NPCScan helps you find NPCs by scanning nameplates, minimap vignettes, and mouseover targets, with an optional dynamic targeting keybinding. Once an NPC is found by one of these methods, an on screen alert is displayed and an audio alert is played.
Nameplates
Alerts will be triggered whenever a nameplate is created, if that nameplate belongs to one of the tracked NPCs. To use this feature with any reliability, the Interface->Names->Always Show Nameplates option must be turned on from the WoW Game Menu.
Dynamic Target Keybinding
NPCScan includes a key binding that will trigger a dynamically-generated targeting macro. Each time it is pressed, the key binding will trigger a /targetexact <mob name=""> for every tracked NPC in the current zone you are in, in addition to any custom NPC additions. This only attempts a search each time it is triggered; it is not a continuous search.
To access this feature, just set a keybind under the Key Bindings->AddOns->NPCScan->Targeting Macro section.
“Found” Alert
When an NPC is found, NPCScan alerts you by playing a loud and distinctive sound, making your screen pulse red, and displaying a Targeting Button for every NPC that is found.
Targeting Buttons
When clicked, the targeting button tries to target the NPC it depicts. You can also bind a key to trigger the newest button, in cases where multiple buttons are spawned.
Note: These buttons cannot be shown during combat. In the unlikely case that you do find a rare while fighting, the button or buttons will appear after you leave combat.
Options
NPCScan's main options window can be accessed from the Interface Options menu. To access the NPC list and other settings, type “/npcscan”.
New sounds can be added to the alert sound dropdown menu by installing SharedMedia.

Re: The option to delete a found mob
As long as you add the TLPD back to the /npcscan menu (and you clear your cache out), _NPCScan should be able to find the drake again. |

The option to delete a found mob
So, there is the option to delete something if you've found it before. For example, I was flying around and got notified about the time-lost proto. Unfortunately, it was just the corpse. A few days later I noticed the option to remove the TLPD from the options menu, and I did.
Now, according to the front page, I would need to delete the cache entirely to be able to detect it again. If this is the case, did I actually do anything by deleting it from the menu? |

Using Irid1um's excellent lead, I went to wowdb and got all 433 rare + rare elites it knows about. I haven't combed through it for extraneous mobs but it loaded ok when I tried them all the first time..
Wow Interface tells me my list is too long to post here, so I've emailed a copy to saiket. link to offsite download removed - Cairenn (gone, and yet the internet remembers) If you are intersted to try and build your own list, merely search wowdb npc's (wowhead will only show you 200 no matter what you do) for rare + rare elite mobs. Save a copy of the page that brings up. You now have a text file full of the id's, mobs, desc, etc etc. Some deft macroing along with search & replace will turn {id:61,type:7,classification:4,react:[3,3],name:'Thuros Lightfingers',minlevel:11,locs:[12]}, into: ["Thuros Lightfingers"] = 61, I found at least one nonexistant mob in there, "Khell's M'uru". No idea what that's about.

While leveling I've added all the rare spawns of popular alliance zones to the search engine. Zones include Westfall, Redridge Mountains, Duskwood, Stranglethorn Vale, Dustwallow Marsh, Tanaris, Feralas, Un'Goro Crater and possibly others aswell. Little Timmy in Stormwind will also be detected, as his cat is pretty valuable. I thought it might be useful for others to have the data, so I'm posting it here. All you have to do is to navigate to *WOWDIR*\wtf\account\*ACCOUNTNAME*\*SERVERNAME*\*CHARNAME*\SavedVariables\_NPCScan.lua and paste the following into the file, overwriting all of the other text
Code:
_NPCScanOptionsCharacter = { ["Achievements"] = { [1312] = true, [2257] = true, }, ["NPCs"] = { ["nefaru"] = 534, ["kregg keelhaul"] = 8203, ["cyclok the mad"] = 8202, ["mith'rethis the enchanter"] = 8217, ["commander felstrom"] = 771, ["bro'gaz"] = 18684, ["gnawbone"] = 14425, ["boulderheart"] = 14273, ["greater firebird"] = 8207, ["witherheart the stalker"] = 8218, ["uhk'loc"] = 6585, ["drogoth the roamer"] = 14231, ["snarlflare"] = 14272, ["naraxis"] = 574, ["mirelow"] = 14424, ["mongress"] = 14344, ["vultros"] = 462, ["arash-ethis"] = 5349, ["old cliff jumper"] = 8211, ["big samras"] = 14280, ["the ongar"] = 14345, ["leprithus"] = 572, ["marisa du'paige"] = 599, ["old grizzlegut"] = 5352, ["lady zephris"] = 14277, ["razortalon"] = 8210, ["kazon"] = 584, ["miner johnson"] = 3586, ["lord angler"] = 14236, ["the reak"] = 8212, ["dragonmaw battlemaster"] = 1037, ["antilus the soarer"] = 5347, ["master digger"] = 1424, ["squiddic"] = 14270, ["diamond head"] = 5345, ["slark"] = 519, ["fenros"] = 507, ["haarka the ravenous"] = 8205, ["ribchaser"] = 14271, ["scale belly"] = 1552, ["kurmokk"] = 14491, ["takk the leaper"] = 5842, ["ripscale"] = 14233, ["mezzir the howler"] = 10197, ["snarler"] = 5356, ["ragepaw"] = 14342, ["sludginn"] = 14433, ["olm the wise"] = 14343, ["burgle eye"] = 14230, ["clutchmother zavas"] = 6582, ["immolatus"] = 7137, ["dart"] = 14232, ["sergeant brashclaw"] = 506, ["warleader krazzilak"] = 8199, ["jin'zallah the sandbringer"] = 8200, ["darkmist widow"] = 4380, ["hayoc"] = 14234, ["rohh the silent"] = 947, ["chatter"] = 616, ["ravasaur matriarch"] = 6581, ["retherokk the berserker"] = 8216, ["creepthess"] = 14279, ["ma'ruk wyrmscale"] = 2090, ["skoll"] = 35189, ["the rot"] = 14235, ["rak'shiri"] = 10200, ["zul'arek hatefowler"] = 8219, ["qirot"] = 5350, ["alshirr banebreath"] = 14340, ["lil timmy"] = 8666, ["grimungous"] = 8215, ["lord malathrom"] = 503, ["grizzle snowpaw"] = 10199, ["lady szallah"] = 5343, ["death howl"] = 14339, ["oozeworm"] = 14237, ["scargil"] = 14276, ["ro'bark"] = 14278, ["garneg charskull"] = 2108, ["gondria"] = 33776, ["omgorn the lost"] = 8201, ["brack"] = 520, ["soriid the devourer"] = 8204, ["time-lost proto drake"] = 32491, ["murderous blisterpaw"] = 8208, ["razormaw matriarch"] = 1140, ["foe reaper 4000"] = 573, ["roloch"] = 14488, ["gluggle"] = 14487, ["bloodroar the stalker"] = 5346, ["seeker aqualon"] = 14269, ["gnarl leafbrother"] = 5354, ["ironback"] = 8213, ["brimgore"] = 4339, ["dessecus"] = 7104, ["verifonix"] = 14492, ["lord sakrasis"] = 2541, ["rippa"] = 14490, ["lupos"] = 521, }, ["Version"] = "3.2.0.8", } 1) Please make a backup of the original file first. 2) Those mobs will not have colored areas on any map and 3) you have to do this for each character you want to detect the rares with. For chars of level 60+ this is obsolete since you probably won't go back to the lowbie zones anyways. 4) Adding all of these will increase the number of false alarms you will get when you stumble upon a tamed version of a rare mob. So far this hasnt been a problem for me though. To add rares of other zones: go to www.wowhead.com and do a search for the zone you want. Click on the zone and you will have a listing of NPCs. Create a filter for "rare". Click on one of the rare mobs and look at the URL. The last part of the URL is the NPC ID#, like 534 is the ID for Nefaru. You can paste that info either directly into the lua file (with the correct formatting) or enter it ingame in the config dialog of NPCScan. Have fun!
