HowTo: Use EPGP Loot Master | Saturday, July 4, 2009 - 9:46 PM

This guide describes how to use the EPGP Loot Master add-on which automates the distribution of loot with the EPGP system.

About
Before any of these screens work you must first install the EPGP Loot Master add-on which is a requirement to join < Twilight > raids. The add-on makes it very simple to gather all raid members preferences when loot is dropped and presents all the required information to the ML so it can be correctly passed out.

Providing Your Preference
With the add-on installed and the ML set to enable LM the following window will be presented each time some loot drops which contains the details of the loot including its item level and GP cost. You then have 90 seconds to respond with your preference (if you don't respond within this time you will automatically pass), see [Loot Priority] for any clarification around when you may use Need or Greed.

Simply click the relevant button and the message will be passed to the ML (any item which you cannot use will be automatically passed for you and a system message will be put in chat).

Adding A Note About the Loot
If you need to provide more information than a simple need, greed or pass (you do NOT need to provide your current gear as this is automatically done for you) you can click the circular message button to attach a note to your preference and send to the ML;

Make sure you click the Save button BEFORE you click one of the Need, Greed or Pass buttons.

Determining Who Gets The Loot
As each player responds with their preferences you may see the result of their choices presented with a summary table which details in order people who desire the loot (all need's before greed's and using PR to order within those categories) along with the players rank, item level looted, the item level currently in use by the requesting player (along with a link to their item) and any notes that may have sent;

With this information the ML can very easily identify who should get the loot according to current EPGP standings but also who might potentialy gain the most so something may be negotiated with the players.

NOTE: For this to work the ML must have the 'Send outgoing monitor updates' option enabled and you must have the 'Listen for incoming monitor updates' option enabled, both configured int he /lm config menu.
