    So I am after a little bit of help with handling loot if possible.

    I box between 24 and 30 but will increase to 42.

    What I do at the min is loot everything to sell on my main toon, my tank.

    If I then have an item that is an upgrade i decide what character it is an upgrade for, scroll through my EQ windows tiles on the bottom of my pc to find the right screen for the character to loot it on and then loot the item and put it into the correct slot etc.

    Is there an easier way to do all this? I was with Fiirst last night doing grummus and bertox etc and all of his toons where saying like numbers and items etc. since then I have looked at mq2autoloot, I will read up properly when I get home from work later! is this what I want to be looking at though? is that the best thing?

    any links, tips or help greatly appreciated!

    just set your loot status either on or off in each toons ini turn it on they will auto loot and if its no drop they will just link it

    Wish someone would share how we can have chars link everything on the corpse and loot nothing ( other then keeping the chars inventory full )

    If you set items to "Skip" in the loot settings.ini, they still link it. Just set everything to Skip.

    Made the change to all bards looters above. Also, if you use mq2bardswap ... DO NOT loot with your bard.

    I use mq2bardswap and had issues with /exchange and /swap because they put everything on the cursor as part of the swap. I now use /bandolier as my switching agent. It bypasses the cursor when switching insruments. So far I haven't lost an instrument since switching to bandolier.

    I'll have to try it but I've been around long enough and lost so many items with the bandolier over the years i still dont have any confidence in it.

    So Chance helped me set up the bat file and it worked a treat, although one window did crash but I just re ran it etc.

    I was running through POK and POT with no lag issues really, onl thing I did notice was if I used stick a few of the toons ran the wrong way before running to me, but swapping to follow made that a lot easier.

    I guess i could probably load in a good few more characters but I will stick with 36 for now, start gearing and AAing them and then if we get any double exp time I will probably level another 12-18 then :)

    Also Chances E3 guide is a massive help, I am very early on with it but still like a selos melody is already helping loads!

    This code was copied from trpling's post here
    This is a fantastic loot event. Just target the mob and /lootitem botname itemname
    Where "itemname" is a piece of the items name. For instance let's say you kill a pofire mini and an Elemental Gauntlet Mold and an Elemental Vambraces Mold drop. Don't use "Elemental" or "Mold" as your item name, but use something like "guant" or "vamb" to loot that specific item. The bot runs over and loots the correct piece.

    As for bardswap, I use banolier as it does not use the mouse step (it's crazy to have it actually go from inv to mouse to equip rather than just inv to equip) and I've never lost anything. If you do lose anything just camp to char select and come back. The added benefit here is that you never need to edit your bardswap ini files, only the bandolier in game. It is insane not so use bardswap once you get items like singing mods or Ikk2 horn. If you have those items and are not using bardswap you are seriously gimping your raid force.

    Code:
    #EVENT lootItem "<#1#> Loot Item #2# #3# #4# #5#"
    #EVENT lootItem "<#1#> Loot Item #2# #3# #4#"
    |pass charname corpseID and itemID and it will move to a corpse to loot the item you gave it
    SUB EVENT_lootItem(line, ChatSender, corpseID, charName, itemName, equipSlot)
       |only the person whose name we passed will do this
       /declare full_item_name local
       /if (!${Me.CleanName.Equal[${charName}]}) /RETURN
          |check the distance
       /if (!${Bool[${Spawn[corpseID].Distance.Int} < 100]}) { /RETURN
          |move to the corpse
          /target ID ${corpseID}
          /delay 7
          /squelch /stick 10
          /delay 5s
          /squelch /stick off
          /click rightclick target
          /delay 1s
          |check if window open
          /if (${Corpse.Open}) {
             /if (${Me.FreeInventory}) {
                |Gets the full item name
                /varset full_item_name ${Corpse.Item[${itemName}]}
                /if (${Corpse.Item[${itemName}].Lore} && ${FindItemCount[${Corpse.Item[${itemName}]}]}) {
                   /docommand ${ChatToggle} Item is Lore ${Corpse.Item[${itemName}]}
                   /return
                } else {
                   /itemnotify ${Corpse.Item[${full_item_name}].InvSlot} leftmouseup
                   /delay 5
                   |used for debug
                   /if (${Corpse.Item[${itemName}].NoDrop}) {

                   }
                   /notify LootWnd LW_DoneButton leftmouseup
                   /delay 5
                   /if (${Select[${equipSlot},charm,leftear,head,face,rightear,neck,shoulder,arms,back,leftwrist,rightwrist,ranged,hands,mainhand,offhand,leftfinger,rightfinger,chest,legs,feet,waist,powersource,ammo]}) {
                      /autoinventory
                      /delay 2s
                      /call SwapItem "${full_item_name}" ${equipSlot}

    Do you use /bandolier in conjunction with /BardSwap?
