GearInsight Forever addon

v0.6.1·Updated 2026-11-06

What's new

GearInsight Forever 0.6.1
[New: BiS corner icons on the character panel]
Open your character panel and the best upgrade for your current level shows as a small icon on the slot corner; hover to see the item and where it drops, click for directions (dungeon drop, quest reward, vendor map pin).
Picks follow the Leveling plan Gear view and refresh after a talent change. Toggle in Settings or with /gi bis.
[BiS picks: vendor and crafted gear]
Vendor items now count as main picks, with a map pin for the vendor.
Crafted items are shown as alternatives under the main pick, without replacing dungeon and quest gear. The website is updated too.
[Hunter: where to tame pets]
The Pet page adds "Where to tame": where each pet can be found; each ability lists the beasts that teach it.
When you tame, the addon records the beast's location and the result to help correct the data.
[Group]
Right-click player menu adds "Invite to guild".
Groups formed with the quest-mates tool switch to free-for-all loot (not inside dungeons; /gi 拾取关 turns it off).
The thanks popup also shows when you leave the group yourself (after 5 minutes together or a shared quest turn-in); /reload no longer resets time together.
[Other]
Without the updater, the footer now says "built-in data" instead of "data pack not downloaded".

v0.6.0 · 2026-11-05

GearInsight Forever 0.6.0
[Important: talent trees updated to the launch build]
Blizzard reworked the talent trees at launch. The talent simulator, default leveling builds and recommended builds are rebuilt from the launch client (1.60.1.70790) for all nine classes.
Talent codes are now GIF2. Pre-launch GIF1 codes no longer match the trees and are rejected with a prompt to regenerate; old saved plans are cleared. Codes in guides and the leveling plan are all updated.
[Data updated to the launch build]
Keybinds, ability cheat sheet, raid buffs, macros and spell notes follow the launch client: removed spells (Blessing of Salvation, Blessing of Light, etc.), renames, cooldown / cost / level changes.
Item database adds new and changed launch items.
[Leveling plan]
Cozy Sleeping Bag quest line fully detailed: 7 steps with coordinates, faction-specific travel, rewards and warnings, plus the optional Rekindle quest. Effects from client data: 15 s cast, +1% XP per minute up to 3 stacks, 2 hours, 1-hour cooldown.
Fixed Horde progress not ticking on the sleeping bag chain.
[Fixes]
Guild recruiting list stuck at Oct 17 showing delisted guilds: this version ships the latest list, and updater 0.2.55+ refreshes it hourly.

v0.5.11 · 2026-11-05

GearInsight Forever 0.5.11
Fixes
Quest mates now use a different transport: the Forever client doesn't allow addon messages on custom channels (it kept reporting "channel invalid (7)"), so sharing now goes through guild chat plus silent addon whispers. Guildmates and players you can see nearby who also run the addon see each other's quest progress; players without the addon see nothing. Both sides need this version.
New
Guild chat shows the speaker's current level before the message: "[Guild] [Name]: [26] LFG". Levels come from the game's guild roster, so players without the addon are covered too; turn it off under Settings > Guild.
Gathering-node crowdsourcing: herb, ore and chest locations are recorded when you gather or open them (no character names) and uploaded anonymously by the updater, to put the nodes on the map once there's enough data.
Changes
The beta card QR (/gi card) has been removed.

v0.5.10 · 2026-11-05

GearInsight Forever 0.5.10
Fixes
Quest mates not showing other players: the status line now starts with the reason sharing failed (for example "Share failed - channel invalid (7)"), and chat says it once on the first failure; an invalid channel is rejoined automatically and throttled sends slow down instead of failing over and over.
Talent picks ignoring your spec: picking Balance talents still recommended Feral. The recommended build now follows the tree you have the most points in, and updates while the talent page is open.
Wrong skill groups on the Keys page: all nine classes reviewed, 77 fixes. For example Flash of Light is now Healing, Counterspell is Interrupt, Hunter aspects are Stances, Polymorph and Shackle Undead are Crowd control, Ice Block and Power Word: Shield are Defensive.
The Keys page no longer lists passives and proc effects you can't press (trap effects, Clearcasting, Frostbite, Unbridled Wrath and others).
New
Level-up shouts now include your class rank: "Level 10, tied #2 in the guild, Mage: #1!" for every class; left out when nobody else in the guild plays your class.
The guild recruitment page matches the mini program: pinned and trending guilds are full-size cards at the top, tagged "Pinned" or "Hot #N"; the classes after "Need" are shown as class icons.
Changes
Expanding "Other" on the Keys page no longer adds an extra "click to collapse" row; click the group title to collapse it.

v0.5.9 · 2026-11-04

GearInsight Forever 0.5.9
Fixes
The WeChat group QR code on the News page is replaced with a new one (the old one had expired). The new code is valid until Nov 11 and will be refreshed in later versions.

v0.5.8 · 2026-11-04

GearInsight Forever 0.5.8
New
Leveling plan has a new "Dungeon quests" view: dungeons your faction can run in the level range, low to high, with which quests to pick up outside, where the entrance is, how to get there, and a risk mark where it applies. Click a row for quest details.
The dungeon quest window now has an entrance line and a "Route" button: zone, coordinates and spot; click to pin the entrance on the map and print the route in chat, hover for the full route.
New "Official guide additions" section at the end of the window: quests from the official 1-30 dungeon quest guide that were not listed before (mostly new Forever quests), with the giver, location, chain length and reward choices.
Quest rows carry a "Trigger" tag for quests started by an item inside the dungeon, a boss/mob drop, or limited to Warlocks.
Changes
Entrances updated from the official guide for 12 dungeons. City of Dalaran's entrance is the Alterac sewers, with how to get the key for each faction.
The Sunken City, Krol'dok Stronghold, Alcaz Island Prison, Blackmaw Hold and Shaper's Terrace only have route text for now, no exact coordinates, so nothing is pinned at a guess.
Dungeons that need a trip through hostile territory (for example Shadowfang Keep for Alliance, Hall of Thanes for Horde) show a risk note.
Note
Quest levels, XP and rewards: see in game.

v0.5.7 · 2026-10-29

GearInsight Forever 0.5.7
Changes
Gear picks now only suggest items you can actually get in Forever: each must have a Forever source (dungeon drop, quest reward, crafted, or rare drop).
Classic raid gear (AQ, Naxxramas, Zul'Gurub, etc.) removed; the pick list goes from 1005 to 802 items.
Arms Warriors and Retribution Paladins: with a two-hander available, only the two-hander is suggested and the off-hand stays empty.
Gear from high-level dungeons (Blackrock Depths, Stratholme, ...) will be added once confirmed in game after launch.
Balance and Restoration druid leveling builds are back (lost in the 0.5.4 data update).
Trainer locations and taught skills updated from in-game player reports.
Fixes
Herb gathering requirements were not being recorded by the data collection (the spell was renamed in the new client).

v0.5.6 · 2026-10-26

GearInsight Forever 0.5.6
New
Hide other players' level-up shouts (on by default): addon level-up announcements ("from level X to Y", "Ding", etc.) in guild, officer, party, raid, instance, say, yell and channels are no longer shown.
Your own shouts still show, whispers are untouched, and normal chat that mentions a level is not hidden.
Toggle in Settings > Guild, or /gi lvlmute on|off; /gi lvlmute shows how many were hidden this session.
Changes
Our own level-up shout now defaults to milestones only (10 / 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60) instead of every level; existing users are switched automatically. Every level / every 5 levels / off can be chosen in Settings.
感谢群友路痴酱的反馈。

v0.5.5 · 2026-10-25

GearInsight Forever 0.5.5
Fixes
Fixed the Lua error that kept popping up while chatting: "attempted to iterate a table that cannot be accessed while tainted (execution tainted by 'GearInsight_Forever')" (worst in groups and while questing, up to thousands of times per session).
Cause: the "speaker level in guild chat" display replaced a chat frame function, which the new client treats as tainting Blizzard UI code that runs afterwards.
That display is paused for now (its toggle is hidden in Settings) until it can be done without touching the chat frames. Level-up shouts are not affected.
The Gear picks tab icon now shows correctly.
Other
Chinese dungeon and raid names now match the official China site.
Level-up shout prefix changed to "[GearInsight插件]".

v0.5.4 · 2026-10-22

GearInsight Forever 0.5.4
Data updated to the launch client
Talents and default builds rebuilt from the latest talent data: 88 talents still had old text or values and now match the website.
Professions, camping, pets, achievements and the macro spell list updated to the launch client:
The Engineering Tinkerbox recipes and 28 "Adaptive" items removed at launch no longer show.
Pet abilities use current values (for example Mine! now has a 90 sec cooldown, Dismember 15 sec).
555 more recipe sources, reported by players in game.
Professions
Campfires show both requirements: Journeyman Campfire is learned at Cooking 95 and placed at 140; Expert Campfire 205 / 220.
Starting-zone junior trainers (Apprentice only) and the Skyborne trainers on Zephras Isle are now in the leveling plan, marked "(guide)" until confirmed in game.
Data collection
The addon records in-game info that our data still lacks: where trainers are and what skill each rank needs; gathering skill requirements; whether campfires and camp objects can be placed; rested XP gained outside inns; when Legacy points are granted; talent trees and per-level talent choices.
No character or realm names. Uploaded anonymously by the GearInsight updater; type /gif data off to turn it off.

v0.5.3 · 2026-10-20

GearInsight Forever 0.5.3
New
New "Build together" tab: see where requests and bug reports stand - in progress, queued, recently shipped, contributors.
"Report bug" / "Request" copy a submit link (includes your class and addon version).
Click any item to copy its link and follow or vote on it.
/gi bug opens a copyable bug report.
Synced by the GearInsight updater; /reload to refresh.
"You saw" in Recipes: vendor windows and loot are checked for recipes, recording the NPC and location; shown in the recipe tooltip.
Shared anonymously through the updater to fill in sources for new Forever recipes.

v0.5.2 · 2026-10-20

GearInsight Forever 0.5.2
New
Professions > Recipes now shows where to get each recipe: which vendor sells it (zone, coordinates, faction, limited stock), Merchant's Favor quartermasters, which mobs drop it and how often, world-drop level ranges, quest rewards and quest givers, reputation requirements.
Hover to see every source (the other faction's are greyed out); click to pin it on the map and list all sources in chat.
New "Source" filter: vendor / Merchant's Favor / drop / quest / reputation / trainer / unknown (right-click to reset).
The search box also matches vendor and zone names.
The leveling route shows where to get recipes that aren't taught by trainers.
Fixes
The WeChat group QR code on the News page now points to the Forever group.

v0.5.1 · 2026-10-19

GearInsight Forever 0.5.1
New
"Advanced" tab: build a link to your personal leveling report (open it in a browser or on your phone). It compares your leveling time, deaths, professions, gear and guild with players of the same class. Also /gi report.
Main window footer: addon version and data pack date.
Changes
Guild chat level prefix and level-up announcements now live in the main addon, no need to open the Guild tab first.
Dungeon group finder is back in internal testing and not included in this release.
【改动】
公会频道名字前的等级、升级播报并入主插件，不用先打开公会页签也能生效。
副本组队暂时收回内部测试，这一版先不提供。

Skyborne pick a faction at character creation: Horde Skyborne can be Shamans, Alliance Skyborne can be Mages; no Priests; Druids get a unique new form.
Skyborne is a paid race (Skyborne Heroic pack or above).
Undead Paladins are in Forever from November; Night Elf Paladins are a retail 12.2 thing and are not in the Forever demo. Tauren still can't be Paladins.
Dwarf Shaman is Forever-only.

The rules

Straight from the official panels

No flying mounts

A design principle, not "later".

No level scaling

Low-level zones stay low-level; a level-40 mob never scales to you.

Level 60 cap, forever

Professions stay valuable, gear stays valuable; the catch-up system is playing the game.

No servers — four rulesets

Normal / PvP / RP / Hardcore. Hardcore is not in the November launch; it comes later. Death doesn't delete: transfer to another ruleset, progress moves one way only.

Dungeon drops unlock transmog for the whole group

Green and blue appearances go to everyone eligible to loot; raid epics only to the person it binds to. Transmog can be switched off entirely.

Characters have a first and last name

Both fields are required; the secondary name can be hidden in settings.

Camps

Set up camp in the world: vendor, repairs, profession stations and a one-hour buff while resting.

Legacy system

For alts: up to 16 points per character at launch, 65 earnable in total, challenges never stop.

Paladins can tank

Judgement no longer consumes the seal; Protection's Seal of Fury makes Judgement a taunt; Swift Judgement resets it once a minute. Holy gets a bit of group healing via talents.
