WoW Classic can be a major pain to play as it is. Some features that you might think are essential are not part of the game.
Some of these add-ons affect gameplay while others offer quality of life features. Here are the top 22 best addons for WoW Classic that every true gamer needs.
Best Addons for WoW Classic
Here are some addons that are confirmed working with WoW Classic. As you might expect, most addons are from modern WoW or even back from vanilla.
Still, WoW classic is totally new under the hood, meaning that many addons are not yet updated or supported for the new client. We’ll update this list as more and more addons are getting released.
Questie The Classic Quest Helper
These are two add-ons but we have put them together because they work well with one another. The Vanilla Guide is a guide of how you can level most effectively in the game. It will tell you what to do, where to go and what to pick. The person that has written the guide had the fastest level to 60 time so you can trust it.
Questie shows you the quests that are available to you depending on your level. The quests are marked on the map for your convenience. It does kill the lore of the game a little bit but if you are interested in level up to 60 as fast as possible then this is how you can do just that. Both of these add-ons can cut a lot of your playtime and get you to level 60 much faster.
Lazy Pig
Lazy pig can come in handy when you are in raids. Coins drop and you have to pick them up one by one. The Lazy Pig add-on will make life easier by automatically picking up gold. The add-on call also does some other cool stuff like auto accepting invites that you get from people.
If you are waiting for an invite to a raid but you have to go AFK for a while then you can get that invite and accept it without you having to be there at your computer. There are some other features that the add-on has to offer as well. It is very easy to use and customizable.
Enemy Cast Bar
There are no casting bars in the regular game but with this add-on, you will be able to see the casting bars of your enemies. This will tell you which spells you need to interrupt.
Buff Enough Classic
This will come in handy for casting in a raid. If you are a druid or mage then this add-on will come in handy. Some buffs only apply to the group that you are in and not the whole raid. This add-on will keep track of who has a buff or who does not have a buff in the raid.
Atlas World Map Classic
This is a pretty popular add-on in WoW Classic. Atlas Loot shows you the different dungeons and raids on the map. It will also tell you where the different bosses are. If you are not familiar with a dungeon or need to know which boss you will be up against then you will be able to see that with this add-on. It will also tell you the different loot that the bosses drop.
Chronometer
This add-on keeps track of any debuffs that you have on a target. If you are a healer then you can keep track of the renews that you have.
Bigwigs
This add-on gives you a warning about spells that can kill you. You should have this on if you are planning on doing raids or boss battles. If you get living bomb on you, this add-on will tell you to move away so that you do not kill everyone in the raid that is with you.
Decursive
This is another highly customizable add-on that you can use in WoW classic. It keeps track of the people in the raid that have a curse. Instead of checking this by yourself you can see who has the curve with this add-on. You can also prioritize decursing some classes over others. Tanks, for example, will take more damage so you can prioritize decursing them first over other classes.
Luna Unit Frames
This add-on allows you to keep different UI elements close to one another. If you have a large display then the UI might seem scattered. If you want things to be in a certain place or close together then you can use this add-on to do that. It also comes with a cast timer for yourself and the enemy.
You can move things around, make them bigger or smaller. You can keep track of your enemy and your enemy’s target as well. There are plenty of add-ons that do the same thing but this one is pretty popular and it is the one that we can recommend.
Outfitter
If you have multiple sets for PVP and raids then this add-on will come in handy. With this add-on, you can easily add sets that you want to use. You can change your gear with just a few clicks. You do not have to change each and everything manually. This add-on saves time and removes the hassle when switching between PVP, raid and so on.
RingMenu
This add-on pops up 12 buttons around your cursor. You can dump the spells that you do not use often here. You can add your portals, hearthstones and fire resistance potions here. It gives you more slots that are pretty easy to access.
You can bind the ring menu to any key and it will show up when you press the specified button. This is a decent add-on that helps you keep the overall interface clean. It is a highly customizable add-on, so you can increase the number of buttons and also set how big the ring is. You can add a background if you want as well.

Classic Threat Meter
This is a threat meter that will help you stay alive if you get agro off of the tank. This is a major issue in the vanilla game and this add-on will solve this problem.
Bongos
This add on lets you create custom action bars. You can have one for consumables and see how much of each consumable you have at a glance. You can also get another action bar for utilities. You can do plenty of different things with this add-on like creating action bars for portals and buffs. This add-on also allows you to move the mini-map to a location of your choosing.
CThunWarner
This add-on brings up a sphere on the screen. If you are too close to someone it will turn Red but when you are further away it will turn Green. It will also keep track of time in different quests. This is a must-have if you are doing the CThun raid.
CasterStats
This add-on keeps track of your spell damage and other casting related stats that are not displayed in the vanilla game. This is a great add-on for any caster as it gives you vital information at a glance.
DPSMate
This add-on is a damage meter that keeps track of how much damage you deal and how much damage you have taken. It also tracks healing and other useful stats that you might need to know about at a glance. There are plenty of similar add-ons in the game but this is one of the best that you can use. It looks great and can be customized.
Ignition
This add-on tells you which mage has the ignite and how much damage is being done. If you are in a group and you do not see your name on the add-on then that means that you do not have ignite. If your name does pop up then it means that you do have ignite and that you need to watch yourself so that you do not over-agro. You know how much damage is being done so you know when to slow down.
URL Copy
This add-on allows you to copy and paste a URL from the chat and to the chat. This can come in handy if you need to send a discord link or something else that you want to share with friends in-game. It can also come in handy when a guild is recruiting people or you want to share some kind of guide with other players.
Aux
This is an auction house add-on which is very popular. You can use this to tell your gear very easily. You can check the vendor prices to see how much gold you will get for selling a particular piece of gear. It can take a long time for you to get to level 60 and even more time to get the right gear. So, you will be using this add-on from the moment you install to until you stop playing the game.
The customization is a bit complicated but once you get used to it, it is very easy to use and makes things much easier. Buying and selling is another topic entirely so we are not going to cover that here.
CT_Mailmod
This allows you to collect everything from mailbox in just one click. Getting items from the mailbox can take a while and it can get very repetitive if you have a lot of items. This changes things and makes the same task much faster.
Improved Error Frame
This add-on does not improve your gameplay experience but it will hide the errors that show up when you are playing WoW Classic. As you add more add-ons, you will start to get more errors and that will interfere with how you play the game. That is why this add-on is recommended.
We have included some of the best ones here and I hope that they help you on your journey.
