Slash Commands

- /cm randomcompanion or /cm rc will summon a random companion bases on your defined set
- /cm randommount or /cm rm will summon a random companion bases on your defined set
- /cm options will open the profile settings
- /cm macro will create or update the macro
- You can also use the "Collect Me" button in the Blizzard Mount Tab to open the addon
The Main Window
When you start the Main Window the add-on will automatically build a mount, companion, title list based on your faction, class. By hovering over a mount or title with the mouse you will receive additional information on where to get it in a tooltip.
Ignore List
You can add an item to the ignore list by Ctrl + right-clicking on them, if for any reason you don't want them or you have no way of obtaining them.
Filters
In addition to the Ignore List, you can add pre-configured filters. Those filters will hide mounts, titles and companions from the missing list. This will allow you to keep the list small to bring in some general survey. By combining the filters and the ignore list you should have a good compromise of speed and detail.
Random summoning
The add-on can summon a random companion or mount by using the macros the addon creates.
You can define a set of mounts and companions from which CollectMe will choose randomly in the "Random Companion" and "Random Mount" Tab.
Zone priorities for mounts
Collect Me tries to autodetect wich mount would be best for the current zone (example vashj'r, non flyable zones) and build the pool based on this suggestion and your defined mounts and than randomly choose one. Let's take a look to AQ40 for an example. You have 2 Qiraj mounts and 10 normal ground mounts and you are in AQ40. Both Qiraj mounts are not added to the set for auto summoning. In this case Collect Me would summon a random ground mount. If one Qiraj mount would be enabled in your set Collect Me would always take the Qiraj mount. If both Qiraj mounts would be enabled, Collect Me would randomly choose between those two mounts. Zone Mounts always weigh stronger than non zone mounts. Currently you can not influence that, but in a future release some options may be added.
3D Model Preview
- By left-clicking on a mount or companion in the main window you can bring up a window with a 3d preview of the mount.
- By Ctrl + left-clicking on a mount or companion in chat you can view a 3d preview of it.
Reporting issues and feature requests
- If you have a feature request of a bug you can open a ticket on curseforge http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/collect_me/tickets/ or github https://github.com/Tschebel/CollectMe/issues
- For general questions you can use the comments on Curse.
Translation and help with that
- Collect Me only comes in english and partial german but fully supports WowAce as translation library.
- If you want to help and submit translations in your language you can do so by using GitHub https://github.com/Tschebel/CollectMe or if you aren't familiar with GitHub you can send an email.
Additional Information
- If you have anything the add-on doesn't have in its database, you will receive a message in your chat frame. Please leave a comment or a ticket on the addon page if this is the case.

Your addon looks neat, BUT it freezes my game to death upon querying any of my collection when switching tab.
Also upon clicking a mount to view it
PS: UX design advice: don't display an unchecked checkbox when its value is true. I checked the sources filter thinking they were inactive and thus by default everything is displayed, but the contrary happened, it's like every filter is active (but not checked) and upon checking it the filter is removed, removing all corresponding entry from the list. This is quite an unnatural behavior.
PS²: I would love the addition of a minimap button to open the add on.
Model viewer is crashing with Lua errors.
Hi JimBim,
I am only finding 8.25 on curse, is there another place to get updated info?
Any chance for a setting on random companion/mount to just use the favorite list already defined in-game? Would save some time instead of having to manually check each companion. This should be a toggle, in the event someone wants different companions/mounts for specific characters. Perhaps a button next to the Check All one, that says Check All Favorites?
Update for 8.3 still wip?
Thank you for responding!
In reply to JimBim89
Any further updates? Most likely has come and gone, I would really like an update.
My toy collection is not being monitored properly, is there any info I can provide that would help you see how to correct this?
A lot of content missing from BFA, including new zones and new dungeons/raids. Will this be updated?
In reply to klegault62:
There will most likely be an db update next month, and once 8.3 hits retail. Sorry for the delay.
Anyone know anything about adding the BfA content to this database? Most of it is missing. What kind of info do we need to gather to get this stuff added in? Any chance of an update? Not seeing any response from author or owner.
An update for this is needed, for the two new zones, new dungeon, new raid. Still useful for old content, but missing the last year of updates and changes.
How can I summon random ground mount without using shift and not having to reconfigure summoning options for different chars?
I would like a macro that would summon only random ground mount, something like
/cm randomgroundmount
(without any additional keys, like shift)
Is anyone still working on this? I notice the Author: Xtcssa was Last active Tue, Aug, 28 2018 13:46:29, but the Owner: JimBim89 Last active 3 days ago. No fix for the error when selecting the Toys tab or any of the other issues that have been present for a few months?

In reply to JimBim89:
when i go to a store that sells mounts i cant ctrl click them. when i link a mount from a store i cant ctrl click it. it only works on mounts linked from the collection.
Also just noticed, when looking at titles it tells me Title the Admired(380) is missing, please inform the author.
Came to check if anyone else is still having issues with the toybox? It reports a LOT of toys I already have as missing. Looked back several pages and didn't see this specific problem or a solution for it.
I'd love to be able to add items to a Wish List so I can more easily track what I want.
I know you can add stuff to your Ignore List, but since i only want to collect certain things, it'll take me a long time to add everything to my ignore list.
same as below for me, selecting zones works but selecting current zone does not work
