    Lightbulb Loot Browser

    Is there a chance the Loot Browser could return in the foreseeable future?

    Would really come in handy for the (new) Dune maps, every map actually. Was such a great feature, I think many agree!

    should be brought back, yes. but i think its a bit trickier than we think. once the loot browser is back, i think the next logical step would be to display odds of items dropping. cuz obviously some may outright seem hoaxes. like for example - i always heard that the lvl16 arcane chest dropped in elite dead city and ran that map for quite a bit but never once found it. i used to check auc back then (circa 2015) continuosly, either for the chest for the lvl16 arcane items, still nada. so at one point i legit thought that was a hoax lol. until recently when i legit saw a video on youtube of someone actually looting it.

    another example - i used to run maus all the time 2021/2022, and up until as recently as late 2025, didnt even know corvis and voriyana dropped the undying husk, or balanced scales, etc. these things weren't just mythical in rarity, to me they actually were in reality too lol.

    i imagine similar instances may happen with others as well - you see it drops, you run the map hundreds of times, and yet nothing to show for. too much hassle overall. though the feature is good, i doubt it'll be implemented.

    I've tried. Getting it to work the way you would want/expect without a lot of manual effort is not possible. Each minion/miniboss/boss/chest can change what they drop based on your level, what elixirs you have enabled, what events are enabled, etc. The only time we know exactly what a mob will drop is at the moment we roll for loot. Any other time of viewing possible loot is inaccurate (as players pointed out when the loot browser initially launched and some dungeons were showing drops for Ursoth's Assault).

    Now we could go dungeon by dungeon picking out the rarest or most sought after items, limit event item viewing to the event being active, etc., but even that is difficult because a single dungeon has the option of dropping thousands of distinct items and like I said earlier, it's not possible without a lot of manual effort.

    Is it possible to filter out items that require special conditions like you mentioned event being active, specific elixir is worn etc and show only items that can be looted any time?

    Or maybe limit browser to display only items that drop off boss and/or are rare i.e. have a weight less than some threshold.

    If neither works, maybe consider manually curated browser for new content and update old maps when you have time/willingnes.
