A leveling addon for WoW Classic Era · free original guide

Never guess your next step.

A route crafted by one of Classic's most experienced speedrunners, built into an addon: a HUD arrow, a sticky to-do list, and steps that stay out of your way.

9 years of routing · 2,800+ steps to level 60 · no account required

A pointer to your next step, coloured to match your skin, with chevrons marking when a quest is above or below you.

The sticky to-do list tracking several objectives

At-a-glance tracking of multiple objectives, with reminders pinned to the top of the window.

The auto targeting button

Auto Targeting

Off by default. Turn it on and it targets the current step's mobs and NPCs for you.

A flight timer bar counting down

Timed & Flight Bars

Countdowns for timed quests and flights, with an audio cue if you've wandered from the keyboard.

A solo challenge prompt on a difficult quest

Solo Challenges

Difficult quests to solo are highlighted for the brave and adventurous, with the option to skip straight to the group plan.

The quest cleanup dialog listing a quest the guide didn't use, with buttons to open the quest log or dismiss

Quest Cleanup

At the end of each guide, the addon lets you know which quests are safe to drop from your log.

Toggle Anything

Every feature is optional: automation, arrows, bars, all switchable on or off.

Class Quests Routed In

Bear Form, Cure Poison, and other class quests slotted right into your leveling path.

A step note warning about a dangerous pull

Notes That Actually Help

Step notes call out the mobs worth avoiding and how to handle the hard ones.

The Speedrun Splits window: a big running timer with one row per level, personal best beside the current time

Speedrun Splits

A live timer with per-section splits against your personal best, so you can see your pace and push for a new record.

A full guide suite, including your own

The in-game guide picker listing every guide, colour-coded by level

Every guide, one list: pick any zone, any time.

Guide difficulty, against your level Trivial Easy Even Hard Very hard

The original route stays free

The original 1-60 Classic guide is free, no account, no subscription. Cutting-edge routes from other speedrunners may come free, paid, or by subscription: support your favourite guide writers and get direct access to their work.

Four looks, one window

Switch skins any time in Options; the whole window repaints, live, no reload. The buttons below repaint this page too.

Record your own route

Recording is a separate addon, Alenya's Guides Writer. The reader works fine on its own; most players never need it. Install the Writer too if you want to build your own route: play normally and it captures each step as you go, in order, ready to publish or hand off as a pack.

  1. 1Install the Writer: a separate addon
  2. 2Create a new guide: with your own name as author
  3. 3Record: play normally; every kill, loot, and turn-in is captured in order
  4. 4Edit: edit steps in game with powerful options: in-game undo, and select, move, or reorder whole blocks at once
  5. 5Pack & share: export your guide as a pack to share free or charge for access
  6. 6Import & adapt: import other addon leveling guides as a starting point for your own

Where it's headed

The addon is live and the route keeps growing. Right now I'm working hard to have Alenya's Guides ready for Classic+ (Forever) the day it launches, with a fresh suite of guides built for the new world.

Stay in the loop

Hear about it when a new stretch drops

Levels 20-60 land on the website in stretches as they're recorded. One email when a new one's up, nothing else.

The addon and the original 1-60 guide are free. If you'd like to support the work anyway, Patreon and Ko-fi are to the side.
