Quick Boost

Description

"Quick Boost" is a module for AzerothCore that offers a fresh level 1 character an optional boost to a configurable level, via a gossip option with the starting quest giver in each race's starting zone.

Inspired by (and a from-scratch replacement for) the old, dormant mod-level-15-boost module, whose gear/talent/glyph database tables were never populated, so its boost option silently did nothing. Quick Boost skips the empty-database problem entirely: starter gear is a small hardcoded per-class table in src/mod_quick_boost.cpp.

Features

• Gossip option ("Boost me to level X!") offered to level 1 characters by the same starting-zone quest givers the original module used.
• Destroys starting gear and equips a small class-appropriate starter kit (weapon, chest, legs, feet).
• Grants a configurable amount of starting money.
• Restores the character to full health/mana after the boost.
• Teleports the character to their race's capital city (optional).
• Gives Hunter characters a tamed, race-appropriate starter pet (optional).
• Teaches every trainer-taught class spell the character qualifies for at the boosted level (optional) — otherwise a boosted character keeps only their level-1 starting spellbook, which is how a boosted Hunter could end up with a pet but no Tame Beast to re-tame it with.

Configuration

See conf/mod_quick_boost.conf.dist (rename to mod_quick_boost.conf to use):

QuickBoost.Enable = 1
QuickBoost.Level = 15
QuickBoost.DestroyStartingGear = 1
QuickBoost.StartingMoney = 5000
QuickBoost.TeleportToCapital = 1
QuickBoost.GrantHunterPet = 1
QuickBoost.LearnClassSpells = 1

Extending

QuickBoost::_classGear in src/mod_quick_boost.cpp is the obvious next place to grow this: add more items per class/slot, make it data-driven from a DB table, add a .quickboost reload command, etc. _racePet and _raceCapital follow the same hardcoded-table pattern for per-race pets and capital-city coordinates.
