Private server addons by client

Match the addon to the client build. Retail zips do not load on 3.3.5a or 1.12.

Realms

Files go in the client-root Interface/AddOns directory. These legacy clients do not use the _retail_ flavor directory. The Grimfall page separates its Classless and Conquest of Azeroth realms from addon compatibility. No dedicated Grimfall addon catalog was found in the linked public pages. Legion 7.3.5 has its own client-matching guide.

Questions

Will you link a client download?

No. Blizzard publishes the official client. These pages talk about addon folders only.
