It will maintain a database over drop-rates (how often and from what mob) for items dropped by mobs - viewable on-screen at mouseover. Also records vendors and books.

Changes since previous version

[added] Vendors for minimap/worldmap/search
[added] Books for minimap/worldmap/search
[changed] LootCount is now optional

The collected information can be viewed in several ways:

Drops

1: When you mouse-over a mob, you can hold down <alt> to display a list of items the mob may drop.
2: When you mouse-over an item, you can press <alt> to display the mobs that drops this item.
Please note: DropCount does NOT come with a pre-built database.

Vendors

1: When you mouse-over a vendor you can hold down <alt> to display a list of items the vendor sells
2: When you mouse-over an item, you can press <ctrl> to display the vendors that sells this item.
3: You can mouse-over a vendor-icon on the minimap or worldmap to display a list of items the vendor sells
4: Type "/lcdc item" plus the item you want to check. You can enter full links, numeric item-IDs, or the item name.
Please note: DropCount does NOT come with a pre-built database.

Books

1: You can mouse-over a book-icon on the minimap or worldmap to display its name
2: Type "/lcdc book" plus the title of the book. If the book is known, a list of location(s) will be displayed.
3: Type "/lcdc book zone" to display a list of all the known books in your current zone.
Please note: DropCount does NOT come with a pre-built database.

Functionality

DropCount is a plug-in for the addon LootCount, and can thus be placed as a LootCount icon/watch. As of version 0.30 it can also be used as a stand-alone add-on. After positioning the plug-in within LootCount (from the LootCount menu) it will show up as a questionmark. You must now drop an item on it, and it will change to the icon of the item you dropped. When you start killing mobs, the icon will update with a percentage-number denoting the dropchance of the item. If you kill only mobs that have 100% drop-chance of the item, the number will be 100. If you kill equal amounts of mobs that drops it 100% and 0% it will show 50, and so on. This number is derived from kills the last 15 minutes.
So if you are grinding for a specific item and this number is low, then you should probably go somewhere else.

Colour coding

In the list of mobs that drops the item, the mobs are colour-coded from red to green. A red mob-name is a mob that you have not killed many of, and the reported drop-rate may be inaccurate. The more mobs you kill, the greener the name gets - and the reported drop-rate will be a lot more accurate.

The data

DropCount does not come with a pre-built database, so when you first install it, it is empty. Start killing mobs, and it will provide information for you quite fast.

Sharing data

If you are in a guild, DropCount will connect to the guild data-channel and immediately start adding kills and loot from other guildes to your database. No more set-up required.

Special items

Normal items are counted on a per-kill basis.
Skinning-drops are counted on a per-skinned basis.
Quest-items are not counted, as the will require you to be on a quest for it to drop. These items will however show up as "Quest" in stead of a percentage.
