After the r700 patch the addon is now working for me but it's not working optimally I don't think.

-First of all it is causing massive if temporary lag. My FPS drops like 30+ FPS when bringing it up. It does tend to stabilize after that. I'm new to this addon so not sure if that's always been the case. 

-The interface is also very flaky. I click the mini-map button to bring up the item list and it appears and then randomly disappears and reappears constantly. It's quite irritating to try and navigate through the list because of this. Is there a way to bring up a permanent window that you can move around?

-I also tried using the "cntrl click" to change the sort order but that doesn't appear to do anything.

-The list seems to be very incomplete. I don't see either of the mounts from "Return to Karazhan" listed at all. I assume there is an item pack that I need to import but the only one listed on here is for illusions and when I searched for more I didn't find any. Maybe this is just me not knowing where to find it or not understanding how the addon works. Is there a way to manually add your own items somehow?

Hello! In the future, please create a separate issue for each problem to make it more manageable :)

1. The lag is presumably the same issue that's been reported by others, though it only appears to affect some users. Unfortunately it's not something I can easily improve due to how the addon's UI was written (by the original author, not me). It's on the list of things to fix, but said list is very long and my time very limited. GitHub status: https://github.com/SacredDuckwhale/Rarity/issues/106

2. That's also a, uhm, feature of the tooltip library I think. The window is hidden when you no longer mouse over it, which is less than ideal but (similarly to 1.) can't easily be rectified without reworking the entire UI.

3. This has been reported before, but it's working for me so I'll need more information (like, are there any errors? Etc).

4. There aren't any other item packs AFAIK, no idea what the idea was with having them TBH. Most collectibles should be part of the addon's database, though Return to Karazhan only has two mounts as far as I know. Midnight is definitely in the database and should show up, while Nightbane's mount wasn't added due to being a mostly-guaranteed drop (I think). I've had another request to add it recently, so I created this issue https://github.com/SacredDuckwhale/Rarity/issues/202 - I simply haven't gotten around to doing anything other than fix prepatch-related problems so far.

Oh, and you can add your own items under the "Custom" tab.

Awesome. Thanks for the updates and sorry for putting them all in one post.

On #3 there is no error it just doesn't do anything.

On #4 with regard to Nightbane it's not guaranteed but I think it's like a 20% drop rate which is better than most. I'm also pretty sure Midnight is not listed. If you look down the list of zones there isn't even any entry for Return to Kara. I'm not 100% but I don't think the mount from legacy Kara is there, either.

How do you add your own items? Just entering the item# or something?

You may have to enable script errors if you haven't already for them to show up: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/rarity/pages/faq/how-to-enable-and-disable-script-errors-lua-errors

I'm 100% certain both Midnight mounts are tracked. You may have them disabled in your settings, perhaps? Nightbane isn't currently being tracked, but will be soon (as soon as I have time to test it).

You can go to the Custom tab in the options menu. This is where custom items are added, by looking up the relevant data (item ID etc) from wowhead.

 Also faced with a drop in FPS, after looting the boss in a raid / dungeon. I mean strong drops 30+fps, I know about microfreeze when entering the world. I wanted to write a ticket. I went to the alt. character, turned on debug and profiling, but the drops did not appear. Installed now (r701-alpha), but the problem appeared after the pre-patch.
I decided to verify the database, but got an error (Rarity: Проверка не удалась с 7 ошибками!(Verification failed with 7 errors!)). How much can this affect the work of the addon?
It would be nice to do import / export attempts of the main base.

In order to troubleshoot performance issues, I'll need a debug log (including profiling data) and ideally you should run only Rarity/BugGrabber to exclude the possibility of other addons causing the reported problem.

The database verification has no bearing on performance; it merely checks if all entries contain the expected data fields. Invalid entries can theoretically cause errors, but not normally FPS drops. It's mostly a preventative measure used to uncover outdated entries, and nothing critical to the functioning of the addon :)

Unfortunately I don't quite understand what this means.
