Addon Spotlight: QuestsFu

In previous weeks we've looked at Lightheaded, which helps you understand how to do your quests, and Fubar, which can present all sorts of information concisely. Today's addon is a Fubar plugin that can work with Lightheaded to show you everything you need to know about your quests without having to click a lot of buttons or obscure your screen with your entire quest log.QuestsFu presents you with a handy quest list in two ways. First of all, you can hover over its space on your Fubar and it'll give you a collapsable list of all the quests you're working on in a tooltip. In addition, you can have QuestsFu put up its own little quest tracker to replace Blizzard's standard tracker. The advantage to either of these color-coded quest lists is that you can just click on any of the quests themselves to open up a little window with all the quest information in it (pictured on the right). This is great for when you're in the middle of a quest and you don't want to stop moving, but you still forgot where exactly you were supposed to go or what the quest rewards are.
If you have Lightheaded installed too, then you can arrange an additional Lightheaded comments popup on the other side of your screen, and get hints about your quest without opening the big old quest log.
There are other quest managers out there, but this is my favorite because it feels so light weight, looks so attractive, works together with other addons so nicely, and also has such nice features, above and beyond what I've already mentioned:
- Edit the questlog on the fly, adding or removing quests with ease.
- Display quest levels, difficulty, zones, and objectives clearly.
- Put objective info into monster and item tooltips
- Show the quest level before you accept the quest
- Show other party members' completion of quest objectives (if they have the addon too)
- Optionally (I have this turned off) notify party members in /p chat when you complete a quest.

Now where's the Titan equivalent? I have too many Titan-specific plug-ins to switch over.

I love this, and I love that you can turn on voice emotes for when you have finished a quest or even part of a quest. They change the emotes from time to time but right now mine says "job done" when i've finished a quest and "more work" when i've finished part of it (i.e. quest is kill 10 pigs and 10 wolves, i've got the wolves done but not the pigs yet). Fun stuff and it's all in the orc peon voices which make my husband and I laugh.

RogueJedi86,
like what? i'd bet money that if there's a titan plugin for something, there's a fubar equivalent.
Fubar >>>>>>> Titan

If you can't/won't use this, use lightheaded. I read about that in these pages, and my clear rate for quests skyrocketed. Wowhead ftw!

Fishing Buddy has a Titan Plugin, but not a FuBar PlugIn. Also Titan Speed, that does accurately measure my movement speed. Instead of just listing all my Titan Plug-ins, I'll link my ui.worldofwar account favorites: http://wowui.incgamers.com/users.php?id=306717

Well actually, Fishingbuddy has FuBar support built-in. No need for another addon like the FB_Titan or FB_InfoBar that comes with the download.
