HandyNotes: Legion (Broken Isles) Treasures and Rares
Want Battle for Azeroth treasures? I have something for that.
A HandyNotes plugin to show the Legion 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.
Important note: Every zone has its own type of randomly-appearing treasure chest. These are genuinely random -- they're not always up, and they can repeat. As such, I don't include any of them. Only one-off chests are in this addon.
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 "Legion". 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, some order resources, and an artifact power item".
- 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
Azsuna - 39,56 : You can find here an elvish treasure, sorry my english is bad, I mean this object --> http://de.wowhead.com/object=256790/elfische-schatztruhe
Suramar - 70, 50
Suramar - 71.80, 49.96 (2 treasures here - 1 on entrance, 2 on the top)
Suramar - 76.88, 61.54
Suramar - 45, 60
Suramar - Underwater Cave Treasure 82, 57.5. Entrance is underwater, big open cave 79, 57.
Treasure chest in Aszuna is in the wrong location.
Object ID 250092
UnitPosition 737, 6437, 0, 1220
Coordinates 51.51, 24.34
The wrong position has notes "Inside a cave, entrance is at 47.8 to 23.7"
I have questschanged but I have no idea how to enable it / use it so I cant get you quest ID.
Also, how do you use tomtom with this? There is no readme or instructions to use this with tomtom.
edit: Also wanted to thank you. Your addon seems the most up-to-date compared to other legion treasures/rares addons. I used to use RareFinder and DraenorTreasures for WoD content, and this does both. DraenorTreasures (not the handynotes version) also did automatic tracking arrow via DBM on the closest treasure; It'd be nice if there was a feature to automatically do a tracking arrow on the closest rare/treasure you have yet to kill/acquire.
I don't have a treasure in Azsuna with that note. Are you actually using HandyNotes_LegionRaresAndTreasures instead of this addon?
QuestsChanged: gives you a Broker plugin that shows up in any Broker display. I suppose I could give it a minimap icon as well, for people lacking in such displays. Or at least explain the requirement in its description. (It spent a long time being a personal addon for me.)
Tomtom is mentioned in the addon description:
You can right-click on any treasure node and hide it, if you just don't want to see that one. If you haveTomTom installed, you can also add a waypoint for that node.
So: right-click on any treasure/rare, and choose "createwaypoint" in the menu that pops up.
Hmm, you're right with my choice of addon. I had both installed since one lacked features the other had, or had wrong locations, etc. I switched to your addon after seeing a second "wrong" treasure. Carry on. And thanks for the explanations.
Treasure chest at 52.5, 66.4 in Highmountain, next to "Old Nefu" isn't included in this addon.
Treasure chest at 48.7, 45.8 in Highmountain isn't included either.
Treasure chest at 51.2, 53.0 in Highmountain isn't included. Path leading up to it is 51.4, 56.7
Rare mob pack at 52.7, 58.2 in a cave in Highmountain isn't included.
The Treasure Chest by Old Nefu is after he is killed when the Understone Breach is created through questing.

Crude Statuette
Three grays
51 resources
2 issues, both in Val'sharah.
First is treasure 38391, the marker was pretty far off from where it actually is. I found it at 65.9, 79.2 or so.
Second, treasure 38363 was not marked as completed when I got it. I ran the flag check script and it wasn't marked as completed, so I don't know if there's anything you could do or if it's just on Blizzard.
Thanks, I've moved that.
Suramar Shimmering Ancient Mana Cluster, 49.45 16.66. Cave entrance at 65.89 41.94. Does not count as a treasure for achieve.
Suramar treasure, 32.27 77.10 - lower level of the fortress. Take the portal at 31.02 85.09 to get up there
Suramar treasure at 48.3, 71.2 should read "Jump on book shelf, jump to ledge on right, jump to doorframe, jump to treasure" currently it doesn't mention the doorframe and it's nearly impossible to get to the treasure without jumping to it first.
I only have half the treasures for Suramar according to my achievement tracker, but adding up the ones that are left on the Suramar map doesn't equate out to the total in the achievement.
Any ideas, or am I just being dense?
If I am using HandyNotes_LegionRaresTreasures then is it true that I really don't need this one? Or, should I use this one and drop the other?
Depends!
The main difference, of course, is that one has rares and this one doesn't. If you absolutely must have rares, and don't want to wait around for me to decide to add them.
More subtly, I think my dataset of treasures is better, and I have a bunch of convenience features like including icons for where to find cave entrances / grappling path starts. But I obviously haven't really used LegionRaresAndTreasures extensively, beyond installing it the other day to compare these things.
Amended answer: I went ahead and added rares. So, now I just think mine's better.
I loaded your mod up to compare because I haven't been happy with the other addon. So far, yours seems more up to date, more accurate, less intrusive. But I'm not seeing the rares on the map.
Oh, sorry, that's because I wrote that comment having just added the rares to the alpha build on wowace. Then I didn't actually *release* it until this morning. So, that was a bit misleading for me to say in a comment on the release page without clarification.
If you update now to v6, you should see them.
QuestID 39083 (Small Treasure Chest) in Val'sharah - Radcliffe Landing 37,57 mark as incorrect. No box there.
