HandyNotes: Battle for Azeroth Treasures

Table of Contents

Want Shadowlands treasures? 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 Azurite".
- 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.

Looks like it's still using the old call for quest flag completed. Getting this error constantly in bfa zones

Also GetAtlas info needs to be replaced in handler.lua with C_Texture.GetAtlasInfo

You have an incredibly out of date version of the addon, and you need to update it. This was all fixed with v9 back in October.

I'm waiting for it to be approved over at HandyNotes: Shadowlands Treasures. (The link won't work until the moderation happens.)

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/handynotes-battle-for-azeroth-achievements has been deleted for some reason so it likely wont be updated anymore. Any plan to update this handynotes to include the remaining acheivements? Such as

Carved in Stone, Written in Blood

Dune Rider

A Loa of a Tale

Drust the Facts, Ma'am

I would like to see the BfA Achievements module incorporated into this add-on if possible as well.

Just curious if there are plans to update to include all the new 8.3 rares and treasures. Thanks!

can you add option to remove the skull from map if the achievement/loot is already obtained?

The problem with this addon is that is is just a dump of everything.

If i want to hide mechanized chests, i have to hide all nodes on every character 1 by 1 or hide treasures all together because there is only 1 check in the options

It doesn't hide rares that have already given their rewards either

I like it for the 6 principal zones but the last updates messed up a lot of my visibility on the new zones

I will revert to pre-8.2 update

Any way to automatically hide rares you killed and got the blue prints from them?

A lot of rares are not coming back the next day after you kill them in Nazjatar - Tidelord Aquatius, Elder Onu, Voice in the Deeps are the 3 I noticed, though I'm pretty sure there's more.

Caverndark Terror's icon is in the COMPLETELY wrong place, as well. You're also missing icons showing where the 4 "hidden" ancient rares are. (Oronu, Urduu, Anemonar, and Kelpwillow).

This addon also shows where world quest "rares" are, but they aren't actual rares. They're just silver dragon portraits that spawn to kill for world quests. They don't drop anything, and Blizzard even clarified in a blue post that they aren't rare spawns.

Can you please make it function more like the warfront rares handynotes? With the larger skulls that are purple when you havent gotten the drop yet, white when youve gotten what they drop and hidden when youre loot locked?

its also not really necessary to show rest in pistons achieve progress since most will be done that fairly quickly.

Lot of stuff could be added to this - nazjatar chest locations, cat figuine locations, mechagon construction project locations, etc

and some rares have more than one spawn point which the other handynotes modules do well, (see draenor treasures) but this one is lacking atm.

will also be nice to add the note functionality where hovering over the skull says "in cave" or "entrance at these coords"

Thanks
