WHDB (Comments And Maps)

WHDB is a quest info database that integrates into your quest log, provides location and drop info for monsters and item objectives and quest comments.

WHDB can plot notes with objective locations into the map if you are using one of these addons: [OPTIONAL]

  • Cartographer (recomended)
  • Metamap
  • MapNotes.
    Also it try to plot comments coordinates if found.

From version 2.0, WHDB can automatically plot relevant objectives from all quest on map. (read changelog for more info)

The quest database provides comments, locations and drop info from Wowhead using the comments database from qData project (also in cursegaming) and two more databases created by me that contains npc locations and item drops.

Also, WHDB can integrate with [OPTIONAL]:

  • Extended Quest Log 3 (EQL3)
  • QuestGuru
  • DoubleWide (recomended)
    I will add support for other addons (that not use the default quest log frame) in future versions. Note that this addon is mainly designed for the original blizzard's quest log.

WHDB provides too some commandline commands to search info for quests you don't have.

Memory usage was improved from version 2.0, with quest level filtering the amount of memory used to store all the databases is about 1011mb, without it the full database use 18mb. This can be improved by tunning the level filtering parameters but the default values work very well. (for more info read the changelog)

Use /whdb help to get info about the slash commands available.

Note: Cartographer, Metamap or MapNotes are OPTIONAL. EQL3, QuestGuru or DoubleWide are supported but NOT NEEDED AT ALL. qData is included in the package.

Note2: WHDB stands for Wow Head Data Base.

Donations would be appreciated, thank you!
