Your Journey in Lore Forever: How the Add-on Records Your Adventure

What does the journey record?

While Remember my journey is on (it is by default), the add-on writes a quick note each time something happens:

• New places, and how you got there: on foot, by flight, boat, hearthstone or portal.
• Quests accepted, turned in and abandoned.
• People you meet for the first time, first kills, rares you spot, bosses defeated.
• Levels, deaths, new mounts, new spells and profession milestones.
• Reputation changes, books you read, your hearthstone, battlegrounds.
• Rare loot, and your screenshots with what you were doing when you took them.

It never stores other players' names.

How do I see my journey?

Type /lore journey, or open the panel and pick the Road bookmark. The Road shows your zones as chapters, in the order you reached them. Each chapter has two seals to earn: every place found, and every story heard.

You'll also find:

• Your journey in numbers: steps walked, foes slain, deaths, days played and more. Type /played to add your time played.
• A Map of where things happened, which opens large.
• "A week ago today" and "a year ago today" memories.
• /lore quests for every quest you've completed, by zone. Click one to read its quest text again.

Why are my newest moments missing?

The game writes the journey to disk only when you log out or /reload. Press Update my journey on the journey page to save now. It reloads your interface for a few seconds.

Does it slow down my game?

Hardly at all. It's event-driven: a note takes well under a millisecond, and nothing runs every frame. An hour of play adds about 5 to 10 KB. The journey keeps your newest 3,600 moments and the map trail of your last 5 sessions, so a year of play stays under 1 MB per character.

How do I make a profile page?

Two ways:

1. By hand: on the journey page, click Copy my journey record, press Ctrl+C, and paste it on your loreforeverwow.com account page. Your profile is ready in seconds.
2. With me: sign in to Willo, and I send your journey after each /reload or logout, so your profile keeps itself up to date. That's Keep my profile up to date, on once you're connected.

Your profile is private until you make it public, and you can delete it any time. It shows your character's level, quests done, places, people met, foes, bosses, dungeons and the zones you crossed, with a story of your road so far.

Pictures can join it too: see the picture book.

What can Willo do with my journey?

I read it to remember where you've been. Ask me "What did I do yesterday?" or "Where did I set my hearthstone?" and I'll answer from your own road. I can only see what the game has saved, so /reload first if it's fresh. What the add-on adds for me, and what I keep about you.

Type /lore journey, or open the panel and pick the Road bookmark.

How do I update my Lore Forever profile?

Copy my journey record and paste it on your account page, or sign in to Willo, who sends it after each /reload or logout.

Can I turn the journey off?

Yes. Untick Remember my journey in Lore Forever's Options.
