RestedXP Settings Guide for WoW Forever: Arrow, Automation and XP Slider

Most RestedXP settings can stay on their defaults in WoW Forever; the ones worth checking are the arrow, quest automation, "Show Group Quests", "Skip overleveled steps" and the "Experience rates" slider. Open them with /rxp or under Options > AddOns > RestedXP Guides. This page lists the settings by what they change, with the exact names the addon uses in version 4.11.36 (11 November 2026), so you can find each one quickly.

How we checked: setting names and descriptions are quoted from the RestedXP Guides source code (SettingsPanel.lua, v4.11.36), compared with the release notes and RestedXP's help center on 13 November 2026. If a name in your game differs, you are on another version or a translated client; see "Translated clients" below.

Arrow and waypoints

• Hide waypoint arrow: if the arrow has vanished, this is usually why. Turn it off.
• Reset Arrow Position: puts the arrow back in the middle of the screen after you dragged it away.
• Arrow Scale and Arrow Text Size: make the arrow and the distance text larger.
• Map Pin Scale: the size of RestedXP's markers on the map.

If the arrow points the wrong way, another addon is often moving the waypoint. RestedXP's own help lists Leatrix Maps, TomTom, SilverDragon and TotemTimers as having known incompatibilities with its arrow; our RestedXP not working page walks through the fix.

Automation

The Automation section saves the most clicks:

• Quest auto accept/turn in: accepts and hands in route quests for you. The addon notes that holding Control toggles it for that interaction. If Questie or Leatrix Plus also automate quests, leave automation on in only one addon; see RestedXP vs Questie.
• Flight Path automation: "allows the guide to automatically fly you to your destination" when you talk to a flight master.
• Skip Gossip: skips NPC dialogue that the route doesn't need.
• Hearthstone batching: automates the innkeeper prompt so you can set your home in the same server tick you teleport away. It is a speedrunning trick; leave it off if it confuses you.
• Auto Sell Junk: sells grey items, and anything you mark as junk, at a vendor. "Reset Junk List" clears your list.

Guide routing

These settings change which steps the route shows. Set them before you start a chapter, because the addon warns that some changes can break quest prerequisites mid-guide.

• Show Group Quests: keeps elite group quests in the route. RestedXP's 9 October 2026 Forever update says some added Alliance quests appear only with it on. Turn it on if you level with friends, off when solo.
• Skip overleveled steps: drops steps you are now too high a level for.
• Skip quests with missing pre-requisites: drops follow-ups when you skipped the first part.
• Disable step skips: the opposite: "ignores any kind of condition that causes a step to auto skip".
• Dungeons: with the Dungeon Guide selected, tick the optional dungeons you want, or use Select Recommended Dungeons. Since v4.11.36 the Forever configurator shows Required and Optional dungeons as separate lists. Our RestedXP Dungeon Guide page lists them.

The experience slider

Experience rates tells the route how much bonus experience you have, so it can skip what is no longer efficient. In the v4.11.36 code the slider runs from 1x to 2x on clients other than Retail, in 5% steps, and the addon warns that going above 1x "may cause some chapters to become hidden". RestedXP's help center explains that this is deliberate: inefficient chapters are removed and steps are added to the start of the next chapter to catch you up.

In WoW Forever, bonus XP comes from rested XP, camping and other buffs listed in our XP buffs guide. Most of these are temporary, so most players should leave the slider at 1x. If whole sections of the route seem to vanish, check this slider first.

Targeting

RestedXP can find quest mobs and NPCs for you:

• Enable Active Target Frame: a small frame listing the current step's targets.
• Create Targeting Macro: builds a macro that targets them; bind it to a key.
• Mark Enemy Targets and Mark Friendly Targets: raid markers on targets (in groups you need to be the leader).
• Notify on new target: a sound when a new target is loaded.

Window, font and minimap

• Window Scale and Guide Font Size: make the step list easier to read. Font changes the typeface.
• Lock Frames: stops dragging and resizing; Alt+left-click on the main window still resizes it.
• Reset Window Position: brings the window back if it is off-screen.
• Enable Minimap Button: left-click it to show the window, right-click for the guide menu.

New in November: loot sparkles

Version 4.11.36 (11 November 2026) added Show Object Sparkles. The option only appears on the WoW Forever client and needs a UI reload after you change it. If you dislike the sparkle effect on objects, this is where to turn it off.

Group play

Enable Group Settings unlocks the party options: shared step progress (Active Party Step v2 (Beta)), Follow Party Leader Target, and announcements to the group. If you level with friends who all use RestedXP, turn it on together with Show Group Quests. Our duo leveling guide covers the rest.

Translated clients

If your game runs in German, French or Simplified Chinese, many settings are translated. For example, "Hide waypoint arrow" is "Blendet den Pfeil aus" in German, "Cacher la flèche GPS" in French and "隐藏路径点箭头" in Chinese. Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese clients show most settings in English. Our language pages explain how the guide chapters follow your client language: RestedXP setup.

Resetting everything

Reset Guide Progress clears progress for the current character only and asks for confirmation; completed quests stay completed, and the guide skips them again. If you only want to change route, open the guide menu instead and pick another chapter. New to RestedXP? Install it first with our setup guide, and see what is free before you buy.
