Rare alert add on

Which one is superior for a BM Hunter and especially tracking Hunter pets?

NPCSCAN VS RARESCANNER VS SILVERDRAGON?

Aspect of the Hunter :smiley: (newer addon just for hunters).

Scans for rare pets, with an alert pop up (just like any rare alert addon does), BUT - it also lets you search for them in game (map icon for locations). lot of nice stuff we shoulda had built in for years (tells you if something is tameable, no more beast lore, don’t even need to get off a flying mount). Way better stable layout by far as well.

It will also tell you what abilities each family has when you cursor over them in your stable, It also lets you open your stable even if nowhere near a stable NPC (just to look at what you have in there). It also has an icon placement, if you have the Talent for a second pet out, so you know what slot to have that in!

Ravenclaw, a hunter is putting this together, I came across it on YouTube. Has a Discord for suggestions, and bugs. Love it myself. Wish I had it for the past 15 years!

If he puts in more than just rare pets for the in game search, this addon could make using Petopia obsolete :open_mouth:

Npcscan hasn’t been maintained since bfa launch and curseforge broke the bundling of maps and whatnot with 7.3. Use rarescanner or silverdragon.

Or use what the other guy linked. Could be good for hunters if tailored around only pets.

I use both Rarescanner and SilverDragon.

Also Rarity and Rarefied, just to make sure!

Do you leave the rarity options portion turned on? Even with a good computer I found it being way too resource intensive for what it covered.

I deleted ‘Rarity Options’, ( that’s what used a lot of resources) but have kept ‘Rarity’.

I’ve recently upgraded my computer, so it works fine with Rarity, but even upgraded Rarity Options made the processor chug away!

Yeah that’s what I noticed for both of my computers. I think the dev just has some uncapped process going.

What does that mean? Sorry. :slight_smile:

I find it to be a good Rare Addon, but I do miss NPC Overlay for the minimap… that was great!

Oh I meant for rarity options. Rampant resource usage for no reason.

Turn it off when on a flightpath. Locating the Time Lost Proto Drake while you’re stuck on a Gryphon will make you cry.
