Questhelper and Cartagropher vs Carbonite Quest

Post by Asharak »

Well i was lurking around some forums and found a addon called Carbonite Quest that is a Quest helper and Map tool for questing :)

As mentioned in the Subject i use Cartagropher for my questing witch is an map mod that you can do addons for (like fubar or titanbar) that worked very well for me in the past, but since the patch it got fubar and i was very annoyed so i installed Questhelper, So i was using Cartagropher for my map needs and Questhelper for my questing needs but using 2 addons for the same thing kind of sux imo (i started using Cartagropher for the quest helper addon for it), and tbh Questhelper has all those very annoying arrows pointing everywhere i need to go asap, that's why i really don't like Questhelper though it's nice if you have nothing else.

And i found Carbonite Quest witch is an Map addon and Questhelper addon in one, and i am the type of person who likes to test different things just for the kick of it, and i tried Carbonite Quest and i instantly liked it, not much hassle with the setup for it, just move the "minimap" and quest tracker to your favorite place and you're ready to go! :)

The reason for mentioning this is the impending WotLK frenzy that will hit on Thursday and Carbonite Quest should have most WotLK quest in their database

True some people like to search for the quest mobs and quest items and so on, but I'm guessing there will be one million people around the quest areas and can be quite frustrating searching for something that never seem to spawn since i get's looted/killed at once and you search and search and never find it :)

Carbonite Quest even got a "Paying" version of it too that is fully loaded with goodies though the "lite" version is free and is enough for most people :)

Anyway i just wanted people to try this amazing addon out and judge for themselves :)

WotLK

1.40+ works on Wrath of the Lich King using English and German clients. Most of the WotLK quests have been added.

Data submission instructions are here.
Features

New: Punks List - The Punks list is part of our enhanced Social window. It allows you to add enemy player names to the list and when detected near you or another Carbonite user in your guild or zone, it will alert you with a message, sound and draw a green circle on the map.

Map - The Carbonite map gives you all the information you need in one easy to use and flexible Google like map. Move, size or zoom it the way you like.

Favorites - Records map notes, targets and general comments.

Quest - Blaze through quests at lightning speed and level faster than you ever thought possible. Our extensive quest database lists the location of quest objectives and turn-ins. Simply click any objective from your quest watch list and Carbonite will show you where to go. No more wasted time bouncing back and forth between a web browser and the game.

Battlegrounds - Dominate your opponents with our enhanced battleground map. See the location and names of all your teammates. See objective timers right on the map and issue orders with a click of the mouse – call for reinforcements to attack a vulnerable enemy target or simply announce the status of an objective. “He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious.” - Sun Tzu

UI - Windows can be moved, sized, scaled and locked. Values are saved for each character. Coexists well with most UI addons.

Privacy - Not in a social mood? Just turn off communication with guild, friend or zone and other Cabonite users won't see you on the map.

your definition of "cool" is way out there :p

im using questhelper, im a robot when questing, i dont like to read the logs, i rather look at the nice scenery (i dont read the book, i enjoy the pictures alot more!!1)

questhelper always swallowed alot of memory tho, tend to be laggy sometimes for me
