A list of working and tested addons for World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5a! Download addons for your user interface, boss encounters, and more!
WoW Classic is just about to launch, and if you want to play without many roadblocks to your journey, you should download and install some addons. There’s a whole list of them that will help you do quests, level up, raid, and more.
Installing Classic addons manually
The easiest way to install addons is the manual route. This has you downloading .ZIP files, extracting them, and tossing them into your game’s install location. So download your addons of choice and get started.
- You need to find your WoW files. The game is on your C drive by default, and location should look something like this: C:Program FilesBlizzardWorld of Warcraft_classic_.
- Browse to the Interface folder and then the AddOns folder inside of that
- Drag your uncompressed addon to the addon folder.
When you load up the game — when it’s live of course — your addons will be there
- I use wowmatrix primarily, they have a mac client and a decent list of popular addons. If push comes to shove and your raid leader requests an add on not available to WM, ie. Exxorsus raid tools, you simply download the file from curse. Go to your wow folderinterfacesaddons and just drop the file in there. Reload client and you're good to go.
- So I was installing the latest patch and noticed that healbot wasn’t working so I extracted the files and put them in the Addons folder along with the whole Healbot folder and made a jumbled mess of my Addons to where Healbot wasn’t working properly. So I deleted all the contents of my WoW folder, except for the actual game file and the launcher. I think I may have accidentally deleted.
Install addons with the Twitch client
But there’s an easier way to do this. The Twitch client that many already use to install addons (and keep them updated) in the live game can also work for Classic. Here’s how:
- Open your Twitch application
- Go to the Mods section, then click World of Warcraft
- From the top right drop down menu, select the folder for WoW Classic (note that if you want to go back to retail WoW addons, you’ll need to change the folder back)
Now, you can install addons directly from Twitch
But there’s a trick, because Twitch is packed with new addons that won’t work in Classic. Be sure to search for “classic” or “wow classic” because the app doesn’t differentiate the addons in its list. Once you find an addon, make sure to click into its description and double check that it’ll work for the old game. Hopefully, Twitch is working on a way to separate the two types of addons.
How To Install Add-ons For Wow On Mac
For now, the addons are a bit sparse because the game isn’t properly out yet. But we have a big list of our favorite addons as well as specific ones for leveling up. Be sure to install them while now while the client is available so you can be prepared for the launch in less than two weeks!
