WowAce

After a long break, XLoot is back!

Fully updated for Midnight (patch 12.0.7) — and now working across the Classic flavors too. Thanks for your patience while it caught up.

XLoot is continued with the blessing of its original author, Xuerian, who created and maintained it for years. All credit for the original work is his.

A stable release, working and in active use. Tested and supported on every current flavor — see below. If you hit a problem, please check the issue tracker and open an issue if it isn't already reported.

Supported versions

XLoot is tested and working on all current flavors:

• Retail — Midnight (12.0.7)
• Mists of Pandaria Classic (5.5.x)
• Burning Crusade Classic (2.5.5)
• Classic Era (1.15.8)

About

XLoot is a set of modules that improve looting in World of Warcraft by replacing the default loot frames with cleaner, more informative, and far more configurable ones. Use all of them or only the ones you want — each module can be enabled or disabled like any other addon.

Modules

XLoot Frame — the loot window

• Replaces the default Loot Frame with a compact, skinnable window showing quality borders, item level, and more.
• Rule-based auto-looting — automatically loot only what you want:
  • by category: currency, quest items, trade goods
  • by gear: minimum quality and minimum item level
  • by value: minimum total vendor price
  • by a custom item list, or simply everything
  • each rule can apply Solo, in Groups, Always, or Never
• Link an entire loot drop to chat with one click.
• Extensive appearance options: colors, sizes, fonts, anchoring, and Masque skin support.

XLoot Monitor — the loot feed

• A "toaster" that pops a clean notification for each item looted — yours and/or others' — similar to Guild Wars 2.
• Great for watching what's dropping at a glance, or for moving loot spam out of your chat box entirely.
• Shows item level on gear, stack counts, quality coloring, and more.

XLoot Group — group loot rolls

• Need / Greed / Pass roll frames (plus Transmog on retail and Disenchant where the game supports it), with a roll timer.
• The live roll-tracking display (who rolled what, current winner) is being rebuilt against Blizzard's newer loot-history API — the roll buttons themselves work today.

XLoot Master — master loot (Classic flavors only)

• A configurable master-looter interface: assign loot from a clean right-click menu, with special recipients (banker, disenchanter, self), raid rolls, and award announcements to chat.
• Available on the Classic flavors (Classic Era, Burning Crusade, Mists of Pandaria), where master loot still exists. Not on retail — Blizzard removed master loot in patch 8.0.1.
• Open its options with /xlml.

How to use

• Type /xloot (or go to Game Menu → Options → AddOns → XLoot) to configure everything.
• /xlm toggles the Monitor's anchor so you can drag the loot feed where you want it.
• /xlg toggles the Group anchor so you can position the roll frames.
• /xlml opens the Master Loot options (Classic flavors only).
• Every option has a mouseover tooltip explaining exactly what it does.
• Don't want a module? Disable XLoot Frame, Monitor, Group, or Master individually in the AddOns list, like any other addon.

Auto-loot quick start

1. Open /xloot → Loot Frame → Auto-looting.
2. XLoot's auto-loot rules run when its loot window opens, so leave WoW's own blanket auto-loot off if you want XLoot to do the filtering.
3. Set each rule to Never / Solo / Group / Always. For gear and value, also set the minimum quality, item level, or price.

Masque skins

Not all Masque skins will work without adjustment. See the comments at the top of skins.lua for how to add a tweak for a specific skin.
