HandyNotes: Battle for Azeroth Treasures and Rares

Table of Contents

Want Shadowlands treasures and rares? I have something for that.

A HandyNotes plugin to show the Battle for Azeroth treasure items on your map. (That means it requires HandyNotes, so go install it as well.)

This includes:

Items found in one-off chests that're mysteriously glowing purple.
Items dropped by rare mobs.

Items that you've already collected and mobs you've already killed won't be displayed. This uses the "flag" quests that the game relies on to keep track of the items. Sometimes these glitch; generally if they do so, you also won't have gotten achievement-credit / the item, so you'll likely still be interested in the item.

You can right-click on any treasure node and hide it, if you just don't want to see that one. If you have TomTom installed, you can also add a waypoint for that node.

To edit the settings, visit the HandyNotes config panel, expand the "Plugins" section, and click on "Battle for Azeroth". You can then choose which treasures to show, and whether to show ones you've already found.

Want to help?

If you'd like to submit corrections, please go into the settings as mentioned above and turn on "show quest ids". Then let me know the quest id for the node you want to correct, which will now appear in its tooltip.

If you'd like to submit a new node, you have two options:

Tell me where it is. I'll go find it eventually and track down the more obscure details I need to add it.
Gather these details yourself and send them to me:
- Zone and coordinates.
- What it gives you. This is mostly "a random gray, and some Azerite".
- The quest id associated with it. This is the tricky one. The easiest way to get it is to install QuestsChanged before you open the treasure, then open the treasure and check it to see what quest was triggered.

What else might help me find things?

Handy Minimap Arrow will make your player-arrow on the minimap appear above all the notes I'm adding to it
What's On The Map? will show a list of the vignettes currently up nearby
Minimap Range Extender will make map vignettes visible from further away

Ah, I see looking at the files it looks like the questid to check for killed is missing for most zones?

So I don't know if this is just me because of what addons I use but once I updated to the new alpha version, I would get large lag spikes when I opened my map.

Good Job so far!

Hope I can help with that!

Coordinates for Weathered Treasure Chest in Stormsong have changed on live, it's now at 66.9, 12.0.

Hope this helps!

Got coordinates for the Seething Cache in Drustvar wrong, it's at:

Drustvar 67.93 66.83 Seething Cache

Right now it is pointing to the rare NPC Rimestone who should be noted as being at 59.6 71.2

I downloaded this, installed with Twitch, and even though i can see it as an addon on the main character screen, it isn't showing up as an option once logged in. There's no error code, there's just no option. I also see no difference on the map.

I do, and I noticed that above it now says that it requires the Handynotes v 1.5.0, is it that exact version, or can it be 1.5.3? thanks

I installed the most recent version of the Handynotes BFA plugin and it's showing up now. Thanks for your work!

The creator has another addon called SilverDragon which tracks rares and has a database to display them on the map using Handynotes. I think this is why he is not including rares here.

Yeah, the tracking is not yet implemented.

Not sure what Kemayo's plan is, but if you track your kills with QuestsChanged and submit it that wouldnt hurt.
