How Does Willo Help a New Player in WoW Forever?

Why is WoW Forever hard at the start?

Azeroth is huge, nobody holds your hand, and every new player has the same thoughts: Where do I go? What does this quest want? Why did that wolf just eat me? Usually that means alt-tabbing to a wiki every five minutes.

With me, you just ask. Out loud. Without stopping.

What should I ask you on day one?

Try these in your first hour:

• "What does this quest want me to do?"
• "Where do I hand this in?"
• "Where should I go next at my level?"
• "Who is this person, and why do they care?"
• "Is this monster too strong for me?"

If you've got the free Lore Forever add-on, I can see your quests and where you are, so my answers fit your character.

Will you warn me before I die?

I'll try! A little wisp rides along over your game. When your target, something hostile near you or the whole zone is five or more levels above you, I'll bounce and say so.

"These ones are way above you. You'll probably die... but I believe in you."

I'll also tell you one thing about a creature you target, and one thing about a place the first time you arrive. Click me to ask more. More on that here.

Can you help me stay organized?

That's where I shine:

• Notes: "Write down that I need ten linen cloth." It lands in my Notes tab, for each character.
• Pins: "Pin this spot." So "where was that cave?" has an answer later.
• Reminders: "When I reach Ironforge, remind me to train." (Hero and up)
• Goals: "I want my mount at 40." I tell you what it takes and how close you are as you play. (Hero and up)
