Summary

FastQuest Classic is an addon to enhance quest log displaying, quest tracking, and notification. This is an alternative to heavy duty add-ons like MonkeyQuest, Quest-I-On, etc. The difference is that the code is much smaller and faster, since it uses Blizzard's build-in components enhancing and improving them. But it does not have full set of features those addons offer, so try them and decide what is best for you!

History of FastQuest Classic

FastQuest Classic is originally called "FastQuest" and is written by Vashen. Vashen had left WoW after he released the great FastQuest 2.11. Since then, FastQuest has some minor udpated by some fans including the WoWBox* Alfred. While I am trying to contact Vashen and also Alfred to seek for some other minor update for FastQuest, I did not get any response from them at that time. Then I decide to picked it up and try to fixed some minor issues, I then register an continued addon on Curse. Since that, FastQuest is released with version number like 2.11.1, 2.11.2, 2.11.3, etc.

When the TBC was going to be released in US and Europe, Vashen was back and he decided to continue the implementation. Vashen started the new FastQuest with version number 3.x and was supported with Titan and Fubar. I saw Vashen's messages and actions, I was thinking it's about the time to turn back this great addon to Vashen and also the credits.

However, there are some players still love the classic and standalone FastQuest, including me. So I decide to rename the addon name to "FastQuest Classic" and started from version 2.11.207.

Features

• Enhances Blizzard's Quest WatchFrame! Automatically add current quests to WatchFrame and removes them when they are completed. This option is ON by default and can be toggled by /fq autoadd.
• Easy quest tracking. You can use RightClick or Shift+click quest names in QuestLog window to Add/Remove quests manually. (/fq clear will remove all quest from the tracker)
• Adds formatting options for Shift+LeftClick / Crtl+LeftClick / Ctrl+RightClick into chat use /fq format to cycle through them. Allows "[10+] QuestName", "[10] QuestName (Elite)", etc.
• Use Ctrl+RightClick on the quest to send not only quest title but also quest objective to chat frame, it makes things easier when you are going to tell people what quest you are investigating without typing quest detail by your self.
• Quests in WatchFrame are displayed in color that is based on difficulty. There are now over 20 shades of colors from bright green to bright red that are used to denote quest and monster difficulty. Quest that would be come trivial next level is highlighted giving you chance to complete it while it still yields exp.
• Automatically notify your party/guild/raid/near-by people of your quest progress (example: Thistle Boar Slain 5/7), this option is off by default and can be toggled by /fq autonotify
• Notify your party/guild/raid or near-by people for your level-up or new area/zone discovered is configurable. Sometimes you may want to enable this feature so that your partners may now your recent status when you all are looking for some place together or s/he is farming together with you for your leveling-up.
• Allows you to insert quest objectives of the selected quest into the chat. Open the chatbox and right click on the quest name. (check the screenshot above.) Control click on the quest name also lists objectives but in the shorter form, the way they are displayed in quest tracker.
• Allows WatchFrame to be draged anywhere on the screen (use "/fq unlock" to enable draging and you can "/fq lock" to lock it in place).
• Automatically complete turn-in quests such as the once in AV that you have to turn in one by one. When you right click on the NPC to turn in quest, FQ will click "Continue" and "Complete Quest" buttons for you, but will stop to let you pick reward if choice is given. The down side is that you will not be able to read what NPC's replies to you when you turn in your quest, but that's only to those who actually read it :) This feature is off by default and can be toggled by /fq autocomplete
• Configurable options are now supported with slash command "/fq options", or simply click on the minimap icon or Quest Log's "FQ" button.
