Easiest way to loot?
|
Hi all,
I'm a newbie just started over in AC after about 3 years away. I need to get XPs and loot and can never work out which Olthoi corpses I've looted and which I haven't, so end up wasting a lot of loot to keep my XPs going well.
Is there an add-on out there that will support the following scenario?
I manually (not with a combat macro, although I don't mind installing one if needed) kill a bunch of olthoi in a heap around me.
I then press a button and the add-on goes through every corpse and loots according to settings I've entered. (would be good to set a max distance to check as well)
Then at the end of my buffs I have another button I press which loots absolutely everything from all of the corpses around me.
Thanks for any help,
Skek.

Yeah, it's called ElTank.
Keep ElTank in *buff only* mode, but turn on ElTrack. It will keep you alive and buffed (as well as full of mana) but will not attack a single monster (ie it will not be a UCM, or even ACM program) and yet in ElTrack, you can set it so that it will automatically loot each body for just the stuff you want.
Contrary to what some think, ElTank isn't just for UCMing, or even ACMing, it is just like any other tool out there, it's all in how you use it.

wow thanks Arch_Magi...that's perfect.
I didn't think I'd be the first to want this lol - everything in my post is beautifully covered by your suggestion.
Thanks,
Skek.

The AC client itself has built in 'open next unopened corpse' support now. Go to the Options/Configure Keyboard/UI tab. It's about half way down that list.

only problem with the built in one is it opens, or tries to, any unopen corpse not just your own kills and it even sees other players corpses as an unopen corpse

The easiest way to loot is to walk over to your patrons/monarch chest and open it.

A tool helps you, however, a looting - salvaging all incorporated (buff mode only) corpse auto program is like having your food delivered by direct express (al ready prepared you don't have to do anything but watch), all you have to do is click the microwave switch and eat it after warmed up.
You are hypocrite maddy - How that is ok justifed to auto loot but acm combat macro is bad seems a little twisted to me - you are both lazy bums taking the easy way out - neither one is better or worse. Glad there are things to make life easier for you - maybe you need a robot to give you shower, and colthe you too - or wait maybe that is your mother doing it already.

I don't know what you're talking about considering Maddy hasn't even posted on this thread, but autolooting is entirely different from automating combat. One takes away any challenge or skill the game had and totally puts it on auto mode, and the other is just picking up stuff off corpses.
There's nothing hypocritical about supporting autolooting and not combat macroing, because combat macroing completely removes any point the game had.

Not to mention many other games have an auto-loot function in the game client.

You do not have to have eltank running in buffonly in order to use eltrack, it runs separately. Just need to have the box checked
