Rarity

Table of Contents

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.

Looking for Rarity Item Packs? Click here.

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

Simply typing /rarity should open the options menu (unless disabled).

For troubleshooting issues:

/rarity dump displays the most recent debug log entries (even if the debug mode is disabled)
/rarity validate checks the consistency of your item database, including custom items (experimental)

It is neither; Blizzard broke a million things with the patch and work is currently in progress to fix them all.

Just get a newer version of LibQtip. I use Broker_Everything and the fix was packaged there.

all the tracking is stored in a folder under _retail_/WTF/ .... /Rarity.lua

I have no issues with the options, but you can go into Interface/Addons/Rarity/Advanced and click a checkbox to verify the DB or something like that.

Sorry if it does not work for you, i just spent a few hours trying to do a quick fix.
