The Map & Quest Log in windowed mode as of Battle for Azeroth.

The Map & Quest Log interface contains the World Maps and the Quest Log. The interface can be opened with the default keybinds L or M.

Map[]

Explored areas:

  • Any area of the map your character has discovered will appear with details (buildings, cave entrances, etc).

Character locations:

  • Your character: Your character will appear on the map at the location as a grey arrow, pointing at your direction.
  • Party members: If your character is in a party, any party members will appear on the map at the location as a dot, colored in that party member's class color.

Map UI redesigned[]

In the patch 3.3.0 PTR, the World map UI feature has been redesigned and combined with the Quest Log feature.

Animation[]

Patch 4.2.0 introduced a new animation when opening the world map, however, opening the map now cancels any other action in progress such as fishing.

Quest Log[]

Main article: Quest Log

The Quest Log is found on the right-hand side of the interface, listing the status and details of all currently active quests the character has not completed, or completed but not turned in.
