What Is the Lore Forever Picture Book?

Willo

The picture book is your adventure's photo album! Take a journey picture in WoW Forever, and I match it to the moment you took it, so it shows up in your journey with where you were, when and at what level. It needs me, Willo, plus the free Lore Forever add-on, and your own screenshots are never moved or changed.

How does the picture book work?

Three friends pass a picture along:

The add-on notes every screenshot you take, with what you were doing then: where you were, your target, your quests.
The game saves the picture in its Screenshots folder, as always.
I spot the new picture, match it to that moment, and hand it back into the game.

Then, in the add-on's journey page, that moment becomes Picture in place, with the picture on its card. Click it to open it larger, with where, when and at what level you took it, and a caption.

Your screenshots stay exactly where they are. I make my own copies and never change, move or delete yours.

How do I take a journey picture?

Any of these:

Type /lore picture.
Give Take a journey picture a key under Keys in Lore Forever's Options.
Ctrl-click the Lore Forever book by your minimap.

A journey picture hides your interface for a moment, so you get the world without your bars and chat. In combat the interface can't be hidden, so that picture keeps it. Turn that off with Hide the interface when taking a journey picture in Options.

A normal Print Screen screenshot goes into your journey too, just with your interface in it.

Can it take pictures by itself?

Yes. With the picture book on, Options has Automatic journey pictures: a picture when you level up, defeat a boss, or first reach a zone or dungeon. At most ten a day, and never in combat or on a flight. Untick it to take pictures only yourself.

Why don't my new pictures show up yet?

The game only saves your journey when you /reload or log out. Until then, a new picture waits without its moment, and joins it after your next save. Type /reload and look again.

How do I turn it on or off?

It's on by default. In my window, open Settings › Game, updates & help › Your pictures and tick or untick Picture book. Turning it off takes your pictures out of the game's journey; your screenshots stay as they are.

Can pictures go on my profile?

Only if you say so. Once your journey is connected to your profile, Put journey pictures on my profile by themselves shares the clean ones, taken with the journey picture key out of combat. It's off until you turn it on. Other pictures go on only when you put them there. If your profile's picture book fills up, new pictures stay on your computer.

Fun one to try: found a view you love? Snap a journey picture, then tell me "Pin this spot." The pin goes on your journey map, so "where was that waterfall?" has an answer later.
