Game: WoW Forever. Version: 1.5.6.
Legacy Tracker brings WoW Forever Legacy challenges, points, reward progress, and saved character progress into one window. It reads the game’s Legacy-related data and keeps a class-challenge snapshot for each character you log into.
Install
Use the CurseForge app first. Select your Forever game installation, search for Legacy Tracker, and install the matching release. The catalog lists https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/legacy-tracker.
For a manual install, place the release folder at World of Warcraft/_forever_/Interface/AddOns/LegacyTracker/. Keep LegacyTracker.toc directly inside that folder, with its Lua files and media beside it. Avoid an extra nested release folder. Fully close and restart the game, then enable the addon for the character in the AddOns list.
Quick start
- Type
/lt setupto review the guide, then open Overview. - Open Challenges, choose a category, and click a challenge to expand its requirements.
- Log into each alt once so Characters can show its latest class challenges and points spent.

Features and windows
Overview
The account Legacy Points display is separate from this character's points spent in Legacy trees. Reward cards show progress toward rewards and the next reward. The closest unfinished challenges help you choose a useful next task. These values depend on data the game has loaded; an initially empty view is not proof of missing progress.
Challenges
The sidebar has collapsible categories and completion counts. Search also matches descriptions. Click a challenge to expand its criteria; hover for details that do not fit on a row. Multi-criterion completion percentages average each criterion's progress. A nearly finished short criterion does not give the same meaning as a raw total of all required actions.
Use Track or right-click a challenge to change objective tracking. Shift-click links a challenge in chat. These controls use game tracking and chat behavior; they do not complete the challenge or spend Legacy Points for you.
Characters
Each row is the latest recorded class-challenge snapshot for that character. It shows level, completed class challenges, points earned from those challenges, points spent, last seen date, and a suggested next challenge. It is not a live read of offline characters. Log into an alt to refresh its record.
Windows and minimap
The main window has Overview, Challenges, and Characters. Drag to move it and use the lower-right corner to resize. The minimap icon toggles the window on left-click; right-click opens a menu with Setup guide and More from Korivash. The bottom Setup guide button reopens the same guide, which can recenter the window at its default size. Escape dismisses the guide without changing the main window's prior visibility. More from Korivash opens the catalog.
Scans are delayed briefly to collect updates and wait during combat. When combat ends, pending progress can refresh. The current UI has no theme, opacity, font, or scale settings; old appearance preferences are discarded during migration.
FAQ
Why are my alts missing?
Only characters recorded by this installation appear. Log into each alt.
Are Characters points my full account total?
No. The character rows summarize class challenges and that character's spending; Overview shows account points separately.
Why did progress not change during a fight?
Full progress scans wait until combat ends.
Can I search the challenge description?
Yes. Search covers names, categories, and descriptions.
Can I keep a challenge on the normal tracker?
Use its Track checkbox or right-click it.
Why does the percent differ from adding all criterion counts?
The addon averages criterion progress percentages.
Where are the old theme controls?
They are not exposed in this version. Old appearance preferences are removed.
Are completion messages sent to my party?
No. The completion checkbox prints to your local chat frame.
Troubleshooting and saved data
Account-wide preferences and character snapshots are stored in LegacyTrackerDB. If the window says data is loading, give the game time to load Legacy information and check again outside combat.
The addon does not appear. Check the game installation selected in CurseForge, the folder name above, and the AddOns checkbox for this character. A full game restart is needed when adding an addon or new files; a UI reload is not a substitute for that first restart.
A manual update seems to disappear. Check whether CurseForge is managing the same folder. An app update or reinstall can replace a hand-installed build. Keep a backup outside AddOns and use one update method for that installation.
Settings are missing or reverted. WoW writes saved settings during a normal logout or UI reload. Back up saved files while the game is closed. Account data is normally under _forever_/WTF/Account/<Account>/SavedVariables/LegacyTracker.lua, with a .lua.bak backup when present. Do not confuse that file with the addon's source files in Interface/AddOns. A different account or game installation has a different saved-data folder.
Something still looks wrong. Use the recovery controls described above, then reload. For help, include the addon version, game flavor, what you clicked, and the exact error text: https://discord.gg/YxFRuEPSxZ.
