About FastQuest Classic
FastQuest Classic is originally called "FastQuest" and is written by Vashen. Vashen has left WoW after he released FastQuest 2.11. Then I picked it up and try to fixed some minor issues. Since that, FastQuest is released with version number like 2.11.1, 2.11.2, 2.11.3, etc.
When the TBC was going to be released in US and Europe, Vashen was back and he decided to continue the implementation. Vashen started the new FastQuest with version number 3.x and is supported with Titan and Fubar.
There are some players still love the classic FastQuest, including me. So I decide to rename the addon name to "FastQuest Classic" and is started from version 2.11.207.
Summary
This is an alternative to heavy duty add-ons like MonkeyQuest, Quest-I-On, etc. The difference is that the code is much smaller and faster, since it uses Blizzard's build-in components enhancing and improving them. But it does not have full set of features those addons offer, so try them and decide what is best for you!
Installation
Unpack the ZIP file to WoW\Interface\AddOns\ Make sure the folder name is "FastQuest_Classic"
Features
- Enhances Blizzard's Quest-Tracker! Automatically add current quests to QuestTracker and removes them when they complete. It will also reload your quests back if you log out and back in. This option is on by default and can be toggled by /fq autoadd. You can use RightClick or Shift+click Quest Names to Add/Remove quests manually. (/fq clear will remove all quest from the tracker)
- Adds formatting options for Shift+LeftClick / Crtl+LeftClick / Ctrl+RightClick into chat use /fq format to cycle though them. Allows "[10+] QuestName", "[10] QuestName (Elite)", etc
- Quests in Quest-Tracker are displayed in color that is based on difficulty. There are now over 20 shades of colors from bright green to bright red that are used to denote quest and monster difficulty. Quest that would be come trivial next level is highlighted giving you chance to complete it while it still yields exp.
- Automatically notify your party/guild/raid/people near of your quest progress (example: Thistle Boar Slain 5/7), this option is off by default and can be toggled by /fq autonotify
- Allows you to insert quest objectives of the selected quest into the chat. Open the chatbox and right click on the quest name. (check the screenshot above.) Control click on the quest name also lists objectives but in the shorter form, the way they are displayed in quest tracker.
- Allows QuestTracker window to be draged anywhere on the screen(use "/fq unlock" to enable draging and you can "/fq lock" to lock it in place). Dragging is enabled by default and it's side effect is removal of textwrap. So if you want to disable dragging use "/fq nodrag" followed by "/console reloadui"
- Automatically complete turn-in quests such as the once in AV that you have to turn in one by one. When you right click on the NPC to turn in quest FQ will click "Continue" and "Complete Quest" buttons for you, but will stop to let you pick reward if choice is given. The down side is that you will not be able to read what NPC's replies to you when you turn in your quest, but that's only to those who actually read it :) This feature is off by default and can be toggled by /fq autocomplete

Dajova saidThis addon seems to be exactly like "Bayi's Extended Quest Log" (the one im using), only that the quest log here is the same size as on the normal one, witch is a flaw in my opinion.
This one hasn't been updated for a while, so i guess it's only reasonable, but i wonder witch one that was first with it :)

EVilvonbek saidyup... same here... and weirder only on 1 character on Khadgar and one on Aerie Peak, both different factions and with !Swatter giving me no LOD or startup error for it.
i use cartog, fubar, mobmap and lightheaded. when i take FQ off the error goes; with it on i get both the green dot ( tracker anchor ) + no text ( will move and reset, but will not lock / unlock ), and also when i pull up the quest log with either lightheaded enabled or disabled the quest shows ok but the quest list window is blank with a single grey line in it. MobMap linkage for the log still works at this point as does lightheaded notes.
if i take FQ back off the log works fine again.
also in case it was a config problem i tried the /fq options command which would bring up the graphic UI; with both chars this does nothins, not even enter as a command string to the server, whereas the oyther commands ( like /fq autonotify still work ).
will try the wiping my .lua files, and fresh install of current update in case it's corrrupted somehow.... but just in case do you have any idea why it's doing this?
before folk worry... i'll state this is happenning on 2 of my characters out of 17; and is working fine on 15 other characters. also a friend using pretty much the same setup and the 5 main addons mentioned is having no probs at all.

Urbin saidHi Arith
Thanks for keeping FastQuest up to date, I've been using it for ever and a day. However, since the latest version, it seems to be broken. I can drag the green dot around, but the text with the quest tracker lines remains fixed just below the minimap. If I try to bring up the menu with /fq options I get an error message (sorry, I can't quote it right now as I don't have access to the game).

Jesamyn saidFollowing up to his comment with the errors that I'm getting:
There are more, but I figured I would stop there for now. And yes, I am aware that some of those mention other mods. However, they're addons that I don't get eithout the beta version of FQ loaded. :)

V0iD saidNice Add On, been using it for aslong as I remember, I have a slight problem now though... I have updated all my add on's, this being one of them, but now the list of quests I am showing (the one with the green draggable dot) has vanished, I have tried resetting it's location (I believe that /reset does this?) but it's still not visible anywhere. I've tried all sorts, including changing the graphics resolution incase it is out of the screen, but it's not there either. Ive checked in places where small green dots could hide, right at the edge of the screen, behind UI bits etc etc, but I can still fail to find it :(
Can anyone help ?
TIA ^VoiD

V0iD saidThanks for the reply, but ive tried that, still no quest tracker :(
I can only think it is conflicting with another add on, are there any with known confliction issues?

arith saidAs far as I know, CT_Core is not compatible with FastQuest, due to CT_Core will manipulate quest tracker frame. But the problem used to be the frame will be not dragable.
Another way you may try is to delete the setting file which located under WTF\Account\[YOUR ACCOUNT]\SaveVariables\FastQuest_Classic.lua
Might help.

cogumel0 said@ redblade1530: I feel exactly the same way, so I made some very quick changes to it and uploaded the changed version so now you CAN link quests to the chat using Blizzard's funtion from patch 2.4.
Here's the link: http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/12284/
ALL CREDIT GOES TO arith.
I just hope soon he'll implement those changes himself on this one.
