PSW Hunt for the Rares: Dragonflight
**Dragonflight expansion module for PSW Hunt for the Rares.**
Adds rare tracking, Hunt Mode integration, encounter guidance, routing and legacy-content support across the **Dragon Isles** and later Dragonflight outdoor zones.
Requires the main **PSW Hunt for the Rares** addon.
---
## Dragonflight Support
Current coverage includes:
- The Waking Shores
- Ohn'ahran Plains
- The Azure Span
- Thaldraszus
- The Primalist Future
- The Forbidden Reach
- Zaralek Cavern
- Emerald Dream
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.
---
## Dragonflight Encounter Types
Dragonflight contains several distinct rare systems. The module accounts for ordinary daily rares, scheduled encounters, summoned rares, profession-summoned Forbidden Reach encounters, fishing/interaction summons, Zaralek rotating groups, Emerald Dream activation/event rares, multi-location targets and interior routes.
These systems are not treated as one generic rare model.
---
## Forbidden Reach Profession Rares
The Forbidden Reach includes profession-related rares summoned through Artisan Curio interactions.
HFTR identifies these as **summoned encounters** rather than normal world spawns. A supported rare detected in the world is immediately treated as present regardless of who summoned it.
## Zaralek Cavern
Zaralek Cavern uses historical rotating rare groups. HFTR stores that information separately from ordinary completion tracking so legacy rotation data does not become an unreliable live availability claim.
## Emerald Dream
Emerald Dream coverage includes ordinary rares, event-driven encounters and activation mechanics. Strong completion signals are kept separate from activation-specific behavior.
---
## 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
**Dragonflight v0.1.3 is the current HFTR Dragonflight release.**
The current release refreshes the active rare roster, adds Breezebiter and improves supported mount-hunt data for Breezebiter, Zenet Avis and Karokta.
---
## 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.
