Rarity
Due to a Blizzard change in 7.0.3, Rarity no longer tracks AOE looting.
Any mobs that drop something will be counted, but mobs that drop nothing or drop only money will not be counted. This primarily affects items such as Skyshard.
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

Hey, Can you please update the .toc file to interface 90002 we don't get notification "addon out of date"? TY
Anyone else having issues with Rarity not tracking numbers both in chat or in the addon itself as of this week? (1/12/20)
In reply to cursesj:
It seems to be working for other mobs, but it's not counting Rukhmar or Nalak for me.
In reply to cursesj:
Blizzard seems to have broken the statistics. Nothing I can do about it.
In reply to cursesj:
yes it also does not track the Theater of Pain mount I forgot the name of it. I am talking about the arena not the instance dungeon.

Will you be adding the Ny'alotha Allseer for tracking?
In reply to Marynx84:
It's a welcome addition, but testing it might be a bit difficult until I can easily complete the raid on my own :)
I've asked this over on LS: Toasts addon page, as I use that to skin and sort my toast alerts.
So I've noticed since getting into pet/mount collecting that your addon creates it's own achievement style toasts, that the LS: Toasts addon doesn't skin.
Not 100% sure why this is, but probably because you're creating your own, any chance that somehow these two great addon's might end up working together?
Cheers!
In reply to griddark:
Rarity has some copy/paste code from Blizzard's achievement toasts. I don't know if it can be skinned (probably can, somehow), and unfortunately I don't have the time to look into it right now :/

I don't see any of the new SL mounts in the add-on. Am I missing something?
In reply to rheostatik:
Nope. They haven't been added yet.
In reply to Cakechart:
Any ETA? Farming stuff with rarity is so much more fun than without :/
In reply to lady_atia:
I agree. All stuff can be found in ATT, if you are looking for a complete list Cakechart.

Sorry, can't really give an ETA because it takes many hours and I've very little time these days. It's done when it's done, usually, unless someone contributes to speed up the process :)
Coincidentally, it's done now.
