[By the way, the whole concept of quest givers, etc. gets really complicated with all the things Blizzard does, and for the best accuracy you might not want to recreate this yourself. I can go into much detail if you really want it.]

The Quest NPCs are not the problem, as they have starting position recorded when accepting (or completing) quest and this data is connected with Quest not NPC. I think there is no need to use other addon, as this data is already colected by Quest Module.

What do u mean no recording? There is no Blizzard database of quest objectives...

This might be recordable when you accomplish one of the objectives for a quest by noting your current location, and just make a list. Turning that list into a region instead of a bunch of points will take your gathering data from a lot of users, and either some fancy algorithms or a lot of manual region making. For single points, you should be ok.

Thats no problem. We have algoritm to make blobs from point already. We only have to record those points for respective objectives location.
