Autoloot

Autoloot was introduced in patch 1.9.0. If a player <Shift>+clicks on a mob, chest, or other container that has items, they will automatically loot all non-bind-on-acquire items. The same method can also be used to automatically skin animals, mine veins, and harvest certain herbs. As of patch 2.0.1, this is configurable as an interface option, allowing autoloot to be the default behavior on right-click, without requiring a shift-right click to loot manually.

Notes

• If the setting is enabled, <Shift>-click would perform the opposite by showing the loot without "autolooting".
  • There is a long standing bug where despite not shift-clicking and the setting being enabled, sometimes the loot window will show up and not auto loot.

Patch changes
