PSW Hunt for the Rares: Cataclysm
**Cataclysm expansion module for PSW Hunt for the Rares.**
Adds rare tracking, routing and legacy-content support across Cataclysm's major outdoor zones, including two of the expansion's most recognizable mount hunts.
---
## Cataclysm Support
Current coverage includes:
- Mount Hyjal
- Vashj'ir
- Deepholm
- Uldum
- Twilight Highlands
- Molten Front
The module includes expansion-specific rare definitions, map data, completion signals, routing and encounter guidance where supported.
---
## Hunt Mode
Supported rares can participate in HFTR's built-in **Hunt Mode** where the encounter lifecycle provides enough information to do so safely.
Hunt Mode can:
- guide you toward eligible remaining rares
- skip completed or unavailable targets when HFTR has a reliable signal
- use HFTR's built-in navigation arrow
- work without TomTom
- provide cave, patrol, summon and activation guidance
- handle multi-location and special-access encounters
Live detection remains authoritative whenever a supported rare is actually present.
---
## Cataclysm Encounter Types
Cataclysm includes cave, underwater, patrol, multi-spawn and long-camp encounters. Vashj'ir uses Retail-aware subzone mapping so underwater waypoint guidance can stay tied to the correct map context.
Large world bosses are kept separate from ordinary rare-hunt progress.
---
## Mount Hunts
The module includes dedicated mount relationships and supported location data for:
- **Aeonaxx** — Phosphorescent Stone Drake
- **Poseidus** — Subdued Seahorse
Historical respawn information remains guidance only. HFTR does not pretend it knows a live spawn timer when it does not.
---
## Legacy Accuracy
This is a legacy retrofit expansion module.
HFTR preserves reliable completion signals, current Retail map data and documented encounter mechanics wherever practical. Some historical rotations, phases or availability systems cannot always be reconstructed perfectly years later.
Where exact state is uncertain, HFTR uses conservative fallback behavior rather than inventing timers or availability rules. Live detection always takes priority over a historical prediction.
---
## Current Release Status
**Cataclysm v0.1.3 is the current HFTR Cataclysm release.**
The current release refreshes the outdoor roster and improves Aeonaxx and Poseidus mount-hunt data while preserving conservative legacy timing behavior.
---
## Requirements
**Requires:**
- PSW Hunt for the Rares Core v0.15.1 or newer
This project is an expansion plugin and is not intended to run standalone.
