Because I'm lazy any only have a handfull of things to find in the massive world, I found this website to help me find the ridiculous locations of the legendary fish. Unfortunately by default to see the heatmap for most of the animals, you need a 'pro' account. I disagree, so I found a way around it. Steps below (image for context)...

  1. Create a Free account, log in
  2. Open the developer console (F12 in chrome) and enter window.user.hasPro = true;
  3. Click on one of the 'Free' tier animals (really any item thats free) to get events to fire
  4. Presto! You're a pro.

Obviously this could be used with greasemonkey/tampermonkey, but you can do that part. I was just mucking about in the site's scripts and thought I'd share.

Edit:

So if you want to make a userscript out of this you can use the code below. I added the last two lines to automatically toggle the 'pro' switch and reset the view. Unless they change the element Ids, it will suffice.

window.user.hasPro = true; document.getElementById('heatmap-category-101').click(); document.getElementById('heatmap-category-101').click();

Thanks for the tip, I found a way to get it working without needing an account too:

window.user = {hasPro:true};

Seems to work for me at least. Edit: though I just realized this site needs an account to save found items anyway, darn, IGN map used cookies instead..

Yeah, the storing of those values is done server-side and the credentials for the account are obviously from a free account. It might be possible to get around it, but I am not going that deep into it.
