The Advanced Looting Feature is a new system to handle looting items and money. It was announced at 2014 SOE Live that it would be released sometime in late fall or late 2014.

On December 18, 2014, Thom Terrazas, EQ Producer, announced it would be on the Test Server in late January / early February. It will go live once they are satisfied it is ready.

“	The new loot system is not tied to an expansion. It will be available for everyone.	”
— Hludwolf, EQ Developer

Announced 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

“	We've had the chance to test the improved looting system internally on our Beta server and we have been blown away with how convenient it makes collecting items, and how easy it is to use. 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. This is a revolutionary way to manage your item drops and we can't wait to share the system with you. In the near future, this will go out to the Test server. When the time comes, we hope that you pop over to Test to try it out and give us your feedback.	”
