World of Warcraft Classic is a return to the roots of the original game, mostly dedicated to the alts of this universe. However, no matter how much people love the vanilla WoW, we should face the truth — in many aspects, it is outdated, which can cause some discomfort even for fans of the series. The Season of Discovery has introduced several new features and changes to the game that improve the overall gaming experience. However, this is not enough for a comfortable game. Therefore, the best solution for players is to use addons that will fix and improve certain aspects of the classic version of World of Warcraft.
Questie
World of Warcraft: Classic is one of the few games that has retained the old and complicated approach to completing quests. After taking any task, you will not be given direct instructions on the minimap on where to move or where to pick up the desired item. To complete the tasks, the player will have to carefully read the quest descriptions given to them by NPCs and navigate the terrain to determine the right path. For some oldies and hardcore players, this process may be interesting. However, it should be recognized that this way you can spend a lot of time just understanding and searching for the right destination for the quest.
However, the Questie add-on improves your situation. Thanks to it, the player can now not only see the necessary quest points on the map but also see all the quests available in the vastness of Azeroth. In addition, this addon has several additional benefits: it indicates the required average level to complete the quest; the camps of mobs that need to be killed to collect the required item; and you can customize the search for the NPCs you need: traders, profession coaches, blacksmiths, etc. So Questie is the most necessary SoD addon for most players.
Bagnon
During the adventures in the world of Azeroth, the player collects a lot of different items. Ranging from junk for sale and various resources for specialization to equipment and weapons that will be necessary to kill mobs, bosses and pass difficult raids and dungeons. A player can have many bags that serve as an inventory, which contains all the items they find. However, it is quite inconvenient to keep track of them and put them in order, as each bag opens a separate interactive window for the player, which causes discomfort. Therefore, for convenience, there is such an addon as Bagnon, which combines all your bags into one continuous one. Thanks to this addon, item monitoring is now much easier, and items can be easily sorted and filtered. This is very useful when you need to group items for sale, food and potions, or quest items.
HandyNotes
If you're a true adventurer and treasure hunter, this addon is a must-have. HandyNotes will help you keep track of dungeons, treasures, places you need to go, and more on the map. All this makes life easier for those who like to clear locations because now you don't have to wander around for hours and think about whether you missed something or not. In addition, you can leave certain notes yourself using this addon to return to the desired location later. HandyNotes greatly facilitates navigation for those who do not want to spend a lot of time searching on their own or constantly using online resources with tips, which also creates some discomfort.
Auctionator
A useful and necessary addon for WoW SoD, which is used by many players. Auctionator is needed for more convenient management and monitoring of prices in the auction house. It comes in handy when you need to keep an eye on low prices for items that you require. Or vice when you are going to sell something to make room in your inventory. The navigation is straightforward, and the information on item prices is also very conveniently filtered to each item you require.
Deadly Boss Mods
This addon will become an integral part of your gaming experience when you have to participate in raids and dungeons. Deadly Boss Mods has a set of different functions related to audio and visual notifications for the player, which indicate behavioral changes on the battlefield. With this addon, you can track the time when bosses perform their abilities, and what effects they impose on themselves or you. It is a kind of guide for players that helps to determine the main strategies during the battle, indicating the readiness of the boss to use his spell; what you should do in the battle; and whether you should run away or still be able to cope with the enemies.
DBS is very flexible in its customization, and you can determine the position of the notification windows on the screen, their size, and color scheme. You can even customize this addon for each boss. Given the popularity of DBS in WoW Retail, which is simpler in some ways, it is a must-have add-on for World of Warcraft Season of Discovery.
Details! Damage Meter
Another much-needed addon for you in WoW SoD, which will be useful in battles with enemies, bosses, raids, and dungeons. DDM tracks information about the damage and healing that you or your allies have done. This way, you can know if your team members are doing their roles, if you have enough total damage in the fight, and what share of the team's healing is accounted for by your healers. Based on the results of the battles, you can understand which group aspect everyone should pay attention to and whether you have a weak link that could have caused a losing raid.
WeakAuras
This interface addon for SoD will be no less useful. It will help you display all the information you need about your abilities, auras, effects, stats, characteristics, and much more while customizing all the icons and labels as you see fit. All of this is to show you the prioritization of abilities, which ones you should press in which order to get the most out of your abilities and deal the most damage, and get the most buffs. WeakAuras requires you to customize all the icons you require manually, so it will take some time to get the hang of it. However, you can take an easier way: download ready-made presets for the corresponding character class and use them.
Leatrix Plus та Leatrix Maps
These two addons are sold separately, but they are usually installed together to get the best effect from the final result of user interface settings. Leatrix Plus can customize everything you see on the screen in front of you and automate some processes in the game itself. For example, you can disable unnecessary resizing of individual elements; turn off unnecessary sound effects; sell unnecessary items and repair equipment automatically; track arrival times, etc.
Leatrix Maps is a great addition to Leatrix Plus, which allows you to customize the map for greater convenience, remove the fog of war, and monitor important points and locations for research.
Extended Character Stats
The vanilla World of Warcraft feels dry in many ways, in terms of the ability to track a player's personal progress and detailed characterization. This is not surprising, because in the past, such subtleties were not paid much attention to, so most of the data about the hero is hidden from the player. However, the Extended Character Stats add-on corrects this deficiency. Players can view the details of their character's stats more comprehensively and customize the display of these parameters for greater convenience.
Now you can see what critical damage and what chance you can hit an enemy with a weapon or magic. The main sources of your parameters are described in detail, as well as your defense score. Thus, it becomes easier for the player to navigate which character traits are weaker and what needs to be pumped up so that the character does not sag in strength, endurance, and resilience in battles.
Atlas Loot
World of Warcraft Classic lacks a dungeon log and relevant information about items from bosses. Therefore, the Atlas Loot addon for WoW Season of Discovery provides complete information about the dungeons, bosses, their mechanics, and most importantly, the rewards that can be obtained. By tracking the necessary data, it will be easy for the player to find out where to get the right item and equipment for their collection. This avoids unnecessary raids and time spent searching for information on the Internet because it is not necessary when everything is at hand.
Conclusion
These addons are very useful and necessary tools that will make the gameplay easier for most players. When playing WoW Classic SoD, they can simplify and adapt certain game elements for most players, improving navigation, interface ergonomics, and interaction with many elements of the game.
