Dibs — Master Loot for Classic Era Raids

Dibs is a master-loot tool for Classic Era raids. Everyone calls dibs on the gear they want before the raid, so when an item drops the masterlooter instantly sees who's competing — for fast, fair, drama-free distribution. Because dibs are shared with the group, it works whether you're in an organized guild run or a freshly-formed pug.

In development. This page describes the design; features ship over time.

Call your dibs before the raid

• Every raider builds a wishlist of the gear they want, organized by the dungeon or raid it drops in — so nobody forgets the item they were farming or where it drops.
• Wishlists sync to the group, turning a private note into the shared answer to "when this drops, who actually wants it?"
• Walk into an instance and your list auto-filters to it. Holds non-gear items too (recipes, mats, mounts).
• Win an item and it gets crossed off (strikethrough), not deleted — so you can see your progress, and future drops say "You already won this."

A masterlooter interface that does the work

• See each dropped item and who is competing for it; click Roll to prompt the group (or just the competitors).
• Auto-distribute to the winner when the countdown expires, with automatic tie-breaker rolls.
• Threshold random distribution for low-value drops (absorbs BijouRR), with overrides so valuable BOP mats aren't handed out at random.
• Distribute Later (Gargul-style): auto-loot, whisper the winner to trade, and a buff-bar timer for the 2-hour trade window that fades green → yellow → red.

Know who wants the drop before you roll

• The roll window looks like the Need/Greed prompt you already know — with the item's competitors shown, so you're never guessing whether a drop is relevant.
• Optional Mainspec/Offspec wording, attendance counts (how many times someone lost their wishlisted item), and priority methods like Advantage rolls.

Plan your gear like SixtyUpgrades — in-game

• Open the planner and click a gear slot to see every item that fits it, ranked by EP for your class and spec (community-standard HawsJon weights) — and filtered to what your character can actually use, with armor, weapon, class and faction restrictions all respected.
• Left-click to try an item on. The centre panel updates live with your build's total EP, item level, top stats, and active set bonuses as you swap pieces in and out.
• Enchant your pieces too. Pick an enchant per slot and its stats fold into your totals — and your currently-worn enchants are read straight off your gear, so the numbers match your character sheet.
• Save loadouts as templates (Prebis, Phase 5, BiS…) and switch between them — then add anything you want to your dibs with one click.
• Filter to upgrades only or hide two-handers, and hover any item for its full tooltip.

Works for pugs

Dibs and roll state sync over party, raid, or guild — no shared guild or spreadsheet required — so it's useful whether you're running with a set roster or a pug that just came together.

Requirements

• World of Warcraft Classic Era.
• Dependencies install automatically on CurseForge (Ace3, LibItemDB, ProfessionDB, DeltaSync, AceCommQueue, VersionCheck, GuildRoster, LibLocaleOverride, LibAceGUIWidgets); manual installers must add them too.
• Optional: ClassicCalendar — enables tagging your dibs to scheduled raid events.

Recent Updates

v0.1.2 — accurate stats, enchants & per-character wishlists

• Stats that match your character sheet. Hit %, all five resistances, mana regen, attack power, crit, and DPS now line up with the paperdoll — including the hit from your head/leg enchants.
• Enchants, done right. Pick an enchant per slot and see it fold into your totals; your currently-worn enchants (and weapon scopes) are read straight off your gear via ProfessionDB, so nothing is missed.
• A wishlist per character — and see all your alts. Every toon keeps its own list, and a character picker lets you view and plan any alt's list from one place.
• Tag dibs to a raid night. With ClassicCalendar installed, filter your list to a scheduled event and tag items to it.

v0.1.0 — initial build (in development)

• The gear planner. A SixtyUpgrades-style loadout builder — click a slot, see every item that fits it ranked by EP for your class and spec, try pieces on (and enchant them), and watch your build's total EP, item level, top stats, and set bonuses update live. Save loadouts as named templates and switch between them.
• Only what you can actually use. The planner filters to your character's real gear — armor, weapon, class, and faction restrictions all respected.
• Wishlists organized by the raid or dungeon an item drops in — add straight from the planner with one click.
• The window. A movable, resizable frame with Planner and Wishlist tabs that remembers its size, position, open tab, and scroll position — plus a minimap button.
• Under the hood. The group-sync and version-check scaffold that will share your dibs with the raid is wired and ready for the sync layer.

Full developer notes are in the addon's CHANGELOG.md (ships with the addon).
