Today I wanted to check out a mod I wish I had when I started leveling Cerias. It's a map mod that is your all in one solution to finding stuff in wow. Mobmap integrates with the Map and allows you to search for items, mobs, quests, etc right in game. If you need bloody strips of meat off of random wild life creature 001. Then just search for bloody strips of meat. It will tell you what mobs drop that item. Then select one of the mobs to see an overlay of white dots on your map where that NPC can be found. It works for just about everything and makes certain items in your quest log clickable making searching for stuff a breeze.




You can download MobMap at http://www.mobmap.de this is a screenshot of mobmap in action. There are several ways you can try to install it. Through their auto updater tool at mobmap.de or through curse's updater tool. I recommend hand installing and maintaining this one. Make sure you download the addon and the database in the language you need. I have a friend that used the updater program from Curse and ended up overwriting his English database with a German database.

Mobmap is perfect for figuring out a path to follow around a zone or the quickest route to hit all of your quests. Of course its especially handy at getting you moving on a difficult quest. If you only have one monitor then the real advantage of this mob comes into play in that you do not have to alt tab out of wow.

Enjoy,

CS
