Monthly fee doesn’t include Wow classic, right?

No, just Retail.

[Ozzi]

The classic guides are separate and will require you to purchase the package “Dugi In-Game Guides WoW Classic”

[Ozzi]

They are there, Leveling > Shadowlands > Venthyr Coveant Campaign (60+)

I Suggest to re visit your Dugi Guides Installer and ensure that your username and password is entered correctly, should say on main screen Welcome, megnar!

[Ozzi]

@sockhatabe the use of btwquests is not intended to make Dugi Guides obsolete, it can be used along side to ensure certain quests are completed in order, you have met the prerequisites without having to ALT + TAB or switch monitors to a website if you have more than one monitor. I use it all the time, I am currently on my Horde Vulpera hunter getting the How to Train Your Direhorn achievement, rewards the Child of Torcali mount, worth doing if you haven’t done it yet.
BtwQuests is also useful in your situation too, keep that in mind.

[Ozzi]

On your level 60 character, the first thing should be the Covenant Campaigns, get them done 9/9 the guide will help you with that.

Kyrian is the only covenant that has a dungeon step, it’s super easy, queue and follow the tank and dps w/e the tank is attacking.

After the Covenant Campaigns start Korthia. Within that quest line you will unlock mounts in The Maw (no flight), Unlock flight in the 4 zones, Ardenweald, Maldraxxus, Revendreth and Bastion. You can’t fly your mount between these zones.

Once you have completed Korthia, You can then start on Zereth Mortis, complete the Campaigns in that zone. You are welcome to add me to Discord – Ozzi#9217 and Battle.net – Ozzi#11426, again, if you are NA (North Amarican servers) I can help you get flight in that zone.

Everything else is all completely up to you, there’s dungeons, raids to explore.
There’s a guide to unlock Taza’vesh, this is not queue-able in the dungeon finder, It’s revisiting the original dungeon days in vanilla wow, make a party of friends / guild mates and run to the entrance.

You can simply jump on an alt and level that character up, I suggest to try Threads of Fate. War Mode if you don’t mind PVP, and full set of heirlooms if you have them and upgraded. 5/5 or 3/3 for some rings.

The guides do very well considering the constant headache blizzard does to addons not able to track in certain zones, its easy to avoid the alternate route, pay attention to what zone you picked and proceed from there, read the descriptions in the steps, these should tell you “Travel to Bastion”, don’t go to the Stormwind Portal or Orgrimmar Portal, head to the transfer pad, get up to Ring of Transference and head to the flight master, select the Aspirant’s Rest or Hero’s Rest in Bastion. If you are doing Bastion, I’m using this as an example Proceed with the rest of the guide.
Same thing applies for other zones, speak to the flight master in Ring of Transference and select the zone you chose, click the flight master point there.

Level up your professions, get these to max level fast as you can, Start collecting plans for your professions, there are guides out there that outlines the exact ones to aim for, you can make them and sell them on the auction house, another way to make gold, be warned, there’s a lot of competition, meaning, people will undercut your auction. There’s addons that help with the auction house sales.

I thought I would provide more of a thorough explanation of what a fresh level 60 should do, at least the first few steps, the rest is up to you.

There’s a lot you can do in World of Warcraft, there’s other content from other expansions, most are still enjoyable.
You can work on Achievements, collect Mounts, Pets, list goes on.

[Ozzi]

If you have done the story on a character and made it to level 60, you can level your alt’s using the Threads of Fate method, super fast and super easy.

Tips: Use War Mode gives you extra XP, full set of Heirlooms, gives you 30% rested XP.

In a way in defense for dugi guides addon, Blizzard has made it super hard for addons to track in specific locations, this is probably why when the addon is telling you to go to Stormwind Portal or Orgimmar Portal to go to Oribos, even though you are in Oribos.
At this stage, take the Transporter pad to the Ring of Transference, (upper level) and then head on over to the Flight Master and go to the map you need to go.
Threads of Fate guides tells you to go to Oribos once you’re finished a zone. I usually stay in that map a little bit longer and take flight to the next map, once you enter that map you get the quest automatically.

Sing out if this is confusing.
Are you EU or US wow client? Prehaps I can help in-game, you are welcome to use my contact info in this thread you posted in https://www.dugiguides.com/forum/discussion/1243/tough-as-silk-quest#latest

[Ozzi]

The point of the above mentioned addons suggested is mostly looking / fixating on the Prerequisites, if you have taken the time to read. Each story line has Prerequisites to meet before you can run there, kill 3 rats and hand in the quest. And further more it was pointed to vamp65 and his issue.

[Ozzi]

I am sorry for the late reply.
Is this for the main quest line? Alliance and Horde?

[Ozzi]

If it’s for all client’s can you please show some screenshots and video of this happening on all clients please.

[Ozzi]

I am sorry, I can’t seem to replicate this issue, even though I still don’t know the answers to the questions I asked. Can you please answer them?

[Ozzi]

I am so sorry, I missed this thread.

What client is this for? retail, classic, tbc classic
What arrow system are you using? Icon Arrow (new style) or the old one (Icon Arrow un-checked)
Are you able to provide a screenshot or short video, you can use free fraps, bandicam or Driver record, both AMD has Adrenalin Edition and Nvidia has a feature in their Geforce Experience, no matter how you record, ensure its clear and shows an example of the issue. It’s not because I don’t believe you, it’s to help work out what could be the likely cause.

You can also upload the short clip to something like youtube and choose private, once it’s uploaded 100% create a invite link and paste it in to this forum thread.

I know how annoying it can be to “lock” fix it to your desired place and it won’t stay there.

[Ozzi]

Another way to do this is to edit the DugisGuideViewerZ.toc and look for #Record.lua and then delete the #, save and load up World of Warcraft. At the Character select screen, select a character, ensure that all addons are disabled except dugi guides, reason being, to free up resources and to minimize clutter etc.

Log in to the game with the chosen character.

Type in /dgr limit should output in the chat frame “Dugis Unbound Quest Record Limit”

From now on when ever you accept a quest / world quest it will list out the steps as follows

N Pool of Potions |QID|58431| |N|(npc:157945) in {House of Plagues} (59.13, 73.85)| |Z|1536| |NPC|157945|

You will see them when you type /dgr the window should appear, presented with enable check box and Clear Record button, below is the recorded information.
You can interact with it using the mouse and the up down left right direction keys, You can select text and then ctrl + c and paste in to your favorite editor, I use a combination of coders, however it all depends on what code youre coding, for .lua based stuff Notepad++ or Atom from atom.io or Microsoft Visual Code these are all free and they seem very nice, there’s at least a whole arms length of others that you can use.
This recorder simplifies things, it also tracks used items such as quest items, consumables, toys, trinkets etc keep that in mind when tidying it all up.
What I men by tiding it all up is, copying the recorded data and pasting it in to your favorite editor, then saving it as a record1.txt and then pasting it in to your guide.
You now start adding tags, etc.

[Ozzi]

So for personal guides, you’d want to keep the folder structure on a separate drive or github or bitbucket etc. because whenever Dugi releases an update, the work you did will be gone, until of course you add the folders/files back and make the necessary edits.

You have my discord username and I wont mind it if you add me and pop questions my way

[Ozzi]

I also would like to explain the modules a little bit more. The “header” is a piece of code to register the module. This is the “header” of the module.

local Guide = DugisGuideViewer:RegisterModule("DugisGuide_Ach_Shadowlands_Eternitys_End")
function Guide:Initialize()
	function Guide:Load()DugisGuideViewer:RegisterGuide({"|cffffd200Shadowlands|r", "|cffffd200Zereth Mortis|r"}, "Eternity's End Questline (60)", nil, nil, nil, "A", "nil", function()
return cffffd200Shadowlands|r", "|cffffd200Zereth Mortis|r"}, "Eternity's End Questline (60)", nil, nil, nil, "A", "nil", function()

1. Title this is the “Eternity’s End Questline (60)”,

This is the guide title indicating that its a questline for level 60.

2. Guide category “A” this can be L (leveling) D (dailies) A (achievement) E (events) M (maps)
So, for a speed leveling guide, it would have an “L”

3. This line

({"|cffffd200Shadowlands|r", "|cffffd200Zereth Mortis|r"},

or

("|cffffd200Shadowlands|r", "|cffffd200Zereth Mortis|r",

Is for the main menu path’s, each module should contain this exactly to avoid multiple variants.

The guide is added within [[ and starting with N commonly, else if in game the icon is not appearing correctly you’d use C, B or K or override tags |V| (vehicle) or |T| (bag) etc.

Commenting out is usually –, anything after that on the same line will be ignored.

There are some new tags that I should mention, they include

|COV|1| 0 = none, 1 = Kyrian, 2 = Venthyr, 3 = Nightfae, 4 = Necrolord

or

|COV|Kyrian| |COV|Venthyr| |COV|Nightfae| |COV|Necrolord| it’s pretty simple, if you’re not in Kyrian Covenant, you won’t see that step.

|CHOICE| Starts with something like (choice:1:Shadow)<br/>(choice:2:Holy)<br/>(choice:3:Discipline)

If player clicks (choice:1:Shadow) then all steps with |CHOICE|1| will become active.
Lines would be:
A Some quest |QID|12345| |N|(npc:154236) in {Some Random Place} (52.45, 65.36) |Z|1526| |NPC|154236| |CHOICE|1|

A Some quest |QID|13265| |N|(npc:124589) in {Another Random Place} (78.98, 85.62)| |Z|154236| |NPC|124589| |CHOICE|2|

etc.

We use |REACH| for some steps, like this one from Chains of Domination guide.

Example:

N Return to Oribos |QID|64014| |N|Jump into the portal (59.01, 22.84)| |Z|1971| |REACH|44.95,40.99,1543| |MAP|1543|

This is for when the player enters a portal etc.

I also urge you to open some of these guides up and take a long look at them to see what’s been used.

Useful tags to use:

<b> is a bullet

<horde> is Horde logo

<alliance> is Alliance logo

<g> is a gold coin

<s> is a silver coin

<c> is a copper coin

<color:ff142e>Text here</c> Colors the text to be the chosen color code. To get these codes, use Free Color Picker app for Windows or ColorSlurp app for Mac or ColorPickerPlus (wow addon).

(cur:1245) Shows the currency icon and tooltips

Of course the following will help link in steps.

(item:12345) Shows item info and tooltips

(aid:12345) Shows achievement info and tooltips

(fac:12345) Shows faction info and tooltips

(qid:12345) Shows quest info and tooltips

[Ozzi]

Hi eivl, You can find all the information with in README file within every release, it does cover how these modules work and explains what the tags are and what they do.
further more I can help with you further if you get stuck, Discord Ozzi#9217

R (run) is used for travel to.. in which can be F (fly) or b (boat) or H (hearth)

T is turn in quest

A is accept quest

N is note, this is used pretty much all the time.

f is get flight master, usually indicated with a green !

As for NPC id’s you can use this macro script

/dump UnitName("target"), UnitGUID("target")

Simply target the NPC and then click the macro in the action bar. the output will be in the chat, will look something like this

"Hogger", "Creature-0-1465-0-2105-448-000043F59F"

As you can see in the above, npc’s name is Hogger and it’s ID is 448.

another macro script you can use is for MapID or rather |Z| tag

/run local mapID = C_Map.GetBestMapForUnit("player"); print(format("You are in %s (%d)", C_Map.GetMapInfo(mapID).name, mapID))

When you click on the macro in the action bar, the output will be in the chat and will look something like this

You are in Stormwind City (84)

The map name is Stormwind City and the ID is 84 the tag will be |Z|84|

The quest ID’s are found by using wowhead, you can also use another addon Leatrix Plus, there’s a setting in there that you can tick “show wowhead links” so when you click on show more details on a quest, at the top it will show a link with a id at the end.

The modules are usually saved in a meaningful way, example Zerth Mortis is called 2 names Secrets of the First ones and Eternity’s End, in which the file would be like Eternitys_End.lua. As long as you retain the header and footer explained in the README file.

Next is to load that module, world of warcraft loads these with .xml, most folders at present (05/05/2022) has a Guides.xml file, these would be DugisGuide_ach_xxx

The .xml should look like this

<Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/">    
    <Script file="ozzis_awesome_guide.lua"/>
</Ui>

However to simplify this, you can make your own folder say Ozzis_Guides, put all my guide modules in that folder, place the .xml in side it.

Next you would need to edit the .toc file, Find DugisGuideViewerZ.toc and find # Guides, anywhere in this section add the .xml path and file name.

E.G. Ozzis_Gudiesguides.xml

For more information or guidance you got Dugi, contact info is in the Support section, and you got me, my discord info is above in this post. I wish you the best of luck.
