NextAdventure
A World of Warcraft addon

Every step. Every quest. Every ✕.

NextAdventure quietly records your adventure while you play: where you walked, where you died, what you slew, looted and turned in. Then it plays it all back on the map as a dotted red trail, like Breath of the Wild's Hero's Path.

Level 24! Defias Pillager +1,350 XP

Your whole journey, on one map

···

The trail

Every road you took, drawn as you travelled. Play, pause, speed up, scrub.

✕

Where you died

A red X for each death: who or what killed you, and how you got back up.

⚔

Kills & honor

Elites, rares, bosses and honorable kills, right where they happened.

◆

Loot & rolls

Blues and epics that glow, and every need, greed and pass.

!

Quests & XP

Turn-ins with floating "+1,350 XP", and an XP chart that follows the playback.

★

Level-ups

A burst of gold above your hero the moment you ding.

How it works

  1. Install the addon

    Copy the NextAdventure folder into your AddOns folder. It records only: it never clicks, loots, rolls or casts for you.

  2. Play

    Quest, explore, die a little. NextAdventure notes it all in the background.

  3. Log out or /reload

    That is when WoW writes your NextAdventure.lua file to disk.

  4. Open it here

    Drop the file on the Open page and watch your story. Nothing is uploaded.

  1. Put the NextAdventure folder in World of Warcraft\_classic_era_\Interface\AddOns\ (your client folder, e.g. _classic_era_ or _forever_).
  2. At the character screen, click AddOns and make sure NextAdventure is ticked.
  3. Play. When you're done, log out (or type /reload).
  4. Your journey file is here:
World of Warcraft\_classic_era_\WTF\Account\<ACCOUNT>\SavedVariables\NextAdventure.lua

Use your own client folder in place of _classic_era_ (for example _classic_era_ or _forever_). <ACCOUNT> is the folder named after your account.

WoW writes this file when you log out or type /reload. Until then, your latest session isn't in it.

Tip (Windows): in File Explorer, click the address bar and paste %ProgramFiles(x86)%\World of Warcraft to jump to your WoW folder.
