How to Track Multiple Objectives Efficiently in WoW: Forever

In World of Warcraft: Forever, track the quests you can work on during your next trip and leave the rest accepted in your Quest Log. Open the log with L and the map with M using the default bindings. Check the objective text and map together before setting out. If the tracker is crowded, untrack the quests for another trip so you can see what still needs doing nearby.

Choose the objectives for this trip

1. Open the Quest Log and read the objectives for the quests you expect to work on. Check what each one asks you to kill, collect, or interact with.
2. Open the world map and compare the locations. With quest guidance enabled, available markers or highlighted areas can help you see which objectives share the same route.
3. Track the relevant quests in the log. Untrack the ones you'll handle later. Untracking keeps the accepted quest in your log.
4. Pick the first stop based on the route. Check the tracker before leaving each area to see if you still need an objective there.

Think in terms of one trip from the town and back. If a quest sends you through a camp where another quest asks for drops, take both. A quest in the opposite direction can stay accepted without taking space in your tracker. When you finish the current trip, open the log and track it again.

Read the objective before following the marker

An area on the map helps you find the right part of a zone. Read the objective text to see what actually counts. For example, two quests might share a camp while asking for different things. One could want kills from a specific kind of enemy, and another could want you to interact with objects along the edge. If you only follow the map marker, you can walk right past the objects and have to return.

Take a moment after your first kill or interaction to check which counter moved. If nothing changed, check the enemy name, the object you used, or the active step in the quest. This is especially useful if two objectives have similar names. Once you see the right counter move, finish the objectives that overlap before continuing to a new area.

When a quest has more than one requirement, check each counter before leaving. A tracker can show that a quest is in progress without making the missing requirement obvious at a glance. Read the log if you can't tell whether you need one more drop or a different objective entirely.

Finish or rotate the route without losing quests

When the nearby objectives are done, check where each quest turns in. If several go to the same settlement, return after finishing the last one nearby. If one sends you onward, decide whether to turn in the others first or save them for a later visit. The objective location and the turn-in destination aren't always the same.

Use Untrack if you want to hide a quest that will stay in your log. Use Abandon only if you intend to give it up. These actions are easy to confuse when you're trying to clear several tracker entries in a hurry. If you untrack something by mistake, reopen the log and put it back on the tracker.

When you move to another zone, repeat the process for the next set of objectives. You don't need to delete older quests just to make the tracker easier to read. Keep the active route short enough that you can see the objectives you intend to finish.

Fix a missing objective

If a quest disappears from the tracker, check the Quest Log first. If it is still there, track it again and remove unrelated tracked quests if space is limited. If the log shows the quest but the map doesn't mark it, read the text for directions and check whether your quest guidance settings show map objectives. Some objectives are easier to find with the written clues than with an area highlight.

If a tracked objective isn't counting, verify the quest's current step and the exact target or interaction. In a party, compare your progress before leaving the area. Someone may still need to pick up a drop even after you finished your own objective.

Before heading back to town, do one last check of the log for the quests you took on this route. It's quicker to catch one unfinished requirement while you're still nearby than to rediscover it when you reach the turn-in.
