Advanced Loot System

Quick guide:
•Advanced Looting is enabled by default. You can enable/disable it using /advloot, clicking on the Edit Filters button, and toggling the Use Advanced Looting check box
•/advloot will open the advanced loot window - it will open on its own when things you kill drop items. You can also bind the window to a key or use the EQ button
•The master looter's setting is what determines whether your group or raid uses advanced looting or classic looting
•The master looter's auto-split coin setting will affect coin distribution within your group or raid
•If you are out of range for a kill or out of the zone/dead. You must right click on the corpse to be able to loot items from it. This is signified by a red lock icon overlay. You can make use of the /hidecorpse listed and /hidecorpse listedunlocked to make it easier to do this.
Master Looter designation - You can see the name of the current master looter in your zone at the bottom of the advanced looting window.
For groups - in order

2.Group leader
3.First person in the zone in your group
For raids - in order
1.Designated master looter raid role using the button in the raid window

5.The first person in the zone in your raid

Evidently if you're massing killing, like for tradeskill mats, and you end up with a huge pile of corpses, you can quickly loot ONLY the items you're pharming and not even see crap loot you don't want.

Or so they say...

That would be nice.

I also like how WoW does it. If you have a pile of corpses, the loot window consolidates all the junk and coin in one window.
