This is from one of my guildies who 2boxes, I tried it out this weekend and it GREATLY increased my efficiency questing. I almost always wowhead quests unless I know the exact coords, with this you can find the coords nicely in game, add a waypoint, and travel there.

JasonQuest also syncs quest progress between all your accounts, so knowing that one didn't pick up the item is important. That part is slightly flakey, but if it's NOT showing, verify you got it, I haven't had a false positive yet.

I thought this was quite a nice idea. Someone has imported all the quest data from wowhead, made a few mods that talk together and put waypoints on your map and arrows above your head to point you in the right direction. There are several mods involved, get them in the usual places:

JasonQuest
LightHeaded
DoubleWide
TomTom

I use Lightheaded and DoubleWide myself (always remember to disable the Lightheaded mods you aren't using, so if you're 1-20 alliance, disable 20-80 alliance and all of the horde ones, they take up valuable resources).

But for Quests I love love LOVE my QuestFu Fubar plugin. It's the greatest. I'll check out Tomtom -- I've heard it's good.

using cartographer and the 2boxer addon thing so i get a tell from my alts when they accept a quest and they will autoaccept quests from myself and npcs upon talking to them.

So far I only screwed up once because I was not paying attentioned and forgot to loot an item on one alt for a quest because it failed and I ddint see it lol.

The quest data is all load on demand, it takes up nearly zero resources just by being enabled, unless you try and access the quests, you wont feel a hit.

Well, when I had them all enabled my PerformanceFu gave me VERY different numbers from when I had them all disabled except for the main addon and the alliance 1-20 quests. Just saying. =) YMMV.

Probably due to taint... :D

I use the same as above with the exception of nQuestLog, and though I have doublewide I don't use my normal quest log ever anyway. :D
