Questie Addon Guide — Download, Install, Setup & Settings

Questie is the essential quest helper addon for WoW Classic and TBC Classic Anniversary, designed to remove the guesswork from leveling. Vanilla and TBC quests were never built with modern quality-of-life in mind — objectives are vague, NPC locations are unmarked, and tracking turn-ins across multiple zones can quickly become a headache. Questie solves all of this by placing quest givers, objectives, and turn-in NPCs directly on your map and minimap.

In this guide, we’ll cover what Questie does, how to install and configure it, and how to get the most out of its tracking, map, and database features. 🗺️

What Is Questie?

Questie is a quest helper addon that adds available quests, objectives, and turn-in locations directly to your map and minimap. Instead of reading a quest description and guessing where to go, Questie marks the exact spot for quest givers, required mobs, gathering nodes, and turn-in NPCs.

It also enhances tooltips with extra quest-related information for you and your party, and includes a searchable database of quests, items, and NPCs. For completionists, Questie’s Journey tool tracks which quests you’ve finished and which ones remain in each zone — a huge help for anyone aiming for full zone completion in TBC Classic Anniversary. 📊

Because TBC Classic’s default UI offers very little quest guidance, Questie has become one of the most widely used addons for both new and returning players leveling through Outland.

FAQ
