Ka0s Loot History

Ka0s Loot History is a passive loot tracker for World of Warcraft: Midnight. It quietly records every item you pick up and works out where each one came from — a kill, a chest, the mailbox, the auction house, and so on. Open its window any time to browse your full loot history, or switch to the Insights tab to see it broken down by source, value, quality, and more.

Your history is account-wide, so every character adds to and reads from the same log, and it survives reloads and logouts. You pick a minimum quality to record, and anything below it is ignored.

Every item you pick up is filed under a source:

Most items are filed with certainty, straight from what the game reported. When there's no clear signal, the item is still recorded — filed under Other and marked as a best guess rather than dropped. Each row shows whether its source is Certain or Inferred so you can tell the two apart.

What's new in 1.2.0

• Currency capture — Valorstones, crests, and other currencies are now recorded as their own history rows, attributed to the same sources as items (with a Record currency master toggle). Each carries its quality tier — the Name and Quality cells colour like items do — and hovering a row shows the in-game currency tooltip. A dedicated Currency section in Insights breaks them down by type, source, character, and day, and currencies can be blacklisted.
• Insights dashboard overhaul — the analytics view is reorganized into Loot and Currency sections, adds per-character companion charts beside each breakdown, and gets a more distinct source palette with chart legends.
• More loot sources — Bonus Roll, Craft, Roll, and Refund are now attributed and can be muted individually alongside the existing sources.
• Export to AI removed — the AI-report export has been retired. Export to CSV stays, for both the History rows and the Insights summary.

Usage

Install it like any other addon and log in. Recording starts right away — there's nothing to set up. Open the History window by left-clicking the minimap button or typing /lh. Click a column header to sort, use the filter bar to narrow the list, pick a Group by to collapse rows together, and switch to the Insights tab for the analytics view. The filter bar is shared between both tabs, so the same narrowing applies to the table and the charts at once — you always know which slice of your loot you're looking at.

The Export button follows the tab you're on: on History it copies your loot rows out as CSV (everything or just the current filtered view); on Insights it copies the analytics summary as a CSV that mirrors the charts. Both honour the Data Set choice — all data, or just your current filtered view. Don't want an item tracked going forward? Right-click its row and choose Blacklist item — the clicked row stays put (nothing is deleted or hidden), but future loots of that item are skipped. Delete a row from the table if you want it gone.

Slash commands

/lh is the short form; /loothistory does exactly the same thing.

Settings panel

Settings live at Escape → Options → AddOns → Ka0s Loot History (or /lh config). Everything applies to your whole account, and every option can also be changed from chat with /lh get and /lh set. The General page has two groups (below), and Filters and AH Price each get their own page.

Master Controls

• Enable collection — the master on/off switch for recording. Turn it off and nothing new is recorded; your existing history stays, and the window still works.
• Hide minimap button — show or hide the minimap button. Left-click it to open the window, right-click for settings.
• Window scale — resize the History window from 0.6× to 1.6×. Its position and size are remembered separately from this.
• Debug console — show or hide the on-screen debug console. Session-only; resets on reload.

Data Collection

• Minimum quality — only record items at or above this quality (default Common). Raising it never removes items you've already recorded.
• Exclude quest items — skip the temporary items you pick up during quests. On by default; uncheck it to record them too.
• Keep history for — how long to keep records. Older ones are cleared out once per session; choose Always to keep everything (default 30 days).
• Record data from — turn individual sources on or off. Unchecking a source stops it being recorded. Only the sources the addon can actually detect appear here.

AH Price (its own page)

• Enable AH pricing — the master on/off switch for reading prices from Auctionator, TSM, and OribosExchange. Turn it off and every drop's value falls back to its vendor sell price.
• Price Sources — one table listing every price your installed addons can supply. Tick a source to collect its price at loot time and enter it into the ranking; the highest-ranked source you have a price for is the value shown. Reorder ticked sources with the up/down arrows. Each row shows the addon, the price module (with an ⓘ explaining what it means), a ✓/✗ tick, and a status — Collecting data, Not collecting data, or Addon not installed. Ticked sources sort to the top, the ones you don't collect fall below them, and anything whose addon isn't installed drops to the bottom, greyed out.

Filters (its own page)

• Blacklist — items you never want tracked. Add an item by its id (or shift-click an item link into the box). This is point-in-time: once an id is blacklisted, future loots of it are skipped and never recorded, but rows you've already recorded are left exactly where they are — editing the list doesn't touch stored history. Delete a row manually if you want it gone.
• Whitelist — items you always want tracked, even if they'd normally be skipped (below your quality threshold, from a muted source, or a quest item). While an id is whitelisted, every future loot of it is recorded as a normal row, bypassing those gates. Removing the id afterward only stops future loots from bypassing the gates again — rows it already added stay put. Adding an item to one list removes it from the other; an id is never on both.

Auction-house pricing

If you have Auctionator, TSM, or OribosExchange installed, the addon reads an auction price for each item the moment you loot it — whichever of those you have running. You don't need all three; it works with just one, and quietly skips pricing altogether if you have none.

You choose which prices count: Settings ▸ AH Price lists every price your installed addons can supply — for example, TSM's market value versus its region average — in one table. Tick the ones you want (a ticked source is both collected and ranked) and drag them into your preferred order with the up/down arrows; if more than one has a price for the same item, the highest-ranked ticked source wins. Sources you leave unticked, or whose addon isn't installed, drop to the bottom.

Every drop's value, shown throughout the History table and Insights, is simply the higher of its vendor sell price and its auction price — so a valuable item never reads as worth less than what a vendor would pay for it.

How attribution works

Whenever you receive an item, the addon looks at what you were just doing to decide where it came from. Killing a creature, opening a container, turning in a quest, taking mail, trading, buying from a vendor, winning an auction, finishing a Mythic+ run — each of these leaves a signal the addon reads at the moment the loot arrives.

If a signal is there, the item is filed under that source and marked Certain. If nothing tells it where the item came from, the addon files it under Other and marks it Inferred, rather than losing the record. Everything from one loot window is filed under the same source, so a full chest of drops all land together.
