What Should I Ask Willo First? 20 Great Questions
Willo
Start with whatever you'd stop playing to look up! "What does this quest want?", "Is this mob too strong for me?" and "Who is Thrall?" are perfect first questions. Then try the ones only I can do: "Pin this spot", "Write down that I need ten linen cloth", or, on Champion and up or in your first days' trial, target a character and ask them something with Their key.

How do I ask?
Hold your talk key (F6 by default), say your question, let go. I answer out loud. Or type in my window and I answer in text. Several of these work best with the free Lore Forever add-on and Live game info on in my Settings › Basics, so I can see where you are and what you're tracking.
Questions about what you're doing right now
- "What does this quest want?" I check the quest you're tracking.
- "Where do I hand this in?"
- "Is this mob too strong for me?" I'll warn you anyway when something is five or more levels above you.
- "Where's the inn?"
- "Who is this?" with someone targeted. If nobody is, I'll say so rather than guess.
- "Where do I go next at level 12?" Swap in your own level.
- "How much gold do I have?" With Live game info on, I read your purse as it is now.
Questions about the story
- "Who is Thrall?" Or any name you just heard. Here's his story.
- "Why does this farmer want ten wolf pelts?" Every chore has a reason.
- "What happened in this ruin?"
- "Why do the Horde and Alliance fight?" A big one, and a good read.
- "Tell me about this place." Great the first time you ride into a new zone.
Questions about your own adventure
The add-on records your journey, and I read it.
- "What did I do yesterday?"
- "When did I first reach Stranglethorn?" If it isn't in your journey, I'll say so plainly.
- "Where did I set my hearthstone?"
Things to ask me to do
- "Write down that I need ten linen cloth." It goes in my Notes tab, for that character. Every plan.
- "Pin this spot." It goes on your journey map, so "where was that cave?" has an answer later. Every plan.
- "Remind me to check my auction in fifteen minutes." Or "when I reach Ironforge, remind me to train." Hero and up.
- "I want my mount at 40." I say what it takes, and how close you are as you play. Hero and up.
And one for someone else
- Target a character, hold Their key (F7, unless your game already uses it) and ask: "What's troubling this village?" They answer as themselves, and remember you next time. Champion and up, or in your first days' trial. How it works.
Any tips for asking?
- Be specific. "Where's the Westfall flight master?" beats "where do I go?"
- Ask me to keep it short if you're mid-fight. You can set how I talk on every plan.
- I can be wrong. I'm usually right, but double-check anything that matters, like a rare drop.
- Free plan: 50 answers a day, back at midnight UTC. See the plans.
