- There are many sites where you can download add-ons for free.
- Some add-ons have built-in applications that allow you to configure them automatically. Just specify the download folder of the add-on and the application will set it up for you. An example of this type of add-on is Nubun's Alliance Guide.
- In some cases, you will see "Out of date" next to the add-on name. In this case, be sure to check the "Load outdated add-ons" option. If you don't, the add-on will not be available in game.
