What it does
- Shows a button in the middle of the screen when a rare NPC, a treasure or an event is near, with the name, a miniature and the loot it can drop
- Puts every tracked rare, treasure and event on the world map, with a tooltip for loot and all known spawn spots
- Has a rare explorer that lists the NPCs and treasures of a zone, so you can look for the ones that drop what you are missing
- Lets you filter what it tracks and add your own NPCs, even ones that are not rare
- Offers a macro you can click again and again to detect the rares around you in the Classic clients
- In the Classic clients it finds NPCs through nameplates, because the game has no vignettes there
