This add-on allows you to keep track of your kills, loot of the Rare's and Warfront status in multiple Warfronts.
It has both a mini-map icon and broker integration.
It checks your kills on their quest ID now so it's automatically checking which one you've killed already and also resets once they're available again. It's also only loading the rare's regarding to your players faction. When TomTom is installed it exports the rare's coordinates to TomTom when clicked on the rare in the menu.
If you want to see what has been changed or added in each release, you can take a look at the Change Log. I't will list all releases and its changes in a chronological order with the latest release on top!
Important Note About Me:
Please bear in mind, as can be read in on of the comments, I suffer from a bi-polar disorder, including 5or 6 other psychological conditions. This means I cannot always guaranty an a quick release for new content. I will always try to add and/or fix stuff as soon as possible, dependable on the state I'm currently in. If I'm doing great, updates comes very quick but when I'm on the down side everything costs me a lot of energy and this means an update can take longer than usual.
Warning: If you're using the Zygor's Guide addon, Rare Icons are not displayed on the Worldmap and Minimap. I've already tried to resolve this issue, came close but suffered huge memory spikes, but I'm going to give it another try in a few weeks.
All other part do work. To add a TomTom waypoint, you can click on the rare in the menu while mousing over the Minimap Icon.
Broker / Minimap icon displays which Faction is in control of the selected Warfront:
For the Alliance and 
for the Horde.
New Warfront Status Mode in Broker text:
full explanation is found in the config window!
The mini map and/or broker menu looks like this:
The Warfront Status can also be integrated in the main menu as seen with the Minimap Menu:
The Worldmap:
Icon color: Purple have over 1M HP, Blue have over 100K HP, Grey are Goliaths and Red for Rare's only active when your faction controls the Warfront.
Improved options window (found in the interface menu, right-click the mini map/broker icon or use command /warfront)

Hey guys,
Just a quick update:
After the heat-strike went away I got severe pain in my abdomen. My GP tried something and I she made an appointment to call me in 4 hours after taking de drugs to review if it did anything. Sadly this wasn't the case and I was immediately send to the ER and after some test they concludes: Acute Appendicitis.
Unfortunately, during surgery, they discovered it was a "Close Call" as the extraction didn't went as smooth as it shout. It was severely inflamed and it bursted open during surgery. After returning "back to the world" from the narcotics I got the information and I have to stay and get anti-biotics vis IV-drip 4 times a day. The first 5 days where horrible as in pain but also my mental conditions doesn't make me feel very well if I'm not in my own house.
Prognoses are good now though. If everything checks out perfectly I might be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I still need to take things slowly, so with a laptop on the couch I can update the Addon in a few days.
In reply to StevenSeegal:
Sorry to hear of your ongoing health issues. I'm sure everyone will understand that you need to put yourself first and we will be happy when you are feeling better and up to working on this wonderful addon again. Get well soon.
Do you have a donations page ? I would happily donate a small amount to thank you for the time you put into this.
In reply to ZalidTheBur:
Thank you for your kind message. Luckily I'm home again and I'm slowly putting the latest changes into my Addon's database.
I hope to release it before the weekend so you guys have everything up-to-date as soon as possible.
I haven't setup a donation link as my Paypal account is registered under my private email address, which I don't want to publish as that one is a spam free account for every personal stuff like the communication with insurances, banking, doctors, housing and all of those stuff.
On Curse you can only setup a donation link by either entering my Paypal account's email address (which will be visible to anyone who click on the donate button) or via a Paypal token which can only be setup if you migrate your account to a Business account. As I'm not registered as a company, because I'm not, I cannot change it due to the fact that I have to give my registration number from the local IRS and more of local business related documents.
This is the reason why I haven't setup a donation button. I love it that you ask me about it as I never had anyone telling me they are willing to give me a donation and I want to thank you for that.
I think I need to look for an alternative for donations as Curse only has the above described options available. I know there are a lot of different ways to do so but I have to take a look into it as I'm not familiar with receiving a donation. If you have any suggestions on what a good donation platform is I'd love to hear it.
And if you still want to give me a donation I think I can give you my Paypal address in a private message for one time if you promise to keep it confidential.
But seriously, I'm working on this addon for fun. This is for me a way to put my mind on coding instead of staring to the ceiling and getting caught by all my other thoughts, so it kinda works "therapeutic". There for I'm not aiming on donations which is also 1 of the reasons I never setup a donation thing.
Just want to say, don't feel "I have to donate but I don't have too much money". I'm good with that. I really appreciate it but don't get into money trouble.
I made this addon for myself initially as there wasn't one for this new thing yet. After telling what I was doing to my guild mates they where all interested and I send them a copy of on of the very first build (no map icons, not loot tracking. Just only kill tracking). Basically they pushed me to upload it to curse and I thought "Let's give it a try". The following morning when I woke up I noticed quite a big number of downloads and that gave me a satisfying feeling. With a lot of user input though the comment the addon became much bigger as I was implementing lots of extra features in that time. Some where user input and others where either user input but a thing I already had in mind or a thing I though of myself. I'm still pleased to see a lot of users are still actively using it, which also give me a satisfying feeling. And with that I have fun programming and trying to get some new mechanics to work as every time a warfront gets added, the mechanics are different. But I have good fun with it and still a nice amount of downloads after a release and that will keep me satisfied to still work on this addon.
Hence the fact of my conditions, somethings I'm already used to but the depression side remains unsolvable. I've accepted i, do know that I have my good and bas moments and I also know how to handle most of these situations. And every moment I can I'm on my computer and gather info piece by piece now until the wound gets a bit painful, then I have to take some rest again. But I'm aiming for coming weekend to have a new release with all Nazjatar rare's sorted and I'll double check Mechagon's rare's on wowhead to verify the loot again, but I think there is no new thing there as the last release already contained a fully checked database for Mecha.
just a typo, should be Vaultbot ;) Screenshot
I'm happy to say release 1.0.4-1 is approved now
Next on the list is sorting out Nazjatar. I also want to get the menu to only show a drop name once when the Rare drops multiple items that has the same category. As said I can't do too much but I'm happy to get you guys this updated version. This way I can offer you the new filter settings to filter out unwanted Rare's and an up-to-date loot table for Mechagon. I'll hope to have another update ready in a couple of days.
In reply to StevenSeegal:
Thanks for this addon. I've used it since it's release and will continue to for as long as it's maintained. In my opinion, no other addon comes close to being as good and simple as this one.
In reply to StevenSeegal:
The best rare addon, hand down! Thank you for your hard work.
Love this addon. It doesn't seem to identify which rares I still need for which blueprint quests though in Mechagon. I have almost all of the blueprints, but none of them are green/classified as obtained.
Also, would it be possible to disable the rare tracking on the map/minimap per zone? Just a little tickybox somewhere to turn it off if necessary... I like them in the warfronts, but I have like two other addons that track Mechagon/Nazjatar that I'd rather use instead because of different features.
In reply to tanglies:
If you read the orange text and the change log everything will be clear. the quest drops is a new thing that I have to implement. After the implantation it's going to recognise the one's you've already obtained. I'm planning on releasing the first working version of this tomorrow. I wasn't fit enough today to test it correctly so I better postpone the update with about 10-14 hours so I can have some good sleep and testing this new stuff is prio 1 for tomorrow!
One thing some of the other rare tracking addons use to delineate which rares you still "need" to kill is they put rares with drops you are still missing as one color, and ones you have already got their unique item from as a different one. I know you use color to denote mob difficulty, but could there be another note to show a mob is up that has special loot? Maybe put a star on the corner of the marker to show you still need something off of it? That would allow the color-coordinating based on difficulty to remain while still providing the info on unique drops.
In reply to CrusaderEsper:
I can do this. And it's fairly simple to add as I'm already giving colors to them. I'll bend my mind over it later tonight while relaxing. The suggestion is quite good as this indicate my Database is still missing some info and players can report it in the issue I've created for everyone to report wrong and/or missing info.
Thanks for this Idea, much appreciated.
How do I manually set the status of some Mechagon rares to "Already known"? I've already collected some blueprints, but the addon shows all of them as still needing the quest item drop.
In reply to lucatri:
Not yet, but this weekend I'm about to implement a way of checking which Quest Items and Blueprints are already know and mark them as done. This will allow implementation makes sure to hide the Rare of a Quest Item/Blueprint drop once known, just like it does with all the other categories. So stay tuned and it will be filtered automatically.
In reply to StevenSeegal:
Ok, thanks man. I was a little eager to start with Mechagon so I had obtained a bunch of quest items before updating my addons.
TY for your time, great addon and nifty features!
Dude, StevenSeegal, this addon is baller. I used TomCat's addons for Nazjatar and Mechagon for the time it took you to update this addon for those zones and it made me realize you've spoiled me with this addon. I don't want to take anything away from TomCat as he does quite a few addons and they work just fine but I started using your's first early in the expansion and, for me, your addon just can't be beat for what it does and how you make it do it. I know how tedious this stuff can be and wanted to make sure you knew this addon is the shit and that you're a god damn champ. I can only hope you keep supporting and expanding this addon through the expansions until I quit playing WoW, which probably won't be any time soon. Thanks bro.
In reply to arson94:
Thank you for your message. I always try to change stuff, even via User inout. The reason I started late with implementing can be read in de description, the Orange text.
I will continue to maintain this Addon and despite the fact not every function to check the new loot is in, but I'm working on it and try to release updates in a steady way.
I've noticed TomCat too, he began with the Warfront about a week or 3 after my initial release and now notice he made every Addon as a separate Addon. The main difference between his and my Addon is he's using 1 Addon for 1 Zone and he does have a window where the Rare's are listed.
My addon is bundled to support all Warfronts and written to fit any Broker Handler like ChocolateBar. With a Broker Handler you will get a bar at the top of your screen where you can attach your "Broker. Compatible" addons and it will display an Icon and text. I've made sure the Broker Text is telling you who is currently in control of a Warfront. It can also be accessed with it's Minimap Icon!
I might also implement a "GUI" in a later stage. Got it in my mind but never found the time to fiddle with it yet. This is no promise but it might makes it's way in.
I'm focussing on the 2 new zone's first and as there are different mechanics I need to add some more functions to check if you already did the Quest Drops for instance, that's new.
I hope you will stick around and read the orange text at the top of this page for some info on why release comes a bit later than you're used to during Arathi and Darkshore!
It seems like a lot of the functionality of the rares in Nazjatar are running on a (weekly/daily) loot divide, meaning that while you'll be able to kill them daily and get some reward there are other things that are weekly. Things this might include (haven't done research on this) are reputation (tokens, Urduu for example), pearls and gear. It might be worth having some kind of separate tracker in each tooltip in the list that shows whether you have killed it this week (as opposed to this reset).
In reply to buurmandebuurman:
it is already tracking the kills on their attached quest ID. so I'm just checking if you've completed a quest that is attached to the Rare. if available you havn't killed him yet and will be awarded loot. on kill my addon checks the quest, if completed it marks it af "Defeated" and you know that Rare will not drop anything for you anymore until the quest is reset. My addon keeps probing those quest ID's so it's already taking care of it.
Check it out if you don't believe me, go kill some bad. guys and see them being "Defeated in the list". Relog tomorrow and see then "Available again". if you log out and in before the reset it will still say "Defeated" as I told you, it's already working that way.
In reply to buurmandebuurman:
Isn't that quest marked as Weekly? So those shows available and they can drop gear on a daily base but only award you something special once a week?
I'm just trying to understand what the case is exactly as I haven't even got the time yet to play and go into the zones so I have no clue on that. This is all due to what's stated in orange on top of the page. I put the only energy I have into coding at the moment so No time to unlock it all yet.
If this is what you mean then I can only ask you to create an issue, mark it as a new feature request and I will take a look at it. At this moment I'm working on a few other things that are much higher in priority as this feature you're talking about so I'm open for these thing, but as stated I can only do little bits at a time and have a priority list on what to tackle down first. Checking the quest drops for instance is the next big prio I'm working on.
