What runs on Forever
The aura addon you want is not the one you have. WeakAuras itself ships no build for this client, so the shelf below is short on purpose.
This is the list we checked before pointing anyone at an addon, with the evidence beside each answer. Nothing here is redistributed or mirrored — every link goes to the project's own page, so you get the current file from the people who maintain it.
01 — The short version
ForeverAuras runs. WeakAuras 2 does not.
| Addon | Works on Forever? | The evidence |
|---|---|---|
| WeakAuras 2 5.22.1 | No | Its TOC files cover Vanilla, TBC, Wrath, Cata and Mists only — there is no 16001 interface and no _Forever.toc, and CurseForge offers no Forever flavour. Installing it will not get you a working editor. |
| ForeverAuras 1.3.6 | Yes | CurseForge flavour Forever, game version 1.60.1; GitHub release 1.3.6 published 2026-11-10. This is the fork that was built for this client. |
| EverAuras, M33kAuras, Musca Auras, Arc Auras, TerribleBuffTracker, SeraphAuras, ThisWeeksAuras, MiniAuras | Reported working | Named as working by a survey of CurseForge and Wago, but not individually re-checked by us — treat that column as a lead to test, not a result. Musca Auras is described as a WeakAuras-format port; the others as systems of their own. |
02 — ForeverAuras in practice
Five things worth knowing before you import anything.
- It reads both envelopes. Its transmission layer accepts !WA:N! and !FA:N!, so an import string from WeakAuras' own era still imports. That is why the strings on this site are written in the WeakAuras format.
- Open it with /fa (or /foreverauras). The import and export UI is the same one you already know.
- SavedVariables are not saved. This is a client-side bug, not an addon fault, and the fork ships a startup warning about it — “Auras will NOT save until Blizzard address the client issue” — re-openable with /fawarning. The practical consequence is the reason this site exists: your import strings are the only durable copy of your auras.
- Old imports mostly work, with a catch. The author's own answer: “It depends on what the WeakAura is doing. Certain things are no longer accessible in Combat but most out of combat WeakAuras should work.” Anything that reads health, power or threat mid-fight is the part that does not.
- Versions move. The copy running in game has been ahead of the GitHub release before now, so quote the in-game version — visible in the addon list — when a version number matters.
03 — Getting it, and getting strings
Where to actually download from.
CurseForge ↗
The project page, carrying the Forever flavour. This is the one that tracks what the client actually is.
GitHub ↗
Source and tagged releases. Useful for reading what it does; the release line can lag the game version.
Wago ↗
Another distribution point, and where community-made imports are shared under the ForeverAuras category.
Our own library
Strings generated by our own tooling rather than copied from a forum, each with a copy button and a raw .txt.
04 — Our own addons
What we write for this client.
Forever is new enough that a lot of the UI has to be rebuilt for it, and these are the ones we have built. They are published from their own pages rather than from here, so a download always comes from the place that builds it.
| Addon | What it does | Where to get it |
|---|---|---|
| ForeverQuestItemBar | An action bar holding the usable quest items in your bags, so an escort or a scripted event does not mean opening your bag mid-fight. Forever only, v1.0.0. | GitHub ↗ · Wago ↗ |
| Actuary | Kills, loot and per-mob drop rates across all your characters. Forever only. | In progress, not published |
| ForeverBagProfessions | Profession and item-spell buttons along the top of the backpack, read from your spellbook. Forever only. | In progress, not published |
