Standalone quest addon · Interface 3.3.5
A quest addon that learns the world by playing it. It points you to your next objective, remembers where things are, and gets a little smarter every time someone quests with it.
Alliance & Horde supported
No pfQuest, Questie, or TomTom required — fully self-contained.
What it does
Ships with its own bundled coordinate database, then keeps correcting and filling it in from your own play.
Points you toward your next quest objective or turn-in automatically — no separate addon needed to know which way to walk.
Quest giver, turn-in, and objective locations are saved to a shared learned database, filling gaps in the bundled data over time.
Filtered by level range, real bitwise faction checks, and completion history from the server — not just what this addon has seen before.
A small movable panel puts the icon for "use this on the objective" items, like an Essence Extractor, one click away.
Cross-zone quests get a real route or a precise checkpoint for the arrow to aim at, instead of a generic "fly there."
A tracker panel that can stand in for Blizzard's default one, built to match everything else the addon already knows.
Quest givers and objectives show up right on the map and minimap, clustered so a busy zone stays readable.
Suggests an order to tackle your active quests, clustering nearby ones so you clear an area instead of backtracking.
See how many known quests you've finished in your current zone, and what's still left to pick up.
Shows the next quest in a chain, when one is known, right as you're about to turn something in.
Both factions are fully supported, with the same learning database shared underneath.
If TomTom is installed, waypoints can be set automatically. If it isn't, everything still works without it.
Reference
Everything is reachable from /aql. The most useful ones day-to-day are learn, route, and config.
Getting started
Download the addon and extract the zip.
Copy the AutoQuestLearner folder into your Interface\AddOns\ folder, so the path ends in ...\AddOns\AutoQuestLearner\AutoQuestLearner.toc.
Fully restart the game client the first time — a /reload isn't enough on first install.
Check that it's enabled in your AddOns list at the character select screen, then run /aql guide in-game any time.
Version history
Every zip in downloads/ is also archived as a dated GitHub Release, so older versions stay downloadable.

Built on the shoulders of the community
Inspired by pfQuest (created by shagu) and Questie-X (maintained by Xurkon, a fork of the original Questie project rebuilt for private servers).
A number of quest NPC gaps are filled in from the original Questie project — thanks to Aero, Logon, Muehe, TheCrux/BreakBB, Drejjmit, Dyaxler, Cheeq, TechnoHunter, and other contributors.
Precise "stand here" coordinates for zone-wide objectives are supplemented from TourGuideVanilla (by cralor, credit to Tekkub for the original framework).
Maintained by Ezinagro. This addon is a work in progress — /aql learn is how anyone playing it helps correct the shared database, permanently, for everyone.
