Overview

BeastCollector is a complete 3D Hunter Pet Model Wardrobe, 61-Family Encyclopedia, Taming Tome Progression Tracker, Open-World Unit Tooltip Inspector, and Multi-Hop Portal Route Navigator for World of Warcraft (Midnight 12.0+). Modeled after Blizzard's Appearances Wardrobe (WardrobeCollectionFrame) with a sleek dark-gold UI, it gives Hunters a live 3D gallery of all 2,635 tameable beast looks across all 61 pet families, automatic stable & active-pet synchronization, open-world unit tooltips, and a Quest-Phase Exclusive Beast Alert Radar.

Key Features

• 3D Hunter Pet Model Wardrobe (6x3 Grid + Interactive 3D Side Dossier): Browse all 2,635 unique tameable beast looks across 61 Hunter Pet families (HunterPetsDB-1.0) with live 3D creature rendering (PlayerModel), zoom/rotate controls, and instant search by beast name, zone, family, combat trait, or taming tome.
• Open-World Unit Tooltip Inspector & Taming Diagnostics (Patch 12.0 Secret-Value Safe): Hovering over any tameable beast in the open world adds rich BeastCollector lines directly to the unit tooltip: pet family, specialization (Ferocity, Cunning, Tenacity), active/passive combat abilities, whether its look is already collected in your stables, drop-tome attempt counters, and exact reasons why a beast cannot be tamed right now (missing Beast Mastery spec for Exotic families, creature level higher than player level, or unlearned Taming Tome).
• Quest-Phase Exclusive Beast Alert Radar (MountCollector-Style Popup Banner): Automatically warns you with a movable Quest-Exclusive Popup Alert Banner (BeastCollectorAlertFrame + sound alert) and unit tooltip warning whenever you encounter an uncollected Quest-Phase Exclusive beast (such as the 4 spectral-orange Paint-Crazed beasts in Harandar, Shadow of Dambala, Iron War Rylak, Death Skitterer, etc.) that can only be tamed BEFORE turning in a quest!
• Complete 11 Taming Tomes & Manuals Tracker (Tomes (11) Tab): Tracks all 11 special Taming Tomes & Manuals (Trials of the Florafaun Hunter, Simple Tome of Bone-Binding, Ancient Tome of Dinomancy, Tome of the Hybrid Beast, Blood-Soaked Tome of Dark Whispers, How to School Your Serpent, Mecha-Bond Imprint Matrix, Gargon Training Manual, How to Train a Dragonkin, Ottuk Taming, and Cinder of Companionship) using server-verified quest flags (C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted), innate racial passives, drop chances, expected kill counts, and a live Attempt Counter & Cumulative Luck Engine (1 - (1 - p)^K).
• Multi-Hop Portal & Zone-Exit Route Navigator: Clicking Plot Route to Beast / Tome builds an automatic step-by-step portal chain from isolated zones (Harandar / The Den, Silvermoon City, Voidstorm, Emerald Dream, Dornogal, Valdrakken, Oribos, Boralus / Dazar'alor, Stormwind / Orgrimmar) to your target's exact spawn coordinates using Blizzard's native 3D SuperTrack diamond pin (C_Map.SetUserWaypoint + C_SuperTrack) and TomTom.
• Live Stable Sync & Abandon Reconciliation: Automatically scans your active pet and all 205 Hunter Stable slots (C_StableInfo.GetStablePetInfo), updating your collected looks immediately—even when you release a pet into the wild (PetAbandon).
• Multi-Language Support (All 11 WoW Client Locales) + Instant Hot-Swap: Automatically detects your WoW client language (GetLocale() — supporting enUS, deDE, frFR, esES, esMX, ptBR, itIT, ruRU, koKR, zhCN, zhTW) with native localized zone names (C_Map.GetMapInfo), plus a quick [RU] / [EN] toggle button right in the window header (and /bc lang [auto|en|ru|de|fr|es|pt|it|ko|zh|tw]) to switch languages on the fly without /reload.
