Faster Auto-Loot

I have been trying out various addons lately and found a QoL type addon that has an amazing option.

Faster auto loot: If checked the amount of time required to auto loot mobs will be significantly reduced.

Its from an addon called Leatrix Plus. Though probably any addon with that option will work, this is just one I found.

And oh my goodness it works absolutely amazing. No more IwT and jumping or spamming lootarang and acceptloot macros. It just automatically does all that somehow and everyone loots with just one try.

Maybe Ebony or another addon author can look through and see how it does that. With this addon I no longer need any looting tricks with isBoxer.

As you say, there are several add-ons that accomplish this:

Leatrix Plus (linked above)
fasterloot
bobsfastloot
LootAssist (by Jabberie | also stickied in this forum)
JAMBA (see below)

JAMBA already has this feature built into it. I don't have the exact option to enable sitting in front of me, but it's in the section for looting.


I also have a video on all of this:

Out of all of those I've found bobFastLoot to be the most performant. Leatrix Plus crashes my master if I have a full inventory or hit my IWT target before it's done closing the loot window when trying to loot quest items. JAMBAs advanced loot has similar problems though it's less frequent. bobFastLoot is also just a lot faster, at least with my setup. I could have conflicting addons elsewhere or it could just be that a standalone option works better in this regard.

Its such a frustrating chore to update my UI. I should have left it like it was, its been working fine unchanged for the last few years.

FasterLoot is one of the best autolooting addons. If you get interrupted while looting, you will get an error from FasterLoot, but u will surely loot the items. While all the other addons won't loot the items if you get interrupted.

Hey, as MiRai said jamba does have something basicy the same most of the addons just loop looting until all the items are "gone".

Jamba avd loot used to check the items, to see if that item was on a white list, so only bubbles would pick up all BoE items, But as Legion kinda massed this up making personnel loot on all mobs i did keep it in on legion as you could set older dungeons to FFA still. but since the new levelling scaling that has been removed as well. Even was in "old" raids i know this was hotfixed a little but still it does not work like it did. making a lot of this pointless.

really atm all you want do is use the top 3 box's

1st box turns off auto-loot - and uses the loop system.
2nd will toggle the blizzard Autoloot on (as jamba auto loot only currently works in a group.)
3nd box, will try and close the loot box, not sure if its needed or not..



The Plan going forward is to remove this module and the top options* will be coded in somewhere else. the problem i find a lot of the other addons use the server check to see if there "loot" and this can lead to dcs.

Can you elaborate on what "get interrupted" means?

Or i sometimes get errors like "You don't have permission to loot that corpse." while looting something from multiple chars at the same time.

Well, I can tell you from experience that bobfastloot is not affected by either of those error messages (it's what I personally use), and I doubt that JAMBA or LootAssist are affected by them either, as I'm pretty sure that all of these add-ons work off of a loop, where the loot command is constantly looped (in the Lua code) to clear out any and all available loot.

Oh right ya this can happen if the server not given you access to to lootyet as jamba calls loot_open not loot_ready many other add-ons do use the 2nd but in turn unless you have a great low route to the server your going to dc. I tried this and many many boxers have problems.

The other way is just to hide the red text not hard to do


But still it will loot it in the end. as it does a 50 time loot in jamba!

Correct, LootAssist checks how many items are there and loops through them until you've received everything.

The error can happen whenever more than one character hits a node at the same time. Node being any container of "loot".

bobfastloot is a good addon, but sometimes the looting window just stucks opened and i have to click on every single item to loot that node and if i don't do it, even if i re-loot the node i'll still have to click on every item from the looting window. Any idea what could be causing this?

I don't know why you would see that behavior, but I've been using bobfastloot for probably almost a year and I've never had that happen to me.

Are you using any other fast looting addons/options as well? They often conflict with each other. Things like faster looting in Leatrix Plus or Advanced Loot in JAMBA. Make sure bobFastLoot is the ONLY fast looting addon/option you have enabled. Also, I believe I had similar issues some time back and turning off the Loot and Loot Roll features in the General tab of ElvUI did the trick.

Nope, i know that they conflict with each other. I am also using ElvUI and only the "Loot Roll" option is enabled, ill have it disabled and do some testings again. Thanks!

Hi i just wonted to pop in here and say i have re-wiren the Loot for Jamba-EE .

It no longer gets stuck! like it used to i have had a few tested it that used the other addons out there and they said its as good or better!

as well because of the boxing theme! It can tell you if you loot a BoE epic Or BoE Blue Item! great if you have a few teams with a few changes to chat msg you could have this go to guild/party chat and have this on a new window!

i have to say am really happy with it! a lot the other addons make a table with the loot and then runs every x secs (on your fps) using OnUpdate()* i have done it in a loop but it does not always run in the bg like the other 3 or 4 addons out there does!

* this does not really matter with a single char but you really when you start x5 x10 etc... it can be a problem.
