AroundTheWorld

A fast, good-looking dungeon & raid loot browser — every instance, every boss, every drop, in one window.

Overview

AroundTheWorld is a clean, self-contained browser for dungeon and raid loot. Pick an expansion, click an instance, and see every boss with its full loot table — quality-coloured, icon-bordered, labelled by slot and armor type, and annotated with drop rates and your collection status.

It's built API-first: instances, bosses, loot, difficulties, and weekly lockouts all come straight from the in-game Encounter Journal, so the data stays correct every patch with a near-zero memory footprint. The only baked-in data is a small set of entrance coordinates (for waypoints) and a Wowhead-sourced drop-rate table.

Everything in one place — dungeons and raids for every expansion, browsable by tier, with live search.
Rich loot rows — item icon with a rarity border, name, equip slot + armor type, drop rate, "appearance collected" check, and a wishlist star.
Smart filters — by equip slot, by difficulty, your spec only, uncollected appearances only, and wishlist only.
Weekly lockout tracking — per-boss kill markers (✔ / ✘) for the bosses you've cleared this reset, on the matching difficulty.
Wishlist — Alt-click any item to track it; share lists with a friend via import/export strings.
One-click waypoints — a map-pin button drops a TomTom waypoint at the instance entrance (~166 instances supported out of the box).
NDui-style flat skin — pixel borders, soft shadow, and a warm slate/gold theme, with a draggable minimap button.

Installation

Via an addon manager (recommended)

CurseForge — search for AroundTheWorld and install.

Manual

Download the latest release from the Releases page.
Extract the AroundTheWorld folder into World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns.
Restart the game (or /reload if already in-game).

Optional dependency: TomTom — required only for the Set Waypoint button.

Getting Started

Open the browser with the minimap button or /atw.

Command	Description
`/atw`	Open / close the browser
`/atw wishlist`	Open the wishlist import/export dialog
`/atw here`	Print a paste-ready `Coordinates.lua` line for the selected instance at your current position
`/atw export`	Dump every loot itemID (per expansion) to SavedVariables, for the drop-rate scraper

Using the browser

Control	What it does
Expansion dropdown	Choose which expansion's instances to list
Dungeons / Raids	Switch between dungeon and raid lists (remembered per character)
Search box	Filter the instance list by name as you type
Difficulty dropdown	Switch loot/lockouts between Normal / Heroic / Mythic / LFR (raids)
Slot dropdown	Show only loot for a given equip slot
Wishlist toggle	Show only wishlisted loot · right-click for import/export
Uncollected toggle	Show only loot whose transmog appearance you haven't collected
My Spec toggle	Show only loot usable by your current specialization
Boss header	Click to collapse / expand that boss's loot
Loot item	Click to preview, Shift-click to link, Alt-click to wishlist, hover for tooltip
Map-pin (next to the title)	Set a TomTom waypoint at the instance entrance

Each loot row shows a rarity-coloured icon border, slot + armor type (e.g. "Chest, Cloth"), a drop rate when known, a green check if you've already collected the appearance, and a gold star if it's on your wishlist.

Data sources

AroundTheWorld reads almost everything live from the Encounter Journal. Two things the game doesn't expose are sourced externally and shipped as static data files you can regenerate:

Entrance coordinates (Data/Coordinates.lua) — generated from HandyNotes: DungeonLocations via Tools/extract-coords.mjs.
Drop rates (Data/DropRates.lua) — scraped from Wowhead via Tools/scrape-droprates.mjs (run /atw export first, then scrape per expansion).

See the headers of each script in Tools/ for usage.

Thank you all.
