Rarity
NEW: Rarity now has a Discord server!
If you're interested in following the development process or contributing, you should also check out the official GitHub repository. We're always in need of more hands to help us make the addon better!
Rarity tracks how many times you've tried to obtain various rare items like mounts, battle pets, and toys. It will tell you how likely you are to obtain the item, track how long you've been farming for it, and tell you how lucky you've been so far. Although it's mostly used for mounts, battle pets, and toys, it supports pretty much any item, including profession patterns, archaeology projects, and more.

Out of the box, Rarity includes support for every single mount, battle pet, and toy in the game which require some time to farm. It also includes support for some mount-related items like Skyshard, Primal Egg, and Giant Dinosaur Bone. It'll even notice if you mouseover a Mysterious Camel Figurine, plus lots of other stuff. Rarity factors in the size of a typical group when determining probabilities, and can also tell you if you've killed various bosses this week (or day). Holiday just started, and you didn't notice? Rarity will give you a helpful reminder to run those holiday dungeons or daily quests if you still need an item from them.
If Rarity doesn't track something you want to track, you can add it yourself! Just about everything is user configurable.
Curious what math is going on behind the scenes? The author of Bunny Hunter created the original algorithms. He wrote an article about it here. Your chance to obtain an item doesn't increase as you farm it; Rarity is just telling you how lucky you've been so far. It can be remarkably cathartic to see a progress bar move up as you spend hours upon hours trying for that Disgusting Oozeling.
Main features
- Rarity is primarily an LDB feed with a large tooltip. It can function as either a mini-map icon (you have to turn this on in the options), or as a standard LDB feed (use a display like Fortress, Button Bin, Titan Panel, or Chocolate Bar).
- Provides a progress bar, which you can toggle by clicking the icon or feed label.
- Adds info to NPC and item tooltips, showing you if it drops or contains something that Rarity tracks. Rare mobs with a guaranteed drop show which item they drop and if you've defeated them yet.
- Includes full source info, telling you how to obtain everything Rarity tracks.
Other features
- Share packs of items with other users
- Can automatically add waypoints to TomTom for certain items
- Uses statistics whenever possible to keep track of attempts
- Breaks your farming down by session, day, week, and month
- Looks at your instance locks to see if you've defeated various bosses recently
- Reminds you if you need to farm a holiday dungeon or daily quest, and hides holiday items that aren't available right now
- Supports bonus coin rolls
- Automatically screenshots when you obtain an item
- Keeps track of rare achievements like Frostbitten and Glorious
- You can add your own items to track
- Lets you modify your attempt count without having to edit saved variables
- Automatically imports data from Bunny Hunter if you're switching

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the actual state of this addon? Been using it for years and there's no 10.1 update :(
In reply to BarDOGfgc:
There's an alpha version that has some of the new items (most toys are missing, though), contributed by community members. Beyond that, not much has been going on. Rarity's creator hasn't played WOW since WOD or so, and I haven't since BFA I believe.
Blizzard's UI remake caused some issues that I haven't been able to resolve and community contributions are few and far between, so right now it's a lot of people asking for updates and no one to actually do the large amount of work required to keep things updated.
In reply to Cakechart:
thanks
rarity isnt tracking my firelands mount
also what do the colors on the bar mean?mine started off green now its yellow and some is orange
In reply to psprom14:
Presumably, you're referring to the "Luckiness" indication? It would depend on the % displayed.
As for Firelands: Blizzard broke that when they introduced the Timewalking version of it. If it still isn't working, there likely haven't been enough complaints (to them) to actually bother with fixing the kill statistics. You can submit a bug report for it ingame, though I doubt it will do much after all this time.
If you check your ingame statistics, it likely won't increase for the relevant bosses, and that's why Rarity isn't picking up the attempts.
In reply to Cakechart: yes i guess thats whay 80% is orange
i still get mount chance even tho it doesnt work?
In reply to psprom14:
Sorry, didn't see this response. Rarity's tracking is completely independent of Blizzard's game server logic, so yes you still get a chance at the mounts even if Rarity doesn't show it.
I absolutely love this addon. It's made the grind for pets and mounts way more enjoyable lol. Is there any way to make it so the addon combines data from all characters? It's a bit jarring to see certain stats when I've got them so much higher on another toon. I'd rather just see my combined attempts for mounts and pets across my account. If that's already a feature, please tell me how to enable it!
In reply to forrestanthony:
Uhm, all attempts should be combined by default... unless you're using separate profiles?
pls add the Dragonflight Season 2 Keystone Dungeons since they can drop Mounts but we are not able to do custom track of the mounts since the mount IDs are already used!!!
In reply to peet207:
I don't know of any way to track keystone dungeons, I'm afraid. Rarity has never supported them AFAIK and I also don't have a way of testing them.
[09:21 PM] Rarity: Oh no! Something went horribly wrong. This is what happened:
Failed to add tooltip line for item 1 (AV4xXlReU2l0ZW1zXlReTjFeVF5TZW5hYmxlZF5CXlN0eXBlXlNJVEVNXlNtZXRob2ReU0ZJU0hJTkdeU2V4cG9ydF5CXlNyZXBlYXRhYmxlXkJeU3pvbmVzXlReTjFeUzE5NzBedF5TY2hhbmNlXk41MDBeU25hbWVeU1N0cmFuZ2V+YEdvb3BeU2l0ZW1JZF5OMTg3NjYyXlNkYXRlc15UXk4yMDIyMDIyM15UXlN0aW1lXkY0ODMxMjE4OTA4MDc1NjUzXmYtNDFeU2F0dGVtcHRzXk4xODFedF50XlN0aW1lXkY0ODMxMjE4OTA4MDc1NjUzXmYtNDFeU3Nlc3Npb25eVF5TYXR0ZW1wdHNeTjc2XnReU2F0dGVtcHRzXk4xODFedF50XlNzaWduYXR1cmVeU1JGSTJQRDRqT2pKME5udGdJbmMvWkE9PV5TYnVpbGReTjcxNV50Xl4=) in group Custom (invalid ID or the server didn't return any data)
If you didn't change anything that might've caused this, please report the error to the addon developer so it can be fixed :)
In reply to deannlenahan:
Check your custom items. One of them seems to have some invalid data in there :)
I think it would be cool if we could track perception/finesse procs when mining or herbing as well as things that come from base mining such as khaz'gorite ore.
In reply to LGhost:
Tracked here: https://github.com/WowRarity/Rarity/issues/556
setup latest alpha, drop mount with Rukhmar, screenshot not taken.
In reply to clancyby:
Do you still have the same script error? "Screenshot not taken" doesn't tell me anything useful since that's handled by the WOW client itself.

got two mounts from world bosses and a pet from a crab on a timeless island, and it turned out that the addon did not take screenshots. the only mistake when killing bosses.
In reply to clancyby:
Probably this issue: https://github.com/WowRarity/Rarity/issues/530
Should be fixed if you update to the latest alpha :)
I don't know if it's just me or if this addon isn't being updated anymore? I'm so confused, there are no mounts, pets, toys, nothing from Dragonflight listed in Rarity and when you try and create a custom thing for anything in DF it can't seem to do it either.
