Faster Auto-Loot

[JohnGabriel]

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.

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.

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?
