Download

These are the addon author's own pages on other sites. Download only from them, and never run an installer an addon page asks for.

In WoW Classic

  • Classic Era uses the separate Spy Classic download.

Overview

Spy notices enemy players around you from their combat-log activity, estimates their class, race and level, and lists them with a sound alert. You can keep Kill On Sight and ignore lists, look at statistics and the last hour's history, and share what you detect with your party, raid or guild.

Who it's for

Players on PvP realms, and anyone who wants an early warning about enemy players while questing.

Main features

  • Enemy detection from combat-log activity, with a class, race and level estimate
  • A nearby list with sound alerts
  • Kill On Sight and ignore lists
  • Statistics and a last-hour history
  • Detections shared with your party, raid or guild

Limitations

  • It works from combat-log activity, so it only notices players whose actions show up there.
