FIVE . MACROS AND FURTHER TIPS

NOTE: AS OF THE SHATTERING, MINIMUM SPAWN TIME DROPPED TO APPARENTLY 3-4 HOURS, NOT SIX.

NEXT NOTE: After this edit somebody experienced an HOUR AND A HALF between Vyragosa and TLPD. Goodbye sleep, TLPD campers. :( Good luck guys, stay strong.

MACROS

Below are macros to create.  One has both Time-Lost and Vyragosa.  Below has one for each with different triggered sounds on target so you can hear immediately which it is just in case it's Vyragosa and you can instantly get up and walk away.  (For those of us who have killed her too many times and don't care about her anymore, regardless of people possibly getting timers.)

AGAIN, HAVE YOUR PET ON PASSIVE.

[ONE MACRO FOR BOTH]

FURTHER TIPS

NOTE:  SILVER DRAGON AND NPC SCAN NO LONGER PLAY SOUND IF YOUR GAME SOUND IS OFF.

Get the following addons:
Silver Dragon (rare detection)
Prat (chat enhancements)

First, after installing Silver Dragon make sure your cache remains clear.  Your cache location will be in your World of Warcraft folder, / cache / WDB / enUS / .   Delete the entire contents of enUS.  I know there's only one file you really have to delete but I clear the whole thing because god damnit I can.

Second, this is how I have silver dragon set up:

Set up prat so that it plays the same sound in party chat that it does when it detects a rare.  Then create a chat channel for people in party.  Go into prat settings, to the Module Control tab.  Enable Sounds.  Then go to the Extra Stuff tab, to the sounds section and set up your chat how you want it.  Make sure to set up the party leader / dungeon guide to the same sound as party.  This way when other people's silver dragons go off (if they're set up the same, which hopefully they will be) you'll hear it if you're not paying attention.

NOTE:  SILVER DRAGON AND NPC SCAN NO LONGER PLAY SOUND IF YOUR GAME SOUND IS OFF.

- NOTE:  MAKE SURE TO CLEAR THE CACHE SO SILVER DRAGON (and NPC_Scan) CAN OPERATE PROPERLY.  It is located at your wow folder / Cache / WDB / enUS /  .  I just delete everything in the folder.  You'll be fine.
