This is a browseable, searchable in-game item database, with the caveat that it starts out empty. It automatically adds item information that it picks from a number of different places: your character's inventory, other characters' inventories whenever you target them, links in chat, items in your bank, etc.

This is a browseable, searchable in-game item database, with the caveat that it starts out empty. It automatically adds item information that it picks from a number of different places: your character's inventory, other characters' inventories whenever you target them, links in chat, items in your bank, etc. LootLink will also color the links in loot messages with the correct rarity color, if the item is in its database. To browse or search, you'll need to use /lootlink (or /ll) to toggle the LootLink window or bind a key to the Toggle LootLink binding. I use NumPad /, but you can use whatever you want. Once you toggle the window open, you can sort the items by a number of different criteria, can scroll through the list and see tooltips for each of the items, and can insert a link to an item into chat by shift-left clicking it in the list. You can use the Refresh button to refresh the window (new items aren't automatically added to the window, though they're in the database, to prevent additions from becoming too confusing when the list is sorted). Finally, the Search button will bring up a dialog box that lets you specify all sorts of criteria or reset the current search parameters to the default. The search options are quite powerful, letting you find things like all rare rings that modify intellect and have level requirements between 10 and 40 or all shields with armor more than 200, block more than 20 and a level requirement of no more than 50.

Use /ll help or /lootlink help to get a list of commands.

New:
- LootLink now scans other player's inventory on mouseover of that player.

Recent changes:
- LootLink should no longer add a substantial amount of time to loading screens. Thanks to Quendari for noticing that UNIT_INVENTORY_CHANGED was the culprit for this problem.
- Fixed a bug that was preventing searches for plate mail.
- The LootLink windows can now be shown while dead.
- LootLink no longer recolors loot messages, since the game now colors these correctly.
- Ctrl left clicking items in the browse window will allow you to preview that item in the dressing room.
- As a consequence of this change, I've made Shift-Ctrl-right click the combination to remove items from the database.
- Items with an empty name will no longer be added to the database.
- Loot messages are now parsed for new items.
- Items without color can be added to the database; they'll initially show up with a blue-green color.
- If an existing item is later seen from a non-chat source, its color and data will be updated.
- Internally, use the tonumber function to try to do a better job of handling numbers in a format that doesn't match the system locale.
- Performed a significant rework to avoid disconnects while browsing or searching your local database. Note that you will still be disconnected if you send a chat link to an item that hasn't been seen on the server since it was last restarted.
- LootLink now uses the new GetItemInfo client function to determine whether it's safe to ask for a tooltip for an item. If it's not guaranteed to be safe, LootLink constructs a tooltip for the item from its own cached data.
- Tooltip cache data is rebuilt whenever a valid link is processed, to avoid stale data issues.
- Added support for searching for legendary and binds on use items.
- The full tooltip is now scanned and parsed. Before, only the first fifteen lines of the tooltip were being handled.
