Once you find an addon, make sure to click into its description and double check that it’ll work for the old game. Be sure to search for “classic” or “wow classic” because the app doesn’t differentiate the addons in its list. Now, you can install addons directly from Twitchīut there’s a trick, because Twitch is packed with new addons that won’t work in Classic.

From the top right drop down menu, select the folder for WoW Classic (note that if you want to go back to retail WoW addons, you’ll need to change the folder back).

Go to the Mods section, then click World of Warcraft.

The Twitch client that many already use to install addons (and keep them updated) in the live game can also work for Classic.

When you load up the game - when it’s live of course - your addons will be thereīut there’s an easier way to do this.

Drag your uncompressed addon to the addon folder.

Browse to the Interface folder and then the AddOns folder inside of that.

The game is on your C drive by default, and location should look something like this: C:Program FilesBlizzardWorld of Warcraft_classic_. So download your addons of choice and get started. ZIP files, extracting them, and tossing them into your game’s install location.

The easiest way to install addons is the manual route. There’s a whole list of them that will help you do quests, level up, raid, and more. WoW Classic is just about to launch, and if you want to play without many roadblocks to your journey, you should download and install some addons.
