Questie for WoW Forever: download, setup & missing quests
Get official Questie for WoW Forever, install the correct release and troubleshoot missing quest markers, hidden trackers or Lua errors. Updated October 29.
Does Questie work in WoW Forever?
Yes. The main Questie project supports the Forever client. It adds quest start points, objectives and turn-ins to your map, with a quest tracker and searchable quest history. You choose which quests to do next.
The latest packaged release checked on October 29 is Questie 12.3.1 with QuestieDB 1.0.9, published October 26. These numbers identify the addon and its database. Use the official project links below and check that the download supports the client you will play.
How to install Questie for Forever
Questie’s authors recommend an addon manager or their packaged GitHub release. In your manager, select your Forever installation and check the file’s supported game versions. A multi-client release can list another WoW version first.
For a manual installation, follow these steps. The project’s installation wiki uses older Classic paths: use the folder of the Forever client you actually launch, rather than copying its example path.
- Close the game and download the Questie ZIP from the release’s Assets list. Choose the packaged addon, not either Source code archive.
- Extract the ZIP and copy its supplied addon folders into your Forever client’s Interface/AddOns directory. Preserve the supplied dependencies and folder layout.
- Check for an extra outer folder: the addon’s files should be inside Interface/AddOns/Questie, not Interface/AddOns/Questie/Questie.
- Restart the game completely. At character selection, open AddOns and check that Questie and its supplied dependencies are enabled.
- In game, type /questie to open settings. Note your installed addon and database versions before investigating any problem.

Are Forever’s new quests still missing from Questie?
The September release warning is no longer the full picture. QuestieDB added Forever base data and Zephras Isle corrections on October 6, then refreshed the data in the October 12 release. October 23 brought further Forever quest and location corrections.
That does not establish complete coverage of every new quest. If one objective has no marker, read the quest text, check its prerequisites and compare your installed version with the current release. Keep the quest while investigating; a missing addon marker does not by itself mean the quest is unavailable.
Questie 12.2.0 also addressed quests arriving late in the Forever quest log and errors when clicking map icons during combat. Start with an update when your symptom matches a documented fix.
Questie not working: checks by symptom
These are troubleshooting checks, not a list of confirmed bugs in the latest release. Change one thing at a time so you can tell which change helped.
| What you see | What to check first |
|---|---|
| Questie is absent from the AddOns list | Confirm the client folder and extracted layout, then fully restart the game. |
| An error says Questie already exists | Check for duplicate Questie installations, including a separate development copy. Keep one intended release. |
| Questie loads but the tracker or map icons are hidden | Open /questie and check visibility settings. Another tracker may also be hiding or replacing the panel. |
| Only one quest lacks a marker | Check the quest name, objective and prerequisites, then the latest release notes and existing issue reports. |
| The problem appears only with other addons enabled | Temporarily disable other addons while retaining Questie’s required dependencies. Restore them one at a time to identify a conflict. |
How to report a reproducible Questie problem
Search the official issue tracker first. If there is no matching report, follow the project’s issue template and describe what you expected and what happened. Include the quest name or ID, zone and coordinates, character level, class and faction, client build, Questie version and QuestieDB version.
For a Lua error, the team asks for the complete message or a screenshot. Type /console scriptErrors 1 to show errors, reproduce the problem and capture the message. Type /console scriptErrors 0 afterwards to hide the error window again. Say whether the problem also occurs with other addons disabled.
Before collecting traces or resetting settings
If a maintainer asks for a trace or extra diagnostics, follow that current request and include the matching versions. You do not need to guess at a database fix or install an old beta tool just because a marker is missing.
The older Questie FAQ includes a settings-reset procedure that also deletes Journey history. Avoid starting with that step. Back up saved settings before any reset and check with the maintainers if you are unsure which files belong to your Forever installation.
Do you want map markers or a quest order to follow?
Questie helps you find quests while you choose your route. Wisp, our separate addon, provides an authored sequence with directions and objective progress. Wisp is not required to use Questie. If you are deciding between them or want both, our comparison explains their roles and the settings to check.

Rewritten October 29 from Questie’s official release history, project documentation and installation guide. The original September article’s missing-data warning has been replaced with the later release history. The installation wiki and FAQ use older Classic examples; client paths must match your Forever installation. Features and fixes are author-reported, not an in-game test by ForeverWisp. We make Wisp, a separate addon.
