Advanced Loot System

The Advanced Looting Feature is a system to handle looting items and money. It was announced at 2014 SOE Live and expected to go live in late March 2015.

The new loot system is not tied to an expansion. It will be available for everyone.

The loot settings are accessed whenever you kill a creature with loot, from EQ Button > Actions > Advanced Loot, and by typing /advloot in a chat window.

Features

 * Adaptive System - Always loot what you want and never show you items you don't want to see. Auto loot and put in inventory.
 * Random Rolling
 * Master Looter
 * Solo, Group & Raids
 * Assign master looter in raids

It's a snap to get the drops you want while declining the drops you don't need, without having to search through piles of overlapping corpses, or corpses hidden inside a wall. (Hey, it happens sometimes!) The system also elegantly handles group and raid situations with automated rolling or master looter.

Guide
From the test server:


 * Advanced Looting is enabled by default. You can enable/disable it using /advloot, clicking on the Edit Filters button, and toggling the Use Advanced Looting check box


 * /advloot will open the advanced loot window - it will open on its own when things you kill drop items. You can also bind the window to a key or use the EQ button


 * The master looter's setting is what determines whether your group or raid uses advanced looting or classic looting


 * The master looter's auto-split coin setting will affect coin distribution within your group or raid


 * If you are out of range for a kill or out of the zone/dead. You must right click on the corpse to be able to loot items from it. This is signified by a red lock icon overlay. You can make use of the /hidecorpse listed and /hidecorpse listedunlocked to make it easier to do this.

Master Looter designation - You can see the name of the current master looter in your zone at the bottom of the advanced looting window.
