World of Warcraft is one of the most customizable games in the entire world. With add-ons that can completely change the way the game looks and feels. But there's some things left out within the normal game that can easily be enhanced by using the right add-on for the situation. Today we’re going to break down what we think are all of the most essential add-ons for World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery, so that you can enhance your experience while not taking away from that feeling of playing World of Warcraft. And you can get all of these things set up right now on classic era so they will translate over to season of Discovery and you won't have any issues just logging in and playing the game. So let's get started!


1. Weapon Swing Timer 

The first add-on for Season of Discovery is going to be a weapon swing timer. Weapon swing timer is a very useful add-on and you can set it up just for hunters if you want. But melee also love to know exactly when they're getting their hits to attack. Downloading a standard weapon swing timer is one of the easiest add-ons just to enhance your gameplay to know how long you have to stand still in order for your attacks to go off, or just to know when your next attack is going to be happening.


2. What’s Training 

The second SoD add-on is what's training, it tells you what you can train and at what levels. So if you just open up your normal spell book and scroll down, you'll see that at level 6, you can learn Arcane shot and Hunter's Mark. This is very useful while leveling so that you know when you can return to your trainers to have an extra rank of something very strong. 


3. Leatrix Plus

Leatrix Plus is one of the most useful add-ons in Season of Discovery WoW Classic, this add-on is like 50 add-ons all combined into one. You can just download it and you can automatically sell all of your junk, so you never have to worry about anything staying in your inventory, you can repair automatically, you can automate gossip which makes some of your quests go quicker and automate quest skipping. Both of these make the leveling experience a lot easier, but there's a ton more that this add-on can do. You can make sure that you block trades or block whispers or you can set it up to invite everyone from your whispers, so that whenever they message you imv, your entire group gets invited. 


4. Bagnon 

There are a couple other SoD add-ons like Addy bag that are pretty much essentially the same ones, but Bagnon will let you know what is junk in your inventory, it'll also let you organize things in whichever ways you want. Bagnon is super useful, you can can check all of the gold on any of your alts and it is just an all-in-one bag add-on that makes things a little bit more aesthetically pleasing. But if we're talking about aesthetically pleasing, you might also want to change your default action bars and to change your default action bars.


5. Bartender

A really good Season of Discovery add-on for that is just going to be Bartender. Bartender is really nice because you can use it with your normal default aesthetic action bars, and it will allow you to very quickly keybind anything you want. 


6. Questie

And if you hate reading all of the quest text itself to be able to figure out what you need to do for each individual quest, there are two major add-ons that you might want to use. The one that everyone almost everyone actually has this is called questie. Questie will tell you whenever you open the map where you need to go for whatever your next quests are. It'll also show you whenever you scroll over a mob if they will drop your new quest items. And you can easily complement it with one of the most popular leveling add-ons in the entire game, rested XP.


7. Rested XP 

And the nice thing for this add-on is it literally will give you an arrow telling you exactly what to do for all quests and it'll even mark all of the quest givers. The Rested XP system rewards you for returning to the game after you have been away for a while. It is a bar that adds to your Experience bar while you are offline, and it increases the XP you gain from killing mobs until the bar is depleted. The Rested XP bar grows up to 150% of your level or 15 "bubbles" of XP on the default UI. The bar grows much quicker if you log off in an Inn or a Capital City, so you should always try to log out in either of those places to get the most benefit.


8. Nova to Layer

The good thing about Nova World Buffs not to get World Buffs is actually that it will tell you which layer that you are on and it will tell you which people in your guild are on different layers. So if you were to want to get onto Russell's layer or Aussie's layer, you can whisper them and ask for an invite to switch off of the layer that you are on currently. So this is extremely useful for layering if a lot of the mobs you are trying to fight, or maybe despawned or a quest NPC is despawned or there's too many people killing the same enemies that you are. If you want to go to a fresh layer where you are the only person there, Nova World Buffs is amazing for it. Nova instance tracker on the other hand will track how many times you have entered into a dungeon and tell you when your lockout is up. We have in Season of Discovery the same dungeon system that we had back in Classic, this is basically the same one that's on era where you can do 5 dungeons every hour. And so if you want to do dungeons on your way up to level 25 or up to level 60, then you absolutely are going to need to have Nova instance tracker. These two work perfectly together and they are just so easy to get you download them and never have to set them up. 


9. Rarescanner/Unit San

the next add-on that you get is called rare scanner all this does is let you know whenever you are near any sort of rare spawn. Whenever there is a rare spawn near you, you will get an alert that will be a sound alert as well as a popup on your screen, then you can go and attack that rare spawn for some amazing loot or even some really good quest items.


10. Weak Auras

WeakAuras offers a powerful and flexible framework that allows you to display customizable graphics on the game’s user interface to indicate buffs, debuffs, and other helpful information. It includes an easy-to-use configuration interface, custom textures, and progress bars, and it comes with preset animations, custom effects like chat announcements and sounds, and more.
