Rarity
NEW:
- Support for Cataclysm Classic (experimental)
- 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
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)

Posted Jan 7, 2016Rarity works just fine. Post the error you're getting. Copying attempts when copying your profile is working as intended. You shouldn't be copying your profile, anyway, though. You should put all your characters on the same profile. Don't copy it. Profiles are a relic from when mounts and pets weren't account wide. They're not necessary now.

Posted Jan 7, 2016I created a profile and I did setup all the settings I need on character A. Logging in to Character B and load the profile from character A. Great all settings are fine but not kill attempts :/ Do I need to setup the settings on all my 25 characters? that would take alot of time even worse if it some how got lost in the future.

Posted Jan 7, 2016You need to put all your characters on the same profile. Pick one character as the "master" and set all the other characters to that profile. Pets and mounts and toys are now cross-account, so it is incorrect to try to count attempts separately between characters.
From the FAQ (http://www.wowace.com/addons/rarity/forum/40930-frequently-asked-questions/#p1):
Can Rarity track cross-account attempts if I farm on multiple characters?
Yes. Rarity can track attempts across all characters on a single World of Warcraft license. It cannot track attempts across multiple licenses within a single Battle.Net account, because World of Warcraft does not permit this.
If you just installed Rarity for the first time, it will automatically track attempts across a single license. You don't need to do anything. If you find that this is not true, follow the directions below.
If you had already used Rarity before patch 5.0, you need to take action in order to enable cross-license tracking. Open your Interface Options and find Rarity in the list. Click on Rarity, then click the + sign that appears. This reveals a new entry called Profile. Click it. Finally, in the Existing Profiles drop-down, select "Default". Warning: This will reset your options and you will lose all existing attempt counts. Some attempts may be repopulated based on the current character's Statistics, but most things will be reset to 0.

Posted Jan 3, 2016The checkbox "Automatically refresh your search" no longer works in background. If I close the search interface, it stops searching. At least I don't hear the sound. It still searches if the search interface is not closed but I alt-tab out of WOW. Going to download the previous version to test.
PS: Apparently r500a-release doesn't work the way I thought it did either. Sorry for confusion.

Posted Jan 2, 2016Okay I didn't find anything in the FAQ or known issues section and I have tried googling this but no luck.
Rarity won't track my attempts on madness of deathwing. I was doing HC25 up until I got the handmaiden, after that I switched to normal 25 to make farming on alts easier but ever since then Rarity will no longer track my attempts on the Blazing drake and it won't even update to "defeated" unless I reload.
Is this a known issue? Can I fix it somehow?

Posted Jan 2, 2016I haven't farmed that in a while, but it was working when I did. It tracks it based on the Statistic. Does the Statistic in your achievements window go up when you kill that boss? Is the item enabled in Rarity (i.e. you don't already have it)?
I only farmed this on normal 10 mode, so it's possible there's a bug with the statistic ID. Can you check them? Try 10 man and see if it works. I will double check the data later when I get home.

Posted Jan 2, 2016If you hover over the item in the Rarity tooltip, you'll see that it requires looting one of those two items. That's when the attempt is made.

Posted Dec 18, 2015It would be very cool if we had the choice to show the output in more than one place. Is there any chance that you can let us choose more than one output target? I personally would like to see the output as floating text and in the chat...
