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

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!
Hello!
Suggestion: drill rig names for certain rares 😊 e.g. "The Kleptoboss (drill CC61)"
Thanks.
Hi Natlyz:
Thanks for the suggestion!
Now that the feature to display additional information for the rares is nearly completed, I am looking for the specifics such as what you've written. You can also stop by while I'm streaming and this way we can chat about it. https://twitch.tv/TomCat Through tomorrow I will be working on Classic addons (due to the beta being extended until Friday) while Elleeta works on updating the loot tables for Mechagon and Nazjatar
Hello!
Option suggestion: no need for the Star button, make those buttons show/hide the Rares Log for the zone.
1st click - opens zone map with rares and rares list, 2nd click - opens current zone map and quest log.
Thanks.
Hi Natlyz:
Thanks for the suggestion - always appreciated.
I have some plans for the star vs. the text label. Text label opens up a description panel in the next update coming soon. Star button still deals with navigation/etc. (for today, TomTom arrows, in the future, quest selection type map interaction, i.e. highlight on the map, show quest blob type shape for spawn area if it's not a pinpoint spot, etc).
Edit: Sorry was troubleshooting something midway though responding - but keeping above for those curious:
If you are meaning the star button next to the question mark button, I would like to give users an option after some orientation period. Some users aren't too familiar with how the show/hide quest log button works since it looks like a help icon which is not worthy of exploration for most :) Also some users seem to prefer the star button while others like the shortcut buttons.
In reply to TomCat:
Looking forward to the next update. The simpler the better: too many buttons can be confusing :)
I agree 100%
When I first found, dowloaded , and installed this addon along with its Nazjatar counterpart, the description stated that it could be used as a plugin to your TomCat's TOurs main addon OR as a plugin to HandyNotes. So what changed? Why are the minimap button "greened" out and give you an error message that "Warning: TomCat's Tours must be installed and enabled for TomCat's Tours: Mechagon to function properly" when you click on them now? They worked okay without your main addon installed in version 1..0.12.
If this is now the norm going forward, is there any way to turn off the now useless to me minimap buttons at least?
Hi GnuclearGnome:
Yes, this is the norm going forward so as to keep resource utilization across the similar addons lower. Unfortunately it isn't possible to simply overwrite a frame created in XML with another that has the same name (causes errors) so centralization is going to be huge. I highly recommend Twitch for managing the addons so that you can be kept up to date.
The green minimap buttons are due to the images are now coming from the central source (TomCat's Tours main addon) - so what you are seeing is Blizzard's way of presenting a missing image - so updating TomCat's Tours or installing it will take care of that. Also, there is a control panel inside of the main addon that lets you do things like disable the minimap icons.
I hope this all helps!
Option to remove/move map screen buttons on the upper right corner? Maybe put them horizontally?
Hi Arkmenhah:
The World Quest Tracker buttons are actually movable - a little tricky to notice, but if you click on the title, i.e. Vale from your image, you get a move up / move down button. Give that one a try. thanks!
OMG!
Green minimap bottom...
In reply to å„’é›…:
restart WoW - this should fix it (not /reload, but exit game, relaunch). Please be sure that you have the TomCat's Tours main addon installed (see link at the top of the page). Twitch for installing addons is highly recommended as it will take care of dependencies automatically.
In reply to TomCat:
ok! I will try!
When I try to use follower equipment I get this error.
