Leatrix Maps is a lightweight map enhancement addon for World of Warcraft that does exactly what the default map should have always done — it lets you reveal the entire world map, show coordinates, display dungeon icons, resize and reposition the map, and much more. With over 34 million downloads on CurseForge, it’s one of the most downloaded quality-of-life addons available.

It supports every version of WoW including Retail, TBC Classic Anniversary, WotLK Classic (3.3.5), WoW Classic Era, and Pandaria Classic — all from a single addon project.

What Is Leatrix Maps?

The default WoW world map is frustrating in a few ways — it hides unexplored areas behind fog of war, doesn’t always show coordinates, and can’t be easily resized or repositioned. Leatrix Maps fixes all of that.

Every setting in the addon is completely optional. You enable only what you want and leave the rest off. Nothing is forced on you. This makes it one of the cleanest and most non-intrusive map addons available for any version of WoW.

Key Features

• ✅ Reveal the entire world map — removes fog of war across all zones
• ✅ Show X/Y coordinates on the world map and minimap
• ✅ Display dungeon and raid icons on the map with level ranges
• ✅ Scale and reposition the map freely
• ✅ Remove the map border for a cleaner look
• ✅ Prevent zoom from resetting every time you open the map
• ✅ Fade the map while moving (optional)
• ✅ Enhance the battlefield map for PvP zones
• ✅ Works on Retail, TBC Classic Anniversary, WotLK Classic, WoW Classic Era
• ✅ Compatible with ElvUI (with a minor setting adjustment)

How to Install Leatrix Maps

Option 1 — CurseForge App (Recommended)

1. Download and open the CurseForge App
2. Select your WoW version (Retail, TBC Classic, WotLK, Classic Era, etc.)
3. Search Leatrix Maps and click Install
4. Launch the game — the addon is ready

⚠️ Important for Classic players: All versions of Leatrix Maps (Retail, TBC Classic, WotLK, Classic Era) are now under one CurseForge project. If you previously used a separate “Leatrix Maps Classic” project, uninstall the old version and reinstall from the main project page to get continued updates.

Option 2 — Manual Install

1. Go to CurseForge and download Leatrix Maps
2. Extract the .zip file
3. Copy the Leatrix_Maps folder into your WoW AddOns directory:
   • TBC Classic: World of Warcraft\_classic_tbc_\Interface\AddOns\
   • WotLK Classic: World of Warcraft\_classic_\Interface\AddOns\
   • Classic Era: World of Warcraft\_classic_era_\Interface\AddOns\
   • Retail: World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\
4. At the character select screen, click AddOns and make sure Leatrix Maps is enabled

How to Set Up Leatrix Maps

Open the settings panel by typing /ltm in chat. You can also use /leamaps as an alternative command.

From here you’ll see all available options — each one can be toggled individually. Here’s what each main setting does:

🎯 Tip: Some settings have a small configuration button next to them inside the /ltm panel for additional sub-options — click those to fine-tune each feature.

Leatrix Maps for TBC Classic Anniversary & WotLK Classic (3.3.5)

Leatrix Maps is fully supported on TBC Classic Anniversary and WotLK Classic. The feature set is the same as Retail — map reveal, coordinates, dungeon icons, and scaling all work exactly the same way.

For WotLK Classic (3.3.5), all Northrend zones are supported including reveal data and dungeon icons for all Wrath dungeons and raids.

For TBC Classic Anniversary, the addon reveals all Outland zones and marks TBC dungeon/raid locations with correct level ranges.

⚠️ If you’re on Classic Era and previously had an older separate version of Leatrix Maps installed, you need to uninstall it completely and reinstall from the current unified CurseForge project to receive updates.

Leatrix Maps Not Working — How to Fix It

Map not revealing / fog of war still showing

• Open /ltm and make sure the Reveal map option is turned on
• Type /reload in chat after enabling it
• If you recently updated WoW, reinstall the addon — sometimes patches break reveal data until the addon updates

Coordinates not showing

• Open /ltm and enable Show coordinates
• If coordinates appear on the map but not the minimap, check if another addon (like Leatrix Plus) is handling minimap coordinates separately

Addon not loading at all / not in addon list

• Make sure you installed the correct version for your WoW client
• A common mistake is installing the Retail version on Classic — Leatrix Maps now includes a version check that will notify you in chat if this happens
• Enable Load Out of Date Addons at the character select screen if the addon shows as outdated

Map becoming unresponsive (ElvUI conflict)

• If you use ElvUI alongside Leatrix Maps, there can be a conflict that makes the map unresponsive
• Inside ElvUI settings, disable ElvUI’s Map module to let Leatrix Maps take full control
• Alternatively, in /ltm, try enabling the Use default map option

Map stuck off-screen after repositioning

• Type /ltm and look for a Reset position option, or disable and re-enable the reposition setting
• Type /reload after resetting

Pros and Cons

✅ Pros

• Extremely lightweight — very low memory and CPU usage
• All settings are optional — fully modular
• Single addon covers all WoW versions (no need for separate Classic/Retail installs)
• One of the most reliable and consistently updated map addons available

❌ Cons

• No minimap enhancement features — focused on world map only (use Leatrix Plus for minimap tweaks)
• ElvUI users may need extra setup to avoid conflicts
• The map reveal feature may feel like “cheating” to some Classic purists

Frequently Asked Questions

TomTom is the go-to navigation addon for World of Warcraft, available for Retail WoW, TBC Classic, WotLK Classic, and WoW Classic. Think of it as a GPS for Azeroth — it gives you a floating “crazy arrow” that points you toward any waypoint you set, plus a coordinate display on your map so you always know exactly where you are.

With over 81 million downloads on CurseForge, TomTom is one of the most essential quality-of-life addons any WoW player can have.

⬇️ Download TomTom on CurseForge⭐ View Source on GitHub

What Is TomTom Addon?

TomTom adds a directional arrow to your screen that guides you toward any coordinates you set — similar to a sat-nav system. When you’re following a leveling guide, hunting a rare mob, or farming a specific resource, TomTom tells you exactly which way to go and how far away your destination is.

It also puts your X/Y coordinates on the world map and minimap, which is incredibly useful when guide sites like Wowhead tell you “find it at 42, 67.”

Key Features

• ✅ Floating crazy-arrow that points toward your waypoint
• ✅ Draggable coordinate display (X/Y) with adjustable accuracy
• ✅ Player and cursor coordinates on the world map
• ✅ Set waypoints by clicking the world map directly
• ✅ Paste multiple waypoints at once with /ttpaste
• ✅ Corpse waypoint — shows you where you died
• ✅ Works with Wowhead /way coordinate format
• ✅ LDB support for panels like NinjaPanel

How to Install TomTom

Option 1 — CurseForge App (Easiest)

1. Download and install the CurseForge App
2. Select your WoW version (Retail, TBC Classic, WotLK, etc.)
3. Search TomTom and click Install

Option 2 — Manual Install

1. Download the latest file from CurseForge
2. Extract the zip file
3. Copy the TomTom folder into your WoW addons directory:
   • TBC Classic: World of Warcraft\_classic_tbc_\Interface\AddOns\
   • WotLK Classic: World of Warcraft\_classic_\Interface\AddOns\
   • Retail: World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\
4. Launch WoW, click AddOns at the character select screen, and make sure TomTom is enabled

How to Use TomTom — Setting Waypoints

Once installed, using TomTom is straightforward. There are three ways to set a waypoint:

Method 1 — Click the World Map
Open your world map and simply click anywhere on it. TomTom will immediately set a waypoint and point the arrow toward it.

Method 2 — Use the /way Command
Type /way X Y in chat to drop a waypoint at specific coordinates. For example:
/way 52 38 places a waypoint at position 52, 38 in your current zone.

You can also specify a zone:
/way Hellfire Peninsula 52 38 My Waypoint

Method 3 — Paste from Wowhead with /ttpaste
If you’re copying a list of coordinates from a guide, type /ttpaste to open a paste window where you can drop in multiple /way lines at once. TomTom queues them all up automatically.

TomTom Slash Commands

🎯 Tip: If another addon (like Carbonite or Cartographer) is stealing your /way command, use /tway instead — it’s TomTom’s dedicated alternative.

TomTom Not Working — How to Fix It

If TomTom isn’t behaving as expected, these are the most common fixes:

Arrow not showing

• Make sure a waypoint is actually set — the arrow only appears when there’s an active destination
• Type /way reset all then set a new waypoint
• Type /reload to refresh the UI

TomTom not showing up in addon list

• On the character select screen, click AddOns and check Load Out of Date Addons
• Make sure the addon files are in the correct folder for your WoW version

Coordinates not appearing on map

• Open /tomtom settings and make sure coordinate display is enabled
• Type /reload after changing settings

Arrow stuck or waypoint won’t clear

• Type /way reset all in chat, then /reload
• If using TomTom alongside a leveling guide addon, the guide addon may be controlling the waypoint — check its settings

Conflict with other addons

• If Carbonite or another navigation addon is installed, they may fight over the /way command — use /tway for TomTom specifically

Pros and Cons

✅ Pros

• Extremely lightweight — almost zero performance impact
• Works perfectly with Wowhead coordinate format out of the box
• Reliable and updated for every WoW version
• Simple to use even for new players

❌ Cons

• No built-in quest tracking — needs a quest addon alongside it
• The crazy arrow disappears when no waypoint is set (some find this confusing at first)
• Very basic visuals — no fancy UI (though that’s intentional)

Frequently Asked Questions

The RareScanner addon is the go-to tool for hunting rare NPCs, treasures, and world events in World of Warcraft. With over 126 million downloads on CurseForge, it’s one of the most trusted addons in the game — and for good reason. The moment a rare spawns anywhere near your minimap, RareScanner fires an alert with a portrait, a map marker, and everything that creature can drop.

It works across Retail WoW (Midnight / The War Within), WoW Classic Era, TBC Classic, and Mists of Pandaria Classic — each version has its own dedicated download.

What Is RareScanner?

RareScanner is a World of Warcraft addon built around three core tools: a real-time alert system, an interactive world map overlay, and a rare NPC explorer. Together they let you find and track anything worth hunting — mounts, battle pets, collectibles, reputation sources, and zone achievements — without constantly alt-tabbing to Wowhead.

The addon was created by maqjav and has been actively maintained for over a decade. It supports every major version of WoW currently running.

Supported WoW Versions

Make sure you download the correct file for your version. Installing the wrong one will cause the addon to fail silently.

Key Features of RareScanner

Real-Time Alerts

When a tracked rare NPC, treasure, or event appears near your minimap, RareScanner pops up a large button in the center of your screen. The alert includes the entity’s portrait, its name, and a preview of its loot table — so you know instantly whether it’s worth dropping everything to go kill it.

You can customize the alert sound, size, position, and which types of entities trigger it.

World Map Overlay

RareScanner adds icons to your world map for every rare NPC, treasure chest, and event it tracks. Hover over any icon to see a full tooltip with loot, spawn locations, and guidance markers to help you reach it. Starting with Dragonflight, the addon also integrates with WoW’s reputation filter — select a faction on the map and RareScanner highlights every rare and container that grants reputation with that faction.

Rare NPC Explorer

The explorer is where RareScanner really pulls ahead of simpler alternatives. Instead of manually checking every icon on the world map, the explorer lets you filter the entire rare database by what you’re actually missing. Want to find every uncollected mount in Zereth Mortis? Filter by mount, filter by zone, done. It’s the fastest way to build a farming route for your collection.

Custom NPC Tracking

RareScanner isn’t limited to rare-quality NPCs. You can add any NPC to the tracking list — including normal elites, rares you want to ignore, or NPCs from custom import lists shared by the community. This is especially useful in zones like Hallowfall and The Ringing Deeps, where certain treasures spawn constantly and need to be filtered out to avoid alert fatigue.

How to Download and Install RareScanner

🛠️ RareScanner can be installed manually or through a CurseForge-compatible addon manager. Manual install is straightforward.

1. Click the CurseForge download button above.
2. On the CurseForge page, make sure you select the correct file for your WoW version (Retail, MoP Classic, Classic Era, or TBC Classic).
3. Extract the downloaded .zip file.
4. Copy the RareScanner folder into your WoW AddOns directory:
Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\
Mac: /Applications/World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/
5. Launch WoW, open the AddOns list on the character select screen, and enable RareScanner.

For Classic versions, replace _retail_ in the path with _classic_ or _classic_era_ depending on your version.

How to Configure RareScanner

⚡ Type /rarescanner or /rs in chat to open the options panel. You can also find it under Interface > AddOn Settings.

General Settings

Map Settings

You can toggle which icon types appear on the world map, adjust icon size, and enable or disable spawn location markers and guidance icons. If your map is getting cluttered, hiding icons for already-collected loot or common treasures cleans it up considerably.

Profiles

RareScanner supports multiple saved profiles. You can create, copy, and reset profiles from the options panel — useful if you play multiple characters with different tracking priorities, or want to maintain separate setups for farming versus casual play.

RareScanner vs. SilverDragon — Which One Should You Use?

SilverDragon has a slight edge in raw detection speed. RareScanner wins on everything else — loot previews, the explorer, map integration, and reputation filtering. For most players, especially collectors and mount hunters, RareScanner is the better all-in-one choice.

Pros and Cons

✅ Pros:
– Covers rares, treasures, and events in one addon
– Loot preview in alert — know what dropped before you even move
– Rare explorer makes collection farming much faster
– Supports Retail, MoP Classic, Classic Era, and TBC Classic
– Reputation source integration on the world map (Retail)
– Actively maintained with frequent database updates

❌ Cons:
– Slightly larger file size than lightweight alternatives
– Some zones with high treasure density (Hallowfall, The Ringing Deeps) require manual filtering to avoid alert spam
– The explorer and map can feel overwhelming on first use
– Classic versions have fewer features than Retail

Frequently Asked Questions

Final Thoughts

RareScanner is one of those addons that quietly becomes essential. Once you’re used to hearing that alert sound and seeing the loot preview pop up mid-flight, playing without it feels like navigating blind. Whether you’re a mount collector methodically clearing old content or someone just trying not to miss a rare while questing, it earns its place in any addon setup.
