So I just started back up.  I need mods that...

*  Hide the XP bar
*  Hide the floating purple XP numbers upon kills

Any suggestions?  And what do I do with one once it's downloaded?  Every site seems to assume I already know what I'm doing.

Pretty much just dump the mods into the addons folder in your wow directory.

Should be Interface/AddOns/ Bunch of "Blizzard UI" folders.

Pretty much any mod that isn't ass will at the very least unzip with a directory structure so each mod will end up with it's own folder.

Things like WoW Ace have their own up-daters, but I don't have any experience with it myself.


Otherwise it's a matter of reading the individual mods instructions, most have a GUI, some don't.


-edit- I fail at spelling.

The "Bartender" mod gets rid of the XP bar if you wish so, no idea about the floating XP text.

Most awesome avatar ever.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

As I said in your other thread, get the Ace Downloader. This thing will manage thousands of mods and also let you update install and remove mods. Get Bartender, as its the easiest to use bar mod I believe. Also, I'm sure you will find some others you like in the Ace list.

I believe if you install Scrolling Combat Text one of the options is the experience display. I could be wrong. In any event you'll never be able to get rid of the XP spam in your chat window, so your vision of a WoW with no levels and XP is probably a futile one.

Personally, I can't find a box for that, and if I uncheck "Enable floating combat text" for the whole shebang, then it still shows the XP gain (as well as the damage done).  That said, unless you have eidetic memory, I highly doubt that you're going to be able to know when you're about to level just by mentally adding up "134, 127, 134, 134, 127" over and over again until you get 137,400 or whatever the next level requirement is.

Rightclick on the combat tab, uncheck XP gain under combat messages ... awesome, for real

Doesn't get rid of floating XP numbers.

I like MikScrollingBattleText.  You can turn off exp gains.
