Jamba Extension for choosing which character loots Motes of Harmony (or any item)

[schilm]

Free for all... I always play with free for all, and I haven't tested it with any other loot method.

[MiRai]

is this supposed to be used on master loot or free for all?

Free-For-All

FYI: This addon assumes you have Free For All looting set.

EDIT: Beat me to it!

P.S. This addon is now part of Jamba (as at 5.1.1), you can find it under Team -> Advanced Loot.

Heh found this thread when I noticed Advanced loot since updating, enabled it no knowing what it is, then figured, "check the forums" Great addition! I will implement this when I see its needed! Great work Schilm! Thanks Jafula for incorporating it into Jamba!

Such a long time and I didn't know about this. Next thing someone will tell me FTL support is in Jamba or some such....

Anyways, I'm on Timeless Isle... and the epic items drop from normal mobs occasionally.... cringed when two fell back to back, but I got lucky and slave that needed the item got the item. Whew.

Using this advanced loot, I can set up which char will loot them, so whoever needs boots will loot boots.... oh no... i just noticed they have the "You can trade this with another eligible player..." on them.... ah well.... still good for motes ;-) (I thought they turned that off trading thing off at one point... oh well )

Thanks for the plugin and thanks of course to Jafula for keeping Jamba going.

OK... looking at this some more, one item that dropped can be traded, the other on cannot. The one that can be traded can be used by other chars, the one that cannot it for a spec that isn't in the group. So that means, with enough setup, you can use this feature to funnel items to the char with the alt on it's account that needs the, say, cloth upgrade.

But thing brings up the question... is there a way to add items to be governed by Advanced Loot that you don't posses?

[Brandish]

Hmm. Now I'm concerned that if a toon is told it's not suppose to loot, say, the glove item, that if a it comes from one of the chests, or from one of the rares, it will leave it. (Everyone gets their own loot roll on rares)

Hmm. And Auto closing the loot window fails for the BoA Windfeather Plume.

You know you can mail the armor caches (timeless isle) to your alts right? There is no concern about who loots what and when, just mail it to the toon that needs it when your gaming session is done.

if there on the same battle.net.

Saying that if your in the same group you can trade the item like dungeon loot for 2 hours!

[moosejaw]

Doh! I forgot about that. Trading like dungeon loot would be nice too.

I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong - I can't seem to get this to work, and the only reason I need it is for those stupid motes of harmony. If I click loot with my main, it sees the mote and tells me to loot on my alt (priest) I have specified. If I then broadcast my interact with target, my melee characters all loot and snag the mote. I'm assuming this isn't supposed to just be a loot alert so you loot with the right character - I need it to PREVENT my other characters from picking it up.

I do have auto loot turned off, so this is actually performing the loot on the alts...
