How to install the guide
Two minutes, no tools, no account. The guide is one Lua file: it adds a new group to the RXPGuides add-on you already use.
Before you start
- The free RXPGuides add-on installed and working in WoW Forever.
- Your game folder open. The default is C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_forever_.
1. Unzip the download
You get two files:
2. Put the file in the guide folder
Open the RXP guide folder and copy azaraB-Mage-Guide.lua into it:
That folder already exists if RXP is installed — it is the one holding Alliance-11-20.lua and Alliance-ADV-AoE-Mage-1-22.lua. If you cannot see a forever folder, your RXP is out of date: update it first.
3. Reload the game
Type /reload in chat, or restart the client. The add-on only reads new guide files on load.
4. Pick the guide
Type /rxp, open the guide picker and look for the group azaraB Mage Guide — it sits at the top of the list.
- Mage AoE 1-21 — start here. Quest route, AoE from level 14.
- Mage AoE Camps 21-60 — the camping route, if you would rather grind than quest.
Pick one, and every following guide loads by itself. You never choose the next zone.
Test it in ten seconds
With the guide open, the RXP window should show a green arrow and a step like “Accept A Threat Within”. Drag the level slider in the preview on the home page to see what each level expects, or just read the first step in game.
If something goes wrong
- No group in the picker. The file is in the wrong folder, or the name was changed. It must be exactly azaraB-Mage-Guide.lua inside Guides\forever\.
- The group is there but empty. You are playing Horde, or not a Mage. The guide is Alliance Mage only.
- Steps show but the arrow points nowhere. The 1–21 half uses Forever quest IDs. On a Classic Era client the quests will not match.
- Nothing at all loads. Another guide file with the same guide names is installed twice. Delete the older copy and reload.
- Still stuck. Message hello@mageaoe.com with the folder screenshot and the RXP version line.
Updating later
Download the new file and overwrite the old one, then /reload. Your progress is stored by the add-on, and the guide names never change, so you continue exactly where you stopped.
