ForeverScout
A small, read-only addon that records how you level: quests, XP, where things are and how long each one took. Your logs replace our estimates with real numbers.
Free and open source. Works with or without Questie. The download is on GitHub; a CurseForge listing is coming.

What it records
Recorded
- Quests accepted, turned in and abandoned, with the NPC and your position
- XP gained and where it came from: quest, kill (mob and level) or other
- Objective progress, like "Mottled Boar slain: 3/10"
- Items you loot (green or better, or any gear) and which NPC or chest dropped them, so the BIS planner knows where Forever's new items come from
- Your position about every 10 seconds while moving, plus flights, deaths and hearthstones
- Class, race, faction, level and game build
Never recorded
- Character name, realm, account name or GUID. Each character gets a random ID that never leaves your computer.
- Chat, whispers or other players
- Gold, bag contents or anything outside questing and loot
ForeverScout only reads what the game shows you. It never plays, clicks or automates anything.
