So you have placed a mob on your official "farm status" list, but are still spending your valuable time figuring out which one of your precious characters should get the loot. You examine the item and then proceed to flip back and forth between your characters who can use the item and the examine window. All of that takes time that you could be moving to the next mob. If only there were an easier way to distribute loot....

Well now there is an easy way to distribute loot. Introducing BJ Loot Manager, a fully customizable loot management system.
Features:
- Item Database - Pulls item information (ie. Stats, effects, classes that can use the item, etc.) from the item examine window and provides you with easy to use options to categorize and store the information. Adding the number and colors of item adornment slots is available as well.
- Loot Rules Database - Configure rules for each item by telling what archetype, class, or subclass can need or greed on it, as well as, how many times an item should be looted. There are optional overrides on the Options tab to ignore these Loot Rules.
- Character Looted Item Database - Tracks what items have been already looted by each character. Characters will not roll Need on an item that it has previously looted. This helps to spread out the gear to those who truly need it. There is an additional option for you to select a character to act as a Master Looter (ML). ML's will delay making their loot selection until the other characters have made their selections and told the ML what they have decided. If nobody "Needs" the item, the ML will select Need in order to win the item and override the other character's Greed/Decline selections.
- Supports Both Need Before Greed (NBG) and Leader Only Looting (LOL) Methods - Looting of items will be handled automatically by Loot Manager if your EQ2 group options are set to NBG. For LOL, all characters will report back if they Need, Want or Don't Need the item and you can manually assign the item.
