Collect Me

For many World of Warcraft players, the true endgame is not raiding or PvP—it is the relentless pursuit of mounts, companions, titles, and toys. The sheer volume of collectibles spread across Azeroth and beyond can be overwhelming. Collect Me is the addon that transforms this chaotic hunt into an organized, enjoyable journey. It keeps a comprehensive record of what you own, what you are missing, and exactly where to find each item, all within a sleek in-game interface.

What Makes Collect Me Essential for Collectors

Unlike the default collections tab, Collect Me for World of Warcraft goes far beyond a simple checklist. It automatically builds a personalized database based on your faction, class, and current progress. Hovering over any missing mount or title instantly reveals a tooltip with detailed acquisition information—whether it drops from a rare spawn, requires an achievement, or is sold by a vendor. This eliminates the need to constantly alt-tab to external websites, keeping you immersed in the game.

The addon also introduces powerful filtering options. You can hide items that are impossible for your character to obtain, such as class-specific mounts or faction-locked titles. An ignore list lets you manually remove collectibles you have no interest in, while pre-configured filters help you focus on what is realistically achievable. This balance of detail and speed makes Collect Me a favorite among completionists and casual collectors alike.

How to Install Collect Me

Getting started is straightforward. First, download Collect Me from a trusted addon source like CurseForge or WoWInterface. Once you have the compressed folder, extract its contents into your World of Warcraft _retail_/Interface/AddOns directory. For Classic or expansion-specific clients, place it in the corresponding _classic_, _classic_era_, or expansion folder. After extraction, ensure the addon is enabled in the character selection screen. If you prefer a hassle-free setup, the foxygame.net launcher includes Collect Me in its curated addon catalog, allowing you to install and auto-update it with a single click, so you never miss a new mount or pet due to an outdated version.

Compatibility Across World of Warcraft Versions

One of the standout strengths of Collect Me is its broad compatibility. Whether you are adventuring in Retail, reliving the original journey in Classic, or progressing through The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, or Mists of Pandaria, the addon adapts seamlessly. It recognizes expansion-specific collectibles and adjusts its database accordingly, so you never see mounts from a later era in your Classic client. This version-aware design ensures that your collection tracking remains accurate no matter which version of the game you play.

Mastering Macros and Slash Commands

Upon installation, Collect Me creates two essential macros: CollectMeRC for random companion summoning and CollectMeRM for random mount summoning. Left-clicking the companion macro summons a random pet from your defined list, while right-clicking dismisses it. The mount macro’s behavior is fully configurable in the Random Mount tab. If the macros do not appear, simply type /cm macro in chat to regenerate them.

Slash commands provide quick access to all features. Use /collectme or /cm to open the main window. /cm randomcompanion (or /cm rc) summons a random companion based on your settings, and /cm randommount (or /cm rm) does the same for mounts. /cm options opens the profile settings, and you can even launch the addon directly from the Blizzard Mount tab via a dedicated button.

Random Summoning and Zone-Based Mount Logic

The random summoning feature is where Collect Me truly shines. You can define a custom pool of favorite mounts and companions, and the addon will randomly select one each time you use the macro. What sets it apart is its intelligent zone detection. In areas like Vashj'ir where flying is restricted, the addon automatically prioritizes ground or aquatic mounts. If you are inside Ahn'Qiraj and have a Qiraji battle tank enabled, it will always be chosen over a standard ground mount. When multiple zone-appropriate mounts are available, the addon randomly picks among them, giving you both immersion and variety without manual switching.

3D Model Previews and Battle Pet Integration

Visual collectors will appreciate the 3D model preview. Left-clicking any mount or companion in the main window opens a rotatable model viewer, letting you inspect the item before committing to the grind. You can also Ctrl+left-click a mount or companion link in chat to see its preview. For pet battlers, Collect Me adds tooltips to wild battle pets indicating if you are missing that companion, along with chat alerts when you encounter a higher quality or level version. This turns every battle into a potential collection upgrade.

Staying Updated and Contributing

The addon relies on community-driven data from sources like Wowhead and WoWDB. If you discover a missing item in its database, a chat message will notify you, and you can report it via the CurseForge ticket system or GitHub. Translations are also crowd-sourced; while Collect Me ships with English and partial German, you can contribute your language through the WowAce translation library. Regular updates keep the addon aligned with new patches and expansions, and using a manager like the foxygame.net launcher ensures you receive these updates automatically, maintaining perfect compatibility with every World of Warcraft version you play.

Why Collect Me Deserves a Spot in Your Addon Folder

In a game with thousands of collectibles, Collect Me is more than a convenience—it is a strategic tool. It saves hours of research, prevents duplicate efforts, and adds a layer of fun to the daily mount run. The combination of detailed source information, smart filters, and random summoning makes it indispensable for anyone serious about building their collection. Whether you are chasing the elusive Invincible’s Reins or simply want a random companion by your side, this addon delivers. Download Collect Me today and turn your collection goals into reality.
