The next step, always on screen
A small panel says the one thing to do now: kill, collect, turn in, accept, train. Want less? The minimal panel shows just the next three steps.
For WoW Forever · Horde and Alliance
Know the next step. Every step.
Waystone is a free, step-by-step leveling guide addon. It tells you what to do now, points the way, and puts the right quest NPC or mob one key press away.

See it in game
Free, with no paid tier. First route: Valley of Trials and Durotar, levels 1 to 12, for every Orc and Troll class. Alliance follows.
What it does
One key to target
F9 targets the enemy the step needs, F8 the friendly NPC, and pressing again moves to the next one. Or click a name in the panel. The keys work in combat and can be changed.
Quest items on a key
F7 uses the item the step asks for, so you don't have to dig through your bags.
Accepts and turns in for you
Talk to the NPC and the guide's quests are accepted and turned in by themselves. Quests the route doesn't need are left alone. Both can be switched off.
Quest alerts
A sound when a quest mob is near, so a rare spawn doesn't walk past you. Quest NPCs and mobs can each be tracked or not.
Points the way
Every step has its map position. With TomTom installed, Waystone sets the waypoint arrow for you.
Guides you can read
Every route is a plain text file, one step per line. Click any step in the guide window to jump there, or import a guide to try it out.
Tell your friends
If you like, Waystone announces your levels and finished guides in party chat, guild chat or /say. Each one can be switched off.

In game
How it works
- Install Waystone Core and Waystone Guide. The core holds the windows, settings and key bindings. The guide is the first module on top of it.
- Pick a route and play. The Next panel follows your quest log and moves on by itself when a step is done.
- Press a key when you need a target. F9 for the mob, F8 for the NPC. No hunting through crowds for the right name.
Core
Menu and settings, windows, key bindings, slash commands and help. Every module needs it.
Guide
The leveling guide: Next panel, guide window, targeting and alerts.
Coming next
Professions. The same step-by-step help, from skill 1 upward.
Coming next
Buffs. Who buffs what in your raid, and one key for the next buff to cast.
Each module is its own download and needs only the core. Install the ones you want.
Built with players
Routes get better when players report what they find. If you turn on recording, Waystone notes quest ids, NPC ids and map positions while you play. Report this step in the guide window, or /waystone share, turns that into a short string you paste on this site.
Ideas are welcome too: a faster route, a feature you miss. Reports and ideas are read, turned into guide changes, and every change is reviewed before it ships.
What is recorded
- Quest ids, NPC ids, map positions
- Never character or player names
- Nothing is sent anywhere by itself. Addons have no internet access, so you decide what to share.
- Off until you say yes. Waystone asks once, on first login.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. No subscription, no paid routes, no account.
Which game client does it work with?
WoW Forever. It is built and tested against that client.
Do I need other addons?
No. Waystone Core plus Waystone Guide is enough. TomTom adds the waypoint arrow and Questie adds quest data, if you already use them.
Is this based on another guide addon?
No. Waystone is its own addon, written from scratch. It is not based on similar addons, and no code or routes are taken from any other guide.
When can I download it?
When the first two routes, one per faction, are tested in game. It will be on Wago, and this page will link to it.
A step is wrong. What do I do?
Click "Report this step" in the guide window, copy the string it gives you, and paste it on the report page.
Keep it free
Waystone has no paid tier and never will. If it saved you an evening of alt-tabbing, a coffee helps keep the project free and alive.
