Prey Marker Reforged

Highlights the Prey targets you still need on the Hunt Table map and in NPC dialogs, for the Normal/Hard/Nightmare Mode III achievements — auto-detects any client language. Fixed & multilingual fork of Torick's Prey Achievement Marker.

A fixed, multilingual fork of Torick's Prey Achievement Marker. It marks the targets you're still missing directly on the Hunt Table map (and in its target-selection dialogs) for the three evergreen achievements:

  • Prey: Normal Mode III
  • Prey: Hard Mode III
  • Prey: Nightmare Mode III

Each of these three achievements tracks the same ~30 targets, at the matching difficulty — this addon highlights exactly which ones you still need, at a glance, instead of cross-referencing your achievement pane by hand.

Why a fork?

The original addon tracked the current-season Prey achievements, not the evergreen "Mode Normal/Hard/Nightmare III" ones — so it silently tracked progress on the wrong criteria and never showed anything useful. On top of that, its difficulty text ("Hard"/"Nightmare") was hardcoded in English and compared against the client's own game text, so it could never match on a non-English client.

This fork:

  • Targets the correct three achievements (IDs 42701/42702/42703).
  • Detects the difficulty words automatically, in whatever language your client is running in, by diffing the three achievements' own (Blizzard- localized) names against each other — no translation table to maintain, and it works in any WoW client language, not just the four listed below.
  • Adds a /pam debug diagnostic command (see below).

Features

  • Icon overlay + tooltip on missing targets, both on the map pins and in the target-selection dialog.
  • Tooltip text shows the full localized achievement name(s) a target is still needed for — pulled straight from the game.
  • Falls back to a classic chat reminder when the Achievements window is opened, in addition to the map/dialog highlighting.
  • The diagnostic command's own output (/pam debug) is localized in English, French, German, and Spanish, falling back to English otherwise.

Commands

Command Effect
/pam debug Diagnostic dump: confirms difficulty-word detection, checks whether the map frame is open, and reports how many target pins were scanned/matched

Installation

  1. Extract/copy the PreyMarkerReforged folder into your World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\ folder.
  2. Enable it in the AddOns list, then open the Hunt Table map to see missing targets highlighted.

Known limitations

  • Relies on the map frame name and pin template used by the current game version (CovenantMissionFrame, AdventureMap_QuestOfferPinTemplate); if a future patch changes these, /pam debug will report 0 recognized pins — that's the first thing to check.
