Deep Delve
If you have been running delves in World of Warcraft and losing track of Mislaid Curiosities, companion XP, or that elusive kobold Dundun, then Deep Delve is the addon you have been waiting for. This compact tracker keeps your current run easy to follow without forcing you to juggle multiple community addons. Whether you are pushing tiers solo or just want a cleaner interface, Deep Delve delivers a focused set of tools that stay out of your way until you need them.
What Deep Delve Does
At its core, Deep Delve is a run tracker built specifically around delve content. It places automatic discovery pins on both the world map and the nearby minimap, so you always know where curiosities and other points of interest have been reported. A built-in run journal lets you review previous runs, while three distinct UI styles let you match the tracker to your existing interface.
The addon works entirely on its own. You do not need DelveFinder or any other community addon to get full functionality. That independence is a big part of its appeal for players who prefer a lean addon list.
Curiosity Tracking
Deep Delve follows your Mislaid Curiosity pickups with clearly marked estimates and manual count corrections. You can adjust the curiosity goal, scale, opacity, sound, and visibility through a native settings page. The tracker persists across reloads, so a disconnect or a UI reload will not wipe your current run progress.
Companion XP and Run Stats
Companion level progress, run XP, estimated curiosity XP, XP per hour, and time to the next level are all visible at a glance. This makes Deep Delve for World of Warcraft especially useful for players leveling Brann or another companion and wanting to know exactly how close they are to the next milestone.
Finding Dundun
Clicking Find & Mark targets Dundun and applies a green triangle when he is targetable, including his wooden tree disguise in tested delves. The button clears your current target and can be assigned a keybinding. Once you spot him, click Found to confirm the sighting yourself, then stand beside him and use Save spot to leave a small tree marker for your next visit to that delve floor. Remember that saved spots are previous sightings, not a guarantee of his current spawn.
Understanding the Map Markers
The same marker colors appear on the world map and the nearby minimap, which keeps things consistent. Here is what each one means:
- Gold diamond: an identified Mislaid Curiosity currently reported by WoW.
- Purple question mark: an unnamed object reported by WoW whose identity is unconfirmed.
- Blue R: a Loot Raid-R Mini reveal without a nearby pickup match recorded this run.
- Gray tilde: a Raid-R reveal matched approximately to a nearby pickup this run.
- Palm tree in a gold ring: your previously saved Dundun sighting.
Curiosity pins show current reports, so old pickup locations do not fill your next run with misleading spawn markers. Hover any marker to see its details.
UI Styles and Customization
You can choose Standard WoW, Ellesmere UI, or the custom Cyber Sephiroth style. Ellesmere styling uses its font and accent preferences when available, with a built-in fallback. Cyber Sephiroth uses dark panels, silver details, green accents, and a wing motif. Fonts are bundled, and each style works without another addon. You can move, fold, or lock the tracker, and control map pins, nearby minimap pins, saved Dundun sightings, and the minimap launcher separately.
If you want the fastest possible setup, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for Deep Delve, pulling the latest build straight from its addon catalog and handling updates automatically so you never run an outdated version.
How to Install Deep Delve
Getting started is straightforward. Install and enable Deep Delve, then restart WoW if a newly installed addon is not listed. Enter a delve and the tracker appears automatically. Type /dd or left-click the minimap icon for settings, and use /dd show to preview the tracker outside a delve. The minimap icon opens the map on right-click and toggles the tracker on Shift-click. Use /dd journal, /dd map, and /dd help for quick access.
Supported Versions and Compatibility
Deep Delve currently supports Retail World of Warcraft and was tested on an English client in solo delves with Valeera, Dundun's tree disguise, and Loot Raid-R Mini. Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, and MoP are not supported by this release, and neither is the PTR. Other locales, companions, group play, and all delve layouts still need broader testing.
Detection depends on readable game data, so it cannot identify everything visible on your screen or reveal every object throughout the delve. Purple markers are unconfirmed, pickup estimates can need correction, and the curiosity goal is a setting rather than a detected total. Find & Mark requires your click or keybinding and does not interact with objects or collect loot.
Final Thoughts
Deep Delve fills a specific niche very well. If you want a self-contained delve tracker that handles curiosities, companion XP, and Dundun sightings without extra dependencies, this addon is worth adding to your collection. Download Deep Delve, follow the install steps above, and your next delve run will be far easier to follow from start to finish.
