Addon to show drop rates for mobs & items you can open?

Guides UI and Macro

Like for example the headless horseman bag. What’s inside? Etc.

I can’t seem to find a mod to do this on click or tooltip. I don’t want a database I can check wowhead if that’s the case.

Try MobInfo2

Rarity is one but that one does require some set up as a lot of container loot and some rare drops arent enabled by default.

Mobinfo2 like the person above said might be what you are after, never tried it myself

That’s apparently my own data. If something drops I’ll remember it, that’s not very useful for me. I wanna know if it’s worthwhile to get N or X and see if anything cool drops from a given chest loot before I actually get it.

I’ll check it out! I glanced on it but only saw the counter to get drops part.

Ya, that’s not gonna happen without a database like wowhead.

And an external database is still going to have limitations:

  • You can’t access it live because addons can’t query data sources outside the game (like a web API other than Blizzard’s own)
  • You risk getting into legal trouble (copyright) if you just clone a snapshot of WowHead’s database without their permission
  • Even if you do include a snapshot, it’s static and isn’t being updated by continuing community participation
  • Even the best crowdsourced drop rate information is an informed guess. Blizzard doesn’t make available in any form the real drop rates

Rarity probably comes closest, as they do include “best guess” drop rates on the drops in its database, but the dataset is incomplete and you may wind up having to add the desired item and best-guess drop rate as a custom item.
