Remember My Rare
Exploring the vast landscapes of Azeroth often leads to unexpected encounters with powerful foes. Whether you are hunting for specific loot, completing achievements, or just enjoying the thrill of the chase, defeating a rare mob is a memorable moment. However, human memory is fallible, and recalling the exact coordinates of a spawn point days or weeks later can be frustrating. This is where Remember My Rare changes the game. This intelligent addon automatically marks your minimap and world map with skull pins wherever you have successfully defeated a rare creature, ensuring you never forget a location again.
How It Works Across All Expansions
The beauty of this tool lies in its seamless integration into your gameplay loop. You do not need to manually click buttons or type commands every time you defeat an enemy. The addon automatically detects when you kill a rare or rare-elite mob. Once the deed is done, a confirmation message appears in your chat log, and a persistent skull pin is placed on your map. This functionality works flawlessly whether you are playing the modern Retail version of the game or diving into legacy content like Classic, The Burning Crusade (TBC), Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK), Cataclysm, or Mists of Pandaria (MoP).
These pins are not temporary markers that vanish upon logging out. They persist indefinitely across sessions, meaning a kill from five minutes ago is treated with the same importance as one from five days ago. Furthermore, the data is account-wide. If you defeat a rare on your main character, all your alternative characters can see that marker, allowing you to efficiently coordinate farming routes or avoid already cleared zones.
Advanced Map Features and Navigation
Navigating to your past victories is intuitive thanks to the dual-map support. On the world map, accessible by pressing 'M', pins appear directly on the zone map where the kill occurred. They also populate the continent map, giving you a high-level overview of which zones you have thoroughly explored and cleared. This bird's-eye view is invaluable for planning efficient travel paths between continents.
When you are physically present in the zone, the minimap takes over. The skull pins will appear immediately, but the addon includes a smart "edge floating" feature. If the specific location of the kill is off-screen, the pin floats to the nearest edge of the minimap, acting as a compass needle pointing you in the right direction. As you approach within approximately 150 yards of the recorded location, the pin fades to 20% opacity. This visual cue makes it incredibly easy to know exactly when you have arrived at the spot without needing to guess coordinates.
Interacting with these markers provides deep insights into your hunting history. Simply hover your cursor over any pin to reveal a detailed tooltip. This display shows the mob's name highlighted in rare gold, the precise date and time of the kill, and a cumulative kill count if you have defeated that specific enemy multiple times. For those who prefer text-based data, the command /rmr list outputs a comprehensive table in your chat window, detailing names, dates, maps, and counts for every tracked encounter.
Installation and Management
Getting started with this utility is straightforward for players of all technical levels. When you look up how to install this addon, you will find that it follows the standard procedure of placing the folder in your Interface/AddOns directory. However, many players prefer using a dedicated launcher to streamline the process. For instance, the foxygame.net launcher offers a unique advantage by featuring a curated addon catalog that allows for a one-click install of Remember My Rare, automatically handling version compatibility checks so you can jump straight into hunting without worrying about broken interfaces after a game patch.
Once installed, you have full control over your data through simple slash commands. Typing /rmr toggle allows you to hide or show all pins instantly, which is useful if you want a clean map view during other activities. If you ever need to reset your tracking data, perhaps at the start of a new season or expansion, you can initiate a wipe by typing /rmr clear. The addon requires a confirmation step via /rmr confirm to prevent accidental deletion of your hard-earned history. You can also use /rmr on its own to quickly see how many total rare kills are currently being tracked on your account.
