XenQuest v0.2.13-beta — Quest Target Swords & Native Learning

This update introduces gold sword quest-target markers, an experimental Native Quest Learning system, improved quest difficulty indicators, and several navigation and compatibility improvements.

XenQuest continues evolving into a more intelligent, customisable questing companion for World of Warcraft: Forever.

---

⚔️ New — Quest Target Swords

Finding the right enemies for your quests is now easier than ever.

• Added gold sword indicators above the nameplates of enemies relevant to your active quest objectives.
• Sword markers automatically disappear when their associated objectives are completed.
• Added adjustable marker sizing.
• Added options to display markers above all eligible enemies or only the closest eligible enemy when distance information is available.
• Integrated markers with the new Native Quest Learning system.
• Improved marker handling in combat and instances.

Quest target markers are purely visual and never automatically target or interact with enemies.

🧠 New — Native Quest Learning (Experimental)

XenQuest can now learn certain quest relationships directly from information provided by the WoW Forever client.

• Detects supported quest-related NPC information from native game tooltips.
• Learns relationships between enemies and active quest objectives.
• Automatically improves supported objective descriptions using learned information.
• Saves discoveries locally for reuse across sessions.
• Integrates learned NPC relationships with gold sword quest-target markers.
• Avoids guessing item drop sources when reliable information is unavailable.

Example:
Before:

After:

Enable Native Learning with:

/xq learn on

Additional commands:

• /xq learn off — Disable learning.
• /xq learn status — View learning status.
• /xq learn target — Inspect the current target for supported quest information.

Note: Native Learning is experimental. Discoveries are stored locally and are not currently shared between players.

🎯 Improved — Quest Difficulty & Elite Identification

• Quest levels now follow your selected XenQuest accent theme.
• Quest levels turn red when a quest is five or more levels above your character.
  
• Added compact (E) indicators for supported elite quests.
• Hovering an elite quest displays a tooltip recommending a party.
  

These changes make difficult and group-oriented quests easier to identify without cluttering the tracker.

🧭 Improved — Navigation

• Added automatic corpse navigation when a valid corpse location is available.
• Quest navigation resumes after resurrection.
• Preserved the movable, isometric waypoint arrow.
• Improved navigation handling during gameplay transitions.

🔧 Fixes & Compatibility

• Improved protection against restricted NPC information and secret-value errors.
• Improved quest-target marker compatibility in instances and combat.
• Updated native tooltip diagnostics for more accurate testing.
• Preserved existing quest tracker functionality, including:
  • Automatic zone grouping.
  • Expandable quest sections.
  • Objective progress bars.
  • Quest completion animations.
  • Quest item shortcuts.
  • Scrollable quest tracking.
  • Custom fonts and accent themes.

📦 Native-Only Quest Data

This version introduces a native-only data approach.

• Removed bundled QuestieDB-derived datasets from the public release.
• Preserved independently verified quest guidance.
• Introduced local learning as a new source of quest intelligence.
• Reduced reliance on externally sourced quest data.

Because this release does not ship a comprehensive imported NPC database, some guidance and quest-target markers become available only as XenQuest learns supported relationships during gameplay.

⚠️ Known Limitations

• Native Learning currently focuses on supported NPC-to-quest relationships.
• Learning from world objects, such as ground crates, is not yet supported.
• Some quest tooltip information may be restricted by the game client.
• Closest-only markers depend on available distance information.
• Learned data is stored locally and is not synchronised between addon installations.

These systems will continue to evolve in future updates.

XenQuest v0.2.12-beta — Intelligent Quest Guidance & Quality of Life

XenQuest takes a major step beyond basic quest tracking!

This update introduces Intelligent Objective Guidance, a redesigned scrolling experience for larger quest logs, improved mouse interactions and several quality-of-life fixes.

Our goal remains simple: make questing in World of Warcraft cleaner, smarter and more intuitive.

---

✨ What's New

📜 Intelligent Objective Guidance

XenQuest can now provide clearer, more useful instructions for supported quest objectives.

Instead of displaying:

Iron Pike — 0/5

XenQuest can identify possible creatures associated with the required item and explain where to obtain it.

New capabilities include:

• Improved descriptions for supported kill, collection and interaction objectives.
• Automatic identification of creature and item relationships.
• Support for quests with multiple possible item-drop sources.
• Offline guidance information, with no internet connection required during gameplay.
• Preservation of live objective counters and progress bars.
• Automatic fallback to Blizzard's original descriptions when reliable additional information is unavailable.

🗃️ Expanded WoW Forever Quest Database

Our new guidance system processes a substantially larger amount of quest information.

• 5,179 quests analysed from the available Forever source database.
• 1,577 quests with enhanced objective guidance candidates.
• 4,535 quests with additional source-objective reference information.
• Improved support for Forever-specific quests and corrections.
• Quest ID and title matching to prevent incorrect guidance being applied to unrelated quests.

Hovering over supported quest titles can now display additional objective reference information.

Coverage figures represent database-generated candidates, not individually verified quest instructions. Some modified or custom Forever quests may differ from the source data.

📜 Scrollable Quest Tracker

Large quest logs are now much easier to manage.

• Added mouse-wheel scrolling through the quest tracker.
• Introduced a minimalist scrollbar.
• Scrollbar automatically appears when quests exceed the visible area.
• Added proportional scrollbar sizing based on the amount of content.
• Added draggable scrollbar support.
• Corrected inverted scrollbar movement.
• Improved scrolling when hovering over quest titles and objective rows.

The tracker maintains its configured dimensions without requiring players to collapse every quest to make room.

🖱️ Improved Quest Interactions

Quest interactions are now consistent across completed and incomplete quests.

• Left-click a quest: Open its entry in Blizzard's quest log.
• Right-click a quest: Expand or collapse its objectives.
• Left-click a quest marker: Enable or disable navigation for that quest.
• Mouse wheel: Scroll through the quest list.

Improved right-mouse camera pass-through on supported non-interactive tracker areas.

---

🔧 Fixes & Improvements

Tracker Positioning

• Fixed the tracker shifting position when minimised.
• Improved position restoration after /reload.
• Removed the need to unlock and relock the tracker to correct its position.

Action Bar Compatibility

• Improved positioning when Blizzard's additional right-side action bars are enabled.
• Automatically offsets the tracker to avoid overlapping visible action bars.
• Restores saved positioning when those bars are disabled.

Objective Display

• Fixed longer objective counters such as 10/10 wrapping onto additional lines.
• Improved progress-bar and counter alignment.
• Preserved completed objective animations and automatic collapsing.
• Maintained readable wrapping for longer guidance descriptions.

---

🎨 Existing Features Preserved

All established XenQuest functionality remains intact, including:

• Warm Gold, Icy Blue and Custom themes.
• Independent tracker and navigation colour customisation.
• Automatic quest grouping by zone.
• Manual zone expansion and collapsing.
• Smooth 64-frame isometric navigation.
• Standalone draggable navigation arrow.
• Quest completion effects.
• Usable quest-item shortcuts.
• Timed quest support.
• Optional Blizzard quest tracker replacement.

The experimental Garrick Padfoot skull-marker prototype is still under development and is not included in this release.
