WoW and the Modern Mods

Category: WoW

I’m headfirst back into World of Warcraft. Part of the reason I’m enjoying myself as much as I am this time around is that it’s a highly augmented experience. Y’see, there are these mod things … a new way to look at the world of Azeroth and all that. I’m shvitzing.

Here’s what’s been making me happy:

  • ClearFont – OMGAwesomez. This is one mod that I’m going to make sure to always keep updated. I never realized, until I saw an alternative, how eyestabby the default WoW font is.
  • OneBag – All of your bag slots in one big frame. It sounds stupid, but it’s actually really nice not having to play with seperate bags.
  • Discord Action Bars – Completely customizable, resizable bars. If you’ve seen an interface for WoW and gone ‘Hey, that looks neat’, it’s probably because of this mod.
  • Auctioneer – You use the mod to scan the AH, and it figures out appropriate prices for stuff … to put on the AH. Very useful.
  • MonkeyQuest – Highly detailed Quest window. Not a requirement, and I’m not sure I’m going to keep it.
  • MobInfo – Details on monsters, such as class, hit points, damage output, and such. Usefultastic.
  • Atlas – Better maps.
  • Gatherer – Places nodes on your map for gatherable resources, like ores and herbs.

    DAB is good, no question, but it’s also a massive memory hog. You may or may not care. For my part, I use Bartender2.

    I’d also recommend FuBar. It’s a bar panel mod like the famous Titan Panel, but without being godawful and inflexible. One of the plugins for it is a reasonably good alternative to MonkqyQuest, without leaving a big quest frame on your screen all the time: QuestsFu.
