Looting?

[william_whit]

I have a question. I was wondering if there was a command for looting so you can loot with another character when multiboxing without having to swith windows all the time..

thnx for the help

Set loot to free for all, then go and quest. When an item drops, loot it with an add and on to the next mob. This way you will only have to switch if an item really dropped, and by doing the quest on your main as last, you can easily see what's dropping.

It's not that much of a big deal, I even started doing more drop quests since drop rates seem to have gone up in 2 years(When I last did the quests that I'm doing now ;))

Having quest helper with you also helps alot ... Hence the name queste helper :thumbsup:

A partial solution is to set your groups loot to "Loot Master" this means all items that drop will be given the option of which char to send them to, so If a BOE item drops in a instance or such you can just assign it to a alt via your main.

Extra macro for the wiki:

Autoloot On/Off button with an icon that changes colour when its on and off.
Blue = Off
Green = On


/run m=GameTooltipTextLeft1:GetText();SetAutoLootDefaul t(not GetAutoLootDefault());o=GetAutoLootDefault();ChatF rame1:AddMessage("AL: "..(o and "ON."or"OFF."));for i=0,36 do n,x,b,l=GetMacroInfo(i);if(m==n)then EditMacro(i,n,o and 340 or 323,b,l,_);end end

I have been doing Shattered Halls runs (1 or 2 a day) trying to farm the Spellstrike Hood pattern. I read on wowhead that no one can SEE this pattern, except for the tailor in the group. I have looted other plans to my toons before so this one shouldn't be different, right? If I am on FFA I should see it with my main, but it will just be red, unlootable. If this isn't correct thinking, let me know.

A macro would be insanely handy as my tailor could easily pick up the excess cloth he can harvest :/

edit: Yeah I did see this
BOP profession patterns, can everyone see them? ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=46303&highlight=looting#post46303') but it should still be true post 3.0 right? I have ran that boss 15-20 times and haven't seen it yet.

To me its not that bad.... its almost worse that my main is a skinner and when running around in areas with alot of skinning possibilities it takes quite a while when having to stop up all the time.

I have a macro bound to each character that accepts everything. Invites, trades and whatnot. I will loot everything with my main character and when my bags get full, ill open trade with one of my characters and just throw stuff in the trade. AFter that I press the macro button to accept and we all accept the trade. It's still a pain to loot the 100 corpses sitting in front of me.
