Quests are a hallmark feature to WoW. They allow you to level your character by exploring your surroundings and you get a nice chunk of XP and usually a reward for doing so. It can be frustrating though for a new player to not know where to go, and while your friend can show you the way, he won't always be around when you want to play. That's where Lightheaded and QuestHelper come into play. Lightheaded adds a new window to your quest log showing you comments on the quest. The comments are pulled from Wowhead. While you could pull them up on your web browser, Lightheaded saves a lot of time and keeps you from alt-tabbing as much, keeping you in the action. You can WoW Gold even click on the coordinates provided by Lightheaded to show a Cartographer waypoint arrow. (Alternatively you could use TomTom, a waypoint addon created by Lightheaded's author.) The waypoint arrow rotates around as you move through the game's world, always showing the direction and distance of whatever it's WoW Gold tracking. Of course the catch is the information provided by Lightheaded is only as good as the comments contributed, and could potentially be wrong. However, most quests have multiple comments so you can compare information in order to find the most helpful.
Lightheaded might be all you need, but if you want to take quest helping addons one step further QuestHelper is just the ticket. QuestHelper shows you where to go, and is a nice compliment to Lightheaded. QuestHelper goes beyond Lightheaded by mapping all your quests you currently have in your log to make an efficient route. Hypothetically this cuts down on travel time as QuestHelper tries to minimize back tracking, and shows you the route to take to meet your next objective. I say hypothetically because QuestHelper isn't smart enough to take into account impassable terrain, what flight paths you know, and if you have a flying mount or not. Despite these drawbacks QuestHelper is still really handy. When used as an outline of the route you should take it can save you some back and forth travel time. QuestHelper is customizable allowing you to prioritize quests WoW Gold depending on difficulty or if it's elite and takes place in a dungeon. It uses waypoints akin to Lightheaded, and even shows a neat animated trail on your map showing your suggested route. Finally, QuestHelper has a quest tracker that can WoW Gold compliment or replace the default one. Like Cartographer, QuestHelper has a lot of customization options, but it runs well freshly installed. About the only thing I needed to configure was rather or not to use the quest tracker, and how to prioritize my quests. All in all QuestHelper is a nice compliment to Lightheaded, but might be overkill for some people. Give it a whirl and see for yourself. As a final thought on these quest assistance addons, you do loose the sense of exploration and accomplishment when you have an addon mapping everything out for you. If you're not in a hurry to get to the "end game", using them might spoil the experience.
