Features

• Introducing the new Loot Delver! This allows you to discover loot clustered by instances. Open the instance of your choice and see all the possible loot that can drop there.

Features

• Introducing a new WoW-like Droprate for item tooltips. All items within the game that drop from instances, lootboxes or from mobs are supported. The average droprate is calculated based on all possible drop sources within the game. It doesn't represent a true in-game droprate since it's an aggregation of rates from multiple sources. If an item can be selected from a lootbox, that source is counted as 100%, regardless of how rare it is to obtain this lootbox itself. Other rewards e.g. from quests or deeds are not included in this calculation.

• On item pages you can see all possible loot sources for the item, clustered by multiple requirements like your level or the Class you're playing.

• You can now add Tables.

• Renamed 'Item Builds' to either 'Character Builds' or simply 'Builds' since it's not only about items anymore.
• You can now create a build without any items but with a Trait Tree. That allows you to share only a trait tree without the necessity of creating a whole build.
• Trait Trees can now be viewed on mobile devices (but not edited).
