HandyNotes: The War Within Treasures and Rares

A HandyNotes plugin to show the War Within treasure items and rares on your map. (That means it requires HandyNotes, so go install it as well.)

This includes:

That's a lot. So, if you don't want to be overwhelmed, you can ask to only see "notable" rewards. By default that means only things that you can learn -- mounts, pets, transmog, etc -- but you can turn that down if you really only care about hunting mounts. You might want to turn this on if you're bringing an alt through, and don't care about collecting treasures that you already picked up on your main.

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 point and do things: view related achievements, set waypoints, link its location to chat, and hide it.

To edit the settings, just right-click on the treasure chest icon that's added to the upper-right of the world map when you're in a zone this addon affects. You can get most of the relevant settings there, and you can open the HandyNotes settings dialog to see more.

I liked this, can you help me find more things? / I hated this, what should I avoid?

Sure! Here's other addons I have that fill similar niches:

These might also be useful if you're doing the sort of things that HandyNotes helps with:

  • QuestPointer adds pointers to your minimap towards quests
  • AppearanceTooltip shows quick previews of transmog, and lots of badges on gear showing whether you know its appearance yet
  • SilverDragon tries quite hard to tell you when rares or treasures are right by you
  • Handy Minimap Arrow makes your player-arrow on the minimap appear above all the notes I'm adding to it
  • What's On The Map? shows a list of the vignettes currently up nearby
  • Minimap Range Extender makes map vignettes visible from further away

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:

  1. Tell me where it is. I'll go find it eventually and track down the more obscure details I need to add it.
  2. Gather these details yourself and send them to me:
    • Zone and coordinates.
    • What it gives you.
    • 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.
    • If you want to provide a route something follows, I recomment RouteRecorder.

Problems?

If you have any problems, please use the issues link -- Curseforge's comments are genuinely bad at for quickly notifying me of anything.
