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
Slash Commands

Posted Jun 2, 2019Hi,
This addon basically says I can find the Goldenmane's mount in The Brineworks, wowhead says it can also drop in other locations. Will this addon be updated to reflect the different locations for this mount?

Back when the item was added, those didn't appear in wowhead's data. I've (re-)added all the NPCs that wowhead currently lists in the latest alpha.

Posted Apr 18, 2019Hi, great addon, wish i found it earlier, it takes a lot of tension away around getting dropped mounts etc :-)
Got a question, found that the usual spot to fish for Pond Nettle can't be used anymore because "Cast didn't land in fishable water" i went onto wowhead https://www.wowhead.com/item=152912/pond-nettle#comments and found the comment by Dragula14662 saying this:
As of 8.1.5 a lot of the old fishable spots are unable to be fished for the water not being fishable. At exactly 44:62.1 in Krokuun you can fish in one of the pools. Some casts may not make it off but you have to be exactly in that spot facing the waterfall. Hope that helps.
I went to the mentioned spot, i can fish there but the addon isn't counting my casts, could you adjust that?
Thanks in advance! :-)

If I read that correctly, there's a bug preventing anyone from obtaining the mount in Krokuun and Mac'aree. I can look into adding the specific subzones that aren't on the list of eligible zones, however that won't be very helpful if the mount can't actually be fished there.

If you read the comment of GuybrushFawkes (latest comment atm) you can see that it can actually be fished up in Krokuun and there's a few others reporting they fished it up in Krokuun instead of Antoran Wastes.
It's your choice because i don't know whether Krokuun has always been a possible spot to fish it up or it's a workaround for the bug that's currently preventing ppl from fishing in lava on the Antoran Wastes.

Ah, I see. I've simply added the remaining zones to the detection. This should be a workable solution and is already included in the latest alpha :)

Posted Mar 26, 2019Moving Nat's Lucky Coins from bank to bags triggered completion on the mount and two pets I have yet to purchase. Only had 83 coins when this triggered.

That's very odd, and probably difficult to reproduce since I don't have those coins. Unfortunately, detection for items that suddenly appear in the player's inventory isn't always perfect, but I'm not sure if it can be (easily) fixed.
I'll see if there's something to be done about items that use the collection method (such as those you mentioned).

There appear to be some issues with Blizzard's statistics. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to find a better way to track those runs right now, but I'm aware and it's on the list.

Posted Mar 22, 2019Hi,
I'm getting a freeze on every login on every character, it's the only thing stopping me from using your addon :(
I have tried with no addons, clearing cache, etc, and also multiple restarts of the game and what not.
It seems to hang on Tooltip Rendering, here's a paste:
[19:22:37] Rarity: Tooltip rendering took 341.935741ms (38.672602, 132.050767, 71.846748, 0.010251, 27.593682, 56.996263, 14.491975, 0.006095)
[19:22:39] Rarity: BuildStatistics: 0.304208ms
[19:22:39] Rarity: ScanStatistics: 2.319237ms
[19:22:39] Rarity: UpdateText: 0.032138ms
[19:22:43] Guild Message of the Day: "8/8 HC FOR THE BOYS, Next Raid Sunday 19.30, full heroic clear"
[19:22:49] Rarity: BuildStatistics: 0.301991ms
[19:22:49] Rarity: ScanStatistics: 2.325886ms
[19:22:49] Rarity: UpdateText: 0.033247m
I'm on a high end rig with low world MS (16gb ddr4, 8700k etc).
Any ideas on this one? I'm not sure if this is normal behaviour or not?
Many thanks,

Is it the first time you've used Rarity or did this occur after an update? Also, does it still happen if you disable all other addons and only load Rarity?

Hey,
This is the first time, yeah. I've disabled all other addons and then then it goes to around 300~ms. Is this normal? Any ideas what I could try?

What makes you think rendering the tooltip causes the freeze? For me, it takes almost as long (270ms) and I'm not experiencing anything I'd consider a freeze (= AppHang, WOW stops responding).
Such hangups can indeed be caused by addons hogging all the available CPU, but Rarity shouldn't do this, especially not with concurrent updates that run in the background. If Rarity was indeed blocking the game it would be fairly noticeable. Try entering this to see what it looks like:
Warning: It will freeze the game for a few seconds at least, until execution is stopped with a "Script ran too long" error. You can decrease the 32 to 25 - or so to simulate a shorter hangup, 25 is approximately 300ms for me but your mileage may vary. If you try this
/run local s = debugprofilestop(); for i=1, 2^25 do end local e = debugprofilestop(); print(format("Execution time: %f", (e-s)))you should see a shorter freeze that would (hopefully... check the output) be close to the 300ms Rarity's tooltip rendering would take even if it was blocking everything else.
Perhaps this is indeed what you're experiencing, in which case it would require further troubleshooting. For me, however, an actual 300ms freeze as simulated here doesn't seem very impactful. Therefore, I think it's possible that something else might be causing your problem.

Posted Mar 18, 2019Hey everyone , past few weeks had fps drop/freeze when was mouseover rarity icon or when it's loading when you log in, couldn't fix it unless was completely reinstalling it and losing all data(which sucks) but today by mistake clicked rarity icon and changed "sorted by" and all freezes gone, started testing stuff looks like sorting by anything but name making freezes/fps drops(sort by zone most busted just 2-3 freeze).
posting here because maybe anyone had similar issue and devs might can fix it.

Did this always happen or was there a specific version you updated to before it started? Performance issues are notoriously difficult to troubleshoot, but if you can provide me with sufficient information I will be happy to look into it.

Posted Mar 11, 2019Hi Cakechart,
1) I saw your reply to tpaiju regarding the difficulty of tracking the chance of these Island Expedition drops.
But I think what tpaiju meant and what I for sure mean, is that several drops are not listed in Rarity at all.
When you check https://warcraft-secrets.com/guides/island-expeditions-rewards you see that there is the mount Risen Mare. I dot not own that mount yet, but it is not showing up in Rarity.
2) Since this week there seems to be a problem with the mount that can drop from Darkshore rare Croz Bloodrage(aliance)/shadowclaw(horde): it shows up in my list twice now:
Captured Kaldorei Nightsaber (15 attempts) and
Kaldorei Nightsaber (1 attempt)
I put a screenshot here https://imgur.com/a/dlATVT4
