More information about the author
Requires the TomCat's Tours main addon
Latest features: All rare addons now have a description panel available (similar to the quest descriptions when you click a quest in the log).
The current releases have updated loot tables but will need the spawn descriptions filled and translated. Any volunteers?
TomCat's Tours offers a lightweight tour of the Mechagon rares
- View all of the rares locations on both the world map and the zone mini map.
- HandyNotes and TomTom integration if you have it
- Simple icons
- Star means you can still kill and loot the rare.
- Check mark means you have already looted this rare for the phase and have to wait for the reset to kill it again.
- You can view the stars on the Mechagon map and Rares Log from anywhere
when clicking on a star, all i get is this

Hi Thalid83:
Thanks. I can see what went wrong here. I'll put out a fix later this morning.
In reply to TomCat:
Hi TomCat,
Sadly all 4 older rare addons (Mechagon, Nazjatar, Arathi, Darkshore) still spit out this error whenever clicking on a rare's star on the map. N'zoth is fine.
My versions:
TomCats, v01.05.00
TomCatsArathiHighlandsRares, v01.04.06
TomCatsDarkshoreRares, v01.04.08
TomCatsMechagon, v01.04.06
TomCatsNazjatar, v01.04.06
TomCatsNzoth, v1.4.23
And here's the Mechagon message:

hi there,

In reply to coldalloy:
Thanks for the report. I've pushed out an update that will fix the issue
Is there a way to hide the NPC icons on the minimap? Mine didn't show at one time, then they came back, and now when a chest pops, it's hidden by the npc icon. Frustration..
In reply to sprimm1:
Hi - enable / disable of the NPC icons (stars) appearing on the minimap is a function of HandyNotes. Check your HandyNotes settings for that, or you can disable TomCat's Tours from acting as a HandyNotes plugin (it will still draw stars on the world map and you will then also get the stars on the battlefield map - try it and hit Shift-M)
In reply to TomCat:
While playing with the handy notes, I found a rare icon opacity and scale settings. I reduced them to 62% on the minimap so now the chests show up perfectly.
Hi, not sure if this would be possible, would it be possible to add an option to hide the rares/stars on the map if all known loot for it is known?
Hi!
Can your addon "read" the chat? Let's say "Drill Rig DR-JD99 has been activated! It will finish excavating in 1 minute." appears in chat, is it possible to show related rare (Gemicide in this case) as active on the map? Some rares do zone yells, maybe those could also be triggers for the ative NPC icon?
Another suggestion. You know this animation around the character's arrow when you open the map?
Maybe it could be used to show where certain rare is when you mouseover its name in the rare log?
Currently I see a rare in the log and what it drops, but to find it I'll need to mouseover every icon on the map.
With animation added all I'll have to do is mouseover the rare I want to camp to see its location.
Thanks for this addon 😋
Hi Natlyz:
I would like to figure out where this fits with the current addons - are you available to stop by my stream and chat about it? I'm live now - https://twitch.tv/TomCat
If not, that's ok - I'm sure I'll be discussing with the community sooner or later on this - it's a popular ask!
In reply to TomCat:
In version 1.3.4, left-clicking the rare name in the pop-up list would set a waypoint to the selected rare. Would it not be possible to implement that functionality in right-clicks? (or, actually, re-implement the left-click and make a right-click bring up the description panel; somehow that left/right click assignment feels more intuitive to me)
Hi geline:
Left click the star next to the name. This is consistent with how the name vs. icon works in the quest log so I am trying to keep the same feel for the rares log.
In reply to TomCat:
<d'oh> And I've spent the past few weeks thinking you'd eliminated that functionality in favor of the description panel... sometimes I'm definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Thanks for gently setting me on the right track.

Hi Enigma_TL:
Thanks for the report. This is fixed in v1.3.6 of all 4 rares addons that it affected (Mechagon, Nazjatar, Arathi Highlands, and Darkshore)
"TomCats-Mechagon has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI. You can disable this addon and reload the UI."
Using TomCatsTours Mechagon 1.3.5
Happens when using Firestick for WQ Scorched Earth from the quest tracker UI. Using item from bag work fine without issue.
Hi A11ectis:
This isn't specific to any one quest, but some users seem more prone to hit it than others. Please help me to track this down - the issue can be logged here:
start wow
enter the following on the chat line (copy and paste it)
/console taintLog 2
exit wow
start wow
play until you get the error
quit wow
check the C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_retail_\Logs\taint.log file and please provide that in an issue report (click issues from the top of the page) You should be able to attach the file. Thanks!
