Loot & Wishlists

Build a per-character loot wishlist, import droptimizer sims to see exact upgrades, compare your whole roster, and find the Mythic+ dungeons worth farming.

In short

Loot is one home for everything your raid team wants from The Unbinding of Kith'ix. Rank items in My Wishlist, import a droptimizer sim to see the exact upgrade each one is, find the Mythic+ dungeons worth running, and see who got what in Loot History.

Build Your Wishlist

Your wishlist is per character, and per spec if that character plays more than one.

1

Pick your character and spec

Switch between your claimed characters at the top of the page. If a character plays more than one spec, switch the spec buttons to plan each one on its own, since gear priorities differ by spec.

2

Rank the items you want

Add items per boss and rank them from 1, Best in Slot, down to 5, Do not want. Add a note on any item to explain your priority to your raid lead.

3

Flag which bosses you want in on

Toggle Want in on a boss to tell your raid lead you're after its loot on Heroic or Mythic. This is your ask, not a guarantee, sitting a player for the pull is still the raid lead's call.

4

Say which roll you want on a BoE

Bind-on-Equip drops roll their own stats, so the same item comes in many versions. Once you have ranked one, the dice button on its row sets the main stat, minor stat and tertiary you are after. Your wanted roll shows on the item and next to your name in Group Overview, and each difficulty you picked it at carries its own.

5

Open Off-spec trinkets

Trinkets the journal does not list for your spec sit under an Off-spec trinkets row at the end of each boss or dungeon. Trinkets carrying a stat one of your specs uses come first; the ones under Other primary stats are wanted for their effect alone. Open it and rank one like any other item; it then joins the normal list with an Off-spec or Other stat tag and counts toward your wishlist progress.

Once a droptimizer sim is imported for your character, every item card also shows the exact upgrade that item is for you. When your team's sims cover more than one fight, an ST / 2T / AoE switch next to Sources picks which fight the wishlist, coverage numbers and Droptimizers table read. Your pick is remembered per group; the team default is the fight set in Settings, or the required target count when one is configured.

One List, Every Character of That Class

If you raid the same class on several characters, you do not have to rank the same items six times. Your class wishlist is one list per class, and any character of that class can follow it.

1

Build the class list once

Switch My Wishlist to class scope and rank the items you want on that class. Nothing reads this list directly: it reaches the loot board through your characters.

2

Point your characters at it

Characters following this list in the scope menu shows every character of that class you have claimed, with what following would add or change on each. Tick the ones you want driven by the list.

3

Edit in one place from then on

Change the class list and every follower changes with it. A following character's list-driven rows are read-only, so there is one place to edit and no drift. Anything a character wanted on its own stays exactly as it was.

Cross a Pick Off

Took something close enough and stopped wanting an item? Cross it off.

  • On the You page, click the circle in front of the item on the Loot tab. Undo shows for a few seconds.
  • On My Wishlist, click the double-tick on the pick.

A crossed-off item leaves your officers' loot lists. What you own doesn't change. Still want it, in the item's ⋯ menu, puts it back.

Track Your Goal Across Characters

The Loot tab on the You page tracks your Best in Slot picks across all your characters. Most wanted lists the items more than one of your characters still needs. Open a character to see what it still needs, by boss.

Slots you wear more than one of count that way: four Best in Slot trinkets is a goal of two, not four, because two is all you can wear. A tier token and the piece it becomes are one item to get, not two.

The Your Page guide covers the rest.

Copy a Teammate's Class List

Above the By class comparison, every teammate who has a list for that class is listed: how many picks it has, how many of their characters follow it, and how recently they touched it. View opens it slot by slot.

Copy to my list takes a snapshot into your own class list for that class, and pushes it to any of your characters following it. It is a copy, not a link: the list becomes yours to edit, and the person you copied from can never change your characters afterwards. Their personal notes are left behind.

Import a Droptimizer Sim

1

Paste your report

Paste a Raidbots link (or its report ID) or a QE Live link (or its ID) into the import box and click Fetch Report.

2

Check the preview

Review the character, spec and sim stats that were found, and how many raid and Mythic+ items matched. A banner tells you whether this adds a new import or replaces an existing one for that difficulty, and flags it if the sim looks like the wrong class.

3

Import it

Fix any errors shown in red first, imports are blocked until they're clear, then click Import. Warnings are fine to import through.

Sim at the wrong item level? Your slot says so, like "Run at Hero 4/6, your team sims at Hero 6/6", with a link to re-sim.

Bonus roll targets use your normal sim until you add a Myth 1/6 sim with Import Myth 1/6 sim.

Compare Sims in Sim Lab

Experimental, and off by default. Sim Lab keeps every droptimizer a raider imports instead of one per difficulty, and reads them as a curve: what an item gains at each item level it was simmed at, next to the best thing that raider can farm in Mythic+. An admin turns it on from Settings, then the Loot tab, and a Sim Lab tab appears in Loot, then Team.

1

Paste a few sims per raider

Import the same character at different item levels: vault sims at a couple of crest steps, a Mythic base and 6/6, Mythic+ at the level you farm. Every import stays, so a sim never replaces the one before it.

2

Read a slot for one raider

Slot decision ranks every simmed item for one raider and one slot, at your target item level or as it drops. Each row says from which tier it beats your farmable Mythic+ piece, and how many crests that takes.

3

Read a slot across the team

Council takes one slot across every raider. Whoever simmed an item falls into four bands, biggest gains down to sidegrade or loss, anyone who already farms something as good is marked M+ covers, and an officer can pin a grade over what the numbers say. Open any item for its curve.

Sims from the gear set before this one are kept and dimmed, so a re-gear week does not wipe the comparison.

See Wishlists and Sims In-Game

Everything your team ranks and imports here can show up inside the game when loot actually drops: the RCLootCouncil voting window gains a WowUtils column with each candidate's sim gain, and a tooltip with their wishlist priority, notes, crests, and upgrade progress.

1

Everyone installs the WowUtils addon

A free install from CurseForge, nothing to configure. The addon guide has the link and a two-minute walkthrough.

2

One Owner or Admin runs WowUtils Bridge

The small desktop app that carries the team's wishlists and sims from here into their game. The addon passes the data to everyone else in the guild from there.

3

Loot drops, the numbers are already there

No exports, no pasting. When something drops, the council sees who actually gains from it, straight from the wishlists and sims on this page.

Find the Mythic+ Dungeons Worth Running

1

Choose your lens

Switch between Dungeon board, ranked for your whole guild, and For you, scoped to your own claimed character.

2

Read the dungeon board

Each dungeon is ranked by how much wishlisted gear is still out there for your guild. Items members already have don't count, so the board only shows what's actually still worth farming.

3

Check your own picks

On For you, see your best dungeons ranked by your own wishlist, other members with overlapping wishlist gear to run with, and a warning if a wishlisted item can't drop for your current loot spec.

4

Form a group

Click Form group on a dungeon card to jump to the Keys board and start pulling a group together for it.

This board is powered entirely by wishlists: the more of your team that ranks their Mythic+ gear in My Wishlist, the more useful it gets.

See Who Got What in Loot History

1

Link your guild

Loot History reads your RCLootCouncil awards through your linked Battle.net guild, so link it under Integrations first if you haven't.

2

Export from RCLootCouncil

Export your loot history from the RCLootCouncil addon in-game. The How to export from the addon link in the import dialog walks through it if you need it.

3

Import the export

Paste the JSON or upload the file. The preview shows how many entries are valid, how many are skipped as duplicates or too old, and how many match your current roster, before you confirm Import.

4

Browse the results

Switch between Overview, By Character, By Boss, By Item and Timeline, and narrow it down with Guild only, Alts counted under mains, a Response filter, or a search for an owner or item.

Loot History Overview with the Awarded by council count

The columns are your team's: Columns, in Settings ▸ Loot, holds up to 8, with your own names and colours, in your order. It starts as BiS, MS, OS and Other. Sort responses puts each RCLootCouncil response under one of them or under Not distributed. Personal loot, bonus rolls and disenchants start in Not distributed, so the counts show what the council handed out. By Character lists them under Personal. A response nobody sorted counts in the column marked Catch-all.

The BiS rate card on the Overview counts the columns you switch Rate on for, and takes the Rate name you give it. By Character's Upgrade column is each raider's average % upgrade across their awards, from their own droptimizer as it stood before each award; awards without a sim from before are left out. Value past awards, in Manage loot history, fills it in for awards you imported earlier.

Plan Next Season's Loot

A Season picker appears above the loot tabs when a new season's loot is in the app but has not gone live yet. Switch it and My Wishlist, Group Overview and Droptimizers all show that season's raids, dungeons and tier pieces, so your team can rank next tier's gear before the first night. Item levels and Wowhead tooltips follow the season you picked.

The picker only shows up while two seasons overlap, and it stays off the M+ Loot board and Loot History, which are always about the season you are raiding right now.

Set Your Team's Loot Defaults

Admins only. Every loot setting for your team lives in one place: open Settings, then the Loot tab. Alongside priority names, targetable bosses, Droptimizer standards, Loot History permissions and Sort responses, you set how the loot views open for everyone else. All of it is a starting point members can still change for their own session, except the sources you close off.

1

Pick the sources members open on

Choose which difficulties and Mythic+ a fresh visit lands on: Normal, Heroic, Mythic, Mythic+, or any mix. A member who has not chosen their own sources yet opens on these.

2

Choose which sources members can pick

Turn a source off and members can no longer select it in the loot views. You always keep every source yourself. Leave at least one open, or members keep seeing all of them.

3

Set the starting filters

Set the defaults for hide passed, hide obtained, hide non-upgrades, the sort order, and whether gains show as a percent or a raw number. Members can change any of these for their own session.

4

Pick the season your team is planning

While two seasons overlap, a Season row lets you send everyone's loot views to the season you are preparing for instead of the one that is live. Members can still switch seasons themselves.

5

Turn off the bosses you are not chasing

Untick the bosses your team is not realistically killing yet, and the Targetable filter in the loot views hides their drops. While two seasons overlap, each season keeps its own list, so trimming next tier leaves the season you are raiding untouched.

How ranking and 'got it' badges work

Wishlist ranks run a fixed 1 to 5 scale: Best in Slot, Major Upgrade, Sidegrade, Catalyst Only, and Do not want. There's no free-form ranking, every item lands in one of those five buckets. An admin can rename all five from Settings, then the Loot tab, to whatever your team already says.

Those five names are independent of your loot addon's own response buttons, and nothing needs to match between them. In game the council sees a raider's wishlist rank on the item next to your addon's buttons and still awards with whichever response you normally use, so your addon can keep as many responses as you like. Loot History sorts those responses on its own, under Sort responses in the Loot settings.

An item is marked as already obtained by checking both your current equipped gear and your RCLootCouncil history, whichever source has it. Council awards, personal loot and bonus rolls count; disenchanted items don't. Upgrade numbers on item cards always compare against what you're actually wearing right now, pulled from your roster data.

Wishlist filters and multi-character planning

Hide passed, hide obtained, and hide non-upgrades toggles trim the list down to what still matters. Hide passed and hide obtained are on by default and hide non-upgrades is off, unless your group admin set different starting filters for the team. You can also filter by raid difficulty or Mythic+ as a source, from whichever sources your admin has left open.

If you play more than one character, or a character with more than one viable spec, switch between them from the wishlist header. Each character, and each spec on a multi-spec character, keeps its own ranked list and its own imported sim.

What counts as a valid sim

The import preview checks your report against whatever your group requires for a droptimizer sim to count: fight length, minimum iterations, target count, "Upgrade Equipped Items," the vault socket, fight style, "Optimal Raid Buffs," "No Custom APL," "No Power Infusion," and the Nightly SimC build. Only the checks your group has actually turned on will show up in the requirements list, so a smaller group with looser rules sees a shorter checklist.

Target count is an exact match: with it set to 1, a 2-target sim does not count. With it off, 1-target and 2-target sims sit side by side and you switch between them above the wishlist.

If a difficulty you sim isn't tracked yet, the preview offers to enable that profile for you as part of the import, rather than rejecting the report outright.

Who can see what

Group Overview, Droptimizers, and the M+ Loot board can each be hidden from members who don't have full-team loot visibility. Group admins always see all three regardless of that setting.

Admins can also close specific loot sources to members, a raid difficulty or Mythic+, hiding those from the source picker in every loot view while keeping them for admins.

Loot History needs your Battle.net guild linked before it shows anything. Your admin can limit viewing it to admins, and members with the View Loot History permission (on for the Officer preset) still see it along with Owned Items and Weekly Rewards. Importing starts out admins only, and your admin can open it to every member.

Edit Own Wishlist, on for every preset, is what lets you change your own picks. With it off, your picks, class lists and crossed-off items are locked for the loot council; your spec, boss availability, coins, notes and your own sims stay yours either way.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wishlist a trinket the Dungeon Journal does not list for my spec?
Yes. Every trinket the Dungeon Journal does not list for your spec is offered under an Off-spec trinkets group on the boss or dungeon it drops from, whatever stat it carries. That covers a tank ranking a damage trinket and a Windwalker ranking an Intellect one for their Mistweaver set. Rank one and it joins the normal list with an Off-spec tag.
Do I have to import a droptimizer sim to build a wishlist?
No. You can rank the items you want in My Wishlist with no sim at all. Importing a Raidbots or QE Live report just adds the exact upgrade number to each item card so you can compare gains at a glance.
Can someone else import my droptimizer sim for me?
Yes. A group admin can import a report on your behalf if you have not pasted your own yet, so a wishlist is never blocked on one missing sim.
Why can I not see Group Overview, Droptimizers, or the M+ Loot board?
Your group admin can hide these views from members who do not have full-team loot visibility. Admins always see every view.
Why did my loot views open on sources or filters I did not pick?
Your group admin can set the sources, filters, and sort your loot views open with. It is a starting point: change any of it and your own choice sticks from then on. Admins can also close some sources to members entirely.
I play the same class on several characters. Do I rank everything twice?
No. Build one class wishlist and point each character of that class at it from Characters following this list. Change the class list and every follower changes with it, while anything a character wanted on its own is left alone.
What does crossing a pick off actually do?
It says you took a good enough alternative and stopped wanting the item. It leaves your officers' loot lists and the in-game loot council data. What you own doesn't change. Still want it puts it back.
Why is my goal two trinkets when I ranked four as Best in Slot?
You can only wear two, so the goal counts two. All four stay on the list as candidates; any two of them finish the slot.
Why is Loot History empty or missing for me?
Loot History reads your group's RCLootCouncil exports, so it only appears once your Battle.net guild is linked. Your admin can also limit it to admins; anyone with the View Loot History permission, on for the Officer preset, still sees it.
