About Rarity
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
- 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
- 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
Companion add-ons
- PetTracker shows you on the map which battle pets you need to obtain and where they spawn
- Archy is recommended because it fixes some issues Rarity has with the Archaeology UI

Hello great addon but I have a question how do I make it so it tracks on all my characters? for example I killed a boss 27 times on 1 character and 23 on another and it makes it so all kills is in 1. is it a buton or anything I need to klick on? I serch but I don't seem to find it.
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.
Great Add On. One thing I wish it had was the option to sort by DEfeated. So listing the ones you can still kill first.
Hi , nice addon, like it very much, thx for making it.
1 question,
is there a way to disable mouseover function, and change it to click to show the list?
Thanks!
Not at this time.
I would like this as well.
Attempted to get Swift White Hawkstrider from heroic Magisters' Terrace but it seems that it didn't record the attempt? had to manually add it in :(
edit: Saw the FAQ now, missed it on the first read through
Missing battle pet: Zomstrok ( http://www.wowhead.com/item=113554 )
Found one by accident, then looked it up. Manually added and tested with the IDs provided below.
Item ID: 113554
Spell ID: 167336
Creature ID: 83562
Drops from: 82262,82261 (The 3rd creature listed on wowhead doesn't exist?)
Chance: Appears to be 1 in 100 (1%) according to the accumulated data so far
Would probably be cool if Rarity tracked it right away :)
Thanks! This will be added in the next build.
I already used WowHead to generate the item, so it included all 3.
On second glance, I found that the 3rd NPC (84921) does exist.
However, since they're part of the Enchanting quest line and need to be engaged differently, they were not killed in sufficient numbers to show a reliable drop rate, which might be why wowhead lists the pet as a 0.18% drop currently (as opposed to about 1% on the regular ones).
Now, I guess you could just add them with the same drop rate and hope it is correct, or omit them for the time being. I doubt anyone is going to farm them for the pet anyway.
Note that for the holiday reminder function, any winter veil items that you can get from under the tree are only available on the 25th and onwards -- before that, all you can get are the items from the greench world event. Rarity currently reminds for both sets of items.
Correct. Rarity currently can't do better than that.
Is there a way to turn off the scrolling text when you loot something?
At the bottom of the options screen, choose None.
