Lifetime statistics for your character in World of Warcraft: Forever. Install it once and it keeps counting for as long as you play: steps taken, times jumped, unique NPCs met, dungeon and raid bosses killed, fastest times, longest corpse runs, biggest falls survived, every dodge and parry, and hundreds more. Some of it is useful. A lot of it is gloriously useless.

 How it works |
In-game captures from version 1.12.1 (Mage, level 6, class-colour accent).
Get the latest LifeTimeStats-vX.Y.Z-forever.zip from the Releases page and unzip it into World of Warcraft\_classic_beta_\Interface\AddOns\.
A dashboard-style window (/lts): charcoal panels, odometer digit counters and tick-ring charts. The accent colour follows your class colour (switch back to the theme colour in settings).
Themes (Settings → Theme, applies after /reload): Auto (default: matches the UI addon you run), Odometer (LifeTimeStats' own look), Blizzard (gold on black, Friz Quadrata), ElvUI, Tukui and EllesmereUI. With ElvUI, Tukui or EllesmereUI loaded, their live colours and font are used (EllesmereUI through its official skinning API).
- Header: search box (Ctrl+F, also finds entries in the Top Lists, e.g. a spell or creature), Character / Account, Lifetime / Session / Today / Week / Month, settings, your portrait. In Account + Lifetime, hover a value to see each character's part.
- Sidebar pages: Dashboard, Travel, Combat, Deaths, Adventure, Wealth & Loot, Social & Silly, Records, Fastest & Uniques, Top Lists, Timeline, Adventurer's Life, Journal, Achievements, Compare, How it works. Keys 1–9, 0, F, A, C and H jump between pages while the mouse is over the window (never in combat, never while typing).
- Every page opens with four odometer counters, then a gridded table of every statistic on that page and charts beside it.
- Hover any row, counter or chart bar for exactly how it is measured and where a record came from.
- Ctrl + mouse wheel on the header changes the window scale. The default scale fits your screen height.
Steps, jumps, kills and deaths counters · kills vs deaths in your five deadliest zones · net gold per day for 30 days · deaths by cause · quests/kills/deaths per level band · where your gold came from · jumps by hour of day · steps per day · crit rate, quest completion and dungeon runs with a boss kill · Your legend: signature spell, nemesis, most hunted creature, best fight and homeland.

This release adds 222 statistics to the existing 616, plus Personal Best History, for 839 total dashboard entries:
- Movement context: sampled time, distance and longest/farthest intervals moving or stationary, on foot, mounted, swimming, in combat, solo or grouped, AFK or active, resting, indoors/outdoors, in the open world, dungeon, raid, battleground or arena, while falling, casting, channeling, and below 25% or at full health. Contexts overlap; do not add them together.
- Corpse recovery: actual ghost movement distance en route to your body, observed time moving and waiting, separate confirmed corpse retrievals and other resurrection methods, per-zone breakdowns, and fully observed run averages/records. Moving distance is not straight-line distance, and a retrieval button press alone does not count as success.
- Window visits: time with the vendor, bank, mailbox, auction house, trade, trainer, flight map, NPC conversation, quest dialog or book open; visit counts, completed-visit averages and longest visits.
- Combat and pace: sampled movement and fight records, known-outcome fight survival, and per-hour activity for kills, quests, gathering, crafting, loot, chats and more.
- Rates and proportions: recorded XP and gold breakdowns, healing/damage shares, and averages such as repair cost or XP per completed quest.
- A living chronicle: meaningful personal-best milestones can appear in your local Journal; the last-session recap can include its top new records. Both stay in-game and the journal option is configurable. The Top Lists page keeps a dated, bounded history of record changes.
All additions use the client's available observations; hidden or missing data is skipped rather than guessed. These counters begin with 1.13.0 and are not backfilled from older saves. See the measurement details for definitions, unknown-data handling and test limits.
111 achievements of LifeTimeStats' own, with up to 6 tiers each: 396 badges and 7,890 points. Each one shows its tier pips, progress to the next tier and, on hover, every tier with the date you earned it.

Progress you already had when 1.3 was installed is awarded quietly and marked "before v1.3". Alerts are off by default: the sidebar shows "N new". Settings → Achievement alerts switches to a chat line, an on-screen toast (click it to open the page) or both.
Times drunk (tipsy, drunk, completely smashed) and sobered up · campfires lit and where · nights camped out vs at an inn · time in the wild and longest stretch without a town · inns and innkeepers · unique hearthstones and different hearth locations · flight paths found · books read · potions and elixirs · Well Fed, time eating and drinking · mounts and pets by name · times naked · breath held, fatigue · day vs night game time · days adventured.
Writes itself: firsts, level-ups, new zones (with your level), first inn visits, deaths, achievements. Life per level compares what happened at each level. Travel log lists every zone with first-visit date and level.
Achievements unlock titles ("the Barfly", "the Wanderer", "of Many Hearths", …). Pick one with /lts title or in settings; it shows by your name. /lts sheet (or Sheet in the footer) gives a copyable character sheet.
The Compare page (key C) puts two of your characters side by side, or one character against all of them together. Every statistic, unique count, fastest time and your achievement points get a row with a lead bar; a + marks who leads (for fastest times, lower wins). Counters show how many stats each side leads. Forget character removes the data of an alt you deleted (asks first; never the character you are playing).
Share in the footer, or /lts share, previews a one-line summary of the page you are on, for example:
[LifeTimeStats] Malikor: Died 143 times (17 from falling, 7 drowned), 52 corpse runs, longest 4m 10s; killed most by Defias Pillager
Edit it if you like, pick Say / Party / Raid / Guild / Instance, press Send. Nothing is posted until you do. /lts share g deaths posts straight to guild because you typed it. Topics: summary, travel, combat, deaths, adventure, wealth, social, records, fastest, achievements, timeline.

Forever and the combat log. Forever does not give addons the combat log. LifeTimeStats reads combat from experience and honor messages, the units you fight, the combat text feed and your own health instead. After each fight it also reads Forever's built-in damage meter: damage and healing you do (total and per spell), damage taken and who dealt it, avoidable damage ("stood in the fire"), damage to each enemy, pet damage, your share of group damage, boss damage, interrupts, dispels and overkill. Every fight not yet counted is read, oldest first. Death causes come from the game's death recap (fire, lava, falling, drowning, or the attacker and spell), else the meter's killing blow during a fight. Overhealing, buffs, debuffs and killing blows you deal still need the combat log and show n/a. Inside instances creature names are hidden, so those kills appear as "Unknown (instance)".
/lts debugshows which sources are working. -
Counting starts when you install it. The game does not keep most of these numbers. /played and lifetime honorable kills come from the server.
-
Steps = distance on foot ÷ 0.75 m stride. Travel and Cat form count as on foot.
-
Kills count when something you or your pet damaged dies, so group kills count for each helper. Killing blows are separate.
-
Dungeon runs: a /reload, disconnect or zoning out and back within 30 minutes stays the same run; an instance reset starts a new one. Classic has no "dungeon complete" event, so the addon counts runs with a boss kill. Fastest clear = entering to the last boss, and only runs that killed as many bosses as your best run there qualify. Raids count a full clear from your raid lockout.
-
Falls: "survived" means you were still alive 1.5 s after the fall damage. Airtime is measured from leaving the ground to landing.
-
Corpse runs go from releasing your spirit to getting your body back (or using the spirit healer).
-
Session is since you logged in; a /reload keeps it. Today resets at local midnight. 40 days of daily history are kept for the charts.
-
Your data is stored twice (account and per-character SavedVariables); if one fails to load the other restores it. Backup gives a text copy; restoring never lowers a value.
-
The How it works page in the window explains every measurement.
-
The Journal records new personal bests as local adventure moments by default; turn this off under Settings → Chat and display. No new record is sent to another player.
-
Unique lists stop growing at 20,000 entries each; top lists keep 400 entries; daily history keeps 40 days.
-
Nothing is ever sent anywhere unless you press Send in the Share dialog or type
/lts sharewith a channel. No chat spam unless you turn on milestones. -
Loot, duel, roll, reputation and skill messages are read with the client's own text, so other languages should work (only English has been tested).
