Tonight I had a few beers and maybe a shot of whiskey or two and was trying to collect some items. I was looking through my groups bags to see if everyone had a collection and decided to write a script to do that for me, cause its a PITA to look through your bags.
I wrote a python script that will show me all the items that all six of my toons have in inventory. This can be used for different things, but I wrote it mainly for collections. Maybe you'll find it useful if you like Python. I know most people have shifted to Lua and this is totally doable in Lua. Like I said already, I've had a few beers and don't know Lua as well as others, so I wrote this in python. Just trying to give back to the community.

Assumptions:
- Your running MacroQuest
- Your running Lootly
- You have added the collections for the zone your in to your Lootly_Loot.ini file, Example:
Code:
Votive Candle=Keep|1 - You have a version of Python 3.x installed
- You need to dump your inventory on all your toons
- Then run this python script (after following the instructions in the script)
- I also utilize VS Code for my scripts
