RestedXP vs Guidelime for WoW Forever

Which addon fits your leveling setup?

Pick RestedXP if you want to buy its named Forever guide and can accept that the product is not finished. Pick Guidelime if you want a free addon and are comfortable creating or importing guide data while its Forever support develops.

For the paid route's current listing and scope, start with RestedXP's WoW Forever overview. The RestedXP purchase check lays out what its incomplete status means before you pay. This is a choice about access and readiness; the sources reviewed here do not establish which addon levels faster.

What differs between the route models?

The free-addon distinction matters. RestedXP's Forever product page calls its in-game addon free and lists the paid guide separately. Guidelime's listing documents guide creation and importing, but it does not establish whether any particular imported guide is free, paid, complete, or Forever-ready.

What did Guidelime's v6.000 release add?

The CurseForge listing names a WoW Forever v6.000 file, and the GitHub release notes describe its Forever work as initial. Guidelime's README still describes full Forever support as future work, with guides being worked on. Those statements can both be true: a first support release is not the same claim as complete route coverage.

A separately captured September 22 commit reads: "Added races and zones from QuestieDB forever branch, not tested yet." That is a project note about data being added, not confirmation that complete routes run in the Forever client.

If you use Guidelime, check the exact guide you intend to import. The saved source records confirm an addon release and a support statement, not a current catalog of completed Forever routes. The WoW Forever leveling addons guide puts Guidelime beside other free helpers and the paid route products.

When does paying for RestedXP make sense?

RestedXP is the clearer fit if you prefer a vendor-authored route with a posted price over assembling guide data yourself. That does not make it a finished purchase: the product page says it is not yet fully complete, and the roadmap puts level 35 to 60 routes after launch. Check the included coverage before ordering.

If your main question is how its paid model compares with another paid guide, see RestedXP vs Zygor for WoW Forever. That is a separate comparison; it does not verify Guidelime's guide packs or either product's speed.

What remains unverified?

The retained sources do not show a complete inventory of Guidelime Forever guide packs, their level ranges, or their route coverage. We also have not installed or tested either addon in the Forever client. The comparison therefore does not name a speed winner or treat a listed addon file as proof that every route works.

That is the useful dividing line: compare the actual guide data you can access, not just the addon names. If the route itself matters more than the download, verify its faction, level range, and current status before you choose.
