Getting started

Getting started

After Install, use this path to get a working setup quickly.

Open the hub

In chat, type:

  • /1w

That toggles the OneWoW hub window: portals, settings, and a section menu for every feature you have enabled.

First-run wizard

On a fresh install, OneWoW can open a feature picker so you choose which modules to load. The same panel lives under hub settings as Manage Features.

  • Re-open Manage Features anytime from the Home section link, or Settings → Manage Features
  • You can change your mind later — enabling or disabling modules is normal

Manage Features

Open Manage Features from the hub (Home link or Settings):

  • Turn on only what you use (Bags, QoL, AltTracker, Catalog, and so on)
  • A disabled module is unloaded, not merely hidden — less overhead, cleaner UI
  • For Catalog and AltTracker, keep their companion OneWoW_CatDB_* / AltTracker_* folders installed; they feed the parent feature and have no separate player UI of their own. Turning Catalog off also stops those Catalog packs from loading. Turn an expansion on to use it on every Catalog tab. Opening Zones, NPCs, Quests, or Item Search loads that data. Catalog data is one addon per expansion, plus Other and Tradeskills.
  • Notes lists OneWay Pins under Notes so you can turn that feature off without unloading Notes.

Configure each enabled addon from its hub tab or its slash command.

What the core hub already does

Even with no optional modules, OneWoW includes:

  • Portal hub — teleports, portals, and hearthstones in one place (favorites, filters, one-click use)
  • Item status on hover — collections, item level, junk, protected, quest, crafting, transmog, bind type, and more
  • Collection toasts — alerts when you loot an uncollected collectible (and when you learn mounts, pets, or toys), plus gear-upgrade toasts when those features are on
  • Enhanced tooltips — collection status, notes, tracking hints, recipe status, categories. Vendor price and Item Tracker (where it is / where to get it) are configurable under tooltip settings. Source lines show when that Catalog pack is already loaded.
  • Title-bar search — type a setting name or a short question in the hub search box to jump to that page (for example popup pins)
  • Shared themes across OneWoW windows
  • Eleven locales — in-game text follows your WoW client language
  • Update notice — if someone near you has a newer OneWoW, chat, a popup, and Home Needs attention tell you. Update via CurseForge or onewow.net.
  • Back and Forward — title-bar arrows remember the last few sections and tabs you opened this session, plus the quest, NPC, or vendor you were on. Closing the window starts a fresh trail.

Suggested first session

  1. Run the wizard / Manage Features and enable the modules you care about.
  2. Glance at hub settings for theme and tooltip preferences.
  3. If you use Bags, open them and try a simple search (full guide: Bags, Search syntax).
  4. Bookmark Slash commands for quick opens later.
