Addon

• Skip ahead as far as you like, even into the next guide, to see what's coming: each Back retraces one Next, back to where you were.

Addon

• Fixed a "script ran too long" error when going back after skipping several steps.
• New in the options: window opacity, from fully clear to solid (80% by default); the text stays solid, and the border and lines fade with it.
• Resize the guide window by dragging its bottom-right corner, or set its width and height in the options. A taller window lists more steps coming up; Reset puts back the original size and position.
• The guide window no longer jumps as it grows and shrinks between steps: its top-left corner stays where you put it.
• The guide window's title shows your step number first (80/105), then the guide's name.
• Lock the guide window and arrow so they can't be moved or resized by accident: /boost lock and /boost unlock, or the switch in the options. A locked arrow lets clicks pass through it.

Addon

• After you die on purpose and take the spirit healer's resurrection, that step counts as done: going back over it shows it crossed out instead of asking you to die again.
• Back works again after you skip a hunt by mistake while the guide is showing a closer step: it returns to the hunt and keeps showing it until you're done or press Next.
• Back right after an accidental Next takes you straight back to the step you skipped, even if you've already done the next one (automation taking the next quest at the same NPC).
• A "die on purpose" step is done once you've reached the spirit healer it was sending you to, so walking back instead no longer leaves it stuck on screen.
• Skipping a step no longer loses an earlier one that was still waiting for your level: it comes back as soon as you reach that level.

Route planner and optimizer

• Quests that need only a few items or kills get small hunting areas, so a route picks them up close by instead of planning a separate trip (Break a Few Eggs on the Echo Isles).
• Hunting steps say "While you're here" for quests in your log whose mobs or items are right there, even when the route finishes them later.
• A follow-up quest is no longer routed when the quest before it starts somewhere no source knows yet (Rezlak doesn't offer Stormy Potential until A Simmering Storm is done).

Addon

• When you reach a hunting area or the spot the arrow points to, the arrow glows green for a few seconds, then hides while you're there and comes back when you walk out.
• The guide window is easier to read: the step you're heading to is in bigger letters, and only the next two steps are listed under Coming up.
• When a hunt waits for you to reach its level, the guide no longer sends you to hand in that quest (or take its follow-up) before you've done it.
• A chat line reminds you to send your play data (/boost export) at levels 5 and 10, then every level after that, and says how many /boost feedback notes are waiting. /boost remind off turns it off.
• A hunting step can cover only part of a quest: it lists just those objectives and finishes when they're done, so the guide can send you for a quest's easy half early and its harder half later.
• BoostedXP has an options panel: type /boost, or open Esc > Options > AddOns > BoostedXP. Turn the window, arrow, quest automation, closer-step suggestions, dungeon steps and export reminders on or off, change the text size, pick the guide for your character, or put the window back where it starts. /boost show and /boost hide show and hide the guide window (/boost alone used to).
• Quests you skipped but still hold ("Still open") are listed under the current step, not above it.
• When a quest starts from a locked chest, a step first tells you to kill the mob that drops its key and loot it; it's done once the key is in your bags.

Route planner and optimizer

• Hunting steps list the spots where their mobs gather, so the arrow leads to the nearest one and knows when you're among them, even when the mobs are spread over a whole zone.
• Quests whose objectives lie far apart or differ a lot in level are split: each part is hunted when you can do it, with the walk between them fully counted.
• A quest that starts from an item a mob drops is picked up while you hunt that mob anyway, and a locked chest now counts the mob you must kill for its key.
• Quests players were offered without an earlier delivery are no longer held back waiting for one.

Routes

• Orc and Troll 1-10: Carry Your Weight is gone (it isn't in the game); The Admiral's Orders is picked up from Benedict's Chest on the Vanquish the Betrayers trip; This Fruit Could Bite Back is in, done with the first half of Encroachment.
• Dwarf and Gnome 1-10: Bitter Rivals now says to buy a Thunder Ale from Innkeeper Belm and give it to Jarven Thunderbrew before turning in at the barrel.

Route planner and optimizer

• Routes only use the hearthstone when it saves more than about a minute over walking: no more hearthing back from a short walk away.
• Boats follow Forever's routes: the Menethil ship sails Menethil, Southshore, Auberdine and back to Menethil, and the new Tanaris - Riverglades boat is in.

Routes

• New guides for levels 25-30, Horde and Alliance (drafts: no one has played them yet). Horde 25-30 includes Forever's new quests in Mulgore; both sides include Excavation Site: Wetlands.

Routes

• Dwarf and Gnome start: Secure the Mountain now runs in its real order (Senir, then Gretchen, then the Grizzled Den for Cornelius, then back to Senir), Camping 101: Cooking waits until The Great Outdoors is handed in, and Rime's Wrath is expected after Finding Warmth (not yet confirmed in game).
• The Great Outdoors allows about a minute of sitting by the campfire, as players measured.

Routes

• Routes re-planned from the latest play data: see the Routes tab for what changed.

Addon

• /boost dungeons lists every dungeon, Forever's new ones included (City of Dalaran, The Drowned City, Krol'dok Stronghold, Alcaz Prison, Blackmaw Hold, Shaper's Terrace), ready for the routes that reach them.

Route planner and optimizer

• Quests done inside one of Forever's new dungeons stay out of the routes until the dungeon itself can be part of one, instead of sending you looking for them outside.
• New quests' hunting spots point at each target's own location where it's known, instead of one shared area for the whole quest.

Routes

• Dungeon steps no longer guess how long a run takes: the routes get you to the entrance with the quests and leave the run to you (skip it and the guide adds the grinding instead).
• When a route grinds, the step now says what to kill, at what level, and about how long: an easy camp near your level.

Addon

• New: /boost feedback <message> notes what's wrong at the step you're on (an NPC somewhere else, a missing quest). It keeps the step and where you stood, and goes out with your next /boost export.
• The Draft label moved to a footer at the bottom of the guide window, with a reminder to send your play data (/boost export) or a note (/boost feedback).
• When the NPC a step sends you to doesn't offer the quest, the step tells you, so you can skip it with > instead of waiting. It's also reported with your next /boost export, so the route gets fixed.
• New dungeon switches: /boost dungeon sfk off and /boost dungeon stocks off.

Route planner and optimizer

• New Forever quests wait for the quests before them in their chain (Mining Consultant comes after Rascally Rodents), from ForeverChanges' quest chains.
• The route search tries a quest only where your level allows it and hands it in soon after, so it finds quests it used to pass over (Sarkoth in the Valley of Trials: 560 XP a minute from Gornek).
• Shadowfang Keep, Blackfathom Deeps and the Stockades can be part of a route at their levels, from a fuller list of every dungeon's quests (Shadowfang Keep is the first to fit a route: Horde 20-25).
• The quest data from the fan sites is refreshed every day (new quests, and every page at least monthly), so routes follow Forever's changes.

Addon

• The Deadmines can be turned off like the other dungeons (/boost dungeon dm off).

Routes

• New: Alliance guides for levels 1-25, from every starting area (Human, Dwarf and Gnome, Night Elf), meeting up in Stormwind at level 10. They're drafts until players send in their play data.
• Walking times follow the ground: routes go around mountains, through tunnels and up lifts instead of straight over the top.
• Orc and Troll: Wayward Weapons is back in the route, done while you wake the Lazy Peons.

Addon

• /boost export now records which NPC gave you each quest: most were missing before, and they help place new quests in the routes.

Addon

• Next moves on without marking the step done: going back shows it again, still to do.
• Back shows earlier steps; one you've already done (turned in, gathered) is shown crossed out, and your progress stays put.
• Steps for quests you've already finished or turned in are passed over on their own.
• Training steps finish when you train at your class trainer (a profession trainer doesn't count).
• A draft route says how much of it players have played ("about 31% of this route has been played"); from 80% on it's no longer a draft.
• The time remaining counts down with every kill and pickup, not only when a step finishes.
• An "On the way" hint shows only for quests you have, so it doesn't send you after objectives you can't get yet.
• Your place in the guide is kept by step, so a re-planned route doesn't move you to a different step.
• Near your class trainer with new spells waiting, the guide says so ("Train now"), wherever the route expected your level.
• A step no longer names a quest you've already finished, and its own objectives show before the "On the way" list.

Route planner and optimizer

• The route search runs four times longer and finds better routes: it no longer leaves out quests that only pay off when done together.
• Item pickups players record add to hand-placed positions instead of being ignored.
• During the beta, routes are re-published whenever one gets faster at all.
• Quests that share a place (Thazz'ril's Pick and the Burning Blade Medallion in one cave) are done together or not at all, and the place's extra time is counted once.
• The Adventurer waits for the Burning Blade Medallion to be turned in, as in the game.
• A quest waits until you're within 2 levels of it (a level 8 quest with level 7-8 mobs isn't sent to a level 5 character), and its hunting step waits for that level in the guide too.
• The Valley of Trials is finished before the route leaves it: no carrying the Burning Blade Medallion out and hearthing back.
• Quests are picked up when the route walks past their giver (A Peon's Burden on the way out).
• New Forever escort quests are left out like the Classic ones (Lost in the Shadows).
• Trips to your class trainer are planned: a training level reached and not trained within two levels costs time, so routes go train when it's worth the detour (Levels 15-20 and 20-25 had no training at all).
• The Tauren and Undead starts are finished before their routes leave them, like the Valley of Trials.
• Routes never send a character to the other faction's NPCs, and planned trainer trips go to the capital cities' trainers.
• Fights at low levels are planned slower, as measured on a warrior (the slowest class to level), so time estimates hold for warriors and other classes finish early.

Routes

• Orc and Troll 1-10: Wayward Weapons is taken at the start and its weapons picked up while you hunt Cutting Teeth's boars.
• Every route re-planned under these rules: predicted times are longer and closer to real play (Orc and Troll 1-10: about 2 hr 20 min), and Levels 15-25 now fly to Thunder Bluff to train.

Addon

• Training steps open at the level they teach, and quests with a level requirement wait for your level: a player behind the planned pace is no longer sent ahead.
• Quests you still hold after skipping their steps are listed in the window under "Still open", with what's left to do.
• A hunting step can hold a class-only quest: Vile Familiars is hunted with the quests around it, and other classes don't see it.

Route planner and optimizer

• Every hunting session is one step, whatever the class filters of its quests.
• Training is planned from level 2, and a class letter goes to the trainer while the trainer is close by.
• Routes are re-published only when one gets at least 5% faster, so small reshuffles don't move players around.
• Calibration learns from the play data players send in.

Routes

• Orc and Troll 1-10: Sarkoth is done with the scorpids, Thazz'ril's Pick is in, and the Valley of Trials is finished before Razor Hill.
• Undead 1-12 and levels 20-25 re-planned: about 9% and 16% faster.

Addon

• First release on CurseForge and Wago: a step-by-step guide window with a waypoint arrow and quest automation.
• Flex suggests a clearly closer step you can do right now, and the window shows the time left to the guide's top level.
• Dungeon runs can be switched off (/boost dungeons off), and class quests have guides of their own (/boost class).

Route planner and optimizer

• Routes are planned from how long every quest, kill and walk takes, and corrected by the play data players send in.
• Dungeon runs (Ragefire Chasm, Wailing Caverns), quests that start from items, and quests a delivery opens are planned.

Routes

• Horde levels 1-25: Orc and Troll, Tauren and Undead starts, then one route for every race from level 10. All are drafts until played.
