Questie in WoW Forever: The Official Version
The Questie team released its first stable Forever version, 12.0.1, in September and has kept updating since launch. On November 8, 2026 the latest is Questie 12.6.4 (November 7) for the Forever 1.60.1 client, Interface 16001. Get it from the official Questie project on CurseForge; earlier unofficial "Questie Forever" packages were not made by the Questie team.
Questie now ships in two parts. Questie itself is one package for every client, including Forever. Its data lives in QuestieDB, which has a separate Forever file (QuestieDB 1.0.13, November 8). You need both.
How to Install Questie and QuestieDB in WoW Forever
With the CurseForge app
- Update the CurseForge app; Forever needs version 1.324 or later to show up.
- Open World of Warcraft and switch the game version to Forever.
- Search for Questie and install it, then search for QuestieDB and install it too.
- Restart the game and make sure both are ticked on the AddOns list at character select.
By hand
Download the release zip of each (not the GitHub source zip), unzip, and put both folders straight into the Forever AddOns folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_forever_\Interface\AddOns\Questie
C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_forever_\Interface\AddOns\QuestieDBOn a Mac the folder is /Applications/World of Warcraft/_forever_/Interface/AddOns. Never put them in _classic_ or _retail_. Our addon install guide covers the folder and loading problems in more detail.
What Questie Shows in WoW Forever
| Map and minimap markers | Quest givers, objectives and turn-ins on both maps. |
|---|---|
| Quest tracker | Tracks quests as you take them; focus one to fade the rest. |
| Tooltips | Mouse over a mob, item or object to see which quest needs it, and party members' progress. |
| Quests by Zone | Lists each zone's quests, split into completed and available. |
| My Journey and Advanced Search | Your quest history, and a search of the Questie database. |
Type /questie to open its settings, or Shift-click the Questie minimap button.
Questie and New Forever Quests: What the Database Covers
Questie's Forever data starts from the Classic Era database, moved onto Forever's maps. Classic quests are well covered. New Forever quests are different: each one, with its prerequisites and class or race limits, has to be found and entered by hand, and the maintainers say that work will take a while.
- Zephras Isle, Riverglades, the Darkspear Islands and Shen'dralas are mapped, but not every new quest in them is in yet.
- Ruins of Lordaeron and the Hall of Thanes are recognized; their quests are not fully covered.
- QuestieDB updates often after launch; 1.0.13 fixed the Cozy Sleeping Bag chain.
For the new content, our pages fill the gap: every dungeon lists its quests and where to pick them up, the Secrets guides map hidden quest chains, and every coordinate links to a map pin.
Questie Not Working in WoW Forever: Fixes
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Questie says the database is missing | Delete the old QuestieDB folder and install the Forever QuestieDB file. The folder must contain QuestieDB_Forever.toc. |
| No icons on the map | Check /questie under General and Icons, and the Available Quests filter on the Questie minimap button. Version 12.6.4 fixed one case where that menu hid every marker. |
| Map icons are faded | A focused quest fades the others. Clear the focus in the Questie tracker. |
| Quest areas vanished after removing Questie | Open the world map filter (top right) and tick Quest Objectives again. |
| Lua errors after an update | Update both Questie and QuestieDB together. To report a bug, turn on /console scriptErrors 1 and note both version numbers and the quest ID. |
| Frame drops in a group | Grouping with other Questie users can stutter on quest progress in 12.6.4. The Questie team is working on it; update when a new version appears. |
Questie vs RestedXP, Guidelime and the WoW Handbook Addon
Questie tells you where a quest is. Route addons tell you what to do next. Many players run Questie alongside one of them.
| Addon | Cost | Best at |
|---|---|---|
| Questie | Free | Where every quest is: givers, objectives, turn-ins |
| RestedXP Guide | Addon free; full Forever routes paid | What to do next, step by step |
| Guidelime | Free | Step-by-step routes and a route editor |
| WoW Handbook Addon | Free | Dungeon quests with their chains, trainers and spells by level |
The WoW Handbook addon covers the Forever dungeon quests that Questie is still filling in. See every recommended addon on the addons page.
Questie Common Questions
Does Questie work in WoW Forever?
Yes. The Questie team publishes an official Forever version on CurseForge, built for the Forever 1.60.1 client (Interface 16001). On November 8, 2026 the latest was Questie 12.6.4 with QuestieDB 1.0.13.
Do I need QuestieDB for Questie in WoW Forever?
Yes. Questie and QuestieDB are separate downloads now. Questie draws the map icons and tracker; QuestieDB holds the quests, NPCs, items and coordinates. Install the Forever file of both, or Questie reports a missing database.
Why does Questie show quests I cannot pick up?
The Forever quest data is still being filled in. Many new Forever quests, their prerequisites and their class or race limits are entered by hand, so the map can show a quest you cannot take yet. The maintainers collect fixes through the QuestieTrace addon; no setting hides every wrong icon.
How do I make Questie show fewer icons?
Type /questie, open Icons and turn off quest objective icons to keep only the game's own quest areas, or lower the icon limit under Advanced. If icons look faded, clear the focused quest in the Questie tracker.
Is Questie free?
Yes. Questie is free and open source under the GPLv3 license. Route addons such as RestedXP charge for their full Forever routes; Questie does not.
Where is the Questie folder in WoW Forever?
Both folders go straight into the Forever AddOns folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_forever_\Interface\AddOns\Questie and C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_forever_\Interface\AddOns\QuestieDB on Windows, or the same two folders under /Applications/World of Warcraft/_forever_/Interface/AddOns on a Mac.
