Which WoW versions each add-on works on, and which other add-ons work together with Fennick or can clash.
Which WoW versions each add-on works on
Legend: ✅ Supported · 🛠 Planned (not released, not tested in game) · ⛔ Not supported (no plans)
| Add-on | Released | WoW Forever (1.60.1) | Classic Era Hardcore (1.15.9) | Other Classic (SoD, Anniversary, TBC, MoP) / Retail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fennick's Beast Core (required) | 1.6.1 | ✅ Supported | 🛠 Planned | ⛔ |
| Guidepost | 4.5.4 | ✅ Supported | 🛠 Planned | ⛔ |
| Cartographer | 1.1.1 | ✅ Supported | 🛠 Planned | ⛔ |
| Trailmarks | 1.1.1 | ✅ Supported | 🛠 Planned | ⛔ |
| Reputation | 1.2.3 | ✅ Supported | 🛠 Planned | ⛔ |
| Rest | 1.2.4 | ✅ Supported | ⛔ Forever only | ⛔ |
| Merchant's Favor | 1.2.3 | ✅ Supported | ⛔ Forever only | ⛔ |
| Fox Trials (playtesters) | 1.6.0 | ✅ Supported | ⛔ Forever only | ⛔ |
- Forever launches Nov 4. Every add-on is built for it today.
- Classic Era Hardcore: support is in progress for the five add-ons marked 🛠. They don't load on 1.15.9 yet. Hardcore needs its own Classic Era route, spawn and reputation data, because a wrong step can cost you your character. We won't mark it ✅ until it has been tested in game.
- Rest and Merchant's Favor stay on Forever. Classic has few ways to rest other than inns, and it has no Merchant's Favor at all. Fox Trials, the playtester checklist, is Forever only too.
- If you're not sure, the add-on list on your character select screen shows "Out of date" for any version we don't support. Please don't use "Load out of date AddOns" to force one on.
Other add-ons: what works together and what can clash
This list is based on what our code actually touches. "Handled" means our code already checks for that add-on. Anything not tested in game says so.
Works together (handled in code)
| Add-on | What happens |
|---|---|
| TomTom | Guidepost and Beast Core use TomTom's arrow when it's installed (setting: Use TomTom when installed). They only add or remove their own waypoints, never yours, and never touch TomTom during combat. Without TomTom, the built-in arrow is used. You never get two arrows. |
| Questie | Optional (off by default: Use Questie data when installed). Guidepost reads Questie's data for quest-hub steps, class filters and translated NPC names. It never changes Questie, and it doesn't read it during combat. |
| ElvUI | Beast Core detects ElvUI and can match its font size (Look → ElvUI (detected)). It only reads ElvUI; it never changes it. |
| Minimap button add-ons (LibDBIcon buttons) | Cartographer can optionally gather other add-ons' minimap buttons. It's off unless you turn it on. |
| Add-ons that ask for the minimap shape | Cartographer reports SQUARE while its square minimap is on, and passes the question on to any other add-on that answers it, so buttons from other add-ons line up. |
Possible clashes (by what they touch)
| Area | Our add-on | What we do | What can clash | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimap shape and size | Cartographer | Restyles Blizzard's minimap (square by default), only out of combat. Turning it off restores Blizzard's. | Other minimap restylers (SexyMap, ElvUI/other UI suites' minimaps) | Use one. Turn off Cartographer minimap in settings, or the other add-on's minimap module. Pending A SexyMap check isn't in the code yet; the default when SexyMap is loaded is still being decided. |
| World map and the M key | Cartographer | Opens its own map on your world-map key (override binding, changed only out of combat). Blizzard's map stays one click away. | World map add-ons (Leatrix Maps, Mapster-style), other add-ons that rebind M | Turn off map key in Cartographer to keep M for Blizzard's map, or use the other add-on on Blizzard's map. |
| World and minimap pins | Trailmarks | Draws its pins on Blizzard's world map canvas and the minimap. No windows except settings. | Pin add-ons (HandyNotes, GatherMate2, Questie, RareScanner) | They normally stack fine. If it's crowded, use the icon filters. Untested with each add-on. |
| Waypoint arrow | Beast Core / Guidepost | One arrow; uses TomTom if present. | Other arrow add-ons (guide add-ons with their own arrow) | Turn off one arrow. |
| Quest guidance | Guidepost | Its own step list; can read Questie. | Other leveling guides (RestedXP, Follow The Arrow) | Run one guide at a time. Auto-accept/turn-in in both will fight. |
| Unit tooltips | Beast Core | Adds monster info lines using Blizzard's safe tooltip hooks. Never replaces the tooltip. | Tooltip add-ons (TacoTip, idTip, Leatrix Plus tooltip options) | Should be fine. Lines just add up. Untested. |
| Reputation bar | Reputation | Doesn't replace Blizzard's reputation or XP bar. | XP/rep bar replacers | No known clash. |
| Moving windows (Edit Mode) | Beast Core | Supports Blizzard Edit Mode (new in Classic 1.15.9) through LibEditMode. | MoveAny, UI suites that move frames | Move our frames with one tool, not both. Classic Edit Mode untested. |
| Settings | Guidepost / Beast Core | Normal Blizzard Settings / Interface Options page. | none known | — |
