How does wow master loot work?

Master Loot is a loot distribution system in World of Warcraft that allows a designated player, known as the Master Looter, to control the distribution of loot among raid members. The Master Looter can assign loot to specific players, ensuring that the best items go to those who need them the most, while also preventing ninja looting, where a player takes an item they don’t need or deserve.

Understanding Master Loot

Master Looter Role

The Master Looter is typically the raid leader or a designated player who has been assigned the role of managing loot distribution. This player has the ability to see a submenu that lists all the groups in the raid, along with the players in each group, making it easy to assign loot to the right players.
