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

ok it happened again it looks like rarity missed another of my crown chemical co kills am i the only one who this is happening to?
i think rarity missed one of my crown chemical co. kills this happened before with the Headless Horseman i kept a pretty close eye on my counter this time around for that reason i am fairly sure i have killed once daily on each as all my toons have roughly the same amount of tokens and the crown chemical co. is my only source of tokens
I've been testing this every day and it has worked every time. If you wish to adjust your count directly, you can do so from the Options menu.
is not tracking the Sea Turtle in Pandaria, I'm with language PT-BR.
Please visit the translation page and verify that the pools you're fishing in have the correct translation for your locale. http://www.wowace.com/addons/rarity/localization/
Doesn't track the loot count on Big Love Rocket. Tracks the toxic wasteling fine though.
Yes it does. Tested myself just a few minutes ago. Works perfectly.
No it doesn't, tested on 8 level 90s.

Nevermind, just saw the new update
The Pygmy Direhorn pet that drops of Horridon doesn't seem to be tracked in LFR.
Early info after that patch showed it not dropping in LFR, but it looks like it has since been confirmed that it does. I'll get it changed.
Thx for he fast reply :)
There is a bug with the Ultraxion mount: Experiment 12-B Rarity tracks boss kills for this, and when you kill the boss the counter goes up by 2 instead of one
The mount however is not drop from the boss itself, but looted from the container that spawn when boss dies
You should change the tracking to the looting of container n° 210160-210161-210162 (Lesser Cache of the Aspects)
Thanks :)
We must avoid using world objects for detection unless absolutely necessary. There are only two places in the entire game where it's necessary. The next build of Rarity fixes the issue you mentioned with double-counting. Note that it will count the moment the boss dies, which is correct. If you forget to loot the cache, that's on you. ;)
Thanks for the fast fix :D
Love this add on.
Can you please add the Tol Barad Island for the Fox Kit that drops from the Baradin Foxes there? Thanks!
Baradin Fox was removed because you can buy it now. Feel free to add it yourself if you're farming it, but be aware it had a very low drop rate in Cataclysm (not sure if it was buffed) and it would be much faster to buy it.
Thanks. Actually got one today! I was so excited. Saved me a few weeks farming the things to buy it lol
Addon announces boss loot count before I even loot/touch the killed boss, its quite annoying
Many bosses will do that. It's working as intended.
