Hey everyone, Andrea here, and welcome
back to my channel. Today we are diving
into the add-ons I'll be using in
Midnight. The ones that fit my play
style, the ones I rely on every single
day, and honestly, the ones I just
cannot live without. A ton of you have
been asking about my UI lately, so I
figured it's finally time for an
up-to-date add-on guide. My old list was
from way back, and with Midnight right
around the corner, plus the pre-patch
shaking up half the API, a lot has
changed. Now, a quick tip before we jump
in. If your add-ons start acting weird
after the pre-patch, the easiest fix is
to wipe everything clean and reinstall
from scratch. I know it sounds painful,
but trust me, Midnight changed a lot
under the hood, and some add-ons just
won't behave unless you start fresh. If
you are getting those lovely Lua errors
popping up on your screen, get these two
add-ons, Bug Grabber and Bug Sack. They
won't fix the errors per se, but they
will hide those big, scary, red messages
and keep your UI looking clean while you
play. Just remember, the issues are
still happening in the background, so
the best long-term solution is still a
full reinstall of your add-ons. I'm
going to link the full guide below from
Laksos, that's the one I followed, and
it works great. All right, and now that
we have covered the basics, let's jump
into the add-ons I highly recommend
using for Midnight. Let's kick things
off with bag organization. For my
inventory, I'm using Bagnator along with
Syndicate or. I've been using this combo
for a couple of years now, and I
absolutely love it. I've tried other bag
add-ons before, but at the end of the
day, this one just feels the best to me.
It organizes your personal inventory,
your bank, your war bank, and tracks
items across your entire war bank. It's
super clean, very easy to set up, and
just makes everything look tidy. [music]
And when it comes to UI, clean and
simple wins every time, at least for me.
Moving on for the auction house, I use
two add-ons. I mostly use Auctioneer. It
allows you to post fast without having
to go back and forth between your
inventory and the auction house. It's
simple, clean, and very user-friendly.
If you're new to gold making, this is
100% where you should start. Now, if you
really want to go down the rabbit hole,
we're talking heavy flipping, enchant
undercut wars, serious auction house
camping, that's where TSM comes in. It's
a bit intimidating at first, especially
when you're trying to set up your
groups [music]
but once you master it, it becomes an
incredible tool. At the end of the day,
it boils down to how deep you want to
go. You are aiming for casual selling,
then stick with Auctioneer. You want to
go full goblin mode, then go TSM. And
since we're on the topic of goblins and
gold making, if you want to take your
professions to the next level, you might
want to check out Craftsim. I went over
it in my recent WoW gold guide, so I
won't repeat everything here again. I'll
drop the link below if you want to dive
deeper and see the full potential of
this add-on. Just keep it in mind if you
ever want to start a little profession
business in WoW and watch that gold pile
up, Craftsim is your go-to add-on. All
right, let's do a 180 and move on to
something a bit more chill, questing. If
there is one add-on I get asked about in
basically every video, it's DialogUI.
This add-on completely transforms the
quest window into a scroll style
interface.
immersive, more RPG-like, and honestly
makes the game feel fresher. You can
tweak it by resizing the font, changing
its appearance, hide the UI, and
generally you can adjust it to however
you like. You can also accept quests by
pressing the space bar, which is super
convenient. Now, I have to say at this
point that there is nothing wrong with
Blizzard's default quest UI, but for me,
it just lacks a bit of personality and
dialogue UI fixes that. Now, while this
add-on makes your questing experience
look nicer, Leatrix Plus is all about
making it faster and easier. If you've
got a lot of tunes and are doing tons of
questing, this add-on is a lifesaver. It
auto accepts and turns in quests, sells
junk, repairs gear, basically handles
all the busy work so you can focus on
the fun stuff. Especially during an
expansion launch when quests are pretty
much everywhere, it saves a ton of time.
And when you have to deal with mundane
daily tasks across multiple tunes,
Leatrix Plus really shines with auto
accepting. You can add a modifier key
binds as well, which is what I do as
sometimes I do want to read the quest
text. So, yeah, if you want to speed
level in Midnight, then Leatrix Plus is
a must-have. On top of the faster
questing experience that Leatrix
provides, there is another tool that
kind of flies under the radar, the
option to increase your max camera zoom.
Being able to zoom out further just
feels so much better in raids, Mythic
Plus, or any situation where you have to
deal with mechanics. Being able to see
more of what's happening around you is
huge. You can react faster and
everything feels more comfortable
overall. It's one of those small changes
that doesn't sound particularly
exciting, but once you use it, you will
never want to go back. You will find
other add-ons that can do the same
thing, but if you're already using
Leatrix for all the other quality of
life improvements I mentioned, you might
as well enable these, too. Okay, before
we move into the next add-on, if you'd
like to support the channel and help me
grow, check the description for a few
ways to do that. And in case you didn't
know, I do also stream on Twitch while
playing WoW, so feel free to follow me
over at twitch.tv/androidgames.
While Leatrix Plus helps you breeze
through quests, sometimes the real
challenge isn't completing them or
accepting them, but it's finding the
NPCs in the first place. If you often
find yourself thinking, "Okay, is this
NPC down in a cave or up on a hill?" and
then you end up checking a website just
to track them down. Well, I might have a
solution for you. Waypoint UI is an
add-on that can save you a ton of
hassle. It shows you exact positions of
NPCs, directions, and even highlights
the quest objective, which really
streamlines the whole questing process.
With a new expansion like Midnight,
where we're still learning the zones,
okay, some areas like Eversong are quite
familiar, but there is plenty of new
territory to explore. Well, this add-on
becomes incredibly valuable. Beyond
that, it also makes the game feel a bit
more modern, and I know some of you will
love it, and some might not, but I do
find these super helpful. And since
we're talking about coordinates, you
simply cannot travel across Azeroth
without TomTom. It's a very helpful
tool, especially if you are a collector.
If you are copying a bunch of
coordinates from guides, then Paste and
Go works perfectly alongside it. You can
transfer a big chunk of text, and TomTom
handles the rest, pinpointing every
location for you. Those two together are
amazing for rare hunting, treasure
finding, and just about any kind of
collecting. Speaking of collecting,
HandyNotes is hands-down one of the most
helpful add-ons out there. This one is
basically mandatory if you care about
finding mounts, pets, getting
achievements, cosmetics, you name it.
You start with a base add-on, and then
add plugins for each expansion or
holiday event. It even comes with
specific plugins for some annoying
farms. For example, tracking the dark
soils when you're farming for tillers.
Now, for Midnight specifically, you'll
want the HandyNotes Midnight plugin.
There is two of them, and one of them
will actually handle the treasures and
rares if you want those to show up, too.
At first, it can definitely feel a bit
overwhelming. Your map may end up
looking like an over-the-top Christmas
tree. But, don't worry, you can turn off
anything you don't want to see and focus
only on what you're hunting. Once you
tweak it, it's absolutely incredible.
Plus, the more things you complete, the
less clutter your map gets, which is
always a good sign. Okay, stepping away
from collecting for a moment, let's talk
about damage meters. Got to say I
appreciate Blizzard adding their own
built-in in this game. It was definitely
needed. That said, personally, I'm still
using Details. Why? Well, because it's
just way more customizable. You can
resize it properly, shrink it down a
lot, something Blizzard's meter won't
let you do for whatever reason. You can
also adjust exactly what it tracks. And,
I mean, the level of control is on a
completely different level. The in-game
meters might work perfectly fine for
some of you, but for me, Details still
wins. At the end of the day, it really
comes down to personal preference. And,
if you like tweaking your UI and having
full control over what you see, Details
gives you so much more freedom. Same
story with boss warnings. I'm not the
biggest fan of the new built-in alerts.
They're good, don't get me wrong, but
sometimes mechanics fly right past me
without me even noticing. Most of the
time, when I'm running dungeons or
raids, I'm healing. So, in other words,
I'm mostly focused on frames and using
my peripheral vision to keep track of
everything else. In those moments, yeah,
I definitely need an air horn to warn me
up all the stuff that's about to wipe me
out. I don't want to give up on
Blizzard's alerts just yet, so I'll give
them a proper run in Midnight, just to
be fair. But, if I find myself missing
mechanics that are about to kill me, I'm
going straight back to the two
lifesavers. Big Wings for raiding and
Little Wings for dungeons. Some of you
told me that they still work, so I might
just revert back to them. I've used
these add-ons for most of my WoW
journey. They're reliable, clean, and
have kept me alive more times than I can
count. Honestly, if something works, I
don't see a reason to fix it. As far as
nameplates go, I tried the default ones,
but guess what? I didn't like them as
much, and that's why I'm still using
Plater nameplates with an updated
profile shared by a helpful community
member. If you like what you see, then
you can copy for my Discord server.
You'll find the link in the description.
Nameplates are very personal, though, so
feel free to tweak them however you
like. Now, that said, I'm still figuring
out a way to change the color bar when
I'm missing my dots. Work in progress.
One amazing feature about Plater is that
mobs you need to kill for a quest get a
different color, which makes spotting
them so, so much easier. It obviously
does so many other things, like it makes
buffs and debuffs a bit more readable.
You can add arrows on your target and so
much more. At this point, I know what
you're thinking. You're thinking, "Well,
Andri, it seems like you are not that
happy with Blizzard trying to replace
add-ons." And maybe that's partly true.
They did a great job improving the
default UI, yet in some cases, add-ons
are simply better, giving you more
customization and freedom, so you can
tweak everything to your liking. Even
so, I actually really like the new
transmogrification system, so much that
I stopped using Better Wardrobe. I mean,
I'm not even sure if it still works
anymore. That said, I still use
Narcissus. Besides the improved
appearance tab, it has a lot of quality
of life features. It's amazing for
screenshots, showcasing NPCs, and
checking transmogs in a cleaner
interface. If you're a content creator,
role player, or just love taking cool
character shots, this is a must-have. I
really like how it shows all your
transmog pieces clearly and lets you
link them easily if someone's is
Now, when it comes to cooldowns, I'm
mostly okay with the new cool down
manager. I mean, it's not weak auras,
but it's pretty pretty decent. I just
use one simple add-on to improve it.
It's called cool down manager center and
allows me to move it to the middle of my
screen and present it better. Along with
that, I use sensei class resource bar.
It displays your health and class
resources in clean movable bars. It can
detect what class and spec you're
playing, [music] so set up is very very
minimal. You mostly just need to
position it and maybe tweak it [music]
slightly. A very simple and very
effective way to track your energy,
mana, shards, whatever resource you've
got as a class and spec. All right, and
now let's talk about something Blizzard
just cannot stop talking about, housing.
And yes, I know some of you are already
rolling your eyes, but come on. We've
been asking for this for over 20 years.
It's finally here and so people have
created amazing add-ons and tools that
can take your housing experience to the
next level. Some add-ons help you find
decor more easily, others make
decorating smoother, and a few of them
are just straight up quality of life
upgrades. First up, and honestly, this
one is a complete game changer,
homebound. This add-on shows you exactly
where to get decor items, whether they
come from achievements, vendors, quests,
pretty much anything. It can show you
where those vendors are located, so
grabbing missing pieces becomes super
easy. And here's why this matters.
Collecting at least one of any decor
item increases your house experience,
which levels up your house and unlocks
more perks. So, instead of guessing what
you're missing or where to find it,
homebound does all the heavy lifting for
you. For endeavors, I'm using Vamose's
endeavors. Shows how much XP you've
collected because there is a certain XP
cap on each endeavor. You can keep track
of your weekly to-do list, and
generally, this add-on makes it easier
to take part in them. There is even a
contribution leaderboard, so you can see
who's carrying the endeavor and who has
been slacking. That's fun, especially if
you are in a guild or charter
neighborhood, so you can compete with
your friends. Oh, and I haven't even
told you the best part. As a fun little
bonus, every time you finish a task,
this adorable squirrel pops up to cheer
you on. It's such a tiny, goofy touch,
but it really adds a bit of charm to
those repetitive chores you end up doing
again and again. I mean, who doesn't
want their own personal house squirrel
cheering them on while they grind house
XP? Now, if you take part at all in the
endeavors or just keep track of them,
you'll notice that when the progress bar
reaches a milestone, the endeavor vendor
unlocks more decor for you. The
interesting thing though that you might
not know is that the vendor goodies
unlock for everyone else and not just
the neighborhood members. That means you
can, yes, visit other neighborhoods and
grab all the goodies their vendor has to
offer. And that's where the next add-on
comes in to speed things up. Endeavor
Simple Progress Tracker. This add-on
shows you exactly which endeavor is
active in each neighborhood and how far
along it is. You'll see the endeavor
type and how many milestones have been
achieved just by taking a look at the
House Finder. In case you don't know,
House Finder can be found either through
the housing UI or by speaking to the
steward in the town center. From there,
just look for the public neighborhoods
that have fully completed their
endeavors, head in, grab what you need
from the vendor, and you are done. No
guesswork at all, no having to run
around to just check for yourself. It
just makes the whole process smoother
and saves you a lot of hassle. Okay,
moving on, another great add-on to have
is Plumber. It packs so many quality of
life improvements that if I tried to go
through everything, we'd be here all
day. So, I'll just focus on housing. The
in default decor preview has a weird
angle and doesn't really show items
properly, but Plumber fixes that. You
can even use a banana for scale. Yes, a
banana, which kind of sounds funny, but
I mean, who doesn't roughly know how big
a banana is? Anyway, it offers uh many,
many more improvements like in advanced
edit mode, you can copy items by
pressing alt, and you can transfer dyes
between objects. It's small tweaks like
these that make decorating well less
frustrating and a lot more fun. It even
has a clock while you're editing, so you
don't completely lose track of time,
which happens way too often more than I
care to admit. And believe it or not,
we've made it to the final add-on for
today. And yes, I saved the best one for
last because it's one of my newest
additions. Now, I know some of you
prefer running fewer add-ons. Maybe it's
maintenance, maybe it's performance, or
maybe you just like keeping things
simple. I get it, and if that's you,
then enhanced quality of life might be
precisely what you're looking for. What
this does, it basically bundles a load
of small quality of life features into
one add-on. So, instead of installing
five or 10 separate add-ons, you might
just use this one. And just like with
Plumber, I can't possibly list
everything it does. It probably deserves
its own dedicated video. But I'll run
through a few key tools to give you a
good idea of what it can do. And yeah,
that's a lot. For example, I use button
sync to group all my minimum buttons
under one clean icon. Before this, I
actually had a whole separate add-on
just for that. It keeps everything so
much organized, and that's just one
feature. It even has the whole questing
auto accept and auto turn in, auto
vendoring, though personally, I think
I'll stick with Leatrix Plus for that.
On top of this, you can also see your
item level right on your character panel
slot. You can see missing a chance and
see your gems. One of my favorite
helpful tools is the mouse circle and
trail. You can enable a circle around
your cursor, and what I really like the
most is that you can add a trail that
follows it. And on top of this, you can
change how it looks. This is an amazing
thing to have in the heat of combat when
it's easy to lose track of your cursor.
I don't know about you, but I've been
missing my cursor for as long as I can
remember. I have it enabled only in
combat because that's where I have the
most issue, but if you prefer, you can
keep it on all the time. This add-on
comes packed with options, so you can
turn off anything you don't need and
keep only what you actually use. And
yeah, that pretty much wraps up my
midnight add-on setup. Of course,
add-ons are very personal. What works
for me might not work for you, but
hopefully this list gave you some ideas.
I'd love to hear from you. Let me know
if you found anything new from this list
and share your top add-ons that you
absolutely cannot live without. Also,
feel free to tell me what other midnight
videos you'd like to see. As always,
thank you so much for sticking around
until the very end and make sure to drop
a like if you have found this video
helpful. Don't forget to subscribe for
more wild coverage and hit the bell to

you're doing and I'll see you in the
next one. Bye.
