tldr: Help find the current npc for the Achievement "Fisherfriend of the Isles",
-which also helps with the fishing artifact "Underlight Angler"
(Tested on US & EU realms, should work for all realms)
- /fft and /fft ? to show info
- Partial localization: FisherFriend & Map names are localized.
- Slash commands/help list are currently english only.
/FFT is the main command & can be followed by: ?, W, N, M, C, A, NA, RN
/FFT - prints the current Fisherfriend and reset time
/FFT W - Waypoint for current Fisherfriend
/FFT N - set waypoint for the Next Fisherfriend
/FFT M - set waypoint for Margoss
/FFT C - clear map pin
/FFT A / NA - announcment for current/next Fisherfriend
/FFT RN - show latest release notes
/FFTO or /FFTS - Open the options page
/RL - Reload interface
Tons of other addons for tracking reputations, fishing skill, etc...
But none to show which Fisherfriend is up that day!
-Designed to show the current Fisherfriend with navigation by waypoint or map pin.
-Options to show the next Fisherfriend if you wish to plan out your next day.
-Option to show Margoss directions as well.. though not a Fisherfriend,
can be very helpful for other Underlight related fishing/achievements.
TomTom is recommended but not required.
Same with your choice of LDB addon, such as Titan panel.
None are required, but certainly work well with the addon.
Designed using libraries: Ace3, Dashi & LibraryDataBroker 1.1
Quite simply: The Underlight Angler (fishing pole) is unique
by not only being the only artifact that still works,
but specifically, it has a great deal of utility by granting your character:
-the ability to walk on water,
-breath underwater,
-faster swimming,
-and, technically, increasing your stealth while fishing
though I'm not sure anyone can confirm that the last one still works :)
This addon is meant to help find which Fisherfriend is up this day,
which means you can work on reputation toward the "Fisherfriend of the Isles" achievement
But also, your main can farm the rare lures for your alts,
so that they can get the Underlight faster as well.
Though the achievements "A Cast Above the Rest" & "Bigger Fish to Fry"
are now account wide/warbound, still need the lures for the artifact fish :)
Still working on localizing the rest of the addon
Randomness regarding updates if you've managed to read this far down ;)

-FFT is not a reputation addon.... it's not even a profession, fishing, npc or mapping addon, but...
those are the things people are likely to be looking for when they find this...
and though it certainly taps into all of those, at it's core... it's a calendar :)
A weirdly 6 day calender that cycles & doesn't easily match up to a typical 7 day calendar,
or even a typical 30 day month.
Which is possibly why no one wrote an addon for the FisherFriends in the many years before FFT :)
I got lucky & figured out a way to show the info in game vs having to check websites everyday.
That being said... my knowledge of addon design/writing is limited, as well as the time available to
update on a regular basis. I will always do my best to stay ahead of the patches,
even though it might be to update a few numbers so the game won't complain :)
So... that being said, I know it isn't flashy, but it gets the job done.
If you like it, Woot!! If you don't, then hopefully you'll find something you do.
Either way, Weeee!!!! :D
Coffee is always nice :)
