Getting Started
Extract the release ZIP so the path ends in Interface/AddOns/CompanionsForever/CompanionsForever.toc. There is one addon folder. Do not put it inside another folder named after the ZIP, and do not rename it to match the longer display title.
Enable Companions Forever: Pet Battles & Adventures on your character. Restart WoW if it does not recognize a newly installed addon; use /reload after an ordinary update. Keep any unrelated addon named ForeverCompanions unchanged. Updates do not require deleting your saved data.
Use /cfpets or /companionsforever. The older /companions and /fcp aliases still work, but /cf is no longer ours because other addons use it.
- Buy a Traveler's Adoption Crate under Crates → Pet. The first living companion equips automatically.
- Open Camp. Clicking another portrait previews that pet; Equip chooses the one that travels and fights with you.
- Check health, food, and energy. The supplies at the bottom belong to the addon.
- Open Tower. Pick a style and press the crossed-swords Fight icon.
- Use the herb/heal control when needed. Hover it to see the available action and cost.
- After victory, collect any waiting rewards and check the next floor. The next floor is selected automatically; its battle does not begin automatically.
Feed, Rest/Wake, and Heal controls in Camp. Cropped from an earlier-build screenshot; current layout may differ.
Your pets, gear, tokens, collection discoveries, trainer progress, and unlocked features are saved. The initial tokens and supplies are a one-time starter bundle, not a reward for reloading. A pet's discovery and that individual pet are separate: the collection can remember a species you no longer own.
An entirely empty stable can use the free recovery adoption option in Crates → Pet. It gives one of three Common starter companions. A stable containing dead-pet memorials is not empty. Recovery pets cannot be traded, and their retirement value comes from training rather than repeatedly claiming a free level-1 pet.
Death is permanent for that individual. The collection entry remains. Check retirement before dismissing a memorial or another pet.
