Rarity

Table of Contents

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.

Looking for Rarity Item Packs? Scroll down.

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.

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

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

Update on the 7.3 version: Curse has a bug with their packager that is causing library corruption in several libraries. Unfortunately I can't release a working version of Rarity until Curse fixes the issue. You can track the issue in this forum thread: https://www.curseforge.com/forums/wow-sites/wow-sites-feedback/229808-library-autopackaging-packaged-a-diff-of-the-last

Is there any way to make the tooltip only toggleable via mouse clicks instead of mouse-over? It's always a bit irritating when I try to click on another button and the huge tooltip opens.

It's on my list to investigate further. I don't play anymore so unfortunately work on this add-on is pretty low priority. Sorry about that! :)

After I realm transfer a few characters all my data is broken. It count attempts on transferred character as a new data which mess up everything. Any way to make it work again? Any way to remove old data from characters before move?

In reply to Lorrdzik:

I'm not entirely sure, but it sounds as though you can fix it by renaming the entries in your Saved Variables file. You'll find it in <WoW folder>\WTF\Account\<Account name>\Saved Variables\Rarity.lua

I'd create a backup copy and then try editing the "<character name> - <realm name>" parts to reflect the new character names (and realms) for those characters that you did transfer and which are now broken. If you transferred between accounts, the <Account name> folder would have to be changed, too.

Unfortunately this is a known issue. Rarity has some behind the scenes tracking based on your character GUID, which changes when you transfer realms. The fix is to exit the game, open the Rarity saved variables file, find the affected character and delete out the section beginning with ["accountWideStatistics"].

Thank both for the answer but I manage to work that out. I just deleted the file then log in on all my characters transferred and not transferred. Then finally I open my archived rarity db file and just copy attempts data from each characters to new file. It is working now fine so I'm happy :)

Thanks for all your efforts with this addon - It is truly one of my favorites. It seems you have done some work recently to update and was wondering if you could also add the Albino Buzzard from Crysa's Torn Sack of Pet Supplies and the 3 pets from the new Pet Dungeon, Wailing Caverns, that come from the reward at the end, Damp Pet Supplies: Cavern Moccasin, Everliving Spore, and Young Venomfang. Again, thank you and all other contributors for this wonderful addon.

This is Curse's fault. And their source control is down, so I can't commit anything to fix it. Please contact Curse for further information.

I love this add on but I am having a slight issue. My attempts to get a pet to drop is not showing in my chat when I loot a mob. I have found that I should be able to shift click on the pet in the interface but this is greyed out and won't work. Am I doing something wrong? Please help 😊 Thanks

Indeed! In my naivety I (wrongly) assumed that importing would be straight-forward. However, after some serious investigation into the intricacies of the import/export encoding, I can safely say that the feature is either broken, or can be considered as having a huge conceptual flaw or two at the very least.

In this case, you can't import the string because it stores the custom item ID from MY local copy (which is 25), and then fails to validate the string because it's not the first item (index 1).

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I doubt it will be changed/fixed for obvious reasons :P Anyway, as for your problem: Since I don't want to delete all my custom items, I can offer the following hack (it's the best I can do here):

1. Go to Interface\Addons\Rarity_Options\
2. Create a backup of Options.lua, then open it and
3. On line 1085, replace the entire line, that is

if type(e) == "table" and e.items and type(e.items) == "table" and #e.items > 0 and e.build and tonumber(e.build) > 0 and e.signature and e.signature == IMPORTEXPORT_SIGNATURE then

with

if type(e) == "table" and e.items and type(e.items) == "table" and (#e.items > 0 or e.items[25]) and e.build and tonumber(e.build) > 0 and e.signature and e.signature == IMPORTEXPORT_SIGNATURE then

This will allow my export string to be recognized as valid, and have no adverse effects, but you should still change it back afterwards just to be sure (or don't).

Now, export this string:

AV4xXlReU2l0ZW1zXlReTjI1XlReU3pvbmVzXlReTjFeU1dlc3Rlcm5+YFBsYWd1ZWxhbmRzXnReU2V4cG9ydF5CXlNtZXRob2ReU0ZJU0hJTkdeU2NoYW5jZV5OMjAwMF5TbmFtZV5TU2hhcmR+YG9mfmBEYXJrbmVzc15TdHlwZV5TSVRFTV5TaXRlbUlkXk4xMzk2MjRedF50XlNzaWduYXR1cmVeU1JGSTJQRDRqT2pKME5udGdJbmMvWkE9PV5TYnVpbGReTjU3N150Xl4=

It's a different one because I removed all unnecessary data (my attempts etc), which also makes it a lot shorter.

Oh, and an addendum to solve your original problem:

Your string differs from mine in that it uses zone IDs, and restricts it to only consider Paladins. I don't know if that makes much of a difference, but since you're extremely unlikely to go fishing anywhere else in Western Plaguelands, with any character, I just set it to be more forgiving.

That said, your map IDs are wrong. /dump GetMapNameByID(28) returns "Searing Gorge", and 139 is entirely invalid. You probably took them from wowhead, but their zone IDs are different from those used by the game. Western Plaguelands is actually 23, and Eastern Plaguelands has 22 - although it only drops on the western shore so I'd remove that.

Additionally, the chance is apparently closer to 1/2000 than 1/1000. I arrived at this conclusion from wowhead's aggregated comment data, which averaged out to some 1.9k attempts (for what it's worth) :)

In retrospect, this will be much easier for you to change than the LUA file + import. If it still doesn't work, you can always fall back to using that option.
