Discussion - Uprising Armor Lining Drops (1 Viewer)

I was curious if there is a way to automate the distribution of T3 armor lining drops to make player made armor between a group members? The T3 linings are very rare this expansion and I would hate to assign a drop to a character that has one.

Feel free to move this post to the correct location.

I use lootly to do this by setting the loot to either 1 or 2 (for wrists), so it will distribute the item to the toons in the group automatically. Where it falls down is once you make the item, it no longer knows the toon does not need that item. So I am looking for a better solution also

I wonder if lootly can be modified with a list of made pieces to filter on, but that would require some extensive changes I am sure.

It can be broken by classes, not sure about individual characters.

Lining=keep|1|SHD,PAL,WAR....etc etc. Can just add and remove classes as needed

I do that once I start getting things made, but its a PITA to maintain, and especially if you have 2 separate groups.

Thank you for your responses! I'll give lootly a shot.

for exactly the same reason, i don’t make my type 4s, 5s or 7s until all toons have the correct number of yellow and purple uprising worms. once you start making them the loot designation/ assignment gets really really hard too.

As far as the lining drops, and making the armour goes, yup as others say, toggle by class is the finest filter

Aside from the T3 drops being more rare, can any mob drop a lining or (I assume) certain mobs have certain linings they drop. What resources, other then eqresource, would you recommend a person go looking for a detailed list of which mobs the linings drop from?

And I thought LoS drop rate for linings was really slow. How is ToB compared to LoS and about how long are you having to camp to get a drop or enough linings for your group?

Any insights would be appreciated.

I am looking at the Lootly source code, and I dont think it would be too hard to add a section for Character specific looting. It would probably break Lootier functionality unless we then change Lootier to handle it also. I was thinking a 'Character|MyToonName,ToonName2|2,1' structure to handle it, but I would have to consider a bunch of different scenarios to test it out. Unless we moved this to a separate loot ini just for characters, which may be a better solution to keep things clean. Maybe just have these as an over-ride path, then if it doesn't exist, or none of the characters in that list are in-zone or need the items any more, then it uses the Lootly ini decision tree.

I think it is slower from my experience. I have gotten very few T3 TS drops, but have gotten a ton of the T2 visible armor pieces, such that they almost always rot nowadays.

I’ve given up on group tier 3 drops (linings). All of my guys are in tier 2 group drops, random tier 3 I get, with my main focus on tier 1 and 2 raid drops. TOL raid tier 1 drops are still better than TOB group tier 3. This will be the last expac that is true though.

Lining drops are just too rare for me try and farm them.
