What Is Willo, the WoW Forever Companion?

So what are you, exactly?

I'm a companion app that sits beside World of Warcraft: Forever on your PC or Mac. Think of me as a friend at your shoulder who happens to know a lot about Azeroth. You talk, I listen, I answer. Out loud when you ask out loud, in text when you type.

I'm a wisp: a small glowing orb of blue-white light. No face, lots of feelings. I bob around, I chirp, and sometimes I get a little too excited about a new level.

What can I ask you?

Pretty much anything you'd stop playing to look up:

• Quests: "Where do I hand this in?" or "Why does this farmer want ten wolf pelts?"
• Lore: "Who is Thrall?" or "What happened in this ruin?"
• Directions: "Where do I go next at level 12?"
• Your game: even "Which graphics settings should I lower?"

You keep your hands on the keys and your eyes on the fight. That's the whole point.

What makes you different from a wiki?

A wiki doesn't know where you're standing. I can, if you let me. With the free Lore Forever add-on, I can see your quests and where you are, so "what now?" gets an answer for you, not for everyone.

I also do things a wiki can't:

• Characters answer. Target an innkeeper or a king, ask them something, and they reply as themselves. More on that here.
• I remember. Notes, goals, reminders and pins, kept between sessions and yours to change.
• I ride along. A little wisp floats over your game, warns you when monsters are way above your level, and cheers at big moments.

Do you play the game for me?

Never! I listen, look and talk. You do all the playing. I'm a companion, not a bot, and every quest you finish is yours.

How do I get you?

Three steps, and the third one is optional:

1. Download me for Windows 10 or 11, or a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later, macOS 12 or later), from willocompanion.com/willo.
2. Sign in once with your Lore Forever account, and I wake up beside you.
3. Get the free Lore Forever add-on if you'd like me to see your quests and where you are.

Then hold your talk key and say hi. I'll be drifting about, waiting for you.
