How to install RestedXP for WoW Forever

Before you start

You need the Forever Leveling Guide on your RestedXP account: Horde, Alliance, or both factions. Prices and the roadmap are on RestedXP's WoW Forever guide page. RestedXP says the product is not yet fully complete, so expect routes to arrive in updates.

The addon itself is free; what RestedXP gives away for free explains where the paid part starts.

Step 1: install the addon

RestedXP's first step: "If you have an older version of RestedXP installed, delete the addon in your addon folder. Now, download the latest version of the addon."

Get it from RestedXP's download page, CurseForge or GitHub. On CurseForge, pick the file marked WoW Forever. On September 28 that was v4.11.11.

Step 2: connect your Battle.net ID

RestedXP binds purchased guides to one player: "Your RestedXP guides are now bound to your account and Battle.net-ID. You are the only person that can access and use your guides."

Add your Battle.net ID in the account section of RestedXP's site before you export anything. A missing or wrong ID causes two of the three import errors below.

Step 3: import the guide in game

In RestedXP's words: open Downloads in your account section, click "Export" to download the string file, copy the whole string, then "Right click the addon overlay in-game and select 'Import guide' to open the import window."

You only need to be online for that first import. RestedXP's Help Center says the addon detects your Battle.net login after that, and that you go online again to import later updates.

Import errors and fixes

These are the three errors RestedXP's Help Center lists as most common. For bugs in the addon itself, RestedXP has a separate bug report page; its contact form is for account and payment questions.
