Looting Apexis Crystals and other stuff

[Ughmahedhurtz]

General UI/usage question for the DB family: how do you guys loot Apexis Crystals en masse? This applies to anything that all 5 characters can loot off the same corpse(s), usually daily or quest items.

When I'm out doing quests or the dailies and I drop a pack of mobs, 2 or 3 of the 5 will loot all the drops but 2-3 will be stuck with the loot window open with the "Item not ready" or something similar. Is there a good way to loot the rest without mouse-broadcasting clicks or deselect-then-loot-again? I'm probably missing something silly; if anyone will know, you guys will. ;)

I suppose I could put my IWT key on round-robin but that seems inelegant.

Using Jamba manage auto loot stops that problem for me.

Get the engineering made loot-a-rang. Don't need to be an engineer to use it. And they are fairly cheap. Put one on all your toons and hotkey it. Then no more searching for downed mobs with loot.

I use a round robin type loot.

On my main team I just use a round robin interact with target key. On my hunter team I use round robin "fetch" glyph similar to the loot-a-rang.

I'll give that a shot tonight. Also need to look into what it takes to make the loot-a-rang as I do have a mid-level engineer.

Thanks, y'all.

My loot setup consists of a two-step Mapped Key which executes IWT on press, and on release does a /run CloseLoost() macro.

managed loot in jabra + Loot-a-rang = loot win

Anyone have a solution for those pesky primal spirit notices?

I like this idea, going to try it out, was not aware of this macro. Do you have to spam the key?

That will do it, wonder if it can be added to an all-in-one loot macro.

I haven't tried it, but this should work: http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/API_ConfirmBindOnUse

Yeah, I usually have to hit it a few times (usually 2-3), and I always watch the loot log to make sure all characters have looted what they need (regarding things like quest items).

Interesting. I'll try adding that to my loot key.

I guess I'll add Lua to my list of things to learn.

Use the following in chat:
/framestack

A window pops up and when you hover over anything it puts the name of it in the window. When the loot message is up hover over the accept button. I could be wrong but was sure that was the correct name.

Of the ones I've tried, this seems to be the most forgiving of..."glitchy" interactions. Though I'm still going to see if I can work in Fetch and/or Loot-a-rang. Fetch I have on my hunters, but Loot-a-rangs are hard to come by on my server, apparently.

I use the following macro:

#showtooltip
/use Findle's Loot-A-Rang
/click StaticPopup1Button1

Usually in my case, 3/5 toons will loot the first time, then I wait for the Loot-a-Rang cooldown(3 seconds), hit it again, and everyone has loot. And this is not my creation. Full credit to Multibear/Deimon on the Isboxer forums.

I consider the Loot-A-Rang a must have item. It requires WoD mats to make so it should be easy to find an engineer to craft it.

The one you want is called Findle's Loot-A-Rang.

Yep, and like I says, the mats are all being used for other stuff. I'll check again Saturday/Sunday when the AH is a bit busier. And I do have an engineer that I'm spending cooldowns on to generate mats. Worst case, it'll be a few weeks before I have a few.

[Môô]

Try this one.


/use Findle's Loot-A-Rang
/run LootSlot(1)
/run LootSlot(2)
/run LootSlot(3)
/run LootSlot(4)
/run LootSlot(5)
/run LootSlot(6)
/run LootSlot(7)
/run LootSlot(8)
/run LootSlot(9)
/click StaticPopup1Button1

I'm pretty happy with it, but i'm just 2-boxing atm, so i don't know how it works out on 5 toons. I havent seen a "object is busy" message or a toon stuck in loot position for a while now.
I guess the LUA script part could be written in a single line, but i don't know how to do that.

Edit: Forgot to mention that you'll have to tap it 2 or 3 times quickly to have the best results.

I jump and loot again
