Carbonite replacement suggestions

As the title states, what do you use in place of carbonite. My main concerns/goals

an opposing faction alerter, (carbonite punks- until nUI 6.0 is released).
a guide to pinpoint npcs, trainers, bank, fp, without having to speak to a city guard.
Carbonite's warehouse, view your bank or GV anywhere (or some useful rules for arkinventory).
Quest helper or quest guru? I need something that'll hightlight mob areas better than blizz does(like carbonite)
I'm gonna go with gatherer for well gathering, duh and that should cover my needs

Rofl, I actually never really needed anything like that at all. Before the new quest changes that Blizzard introduced I used QuestGuru and I used Gathermate as a lightweight option to Gatherer but apart from that I had no need.

There was something that turned me off gathermate, though I do recall I prefer it's HUD over gatherers

Nothing good for opposing faction alerter - wish there were a good standalone mod for this that's been recently updated.

Warehouse - Altoholic

For map highlighting, etc, I use Mapster - dunno if it'll be better for ya or not.

As far as gathering, I don't have any gathering toons, ubt Gathermate would be lighter weight than Gatherer I think.

I totally forgot about altoholic, I have installed just not enabled in a while. I'll look into mapster. As far as enemy detection I used the combat log to 'see' enemies but I love how carb detects whether they're fighting or not AND has a 'hot / cold' pinging on map. Scott u reading? I'd love to be rid of carb once we can install nUI 6.0

What's so bad about Carbonite?

Xrystal · 01-25-10, 12:20 PM

Nothing at all is wrong with carbonite but there is so much to it that I personally never wanted that once blizzard made it so there wasn't a carbonite quest and carbonite main addons but an all in one version I replaced my quest watcher with questguru. Now with the built in one even that is not needed.

Hm. I haven't tried running without Carbonite in quite a while. Maybe it's worth a look.

First post here......
I want to un-install Carbonite from my Mac.
Can I just locate it in Finder then delete it without affecting other programs?

Yeah... look in [ World of Warcraft > Interface > AddOns ] and remove the Carbonite folders.

Addons aren't OS specific, nor will they interfere with WoW outside of the game itself.

BTW I'm a Mac user too, so in the future , yeah you can use spotlight, the Finde or even Quicksilver to find an addon and just delete it. Though as Scott wrote, it should be World of warcraft/Interface/AddOns/(addon name you want to delete)
