FAQ
Questions we get most often on Discord and the boards. Can’t find yours? Ask on the Q&A board or Discord.
Install · Update How do I install it?
The easiest way is the CurseForge app: search "Forever Assist" and install. The app also keeps it updated.
If you have the install package (…-install.zip), unzip it and double-click install.bat. It finds your WoW folder for you.
If the game was running, type /reload in chat.
Install · Update How do I update?
Press [Update] in the CurseForge app. New versions are announced in Discord #patch-notes and on this site.
After updating, restart the game or type /reload.
Settings Where are the settings?
Click the Forever Assist minimap button or type /fa.
The first tabs — [Easy settings], [Easy settings 2], [Easy settings 3] — hold the most used features as big switches. Detailed options are in the tabs after them.
Settings Can I turn off everything on one page at once?
Press [Turn off this page] at the top of the settings window.
Changed your mind? [Undo] right next to it restores them.
Chat · Alerts When I use some skills in a party, "… used!" appears in chat. How do I turn it off?
That is the "Big cooldown party alert". It tells your party when you use important skills like Shield Wall or Nature’s Swiftness.
Turn off: /fa → [Combat Tools] tab → "Party tools" → uncheck [Big cooldown party alert]
Or type /fa party 알림 (type again to turn it back on)
Chat · Alerts Too many [Forever Assist] messages in chat
/fa → [Easy settings 3] → turn on [Fewer chat messages]. Only important messages remain.
Chat · Alerts Can I change the party greeting text or send it a bit later?
/fa → [Easy settings 4]: write your own greeting and set a 0–10 sec wait before greeting. (1.60.0+)
[Vary a little] changes the wait by about ±1 sec each time. [Preview] shows it only to you first.
To stop greeting, turn off [Party greeting]. Join greetings and welcomes can be turned off separately.
Quests Quests disappeared from the tracker on the right
When [Tracker: hide other zones] is on, only quests for your current zone are shown. They come back when you go there.
Turn off: /fa → [Easy settings 2] → [Tracker: hide other zones], or /fa quest zoneonly
1.59.2 fixed starting-area quests (e.g. Shadowglen) being hidden by mistake. Please update.
Quests Where do I pick up a quest?
Use /fa findquest <name>. Part of the name or the quest giver’s name also works.
[Show on map · Guide] puts a map pin and an arrow to lead you there.
Screen How do I turn the clean screen (bottom layout) on or off?
/fa → [Easy settings 3] → "Screen layout" → [Clean screen (bottom layout)].
Turning it off restores your original layout. Confirm the UI reload when asked. It can’t change during combat.
Screen How do I swap bags on the clean screen?
Open your bags: the bag slot bar appears right above the bag window. Drag the new bag onto a slot. (1.59.3+)
The [Bags] text on the top bar also opens your bags.
Screen The distance number on the target frame is too small / in the wrong place
Type /fa range adjust to open the adjust window and change size and height with buttons.
To hide it: /fa → [Easy settings 2] → turn off [Distance number box].
Combat The weapon enchant timer on my class bar is distracting (Shaman · Rogue)
In the /fa gauge adjust window choose [Always] · [Only when 5 min left] · [Hidden] for the weapon enchant.
Combat "No Battle Shout!" shows even though I have the buff
1.59.2 fixed the false warnings. Please update.
If you don’t want the warning: /fa → [Combat Tools] → class gauge → turn off [Missing warning].
Still wrong? Type /fa gauge diag in combat and send us a screenshot on Discord.
Combat Can I note players I don’t want to group with?
Right-click their name → [Add to watch list] and write a reason.
You’ll be alerted when they invite, whisper or join your party. List: /fa watch list (saved only on your PC)
Contact Something is broken or acts strangely
Tell us on Discord or the bug board on this site. A screenshot helps a lot.
/fa shot in game saves a screenshot to your Screenshots folder after 1 second.
