Midnight Chores
World of Warcraft is a game of endless tasks. Between raid nights, Mythic+ pushes, weekly quests, and the ever-growing list of currencies, it is easy to lose track of what you have done and what still needs your attention. Enter Midnight Chores, a powerful addon designed to bring order to the chaos. It does not just track one thing; it tracks dozens of activities across your characters, all in a clean, compact panel that fits right into your existing interface.
Your Personal Task Tracker for Every Character
The core of Midnight Chores is its ability to monitor roughly forty trackable items, each one individually toggleable on or off per character. This means you can tailor the addon to show exactly what matters to you, whether you are a raider, a dungeon crawler, or a collector of rare loot. No more alt-tabbing to check a spreadsheet or logging into a website; the information is right there on your screen.
Comprehensive Activity Tracking
What can you track? The list is impressive and covers almost every major end-game system. The addon keeps a close eye on your Great Vault progress across all three rows, so you know exactly how many activities you need to complete to unlock that perfect piece of gear. It also monitors raid boss progress, Mythic+ runs, and the Mythic 0 lockout per dungeon, giving you a clear picture of your weekly potential.
For those who enjoy the solo and small-group content, Midnight Chores tracks Delves, including Bountiful runs, Delver's Bounty, Mislaid Curiosities, and how many Bountiful Delves are still available. It also covers Prey Hunts, World Bosses, Lair Bosses, and Special Assignments. The addon even tracks zone events like Saltheril's Soiree, Abundance, Legends of the Haranir, Stormarion Assault, and Void Assault, ensuring you never miss a limited-time opportunity.
Currency and Resource Management
Keeping track of currencies in modern WoW is a job in itself. Midnight Chores simplifies this by monitoring Crests at every track, Sparks, Corrosive Coin, Untainted Mana-Crystals, Restored Coffer Keys, Coffer Shards, Field Accolades, Nebulous Voidcores, and Undercoin. You will always know how many of each you have and what you can still earn this week.
For players engaging with the Cursed Surge event, the addon provides a live timer for the Coiled Isle rotation, complete with a waypoint to the next site if you have TomTom installed. This is a fantastic feature for those chasing the latest rewards.
Best-in-Slot Lists and Gear Tracking
Gearing up is about more than just seeing a drop. Midnight Chores includes a powerful best-in-slot list feature. You can pick a target item for every slot, per specialization, and track what you have actually acquired per character. This removes the guesswork from your gear progression.
Smart Search and Filtering
The addon lets you browse by source, including dungeons, raids, world content, and Delves and Prey Hunts—which are notably absent from the Adventure Guide. You can perform a free-text search across the whole item database, filter by the stats an item carries, by stat distribution such as Mastery > Haste, and by one-hand or two-hand weapons. It understands upgrade tracks, crafted gear, and Catalysts, making it an indispensable tool for min-maxers.
Perhaps the most useful feature is the alert system. Midnight Chores will alert you when you zone into somewhere that drops something you still need, when you kill a boss that does, and when the item actually drops. This ensures you never miss a potential upgrade again.
Interface and Visual Integration
The addon is designed to be unobtrusive. It features a compact panel that attaches to Blizzard's quest tracker and matches its width perfectly. You have the option to skin Blizzard's tracker to match the panel, or hide it entirely for a cleaner look. The interface uses your class colour or a custom accent colour throughout, allowing for a personalized experience.
A significant credit goes to EllesmereUI, as Midnight Chores integrates with it seamlessly. When EllesmereUI is installed, the addon reads its accent colour so the two match automatically, and it steps aside rather than skinning over its tracker. This level of polish is rare in the addon community.
Compatibility and Installation
Midnight Chores for World of Warcraft is built to work across multiple versions of the game, including Retail, Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, and MoP. This wide compatibility makes it a versatile choice for players who bounce between different versions of the game. The addon relies on standard libraries like Ace3, LibStub, and LibDataBroker, ensuring it works well with other popular addons.
When you are ready to get started, you will want to know how to install it. The process is straightforward: download the addon folder and place it into your Interface/AddOns directory. Once you log into the game, you can configure it to your liking from the settings panel. For a smoother experience, you might consider using the foxygame.net launcher. This launcher offers a one-click install for Midnight Chores, bypassing the manual file management. Its built-in addon catalog also keeps track of updates, so you always have the latest version compatible with your game client.
Final Thoughts
In a game as vast as World of Warcraft, information is power. Midnight Chores puts that power directly into your hands, consolidating dozens of trackers into one elegant, customizable panel. Whether you are a hardcore raider, a Mythic+ enthusiast, or a casual player who just wants to know what to do next, this addon is an invaluable addition to your UI. It saves time, reduces confusion, and helps you play more efficiently. Give it a try, and you will wonder how you ever managed your chores without it.
