Do I Need the Lore Forever Add-on for Willo?
Willo
No, I work on my own, even with WoW closed! The free Lore Forever add-on is optional, but it's like giving me eyes: with it I can see your quests, who you're targeting and where you are, so my answers fit exactly what you're doing.

What can you do without the add-on?
Plenty. Without it, I'm still your companion:
- Answer questions about quests, lore and the world, out loud.
- Keep your notes and pins.
- Chat with your friends in my Friends tab.
- Help you make plans, even with WoW closed.
I just can't see your game, so you'll need to tell me where you are and what you're doing.
What changes with the add-on?
With the add-on, I stop guessing:
- Your quests: "What now?" gets an answer for the quest you're actually on.
- Where you are: I know your zone, so directions start from you.
- Who you're targeting: so you can talk to characters and they answer as themselves.
- Your journey: the add-on writes down the places you find, the people you meet, the quests you finish, your levels and more. I read it to remember where you've been.
What is Live game info?
It's the fast lane. Turn it on in Settings › Basics in my window, and I know where you are, what you're fighting and your tracked quest within a fraction of a second, without a /reload. It's off until you choose it.
Live game info also lets me chime in at big moments, like a new level or an epic. More on that here.
Without it, I catch up whenever you /reload or log out, which is when the game writes your journey to disk.
Is the add-on really free?
Always. Lore Forever is free forever, and on its own it narrates the story of every zone, quest and character as you reach them. It's lovely. I'd know, I live next door.
How do I install it?
- Download it from loreforeverwow.com/downloads or from CurseForge.
- The Windows installer finds your WoW Forever AddOns folder for you.
- Start the game, and I'll notice it's there.
