A compact Retail loot helper for tradeable Mythic+ and raid gear.
Do You Need It? helps you spot group gear drops that may actually be worth asking for, compare the drop against what the looter has equipped, and send a polite whisper only when you choose to.
It is built for World of Warcraft Retail / Midnight 12.1.0 and is intentionally quiet: no giant loot wall, no automatic spam by default, and no currency/reagent clutter.
/dyni scan can cache party gear before a dungeon or raid so comparisons still help when live inspect is throttled or delayed.| View | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Askable | Gear the addon currently considers worth asking about and usable by your character. |
| All Gear | Every visible gear drop, useful for reviewing what dropped after a boss or chest. |
| History | Current rows, saved session drops, and recent boss/run groups. |
| Settings | Auto whisper, delay, custom message, language, font, and font size. |
Non-gear drops are filtered out of the askable flow: currencies, reagents, recipes, consumables, quest items, and other loot that is not useful for this decision.
Auto-whisper is off by default.
If you enable it, Do You Need It? uses your configured delay and custom message template. Manual Ask buttons remain available, and pending automatic sends are cancelled when you ask manually first, clear current rows, or turn auto-whisper off.
Example custom whisper text:
Hey, do you need {item}? It would be an upgrade for me./dyni toggle the loot window
/dyni settings open settings
/dyni scan pre-scan nearby group members for equipped gear
/dyni test add local sample rows for UI testing
/dyni auto on enable delayed auto-whisper
/dyni auto off disable auto-whisper
/dyni delay <seconds> set auto-whisper delay, clamped to 3-30 seconds
/dyni clear clear current live/session rows, keeping saved history
/dyni history cycle the history view
/dyni status print current settings, build, and layout
/dyni debug on save recent loot-processing diagnostics
/dyni diag print newest diagnostic entriesEquipped-item comparison depends on Blizzard's normal inspection rules: range, combat state, throttling, item cache timing, and whether the target can be inspected at that moment.
Do You Need It? handles that by:
For best results, run /dyni scan before a dungeon or raid pull.
The settings window supports language, font, and font-size controls with live hover previews. Auto follows your WoW client locale.
Language options currently exposed in settings:
enUS)deDE)esES, esMX)frFR)itIT)ptBR)ruRU)koKR)zhCN)zhTW)Localization note: English and Russian have the most complete addon-specific text today. Other locale options cover the core settings labels and safely fall back to English for addon-specific labels that have not been manually reviewed yet.
Font selection uses LibSharedMedia when available, plus Blizzard font fallbacks. If a selected font cannot draw a player name, Do You Need It? falls back to Arial Narrow for that name so Cyrillic characters stay readable.
