My Loot History
Ever wondered where all your gold actually goes, or how many herbs you picked up during a single week of questing? My Loot History is a World of Warcraft addon that quietly records everything you loot, down to the last copper coin. Weapons, junk, herbs, cloth, grey vendor trash, and raw gold all end up in one tidy database that you can browse whenever curiosity strikes. If you have ever wished for a personal ledger of your adventures, this addon delivers exactly that.
What My Loot History Tracks
The core idea is simple: if it lands in your bags, My Loot History remembers it. Every item you loot is logged with its name, icon, quantity, and the date it dropped. Copper coins count too, which means your gold income is tracked just as carefully as your gear. The only exception is quest rewards and similar scripted handouts, which are ignored by design.
That distinction matters. Quest rewards are not really "loot" in the traditional sense, so the addon keeps your history clean and focused on the open world: mobs, chests, nodes, and everything else you click on while leveling or farming.
Reports, Filters, and Gold Summaries
Open the report window and you get a full breakdown of your loot history. Each entry shows an item icon, its name, how many you gathered, and the date you looted it. A gold summary sits alongside the list, updating live as you adjust your filters.
Speaking of filters, this is where the addon really shines:
- Filter by date or date range: current session, today, yesterday, Wednesday-to-Wednesday, this month, or all time.
- Filter by item quality: Poor, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, or Legendary.
- Toggle an "Exact" quality checkbox to narrow results to a single tier instead of that tier and above.
- Link any item into chat directly from the report for quick sharing with your guild.
Change the date range and the gold summary recalculates instantly. Looted three Hochenblume yesterday and one today? The report shows both entries separately, so you always see the precise history rather than a vague total.
Configuration Options
My Loot History for World of Warcraft is highly configurable, and the settings panel covers the details that matter:
- Show or hide the minimap button.
- Make the report window resizable.
- Display looted dates inside the report.
- Ignore items with a zero sell price.
- Show item IDs and tooltips on mouse hover.
- Add extra tooltip information, such as a "Total gathered" summary.
- Adjust icon size to fit your UI.
Quest items are ignored by default, and that behavior is locked in place to keep your data meaningful.
Extra Tools and Slash Commands
Beyond the main report, the addon includes a few handy extras. You can print debug information, reset the entire database if you want a fresh start, read a short FAQ, and view informative statistics showing how many items you looted, the total quantity gathered, and how many zones those items came from.
Two slash commands handle everyday use: /mlh opens the report, and /mlh config opens the configuration window. That is all you need to remember.
Game Versions and Compatibility
My Loot History supports the major World of Warcraft flavors players actually use, including Retail, Classic, The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria. Whether you are grinding rep in old Azeroth or farming current-tier materials, the addon keeps a consistent record across your characters and sessions.
If you prefer a frictionless setup, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install path that places My Loot History directly into your AddOns folder without any manual file juggling. The launcher also keeps the addon updated automatically, so version compatibility with your specific WoW client is handled for you.
How to Install
Installation is straightforward. Download My Loot History from your preferred addon source, extract the folder, and place it inside the Interface/AddOns directory of your World of Warcraft installation. Restart the client or reload your UI, and the addon is ready. If you use a launcher with an addon catalog, the process is even shorter: search, click, and let it handle the rest.
Final Thoughts
My Loot History turns a chaotic stream of loot into readable, filterable data. It answers questions like "how much gold did I make this week?" and "where did all these herbs come from?" without spreadsheets or guesswork. For players who enjoy tracking progress, planning farms, or simply satisfying their curiosity, it is a small addon with a surprisingly big payoff.
