HandyNotes: Battle for Azeroth Treasures and Rares
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
The rare mob "Syrawon the Dominus" in Zuldazar aint getting removed from my map after killling it (tested on multiple characters). It's the only one which stays on the map, all the rest work fine.

Hi, the addon is great and work perfectly when you're solo or duo but when you are more in the group the elite's icon and the chest doesn't disappear and you have to open the big map and click on it to hide.

The icon for Vukuba <The Imposter> is not in the correct spot, I found him quite a ways away from where it was indicated. At the place where it said Vukuba was there was a different rare named "Gahz'ralka".
The actual spot to find Vukuba is at coordinates 64.0 33.0 in a little cave where you click on an egg to defeat several waves of attackers and eventually he spawns.
Please add Secrets of the Depths info for Tiragarde Sound. It's part of Treasures of Tiragarde Sound.

I have this peculiar bug going on. There are no associated LUA errors. I simply have a tooltip constantly opening up when ever I loot something or /reload, etc. What the tooltip displays is pretty random but it looks to be what rares drop. In this screenie's case it's cloth though, and I'm a mail user.
I had to disable addons one by one until reaching this one where this behavior stopped. It's not a mortal bug and the tooltip fortunately appears where it does not bug me since it's right on my spam chat window (which as the name hints I rarely pay attention to) but since it's a bug I'm leaving a mention to it here.

I'm playing Alliance and the rares are clearing for me in the Alliance zones, but not the Horde ones. Is the addon checking credit based on the wrong faction achievement?
Specifically in Vol'dun. Nazmir is working correctly, and I haven't been to Zuldazar to kill any rares yet.
Just updated today and it's not clearing items (rares) when killed and looted. It cleared them yesterday before I updated.
Edit: Scratch that, went back to v1 and tried that, couldn't see treasures so I re-updated to v2 and now it's working fine again for some reason. NPCs and treasure are cleared when I collect them.
Edit 2: V3 is working fine it seems. Thx.
