GuideWisp
Free beta coming soon

Stuck on a quest? Ask without leaving the game.

GuideWisp is a small helper window for World of Warcraft. Press a hotkey, ask your question in plain words, and get a short answer with links to the guides it came from. Then get back to playing.

Download the beta for Windows

Download coming soon. Free during the beta. No add-on needed.

An example answer. When you're done, it tucks into a little tab on the edge of your screen.

How it works

No alt-tabbing, no digging through ten browser tabs. Three steps and you're back in the game.

  1. Press the hotkey

    GuideWisp slides out from the edge of your screen, right over the game. The default is Ctrl+Shift+Q.

  2. Ask your question

    Type it the way you'd ask a friend: “Where is the Expert Enchanting trainer?” Your player profile already tells it your edition, faction and level.

  3. Get a sourced answer

    In a few seconds you get a short answer, the key line in bold, and links to where it came from. Press the hotkey again and keep playing.

Small things that help

GuideWisp looks through the guides players already trust, like Wowhead, Icy Veins, warcraft.wiki.gg, the Blizzard forums and Reddit, and boils them down for you.

  • Stays out of the wayA compact window that tucks into a tab on the edge of your screen. Your hotkey brings it back.
  • Knows your characterSet your edition, faction, class, level and professions once. If you like, it can read them from your screen when it starts. That screenshot never leaves your PC.
  • The answer firstThe line you need is in bold at the top, so you can glance and go.
  • “How to find them”For NPCs tucked away in caves, towers and cliffs, you get a short hint on how to actually reach them.
  • Find in gameOne click copies /tar Name and /tm 7, ready to paste into chat to target and mark the NPC once you're nearby.
  • Report a problemIf an answer is wrong, tap Report. Every report is read by a person, and it helps make the next answer better.

What it's good at

  • Quest objectives. Where the thing is, what drops it, and what to do next.
  • NPC and trainer locations. Who teaches what, where they stand, and how to get there.
  • Profession routes. What to craft or gather at your skill level, and where to train up.
  • Answers for your edition. Classic Era and Retail can have very different answers. GuideWisp asks with your edition in mind.

What it won't do

  • No automation. It never presses keys, moves your character or plays for you.
  • No memory reading. It doesn't read or change the game's memory or files, and it doesn't touch the game client.
  • No add-on. It's a separate Windows app. Nothing to install in your game folder.
  • No surprise pop-ups. It only shows up when you call it.

Works with your edition

Pick your edition in your player profile, and answers are looked up with it in mind.

  • WoW: Forever
  • Retail (Midnight)
  • Classic Era
  • Classic Hardcore
  • Season of Discovery
  • Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary

Questions

Windows says “Windows protected your PC.” Is that normal?

Yes. The beta isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows a blue warning the first time you open it. Click More info, then Run anyway. You only need to do this once.

What happens to my questions?

There's no account, just an anonymous random id for each install. Your question goes through our server to the AI service and web search that find your answer, and usage sharing stays off unless you turn it on. Read the privacy policy.

Is GuideWisp allowed?

GuideWisp is a separate Windows app. It doesn't read the game's memory, automate anything or interact with the game client, and there's no add-on. In that way it's a lot like having a guide open in a browser window.

That said, Blizzard hasn't reviewed or approved GuideWisp, and their rules are theirs to decide. If you're ever unsure, check Blizzard's own policies.

Does it work in fullscreen?

Set WoW to Windowed or Windowed (Fullscreen). Exclusive fullscreen hides the GuideWisp window.

Can I get a refund?

Credits aren't refunded for answers, but if an answer is wrong, please tap Report a problem; every report is read by hand. Failed requests never cost anything. Billing mistakes, like a double charge or a charge after you cancelled, are refunded if you email us within 14 days. See the refund policy.

How do I get in touch?

Email hello@guidewisp.com. GuideWisp is made by one independent developer, so it's a real person who'll read it.
