Current Wowcraft build: 3.3.3.
Sanna's not dead! I had a temp job that kind of ate my life for a bit. But sometimes you need a break, even from Wowcraft.
Today I'm going to make a brief little post about QuestGuru (Curse | Wowi).
Back like six months ago (or more, idrk), one of the big selling points I had for Overachiever was that it would allow you to track more than one achievement on your screen at once; also, it would let you move the achievement tracker around on your screen. Then Blizz changed the stuff about the in-game achievement/quest tracker, and allowed you to track multiple achievements, but then they shoved it in with the in-game quest tracker and then removed the ability to move it around.
Or so I thought.
QuestGuru takes your achievement tracking frame and your quest tracking frame and move them wherever you want on your screen, either independently of each other or as one unit, and in the quest frame, you can minimize one zone's worth of quests while you work on another. It also reskins your quest log to be a bit more... minimalistic? might be the right word. But I didn't screenshot that. (It has some pretty neat options tho, tracking completed quests and abandoned quests... and yes, it does work with Lightheaded.)
QuestGuru also has options for announcing certain steps of quest completion to party chat, which is, in my not-entirely-humble opinion, really freakin' necessary for doing Tourney dailies in a group. It keeps you from having to nag your groupmates about how close to done they are, "how many more scouts do you need? How many more berserkers?" Instead, it helpfully informs your groupmates, 'yes I'm done with commanders, let's get out of this miserable place.' ( You will probably want to edit this option as soon as you install QuestGuru, you'll want to head into QuestGuru options > QG Announcer, and make sure your preferred options are checked or unchecked. )
QuestGuru also communicates with other players who also use QuestGuru. I don't think it's anything as invasive as what Questhelper does, but it's useful stuff. Who's on a quest with you, and, I think, how much they've gotten done.
Also, what I've done to my quest tracker, with the colors there, that's in QuestGuru options > QG Tracker > Colorize objective progress. You can also choose the colors that signify "not done at all" to "done". It's pretty neat. Or you can just turn that off and have it be gray.
For a long time I resisted having an addon for my quest log, but now that I've found QuestGuru (ty pir!), it's on my Must-Have list.
Then again, nearly all my addons are on my Must-Have list. So make of that what you will.
