ScrollingLoot shows each item, money and honor pickup as a short notification with its icon, in a feed you can place anywhere on screen, so you do not have to read the chat log to see what you picked up.
Built for TBC Classic Anniversary and WoW Forever.
On Anniversary, the newer changes (Fast Loot fixes, hover to pause, repeats adding up, static lines sliding into place) have local tests but haven't been tried in game yet.
Not yet tested in group dungeons, raids or battlegrounds. The same download loads on Forever and works in the open world, solo or in a group, and in solo dungeons. Differences from Anniversary:
- Defaults to a compact, static feed with smaller icons and text and a dark background. Every setting can still be changed.
- Pickups are also read from the loot window, so they still appear where the game hides loot chat text from addons. Each pickup is shown once.
- Fast Loot (off by default) uses Forever's own bind-on-pickup prompt instead of the custom dialog.
- The options window is the same as on Anniversary. The game's Options > AddOns > Scrolling Loot entry has a button that opens it.
- Forever's own loot toasts are unchanged. If they overlap with the feed, turn off the game's Show Item Toasts setting.
- Floating notifications - Items scroll upward (or fade in place with Static Mode, where the lines below slide up as one expires), positionable anywhere on screen
- Item icons - Each notification includes the item's icon for quick recognition
- Quality colors - Text is colored by item rarity (grey → white → green → blue → purple → orange)
- Stack counts - Shows quantity for multi-item loots (e.g., "Wool Cloth x5")
- Repeats add up - Looting the same item again while its line is on screen adds to that line instead of opening a new one; gold and honor add up the same way
- No lost lines - When the feed is full, new pickups wait and appear as older lines expire, instead of pushing the oldest line out
- Money notifications - Gold, silver, and copper pickups display with appropriate coin icons
- Honor notifications - Honor point gains display with faction-appropriate PvP icons (Horde/Alliance) and customizable text color
- Fast Loot mode - Takes every item at once and hides the loot window (hold SHIFT to show it). The window still opens when your bags are full and there is an item to take, or when items are left for the master looter
- BoP confirmation (Anniversary) - With Fast Loot on, a Bind-on-Pickup dialog shows the item's icon and name
- Drag-to-position - Drag the preview areas to place the notifications and, on Anniversary, the BoP dialog
- Live preview - Sample notifications show while the options window is open, so changes are visible as you make them
- Quality filter - Hide low-quality items to reduce clutter
- Optional background - Add a subtle dark background behind text for better visibility
- Glow effect - Optional glowing highlight around item icons based on quality threshold
- Hover to pause - Hovering a notification pauses the feed and shows the item's tooltip; clicks pass through to the game world
- Settings - Icon size, font size, scroll speed, fade timing, and more
Type /sloot to open the options panel. Blue highlighted areas appear over the preview elements; drag them to set where the loot notifications (and, on Anniversary, the BoP confirmation dialog) appear.
