Description
Places customisable and annotated pins on the World Map and Minimap to assist with completing the Lunar Festival world event. You are informed of Achievement progress and quest completion on an account and per character basis.
Features Lunar Festival Themed Icons
How to Use
Instal like any other AddOn. Requires Handy Notes to work. Configurable.
No Need to Use Wowhead
Eastern Kingdoms / Kalimdor / Northrend / Cataclysm
Details
This addOn keeps you in the game and endeavours to make switching to Wowhead unnecessary, especially as you must do a lot of travelling throughout the continents. I've done the hard yards for you. In the zones I've listed above just look for the Lunar Festival themed icons. In particular, players will welcome the dungeon walkthroughs as well as my solution to the Wintergrasp problem, all clearly explained. The information is in the Tooltips of each icon. You get decent XP for just simply flying around. Strongly recommended for easy levelling of Alts!
Account and Character Completion Information
Completion Status
Where there is a relevant Achievement or quest, up to three lines of "completion" status will be shown. The first line is the overall account completion - any character at any time in the past. The second line will show whether the current chracter itself has completed the Achievement or quest. A third line shows the completion status for the character for an Achievement's criteria or a daily or seasonal quest. The completion status is colour coded: red = not yet completed and green = completed.
This addon doesn't work. It doesn't even show up in the list of addons.
v1.04
* Every location in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms (and Cataclysm locations too) have been slightly tweeked.
* This includes the big location fix reported by Megalithe for the Elder in Bloodhoof Village.
* Added intermediate map locations to Vashj'ir and Stranglethron Vale.
* Reversed the logic of the Uldum Elder markers - I had no way of knowing in advance which map would be used. It was 50/50 and I guessed wrong lol.
Coming soon: Northrend update where I will again finese the coordinates plus the addition of Dragon Isles. DI coded but still flying around Northrend lol.
Two things, this needs the Dragonflight Elders and the name of the addon should match the other Handy Notes ones in the form of Handy Notes: Lunar Festival. In game it's just "Lunar Festival" which took me way too long to figure out why it wasn't showing up.
In reply to topojijo:
Thanks for that! I didn't know that Blizzard had added Dragonflight achievements and/or Elders as the AddOn was programmed in readiness for the event PRIOR to the event. I'll get about searching for those new Elders. Many thanks.
In reply to Taraezor:
No problem. I didn't know either until I happened to be looking in my achievements list. Great work on this addon. Very appreciated.
Thanks for this update! Super useful!!
I was wondering if future versions/other holidays could using the right-click menu to be able to Set all instances of the elder icons as TomTom waypoints be worth the effort to implement?
It's a feature added to Handy Notes that I first saw in Kemayo's HandyNotes addon for Dragonflight Treasures,
In reply to GrimNotepad:
Hmmm I could investigate that. Problem I anticipate is that I selectively remove icons from the map when you have newly visited that Elder (if you have the option activated). But TomTom would remain as is.
(I realise there’s a huge delay with the Minimap getting updated, with my “removal” option but that’s a limitation of HandyNotes and my not wanting to slow your PC down)
Found an error with a pin, Elder bloodhoof in mulgure is at 100.00, 64.03
In reply to Megalithe:
Thanks for the report! It’ll be in the next update!
v1.03
Look for this update. Emergency fix. The third line of completion in the popup - telling you if the seasonal quest has been done yet on the character you are currently using. Currently it is always green if you completed it in a prior year. Obviously it should be red at the start of the event and then change to green for each elder as you visit. The following season revert back to red and so on. This is not happening.
This also affects the visibility of the icon too - an option you can toggle in the HandyNotes plugins configuration settings.
And of course the huge location fix submitted by hexpinLIVE below. Many thanks mate!
I basically forgot to code it in my rush to upload before I went on holidays. No excuses. v1.03 has the fix
Thank you for your work!
Quick update: Elder Meadowrun in Western Plaguelands... Location update 63.5, 36.16 (inside Mine/Cave).
I reloaded 1.02 (1/25/2023) I have a screenshot if needed.
In reply to hexpinLIVE:
Thanks heaps. I'm in game now. On to it!
Sorry, I don't know why, but this one didn't work for me. I installed a bunch of plugins for handynotes at once and this one just wouldn't appear with the others. Sorry
In reply to rainiepie:
Edit: I have not yet updated to 10.0.5. That would explain why it's totally missing in action. Update incoming.

In reply to Pbcx:
Ahhh I see - yeah you might be on to something there Pbcx, thanks for the help.
By the way to configure "options" such as icon selection then that can always be found via HandyNotes itself, through the in game menu interface. I have tested that too by randomly selecting a foreign language and playing the game in, say, korean or German. Whatever the language, it should work. Look for HandyNotes and then click the "+" to expand any menus etc.
