Hybrid Questie build for Project Epoch on the 3.3.5a (WotLK 12340) client. It combines:
- Aldori15/Questie (335 branch) — the WotLK 3.3.5a port of the Classic Questie addon.
- Bennylavaa/pfQuest-epoch — the pfQuest database of Project Epoch custom content (new NPCs, objects, items and quests).
The pfQuest-epoch data is translated into Questie's native schema at load time and merged into the base Wrath database, so Project Epoch's custom quests show up on the world map, minimap, tracker and tooltips the same way Blizzard quests do.
Warning
Highly experimental. The pfQuest-epoch dataset is incomplete and evolves quickly, and the runtime translation layer has not seen extensive testing. Expect missing coords, wrong pre-quest chains, misplaced icons, occasional lua errors and other rough edges. Use at your own risk. If you find bugs please open an issue — but please do not bother the upstream Questie or pfQuest-epoch maintainers with problems that only exist in this fork.
This 3.3.5a / Project Epoch mix was put together by Neticsoul, but all the heavy lifting belongs to the upstream projects. This repository only glues them together.

- Download this repository as a zip.
- Extract it into
Interface/AddOns/. The folder must be namedQuestie-335-Epoch(the zip from GitHub will unpack asquestie-335-epoch-mainor similar — rename it). - Remove any previous
QuestieorQuestie-335folder fromInterface/AddOns/to avoid conflicts. - Launch the 3.3.5a client. On first login Questie will print "Questie DB has updated!" and recompile. After a few seconds you should see a line like
[Questie-Epoch] added N quests, N NPCs, N objects, N items. - Enjoy.
After replacing the folder, force a recompile once:
/run Questie.db.global.dbIsCompiled=false; ReloadUI()
or, if icons still look wrong, reset the saved variables of Questie in your WTF folder.
epoch/data/— raw pfQuest-epoch data tables (units, objects, items, quests).epoch/enUS/— enUS names / titles / descriptions from pfQuest-epoch.Database/Epoch/EpochPreamble.lua— bootstraps thepfDBglobal that the raw files populate.Database/Epoch/EpochDB.lua— translates pfDB into Questie's native schema (startedBy,finishedBy,objectives,spawns,requiredRaces, …) without overwriting any existing WotLK entry, then frees the temporary pfDB global.
The merge happens inside Questie's normal init flow, right between LoadBaseDB and QuestieCorrections:Initialize, so all Questie features (tracker, tooltips, waypoints, journey log, search) work on Epoch quests too.
Questie's schema version was bumped so existing installs recompile once on first launch.
- Only entries absent from the base WotLK DB are added. Epoch overrides of existing vanilla/TBC/WotLK quests are currently ignored.
- Quest descriptions are taken from pfQuest-epoch when available; when absent, Questie falls back to its auto-generated objective text.
requiredSkill, reputations and many flags are only partially mapped — some quests may appear as available when they actually aren't.- No localization beyond enUS for Epoch content (base Questie translations are unaffected).
To keep a single source of truth, any improvement or fix to pfQuest-epoch database content must be proposed first in the original pfQuest-epoch repository.
This project may consume upstream database updates, but should not maintain separate local database divergences.
