Description

Satchel Scanner

Back in the end of 2011 Blizzard implemented a feature known as "Call to Arms". This was introduced to reduce waiting times inside the Dungeon Finder by handing out a reward to certain specializations.

The reward for when there was an shortage of i.e Tanks or Healers, would be a "Satchel". Given to the specialization if they signed up and completed the dungeon. These Satchels contains appropriate loot for the current expansion. Gold, items, etc.

This addon scans the Dungeon Finder/Raid Finder for when Call to Arms is active.

If there is an reward available (Legion - Shattered Satchel of Cooperation), you will be notified.

If there is a satchel for (Tank/Healer/Dps) from Instance X it will notify you with warning that you can get a Satchel from Instance X for Specialization Y.

How do I use the addon?

  • '/ss3 toggle'                     This will show the Mainframe of the addon.
  • '/ss3 config'                     This will open the configuration page.
  • '/ss3 reset'                       This will reset the addon to it's default settings
  • '/ss3 reset-counter'        This will reset the satchel counter
  • '/ss3 start'                        This will start the scanner
  • '/ss3 stop'                        This will stop the scanner
  • '/ss3 faq'                          This will open the FAQ/About page

Once the addon is open:

Press 'Start' to start scanning and 'Stop' to stop scanning
Pressing X will hide the frame and you will have to show it again by using /ss3 toggle
The addon still scans while being hidden, if an satchel is found the Main window will show itself.

Options

You can currently scan for Satchels from Heroic/Mythic/Timewalking and all open Looking For Raid wings! The addon will automatically resize itself depending on your scanning options.

You can currently choose to do the following

  • Play Soundwarnings when an Satchel is found.
  • Show an raidwarning when an Satchel is found.
  • Scan while inside an instance, allows you to find satchels while inside an instance or pause while you're inside it.
  • Scan while in group, allows you to find satchels while in an group that are usually hidden by default while in a group.
  • Change the scanner interval (How often the scanner checks the Dungeon Finder/RaidFinder if there is an Call to Arms)
  • Choose between scanning for either, Tank, Healer or Dps.
  • Choose multiple dungeons and raids.

F.A.Q

Q: Is it true that DPS can recieve a Shattered Satchel of Cooperation?

A: Yes. DPS can receive Satchels from both Dungeons and Raidfinder, while uncommon that CTA is being called for DPS it does happen on occasion.

Q: Why does Satchel Scanner list that an Satchel is available when I'm in a group but when I open the Dungeon Finder there's nothing there?

A: This is Intended and not on my end. You will have to leave your Party/Raid to be able to Queue for the Reward. Note: Queuing while inside an group will not give you an satchel.

Q: Why doesn't Satchel Scanner scan while inside an LFG/LFR Queue?

A: This is intended. While inside an LFG or LFR Queue the addon will not scan for satchels. This is because it already assumes you've queued up for an Satchel.

Q: Will you add the option to Auto-Queue when an Satchel is available?

A: No. This will never make it into the addon.

Q: The addon just says "Scanning..." is it still working?

A: Yes, unless something have changed in the game this text will change when an satchel becomes available.
