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.

- Can automatically add waypoints to TomTom for certain items

I am farming with Rarity, and there is something there annoying me.. Some times there is this little 'Check mark' before each mount, i have tried to get this week, but most of the time is not there, Is it me there doing something wrong or?
I would love it, if the Check mark was there when i have tried to get the mound in a raid, and staed there to the next time i can take the raid or heroic dungeon to get it.

Hi there, I've noticed that Rarity doesn't seem to be tracking my attempts from Mythic+ dungeon keys. Is this a known issue? I'm trying to farm the Mummified Raptor Skull from Kings' Rest keys and it only seems to count when it's my first base mythic run each week.

https://www.wowhead.com/item=157782/pterrordax-egg this is also a rare item, and it awards you with the mount in the end of the quest chain, so it would be nice to have it also, coz not many ppl know it even exists =))
Also, i don't know why, but my tracker is bugged and i don't know how to fix it. The count for archaeology mounts is insane https://c2n.me/3ZzyB9p and i definitely didn't do that much tries.
Is there any chance to remove some items/mounts from this list? I use it as my "shopping list" and i would like to remove or hide some mounts from the list coz i don't want to do them at all.

Question. I've been using rarity for years now. So first up thank you for one of my favorite addons on my UI.
Is there a way to see how many times it took get to get something? Example. I got Invincible on 06/21/15 but I can't for the life of me remember how many attempts it took before it dropped.
