Catalog of all addons available for Turtle:
To download an addon manually, extract it in \twmoa_1181\Interface\AddOns, and rename the folder so that it doesn't have -master in its name as a leftover from Github. The addons folders need their exact name, for exemple the 'pfQuest-Turtle' folder has to be named 'pfQuest-Turtle'.
FAQ
What is the difference from the other Turtle WoW clones?
OctoWoW is Turtle clone for NA/EU audience. They are using a leak of Turtle WoW 1.17.2 and datamining 1.18.1 content to add it back. It's a good server too and most of this rentry can be useful if you play there too. https://octowow.st/
CapyWoW is a Turtle clone for the Chinese audience, they also have a multilingual server. https://capycraft.io/
War Mode?
You can talk to an NPC at Orgrimmar or Stormwind War Quarter to enable PvP and get +5% xp gain globally.
Rested XP?
You can stand around in any inn to gain rested XP. Being rested grants you a +70% XP bonus when killing mobs. It takes around 15 minutes to fill up, and an addon like pfUI helps you visualize it.
How to PvP?
You can queue up to join a PvP battleground at any level. It grants XP and can even be a great way to level up once you're above lvl 30. The icon to join is near the minimap, or under it on the dropdown menu if you have pfUI.

How to dungeons?
You'll need to be at least level 13. The icon to queue up is near the minimap, or under it on the dropdown menu if you have pfUI. Be aware that you'll have to walk to the dungeon yourself.
Dungeon Finder can take a long time, especially as a DPS. If you can't run the dungeon with your guild either, a good way to take matters into your own hands is to /who your level bracket.
For example, if you really want to run Shadowfang Keep as a DPS, you can type /who 20-28 in chat and start whispering potential healers to create a group. Once you find a healer, look for a tank and tell them you have a healer ready, and then you can easily find two more DPS to complete the party.
