HandyNotes: Legion (Broken Isles) Treasures and Rares

Table of Contents

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

Just curious: will this addon be updated for Legion Remix or will a separate one be made for that?

Treasures are not hidden when they are found

Argus chests cannot be disabled in any of the 3 zones. Is there a way to do this that I am not understanding?

Actually, it's HandyNotes: Argus that cannot be disable - will post there.

When in Dalaran it puts treasure chests all over the map and mini map for the Pebble. Can you please add an option to hide just the pebble nodes as tit is super annoying with all them cluttering up the map and mini map, you can not see any thing else on the mini map with all those chests.

Thank you

I have found a bug, so far its only happend in Highmountain. When I am in Thundertotem or the Drogpar cave, the treasures do not show up correctly on the map, it overlays every treasure in the zone over the zoomed in map. I have searched the comments but noone else seems to have this problem, maybe another mod is interfering? if anyone could help Id be grateful as I like the look of the mod
