Parzelle's Addon: a do-everything Mage companion for WoW Forever
Parzelle’s Addon is new: a free, open source Mage companion for World of Warcraft: Forever. Pick Arcane, Fire or Frost, and one window tells you what to cast, what to wear, where to quest, what to train and where you can teleport, all for your spec and your level. Version 0.1.0 is out today, the first release.
It’s built on the same window as Andric’s Addon, the Priest companion, so if you’ve used that one you already know your way around.
One window, built around what to do next
Type /parzelle (or /mage) and start on Home. It shows what your trainer has for you, your savings toward riding, your next Mage class quest, and anything that needs attention: missing buffs, conjured food and water running low, upgrades sitting in your bags, news you haven’t read. A search box finds any spell, talent, item, quest or dungeon.
- Rotation: Solo, Dungeon and Raid priorities for each spec, plus Crowd control and Mana tabs. It shows only spells you can cast at your level, offers an optional on-screen helper, and posts a short summary with a mana tip after each fight. It only advises; nothing is cast for you.
- Polymorph tracker: the helper shows who you sheeped and how long it has left, warns if it breaks early, and keeps Frost Nova, Counterspell and Cone of Cold cooldowns beside it.
- Gear: tooltips say whether an item is an upgrade for your spec, counting only the spell school that spec uses. Upgrades glow in your bags, and a click shows who drops an item, which quest rewards it or how it’s crafted, with a map pin.
- Leveling and talents: trainer visits, zones and dungeons for your level and faction, class quests, riding and gold goals, and recommended builds drawn on Forever’s own talent trees. Frost is marked as the safest spec to level with.
- Learn the Mage: 44 short lessons that unlock as you level, plus 49 spells and 36 talents explained.
- Dual spec: each character gets two profiles, and the addon switches with you when you swap specs.
The Conjure Button and the travel bar
A small Conjure Button shows how much conjured water, food and mana gem you’re carrying. Each press makes whatever you’re shortest on: a mana gem if you have none, then water up to your target, then food. It casts the highest rank you know, and you can set the targets and bind it to any key in Settings.
Portals & teleports lists every teleport and portal for your faction, the level you learn it, and your reagent counts. A separate travel bar holds one button for each one you know. Both keep Blizzard’s rules: one press, one cast, set up out of combat, no macros.
It shows its sources
Every fact keeps its source (Blizzard, Icy Veins and Wowhead) and the date it was checked. Where the sources disagree or say nothing yet, such as which reagents Forever’s portals still need, the names of Forever’s conjured food and water, or raid gear before the raids open on December 9, the addon says so instead of guessing. A What’s new page collects Forever and Mage changes, and new releases bring updated research.
The addon is named for Parzelle Starfall, a High Order Skyborne Mage who started out on Zephras Isle and hadn’t picked a spec by level 8. It’s built for her and tested on her.
