Automatic Looting

Kill something, and the loot is in your backpack before you have taken a step. The server empties the corpse for you, using exactly the loot list the quick-loot button already uses — so the setting up happens in the client, and the switching on happens in one command.

1. Switch it on

Type this in the game, in any chat channel:

The server answers each one in the game window, so you always know which of the three you are on. The setting belongs to the character, not the account, and it is remembered — set it once and it survives logging out, dying and the next server save.

2. Tell it where to put things

The command on its own picks up nothing. What is taken, and what it is put into, is the client's loot manager — the same one the quick-loot button uses. If you have never set it up, do this first.

1. Open a backpack, right-click it and choose the loot-container entry (Manage Loot Containers in the current client). The loot manager opens.
2. Give loot somewhere to go. Assign one bag to take everything, or a bag per category if you like your gold, your gems and your creature products arriving in different places. No container assigned means nothing is picked up, however the command is set.
3. Decide what it takes. The list works one of two ways: as a skip list, where everything is taken except what you put on it, or as an accept list, where only what you put on it is taken. An empty skip list means "take the lot", which is what most people want to start with.
4. Close the window. Nothing needs saving, and nothing needs repeating after a logout.

Everything here is the client's own, so it applies to quick-looting by hand too. Automatic looting only saves you the button.

What it will not do

• Loot a body you cannot reach. The server checks it can walk to the corpse before it empties it. Something killed across a chasm, behind a wall, on the far side of a fire field or from the other end of a distance shot stays a corpse — go and stand next to it.
• Loot somebody else's kill. It goes to whoever dealt the most damage, which is the same rule the corpse itself follows.
• Open reward bosses for you. Reward corpses are never looted automatically, on any setting. That chest is yours to open, and the reward is claimed the usual way.
• Make room. Anything that will not fit — full bag, no capacity — is left in the corpse rather than dropped, so a hunt with a full backpack quietly stops collecting.
• Change what drops. The loot rate is x3 on Webwarriors whether you use this or not. It saves clicks, not gold.
