HandyNotes: Mists of Pandaria (Treasures and Rares)
A HandyNotes plugin to show the Pandaria rares and treasures on your map.
They're rare spawns, so they're not guaranteed to be there... but at least you'll know where to look.
Items that you've already collected 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, so you'll likely still be interested in the item.)
Requires HandyNotes.
Want this but for Draenor? HandyNotes_TreasureHunter!
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

Posted Dec 11, 2025Here is a fix at least for Isle Of Thunder, did not test with Isle of Giants:
handler/handler.lua
`atlas = C_Texture.GetAtlasInfo(atlas)`
add the following after the above code so it becomes
```
atlas = C_Texture.GetAtlasInfo(atlas)
if not atlas then
return nil
end
```
then go down near the end to where this line is
`return icon_cache[point.atlas]`
and change it so it looks like this now (please note the indention increased, not sure if lua is strict on that
```
if icon_cache[point.atlas] then
return icon_cache[point.atlas]
end
```
this resolve the issue for me

It returns NIL for the following maps, that probably doesn't even exist in the MoP client:

Posted May 22, 2024In Remix it's interesting to farm rares, once a rare is killed the addon no longer shows the icon for it.

Posted Sep 9, 2016I love HandyNotes but I can't find out how to get rid of the red Xs that appear whenever I put down a Guild Bank. They appear permanently for every character on all character's maps, so my garrison is a solid mess of red. How do I clear ONLY this?

Posted Oct 29, 2016You can remove any Handynote from you map by clicking on the mark, and deleting it. You can also edit them this way. I would assume this still applies for add-ons which use handynotes

Posted Aug 1, 2016Looking for an alternative/replacement for LostTreasures and wondering if this covers all the same items, including locations for those items with multiple spawn points such as Ancient Jinyu Staff, Staff of the Hidden Master and Hardened Sap of Kri'vess?

Posted Jan 15, 2016wanted to add that the Ancient Jinyu Staff can also be located at 46.4 65.3 in the jade forest. I have found it there twice now even though the map only shows in on the otherside of the bend.

Posted Oct 13, 2013This isn't working at all for me. The Timeless Isle chests and Rares/Elites addons work fine. However, no matter what I do, LostAndFound WILL NOT work. I've tried disabling and reenabling, uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting my interface, WTF, and cache folders, playing with the settings, etc. I have it set to show everything. It's completely updated, and "load out of date addons" is checked just in case. Any idea why it's not working? It's not just on one toon, either. It's on all my 90s that it won't work.

Posted Aug 24, 2013Can i suggest one thing?
The addon should detect the Bind-on-Account items on my character's bags/bank and remove those items from all character's maps on that server. Because if i find, say, Blade of the Poisoned Mind on my alt i still see the icon of that item of that item on other characters on same server even tho there is no use in that anymore.
This obviously does not apply to the expensive trash items, just the BoA items.
