takes One to Know One and Window Shopper only unlock once your own collection and your spotting habit start talking to each other.

Earn one and a popup lets you know!

Addon Release / Update Gratz! 2.0 — browse the curated Midnight achievement set in-game, with realm/region/global standings and guild & group leaderboards

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I run gratz.gg, an achievement-tracking site built on a crawl of ~9.7 million US+EU characters, and today I shipped v2 of its companion add-on, Gratz!, a big enough rework to make it worth an update.

The HUD

What it does:

  • Midnight browser — a strip docked to Blizzard's achievement UI with the curated Midnight set including the normally hidden Feats of Strength that obtainable. Search, sort by rarity or closest-to-done, filter by reward (mounts, titles, decor…). Achievement ladders collapse to a single row — the next rung you'd actually do — with the full ladder in the tooltip and your position highlighted.
  • Progress bar — a small HUD with your Midnight count, this week's gains, feats earned, and where you stand on your realm (region and global on hover).
  • Guild & group boards — your guild ranked by Midnight completion, built up passively from guild mates you cross paths with (paced, never in combat, fully optional), plus a live party/raid ladder.

Where the standings and rarity come from: the site's corpus, baked into the add-on as a snapshot — every figure ships in the zip with its own "as of" date. A fresh data release now goes out automatically every Wednesday after reset.

Question Weak Auras no longer opens main menu Classic-Era HC

1 Upvotes

Weak Auras no longer open the main menu when clicked on my minimap or with the command /wa. Weak Auras that are already existing imports seem to mostly work, though a few seem to no longer work? (Warrior buff tracker seems to not work)

I tried updating from the latest release (5.21.8) to the latest alpha (5.21.8-10-g38d4bf1), but it doesn't seem to improve anything.

Any idea if or when weak auras will release a stable update that fixes the issues?

Addon Release / Update Introducing HelperHub: Lightweight Quality-of-Life Addons for World of Warcraft Retail

0 Upvotes

Hey all!

I've been working on a bunch of small quality-of-life addons and decided to bundle them together into a single addon suite called HelperHub.

A list of the included addons are:

CrowdControlHelper - Reminds you before your crowd control expires.
KickHelper - Alerts you when your interrupt is available during an enemy cast.
DispelHelper - Voice alerts when a dispellable debuff appears.
FormHelper - Spec-specific on-screen Druid reminder when you are in the wrong form.
StanceHelper - Spec-specific on-screen Warrior reminder when you are in the wrong stance.
HealHelper - On-screen warning that displays your healing potion/healthstone when your life drops below threshold.
ReticleHelper - A simple configurable center-screen reticle.
CursorHelper - High-visibility customizable cursor.
QueueHelper - Streamlines group applications by reducing clicks and remembering your signup note.

The basic goal is: lightweight addons that each solve one problem well, stay configurable, and are Blizzard ToS-friendly.

I'd love for you to check it out! Feedback, suggestions, and feature ideas are always welcome

Hello Classic fans,

I’ve made a small Pandaria‑themed puzzle addon — just a simple, relaxing game to play while waiting for ships, zeppelins, groups, or simply enjoying the atmosphere.

Click a gem to flip the ones around it, and try to flip them all.
Very simple, very relaxing.

Help / Support Troubleshooting addon functionality

3 Upvotes

I am back to the game for the first time since Dragonflight. This time around, I've got a basically completely modified UI, through ElvUI (using ToxiUI) as well as Ellesmere for mostly UI Reskin Addons. Also have been using Pawn and I noticed that with the UI enhancment from Ellesmere, the arrow for improvements on the item frame (not the information within the text) is gone. I can still hover the item, which I will do if there is no fix, but I wonder if there is a setting within Ellesmere or Pawn that bring that back.

Addon Release / Update Sharing some of the addons I have built

22 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Ever since the addon armageddon following the release of 12.0.0, I've found that I sorely miss a lot of the custom WeakAuras I had painstakingly built up over the years. Some of them got made into addons, some of them can never work again, but there was a small set of WAs that were possible to make into an addon, but had not yet done so. This started me on my own personal journey of addon development, and i have found myself building more and more ever since!

Sharing the 6 addons i have built so far - it's not really an "Addon Suite" but more like a collection of addons solving for specific niches that I wanted for myself. Take a look - would appreciate feedback and support!

[ Loot History ]

It's a passive loot-tracking addon for World of Warcraft: Midnight, which keeps a permanent, account-wide record of every item you loot (above a quality threshold you choose), works out where each drop came from, and gives you a standalone window to browse the full history and an Insights view to analyze it — so you always know what you picked up, when, and from what.

Links

Screenshots

[ KickCD ]

KickCD helps you decide when to interrupt. It tracks two enemy units — your target and your focus — and puts two things on screen for each one:

  • An icon grid of your interrupts and cast-stopping crowd control, each with a cooldown timer and a clear ready / not-ready look. It comes set up for your class and spec out of the box.
  • cast bar that shows what that unit is casting — the spell's icon, its name, and how much time is left — and colors itself by whether the cast can be interrupted.

Focus tracking is on out of the box and mirrors your target's look, so you get a matching second set. You can move each grid and cast bar, resize them, and lock everything with a single lock; it all appears and disappears together based on one visibility setting you choose. Don't want the focus set? Turn it off. Want it to look different from your target's? Unlink it and style it on its own.

[ Consumable Master ]

An auto-managed consumable-macro addon for World of Warcraft: Midnight. It keeps a fixed set of account-wide macros always pointed at the best consumable in your bags — across eleven categories, plus two combo macros that switch depending on whether you're in combat. Set up your food, flask, and potion macros once and never rebuild them again.

Whenever you loot something better, change spec, reload, or drop out of combat, Consumable Master updates each macro to use your best current pick — the right item, or the right spell for class abilities like Recuperate. The macros are account-wide, so one set is shared by all your characters. They're matched by name rather than by slot, so you can move them around your macro list freely and they'll keep working alongside your own macros.

[ Absorb Tracker ]

Ka0s Absorb Tracker shows your current absorb shield as a movable bar, so you can see at a glance how much damage you can soak up. Move the bar anywhere on screen and restyle almost everything about it — its size, the bar and background textures and colors, the border, and the font. The bar fill, background, and border can each follow your class color if you prefer.

[ Pretty Chat ]

PrettyChat cleans up World of Warcraft's system messages — the lines you get for loot, currency, gold, reputation, experience, honor, and crafting — and rewrites them in a tidy, color-coded layout that's easy to scan in a busy chat window. You can turn any message type on or off, and change its wording and colors, from the in-game settings panel.

Links

Curseforge: Link

Screenshots

[ WhatGroup ]

WhatGroup remembers the details of any group you join through the Premade Group Finder, so you can close the LFG window and still know what you signed up for. It shows those details two ways:

  • chat message a moment after you join. It lists the group name, the instance, the type (Mythic+, Raid, Dungeon, PvP, and so on), the leader, and the group's playstyle. If the dungeon has a teleport spell, that's shown too (tagged if you haven't learned it), plus a "view details" link that re-opens the popup.
  • popup window with the same details and a teleport button for the dungeon (grayed out until you learn the spell). Drag it anywhere, close it with ESC, or re-open it with /wg show while you're still in the group.

Addon Release / Update [TokenTrend] I added a way to seed my WoW Token addon with real history

8 Upvotes

I make an addon called TokenTrend. It tracks the WoW Token price in-game and charts it, moving averages, candlesticks, buy and sell signals, the whole trading-terminal thing.

It always had one annoying problem. Addons can only record the price while you're logged in, so a fresh install started with a blank chart. You'd have to play for weeks before it had enough data to actually be useful. Not a great first impression.

So I fixed it. You can now seed the chart with real price history in about ten seconds.

Here's how it works. There's a page on my site that pulls recent token history straight from Blizzard's official data. You copy a short string for your region, paste it into the addon, and your chart fills in immediately. Real prices, not filler. It's insert-only too, so it never overwrites anything you've recorded yourself, and it's safe to run more than once.

The seed page is here: kkthnx.com/wow/token

The addon is on CurseForge: curseforge.com/wow/addons/tokentrend

If you don't have the string handy, the addon has a Get URL button that hands you the address to copy into your browser, since WoW obviously can't open a link for you.

Been building this one for a while and I'm pretty happy with how the seed thing turned out. If you try it and something breaks or feels off, tell me. I'd rather hear about it and fix it than have it quietly annoy you.

Looking for Addon [HELP] Any recommendations on a Midnight-compliant disenchant addon that tells you which enchanting materials an item could give if you disenchanted it? Preferably on tooltip?

Enchantrix is "incompatible", Disenchant Buddy is classic-only. A lot of enchanting addons I see but they seem to focus on auto-disenchanting things or making disenchanting easier, whereas I just want tooltip info. Thank you in advance!

Looking for Addon [HELP] Looking for addon that allowed me to scroll up much further than the standard 60 lines.

4 Upvotes

Until a few weeks ago I used to be able to scroll up hundreds of lines and view any chat/loot history from an hour prior. However, I can not remember which addon allowed for this. It was a simple addon (or option within an addon) that enabled this. After an addon purge I did a few weeks ago this ability has vanished and I can’t find what I used to use.

Now I am aware that there are addons like Elephant and Prat 3.0 out there, but those addons bring way too many options. I just wish to scroll up more lines, no more, no less.

Addon Release / Update InTime Update 1.3.0

Post image
5 Upvotes

Since some of you enjoyed my InTime addon, i wanted to share my progress with your requests.

Biggest update of all, it works in real time now too! :D

InTime: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/intime

Description

InTime – Mythic+ Pace Tracker

InTime is a lightweight, always-visible HUD bar that tells you at a glance whether your group is on track to time your Mythic+ key — no math required.

How It Works

InTime tracks the official Blizzard dungeon progress (enemy forces % + boss kills) and compares it against the time elapsed. The bar smoothly shifts green when you're ahead of pace and red when you're falling behind. A delta timer and key-level prediction (+1 / +2 / +3) update live above the bar.

Features

  • Real-time pace bar — visual indicator glides left/right of center based on your group's current pace vs. required pace
  • +1 / +2 / +3 prediction — shows estimated time surplus or deficit and which key bonus you're on track for (e.g. +3:45 (+2))
  • ETA delta — displays how many minutes and seconds ahead or behind the timer you currently are
  • Post to group chat — one click shares your current time status with the group (e.g. InTime: +5min in time)
  • HP-weighted boss progress — bosses count according to their actual health pool, not a flat share, for a more accurate progress estimate
  • Death penalty aware — a dedicated row shows deaths and total time lost (e.g. †2 (-0:30)); only visible when deaths have occurred
  • Options panel — configure everything in the Blizzard settings (or /it options): scale, width, button side, lock/unlock, live preview, and advanced pace tuning (warmup, boss weight, bar speed)
  • Minimap button — left-click toggles the bar, right-click opens the settings
  • Edit Mode support — opening WoW's Edit Mode automatically unlocks the bar for repositioning
  • Per-character settings — position, scale and all options are stored per character; existing settings migrate automatically
  • Reload-safe — reconnects to the active timer on /reload using Blizzard's native world elapsed timer
  • Warm-up dampening — bar stays neutral for the first 30 seconds to avoid misleading spikes on the first pull (duration and strength configurable)
  • Per-dungeon profiles — includes time limits and boss data for all current Midnight season dungeons; dungeon names display in your client language
  • Localized — English, German, French, Spanish (EU/MX)

If you have any requests on it, post them and i will try to update it to your needs.

Upcoming:
- ElvUI Style ( no Background only text and bars visible)
- Improved options for configuration

Help / Support Unhalted Unit Frames group number for raids?

0 Upvotes

Guess latest news is I saw it was losing support but still a popular add on from what I see.

What I realized tonight is I was doing Chimeraus and usually everyone knows group 1, 2, 3, 4 from the blizzard raid/party menu. Well I thought I was in group 2 on my view from unhalted frames but then everyone pointed out I was in group 3.

Am I missing something or do these addons that work with party/raid not work with group numbers that default blizzard uses?

Addon Release / Update KeyPilot | An all-in-one M+ addon I've been building

63 Upvotes

I've been building an M+ addon called KeyPilot and figured I'd finally put it in front of people who'd actually use it.

The reason I started it was pretty selfish I was tired of running a timer, a separate addon to do this and that, and alt-tabbing to figure out which key to run next. So I tried to cram all of it into one place.

What it does:

  • Timer with the +1/+2/+3 cutoffs on a single bar, so you can see at a glance which upgrade you're on pace for and how long until it slips.
  • Ghost racing against your own best run for that exact dungeon and key level, boss by boss. You can export a run to a text code and hand it to a friend to race.
  • A coach that learns where you keep dying (which boss, which role) and warns you before those pulls. It only nags about stuff that's actually gotten you in enough recent runs, and it shuts up once you've stopped dying to it.
  • Score hub that picks your best "run this next" by rating gain × your real odds of timing it, and reads the keystone in your bags to tell you whether it's worth running or rerolling.
  • Goal & Path (the newest bit) — set a rating target and it maps out the specific keys to run to get there.
  • A career journal that saves every key forever — splits, deaths, roster, season history.

Fair warning: it's niche and still small, so honestly I'm mostly here for feedback. If you try it and something's clunky, confusing, or missing,

Addon Release / Update [Addon] MythicRankHUD — Regional Mythic+ Rank and Progress Tracker

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Regional database required: MythicRankHUD needs one regional database pack to calculate ranking estimates, percentile cutoffs, and progression targets.

Choose the pack matching the region you want to track:

  • Americas and Oceania — QFXMythicRankData_US
  • Europe — QFXMythicRankData_EU
  • Korea — QFXMythicRankData_KR
  • Taiwan — QFXMythicRankData_TW
  • China — QFXMythicRankData_CN

You only need one matching regional database, not all five.

Hi everyone! I made MythicRankHUD to help Mythic+ players better understand where their score roughly places them within their region and what they could work toward next.

The compact HUD can show:

  • Estimated regional rank
  • Percentage of players surpassed
  • Daily score and estimated rank changes
  • Top 40%, 25%, 10%, 1%, and 0.1% score cutoffs
  • A smart next progression target
  • Score needed to reach that target
  • Estimated rank and percentile ranges

Left-clicking the HUD opens a more detailed season window with dungeon scores, completion statistics, Great Vault progress, current keystone information, and regional cutoff trends.

The regional database packs are automatically updated twice each day. This helps keep percentile cutoffs, ranking population data, score targets, and ranking estimates fresh throughout the season.

The displayed rankings are estimates based on published percentile cutoff and population data, rather than exact live leaderboard positions.

I would appreciate any feedback about the layout, calculations, or information you would find useful to see in future updates.
