Back Seat Quester

After disabling carbonite quest due to its apparent memory leaks (or so it would seem at least) when i used it for multiboxing, I found that I really like the way my QuestsFu plugin for fubar shows the progress of my party members.
In its quest tracker, it also shows the objective completion of all (at least nearby) party members on the same quests.
QuestAnnouncer
QuestHelper sets a nice waypoint to your nearest quest completion objective and shows objectives on your in-game map, too. Uses a lot of memory, so if your system is overtaxed as is, it might give you issues. ;)
I've never used one until now, since I know all the quests by heart, that is until I reach the outlands. Friend got me into one called "QuestHelper" along with another I can't remember the name of, but it places a red arrow on your screen and points in the direction you need to go, how far away it is and how long it will take to get there. It really helped since I normally still have to lookup the quests while in the outlands.
Also tells you the order to do them to be as fast as possible.
It's not necessarily not the fastest way, that's for sure - but it's indeed helpful if you're totally clueless about the quests.Quote:

Trouble is, to "know" about your whole party, you need QuestHelper running in each WoW, and QH is one of the biggest Addons, both in terms of memory and CPU utilisation... 5 copies on 1 PC is not to be recommended!Quote:

I would use QH on the main and then a.n.other, smaller addon to keep track of the other 4 without having to move over to their windows, which is exactly what BackSeatQuester does for you :)
another vote for BackSetQuester here. I love it.
A fair point about size, but when was the last time you ran a quest on your main that you didn't also have on your alts? IMO, that's rare enough to be a non-issue. I only run it on my main. :PQuote:

Cartographer is the addon you're probably looking for.Quote:

I use it together with Questhelper and works great,
It was kinda annoying that it was sending me off to do other people's quests whenever I joined a raid tho :D
Great point about not using it on the slaves tho,
but since I usually do some quests involving drops in stages,
i'ld like it to send me back to the place as soon as I get near it again.
So BackSeatQuester it is I guess ;)
Thanks for the replies folks. I was using QuestFu when I wrote the OP, but I'll give the others mentioned a shot. Back Seat Quester looks fabulous.
One thing I would recommend is Lightheaded. This addon gives detailed notes on all quests in a box attached to your quest log, which are all the forum replies people have given to quests - advice, where to go, details about drops and mobs etc. With Cartographer, all the notes have clicky locs you can use to instantly create waypoints.
One addon I would love to have is something to tell me when one of my chars gets out of range (so I know its no longer on follow). The number of times I leave a char behind and have to run him to catch up is a pain.
For tracking alts I use quest announce, but then again, I only have one other character to keep track of. For quest help (waypoints, etc) There is no other mod than Carbonite. Anything else is a waste of time.
Really! I reckon Quest Helper saves me loads of time :)Quote:

I use nQuestLog. It's pretty lightweight, and is mostly just an on-screen quest tracking minion. I love it because it shows completion for the rest of my chars (ie: Kadone 5/10, Kadtwo 2/10, Kadthree 10/10). I can just mouseover the quest minion to see which alts still need what for quests.
I use tomtom + lightheaded for questing, but after reading some of these descriptions, I think i'm going to have to check out some of the alternatives.
I've used both Carbonite Quest and QuestHelper, but for me both of those have turned out to be huge memory drains, so I dont use them anymore.
My combination of JasonQuest and QuestsFu gives me the tracking I need, and if I dont know where to go I usually find that in Lightheaded (with TomTom), or if all else fails I'll get MobMap to show it for me on the map.
QuestHelper I run to track quests in tooltips (I love being able to see WHO has how much of what, lol) I often turn it on and off depending on if I'm questing... Carbonite I run on my main for the wonderful map system... but I still run cartographer/questhelper anyway, lol.
I picked up QuestHelper last night and really liked it. It saves me the trouble of having to open the quest info up in lightheaded and click the coordinates. Right now i'm enjoying the route builder but as previously stated its not 100% accurate as to your best path to follow. Beyond the little flashing I get sometimes on the map and minimap its a great plugin.
I got sick of the flashing, as sometimes in large zones like the barrens and ashenvale it'll WIG OUT... so I just used /qh perf 10% to make it so it only updates 1/10 of the time it did, and now it just click's back and forth like a pendulum instead of like a metronome on crack lol.
