pfQuest Reforged

A quest helper and database browser for WotLK 3.3.5a — with a complete Wrath of the Lich King database and a modernized interface.

Accept a quest and the relevant NPCs, monsters, and objects are automatically pinned on your world map and minimap, with a smooth navigation arrow guiding you to the nearest objective. Open the database browser (/db) to look up any unit, item, object, or quest in the game.

Built on pfQuest (Shagu, GPLv3) via the pfQuest-wotlk client port (txtsd). Reforged adds:

• A full WotLK database — the inherited data set ended at Outland; the Reforged overlay adds 2,487 Northrend-era quests, 2,465 NPCs, 372 objects, 1,001 items, and all Northrend zones (data converted from the Questie project's WotLK database). Total coverage: 9,086 quests, verified 1:1 against Questie.
• Server-accurate spawn data — where the public data sets are wrong or simply empty, coordinates are recovered from an AzerothCore acore_world database, which is what 3.3.5a servers actually run. World coordinates are converted to map positions with per-zone transforms fitted from NPCs present in both data sets, and a zone is skipped entirely if its fit is not clean — no guessed coordinates ship. Every batch is cross-checked against Questie where the two overlap. AzerothCore is preferred; Questie fills the gaps. Spawn tooltips show the server's real respawn timer rather than a guess.
• Minimap nodes in Northrend — upstream pfQuest ships map dimensions for vanilla and TBC only, and silently skips the minimap for any zone without them, so Northrend had world-map dots but never minimap dots. The Northrend rectangles are derived from the same AzerothCore data and validated against the 57 zones pfQuest already had (median error 0.09%).
• A modernized interface — flat dark theme with a single teal accent, tracker progress bars, a resizable database browser, map/minimap node-size sliders, and a clean smoothly-rotating navigation arrow.
• ~50% lower memory footprint — spawn coordinates and item drop tables (the bulk of the loaded database) are packed into compact strings at load and decoded lazily only when the map/search/browser needs them, taking total addon memory from roughly 90 MB to 43 MB in-game with no change to behavior.
• Smarter quest availability — the filter now honors exclusive quests, chain progression, and all-of-N prerequisites (relations sourced from Questie), so fewer quests you're already locked out of show up on the map.
• A hardened map-pin lifecycle — quest icons no longer vanish from the map/minimap on quest progress (several server-quirk races fixed and regression-tested in an offline harness).
• GW2 UI (WotLK Reforged) integration — right-click a quest in the GW2 tracker to navigate with the pfQuest arrow, sort the tracker by nearest objective, and get matching skins on the world map. Fully optional; pfQuest Reforged runs standalone.

Install

1. Download the latest release zip.
2. Extract into Interface\AddOns\ — the folder is named pfQuest-Reforged (existing pfQuest or pfQuest-wotlk folder names keep working, but remove old copies first so only one is installed).
3. Log in. /db <search> opens the browser, /pfquest lists all commands, /db query syncs your completed quests from the server.

Notes

• WotLK 3.3.5a clients only (Interface 30300). For Vanilla or TBC use upstream pfQuest.
• The WotLK overlay ships English names; other locales fall back to English for Northrend content. Converted drop sources carry no drop-rate percentages.
• Changelog: CHANGES-REFORGED.md.

• Shagu — pfQuest, the engine and the vanilla/TBC databases (GPLv3; this fork remains GPLv3)
• txtsd — the original WotLK client port
• Questie — the WotLK quest/spawn data the Reforged overlay was converted from, and the cross-check every AzerothCore-sourced batch is validated against
• AzerothCore — the acore_world schema and data model the server-accurate spawn corrections are recovered from (AGPLv3 project; only coordinate data is used here, no code)
