Hardcore Helper

HC Helper is a free, independent planning companion for WoW Classic Hardcore, created as a spare-time passion project. Designed for a permadeath game mode where careful preparation matters, it helps players make informed choices about gear, dungeons, talents, professions, and world buffs. The site offers character-based gear recommendations tailored to class, specialization, level, and play mode, with options to plan farming targets and filter out sources unavailable to Self-Found or Solo Self-Found characters.

Players can browse dungeon quest lists, map-based pickup locations, and boss loot tables showing relevant upgrades. An interactive talent planner includes recommended Hardcore builds and a level 60 planning mode. Profession guides and recipe lists help users identify useful crafts and required materials, while the world buffs section tracks community-sourced schedules and buff locations.

Characters can be imported from Battle. net or entered manually. HC Helper also provides guides about WoW Forever, including class changes, launch timing, and raid plans.

The service has no ads or paywalls, and users can optionally support its ongoing development
