Path of Exile Level-Up! (POELU) replaces World of Warcraft's configured default level-up sound with a Path of Exile-inspired chime whenever the player gains a level. It is a small, automatic sound addon built on RGX-Framework.
The Kiwi Says: "Exile ding! Bwwiiiee."
This addon is no longer receiving updates. Its functionality and Path of Exile sound are available in BLU | Better Level Up! and BLU Classic | Better Level Up!, which combine this sound with a larger sound collection.
Existing standalone users may continue to use this repository as-is, but new installations should prefer the appropriate BLU addon.
- Plays the selected Path of Exile-inspired sound on
PLAYER_LEVEL_UP. - Provides high, medium, and low OGG variants; medium is selected by default.
- Plays through the Master sound channel by default.
- Requests that RGX-Framework mute the configured default level-up sound while POELU is enabled.
- Persists enablement and sound-variant choices in
POELUSettings. - Shows a welcome message on login while that saved preference remains enabled.
- Includes a test command for checking playback immediately.
POELU does not alter leveling, experience gains, UI frames, or game data. It only handles the sound associated with the player's level-up event.
RGX-Framework is a required dependency and must be installed and enabled. The current TOCs declare these game interfaces:
| WoW flavor | TOC | Interface |
|---|---|---|
| Retail | PathOfExileLevelUp.toc |
120007 |
| Wrath Classic | PathOfExileLevelUp_Wrath.toc |
30403 |
| Burning Crusade Classic | PathOfExileLevelUp_TBC.toc |
20504 |
| Classic Era | PathOfExileLevelUp_Vanilla.toc |

These values describe the preserved release metadata. The addon is deprecated, so they are not a promise of compatibility with later game clients.
- Download a packaged release of PathOfExileLevelUp and install RGX-Framework.
- Extract both addon folders into the WoW client's
Interface/AddOnsdirectory. - Confirm that the folder is named
PathOfExileLevelUprather than a source-archive name. - Enable
RGX-FrameworkandPath of Exile Level-Up!at the character-selection AddOns screen.
For the consolidated replacement, install BLU or BLU Classic instead of the standalone addon.
POELU works automatically once enabled. It has no graphical configuration panel; use /poelu commands in chat:
| Command | Result |
|---|---|
/poelu or /poelu help |
List available commands. |
/poelu test |
Play the selected sound variant. |
/poelu enable |
Enable replacement playback. |
/poelu disable |
Disable replacement playback. |
/poelu high |
Select the high-quality file. |
/poelu med or /poelu medium |
Select the medium-quality file. |
/poelu low |
Select the low-quality file. |
The initial defaults are enabled, medium quality, Master-channel playback, default-sound muting, and the welcome message. Settings persist between sessions in POELUSettings.

At addon load, POELU initializes its RGX-Framework sound handle. At login it displays the optional welcome message. Each later PLAYER_LEVEL_UP event plays the selected variant when the addon is enabled, and logout allows the framework handle to finalize its state.
- If WoW marks POELU as missing a dependency, install or enable
RGX-Framework. - If no custom sound plays, run
/poelu test, then/poelu enableand select a variant again. - If the default sound also plays, verify that POELU and RGX-Framework both loaded without Lua errors.
- If WoW cannot find the addon, verify the exact
Interface/AddOns/PathOfExileLevelUpfolder name.
Because the standalone project is retired, migrate to BLU or BLU Classic when you prefer the consolidated sound addon.
This repository is retained for existing users and historical context. Issue reports and contributions should account for the deprecation notice and the migration path above.
