Curse

Inspired by Bunny Hunter, Rarity tracks how many chances you've had to obtain various rare items throughout the game. It will tell you how likely you are to obtain the item, track how long you've been farming for it, etc. Primarily, this is useful for farming companion pets and mounts, but it also supports virtually any item including patterns and designs, archaeology projects, etc.

Features

• Provides an LDB feed and tooltip allowing you to track items of your choice

Includes all the features of Bunny Hunter, plus:

• Fully user configurable—you can add things to track on your own
• Supports zone-wide drops (i.e. Hyacinth Macaw)
• Supports containers (i.e. White Polar Bear)
• Supports two-level loots (i.e. Disgusting Oozeling)
• Supports archaeology projects (i.e. Scepter of Azj'Aqir)
• Supports fishing (i.e. Sea Turtle)
• Supports item usage (i.e. Mojo)
• Supports items dropped from bosses that require a group to defeat (i.e. Flametalon of Alysrazor)
• Supports items obtained from the holiday boss bags (i.e. Big Love Rocket)
• Supports some special cases (i.e. Elementium Geode, Mysterious Camel Figurine)
• Supports things other than pets and mounts (i.e. recipes, legendary components, etc.)
• Will properly ignore skinning
• Lets you modify your kill count without having to edit saved vars, in case you started farming before you installed Rarity
• Automatically imports data from Bunny Hunter
• Shows an "achievement" alert when you finally obtain the item!
• Automatically scans you to determine if you already have any companions or mounts

• Shift-click to report your progress to chat
• Sort items by name, difficulty, or percent complete

You should also install

• Rarity works best with an LDB display like Fortress, Button Bin, or Titan Panel. If you don't have a display, turn on Rarity's minimap icon. There are lots of displays available — if you don't like one, try another!
• AddonLoader is highly recommended. This will let you keep the configuration UI unloaded until you need it.
• Collectinator is a good companion add-on to Rarity. It will show you where to obtain everything that Rarity tracks.

Frequently asked questions

How do I edit my attempt counts?

Type /rarity, or press Esc and select Interface, click the AddOns tab, and scroll down to find the Rarity category. Within the Rarity options, choose the tab that applies (Mounts, Companions, Items, or Custom). Find the item you want to adjust in the list that appears on the left, and click it. Edit the "Attempts" number.

Why is Rarity still tracking BOE pets that I already have?

Most BOE pets are marked as "repeatable", because some people farm them repeatedly to sell. If you don't want to track the pet, open Rarity's options, find the pet, and uncheck Repeatable.

How are the percentages calculated?

Take a look at this extensive article written by the creator of Bunny Hunter. Rarity uses the same calculations.

How does Rarity determine if I'm "lucky" or "unlucky"?

Rarity calculates the median number of attempts to obtain an item. If you're at or below this value, you're considered lucky. Otherwise, you're not. See the article linked in the question above for a more thorough discussion.

How do I import my data from Bunny Hunter?

Make sure both Bunny Hunter and Rarity are running at the same time, and log in. Rarity should prompt you to import. Click Yes.

Rarity isn't counting all my fishing pool attempts. Why?

The game doesn't give us an easy way to tell what you're fishing in. To make sure Rarity counts all your fishing pool attempts, do this: right after you cast your line, make sure to mouseover the pool of fish. Then when you loot the bobber, Rarity should count the attempt.

Rarity isn't counting my loots. Why?

Rarity has known conflicts with certain auto-loot add-ons, particularly Magnet Continued. Unfortunately, these add-ons severely modify the game's normal loot system and are not compatible with Rarity. They must be disabled.
