Hi! I'm farming Jazzrik atm and I did modify ESN Rare (badly) by adding the NPC name and ID into the list. It worked for a while and treated him like a rare so it alerted me when he spawned. Today for some reason it stopped working and no amount of uninstall/re-install clearing the cache will make it work again.

I can use _NPCScan as it allows me to add him in manually and works wonderfully when he spawns, but it's a pain to have to delete the cache each time.

Is there an add-on that can do the nameplate searching of ESN Rare combined with the manually updating NPC's of _NPCScan so that it keeps alerting me each time he spawns?

*edit*

For some reason it still picks up the fact that he's "rare" in the combat log but will not do it via any other option even though they're selected. So if there's something else that I need to change please let me know :)

Thanks :)

With _npcscan, just set it to alert even if cached and then you don't have to worry about clearing the cache all the time... that's what I do... if I find a mob, I check "do i need it" and if not, i move on... (or just kill anyway for the loot)

I don't seem to have that option?

Would it be "search for completed Achievement NPC's"?

Have you tried using SilverDragon?

I installed SilverDragon but it doesn't seem to work. These are the errors I'm getting..

When I try to open the options with /silverdragon it doesn't recognise that command.

Apologies for the spam :)

Okay so I deleted WTF, Interface, and Cache then ran a repair tool and only installed Silverdragon. Seems to be working now. Yeah that's nice but doesn't have the option to add NPC's to it.

You were missing/not updated Ace3. I belive both come with SilverDragon, so reinstalling that solved your problem. In any case, it isn't designed to add anything other than its own database. Might be a limitation, or perhaps it was designed that way, I don't know; I'm not the developer.

Would it be "search for completed Achievement NPC's"?

Yes, this will make _npcscan search for mobs that are already "completed" as kills/finds.

But once it's saved in the cache it won't alert me when he spawns. Even with that ticked. I still need to clear the cache each time.
