Description


The purpose of this addon is twofold. Firstly, to help create a database of quests that count towards the Loremaster achievements. Secondly, it displays that information in-game in the quest description.

On quest completion, it records whether or not the quest counts towards one of the Loremaster achievements. The saved variables can then be uploaded to a website in order to build up a list of quests that count towards the achievements (and those that don't).

The more people upload their data, the more accurate the addon gets. By enabling debug mode (/lm debug), you can see how many positive and negative submissions had been made at the last update. Currently, a number of quests have no data, and of the remainder, many have only one or two submissions. This is not enough to give an fully accurate picture, more are needed!

EveryQuest integration


Version 2.0 has major new functionality. If you have both EveryQuest and Loremaster installed, you can use the following functions to enhance them both:

/lm eqignore - Sets all quests that have less positive responses than negative ones - ie that either definitely don't count, or probably don't count - to 'Ignored' status in EveryQuest.

/lm equnignore - Clears the ignore list previously created with eqignore.

What this means is that, if you have run a quest scan and you run eqignore, the EQ window will only show either quests that probably do count, or that have no data, thus giving you a checklist of quests to complete. Pretty cool, eh?

Note that it doesn't ignore quests with no data. If you do those quests, please send me your data so those quests can be ignored or added to the list of Loremaster quests.

In addition, Kandarz has now added Loremaster support to Everyquest. Quests that count for Loremaster will have an [L] next to them in the EveryQuest window, and the tooltip will contain the Loremaster text from the quest log window. Big thanks to him for adding this!

Submitting data


To help, please upload your saved variables file to this website:

The file to upload can be found at
{WoW folder}/WTF/Account/{Accountname}/SavedVariables/loremaster.lua

You could also download a little app I wrote called LoremasterSync which will upload your files and also download the latest data file to the addon.

Notes


Please leave a comment here if you wish to help out with the website or have any issues with the addon.

This is my first addon, and I used EveryQuest for a number of ideas on how to do things. Kandarz has written a great addon there, you should check it out.
