DelveFinder: The Ultimate Delve Companion Tracker
If you have spent any time running Delves in World of Warcraft, you know the pain of wandering in circles looking for that last Mislaid Curiosity while your companion slowly gains XP in the background. DelveFinder was built to solve exactly that problem. This lightweight addon gives you a transparent radar overlay, a Curiosity counter, and full companion progression tracking, so every Delve run becomes faster and more efficient.
What DelveFinder Does
DelveFinder keeps your eyes on the adventure instead of buried in menus. At its core, the addon places a click-through radar on your screen with a player arrow and rotating compass, making it easy to spot nearby discoveries without breaking your rotation or movement. The radar uses its own independent zoom scale, so even if you keep your minimap zoomed all the way out, nearby Curiosities stay clearly spaced and readable.
Confirmed Mislaid Curiosities appear as distinct diamond markers. As you collect them, a Curiosity counter tracks recognized pickups, and you can manually correct the count at any time if something slips through. The companion progression panel shows your companion's level, XP progress, and an estimated time until the next level, which is invaluable when you are grinding toward those higher Delve tiers.
Run History and Completion Alerts
Every time you enter a Delve, DelveFinder starts a fresh run. When you leave, the run ends and the data is saved. Your history logs duration, Curiosity count, total companion XP, and estimated Curiosity XP per run, so you can compare farming routes over time. Optional completion alerts, including a sound and a five-second central message, fire when your counter hits ten, letting you know the run is effectively done without checking any window.
Supported Game Versions and Compatibility
DelveFinder is designed primarily for World of Warcraft Retail, where Delves and companion progression exist. If you play other flavors of the game, keep in mind that the addon's core features depend on Retail systems. Players on Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, and MoP will not find Delves in their clients, so DelveFinder is not applicable there. That said, the addon ecosystem around World of Warcraft is broad, and tools like the foxygame.net launcher make it simple to browse a curated addon catalog and install DelveFinder alongside your other favorites with a single click, keeping everything updated automatically.
Recommended Farming Setup
For focused Curiosity and companion-XP farming, the community-recommended approach is Ring of Glory with Dundun's Favor equipped. Dundun's Favor enables walk-over Curiosity collection, which makes repeated collection runs far more convenient. Running this on a stealth class such as Druid or Rogue lets you move through the Delve quickly, and with the Valeera perk active on Delve Tier 11 you can level her at high speed without fighting everything in your path. These are recommendations, not requirements; DelveFinder works fine in any Delve setup.
Getting Started: How to Install and Use It
If you want to download DelveFinder for World of Warcraft, grab it from your preferred addon source and drop it into your AddOns folder. Once installed, the slash commands are straightforward:
- /delvefinder settings — open the settings panel
- /delvefinder history — review previous runs
- /delvefinder radar — toggle the radar on or off
- /delvefinder + or /delvefinder - — manually correct the Curiosity counter
The interface is fully customizable: you can move the status window, adjust radar scale, control visibility, and set separate sound options to match your preferences.
Current Limitations
One known limitation is that Dundun cannot be placed as a world marker directly through the addon, due to how Blizzard handles that system. However, DelveFinder will still play a sound and post a chat message if Dundun is detected somewhere inside the Delve. You can also use a simple macro to target and ping Dundun's location manually: /cleartarget, /tar Dundun, /stopmacro [noexists], /ping [@target].
Final Thoughts
DelveFinder turns a tedious scavenger hunt into a streamlined farming loop. Between the central radar, the Curiosity counter, companion XP tracking, and saved run history, it covers everything a dedicated Delver needs. Whether you are chasing Tier 11 clears or just want to level your companion efficiently, this addon is a worthy addition to your World of Warcraft interface.
