Arc Loot Planner
Every World of Warcraft player knows the feeling: a boss dies, loot drops, and you have seconds to decide whether to roll, pass, or spend a hard-earned bonus coin. You might have run a Raidbots Droptimizer sim earlier in the week, but the numbers are a blur when the loot window pops up. Arc Loot Planner solves this by putting your sim results directly into the game, right where you make the call.
Your Sims, In-Game and On the Spot
Arc Loot Planner for World of Warcraft takes the data from your Raidbots Droptimizer report and integrates it into the Adventure Guide, the loot roll window, and tooltips. Instead of alt-tabbing to a spreadsheet, you see a real DPS value for every boss drop and every bonus roll. The addon works across Retail, Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, and MoP, making it a versatile tool no matter which version of the game you play. It is also compatible with the Arc addon family, including ArcUI, Arc Proc Tracker, and Arc Pings.
Drop Value on the Loot-Bag Line
When you open a boss's loot table in the Adventure Guide, each item shows a DPS value derived from your own sim. That number tells you instantly whether a drop is a minor sidegrade or a major upgrade. The same value appears on the bonus roll line, alongside your drop share and the expected value of spending a coin. You can view these numbers as raw DPS or as a percentage of your simmed DPS, whichever makes more sense to you.
Check Marks for What You Already Own
The addon automatically checks off loot you already have. It scans your equipped gear, bags, and transmog collection, so you never waste time considering an item you already own. You can also click items manually to mark them as owned. Tier tokens are priced based on what they convert into for your spec, so you know exactly what that token is worth before you roll.
Bonus Roll Protection and Planning
One of the standout features of Arc Loot Planner is its bonus roll planner. You can click the coin icon on bosses you want to save coins for, setting your plan per difficulty and per dungeon for Mythic+ (one pool per dungeon). Once you set a plan, every other boss's roll button gets a lock cover. This prevents impulse spends. One click unlocks a boss if you change your mind. On planned bosses, the Pass button gets the guard instead. The addon never rolls or passes for you; it is a speed bump, not a wall.
Roll EV on Every Boss
Each boss displays its roll EV: the expected DPS gain per coin, calculated from your sim and the boss's remaining loot pool. This turns bonus rolling from a gamble into a calculated decision. For players who want a broader view, the Bonus Rolls overview shows the entire raid or all season dungeons, with plan, rolled, and collected states. It also highlights the best coin to spend per boss.
Drops Overview and Loot Roll Window
The Drops tab shows raw drop pricing boss by boss, with your Top 5 upgrades ranked in gold value. This gives you a quick snapshot of where your best chances lie. When a loot roll window opens, the addon adds a badge with the item's DPS value from your sim, priced for the instance you are standing in. You see the number before you click Need or Greed, not after.
A Roll Ledger and Tooltip Notes
Every coin you spend is recorded in a roll ledger, complete with boss, difficulty, and result. If you win an item from a recorded roll, tooltips note that you won it. This history helps you track your luck and your spending over time. Sims are per spec, so you can import separate reports for your DPS, tank, and healing specializations.
How to Install and Get Started
Getting started with Arc Loot Planner is straightforward. First, run a Raidbots Droptimizer for your spec: one for raid drops, one for raid-vault bonus roll pricing, and one for Mythic+ dungeons. Then, type /alp in-game, open the Sims tab, and paste your report link or the data.csv page. You can also import with one click from the WoWUtils addon. To test the addon without risk, type /alp test to raise a harmless bonus roll prompt, or /alp lootroll to preview the roll-window tag.
For those wondering how to install, the process is simple: download Arc Loot Planner from a trusted addon source and place the folder in your Interface/AddOns directory. If you use the foxygame.net launcher, you can find Arc Loot Planner in its addon catalog and install it with a single click, which also handles version compatibility checks across Retail and Classic builds automatically.
