Family Familiar Helper

Version: 2.1.8
by: Gello [More]

This addon's purpose is to make it easier to see at a glance which pet family has not been used for each tamer for the Family Familiar and related battle pet achievements.

For instance the original Family Familiar achievement asks that you complete the following:

  • Aquatic Acquiescence: Defeat 12 Master Tamers in Broken Isles with all Aquatic pets.
  • Best of the Beasts: Defeat 12 Master Tamers in Broken Isles with all Beast pets.
  • Mousing Around: Defeat 12 Master Tamers in Broken Isles with all Critter pets.
  • Dragons!: Defeat 12 Master Tamers in Broken Isles with all Dragonkin pets.
  • Ragnaros, Watch and Learn: Defeat 12 Master Tamers in Broken Isles with all Elemental pets.
  • Flock Together: Defeat 12 Master Tamers in Broken Isles with all Flying pets.
  • Murlocs, Harpies, and Wolvar, Oh My!: Defeat 12 Master Tamers in Broken Isles with all Humanoid pets.
  • Master of Magic: Defeat 12 Master Tamers in Broken Isles with all Magic pets.
  • Roboteer: Defeat 12 Master Tamers in Broken Isles with all Mechanical pets.
  • The Lil' Necromancer: Defeat 12 Master Tamers in Broken Isles with all Undead pets.
If you're keeping score that's 120 battles for this achievement. As of Dragonflight to get all six achievements you need to win 720 battles. This addon should make it easier to get there.

How To Use

The default behavior of this addon is to summon its window when you target one of the candidates that qualify for one of the achievements.

If you'd prefer to summon the window manually, you can turn off the automatic summoning by going into options (ESC to game menu -> Interface (Options on Dragonflight) -> AddOns) and unchecking 'Automatically show window on achievement targets'. There are a few other options there as well.

You can also summon the window with the /ffh macro command or by setting up a key binding in the key binding interface.

When first opened, you'll be presented with a list of achievements and your progress in each. Click one to open up a progress panel with a grid of the criteria and pet types completed so far.

Along the bottom of the progress panel are the total battles won with each pet family. Each achievement is different, but you'll know you've gotten sufficient wins when each pet type has a green check at the bottom. You can mouseover these totals to get a more familiar view of the achievement's progress.

Special thanks to Flohsakk from warcraftpets.com for this addon's idea. If you have any questions, feedback or bugs to report, please post a comment here. Thanks!

10/09/2022 version 2.0.0
- To allow for future growth and to allow localized names for achievements, the tabs across the bottom are replaced with a separate 'home' panel that has a list of family familiar achievements to choose from. Clicking into one of these will bring you to the progress for that achievement. Clicking the Back button in the progress panel will take you back to the list of achievements again.
- Settings have been moved to their own options panel in the default options interface panel. (Esc to game menu then Interface->AddOns (Shadowlands) or Options->AddOns (Dragonflight))
- The Lock Window option has been split into two options: 'Don't dismiss window with Escape key' and 'Don't move window unless Shift held'
- Added option 'Hide achievement list tooltips' to hide the tooltip for the top-level family familiar achievements.
- When the 'Automatically show on achievement targets' option is enabled, the window will not show if the achievement associated with the target has already been completed or if all criteria that matches the target's name is completed. If a criteria doesn't match a target's name, such as Addius the Tormenter/Tormentor, then this behavior will not kick in for that target and the window will be shown.
- Criteria tooltips have a solid dark color again so they're easier to read against the busy backgrounds.
- The tables to update for future expansions' achievements was reorganized and moved to AchievementInfo.lua.
- Family Familiar of Dragon Isles achievement and criteria added (Thanks Flohsakk!) for Dragonflight clients.
- Beta/PTR users will need to load out of date addons for this to work until the update for the Dragonflight pre-patch.

- Updated for 7.3 patch and the new Family Fighter achievement.
- While on the 7.3 client, two tabs will appear at the bottom of the window to switch between Family Familiar and Family Fighter.
- The green checks marking an achievement complete is now based on the achievement's completion status and not how many sub-achievements were finished. This should only be noticable by 7.3 PTR users: The PTR character copy seemed to copy the Family Familiar achievement but not the sub-achievements. So you may see green checks for totals while all pet types are blank. This is normal and should not happen on live servers.

Smile Great addon.

Thanks for this Gello, you've saved a few of us lots of time digging through the OCD interface looking for the right one.

Nice work

I saw that this had been updated and so wanted to comment on it.
If you're going for the Family Familiar achievement, this is a big help.

Wowhead will tell you if any npcs are available that might help you along.
This addon will then keep track of which you have encountered and so which you ought to look for next.

If you have an excellent memory, you may not need this.
If you do not and / or you like reminders and being sure, then this is definitely an addon for you.
Nice work. It does something simple, but helpful, well.

Edit: Now that I've read about the upcoming Family Fighter achievement, I'll be sure to keep this addon.
