Reward Pot
Reward Pot is a second loot mode for a profile. Instead of showing loot points, the raid window shows Attendance for each profile member and the current gold in a shared Reward Pot.
Only the profile owner can switch a profile between Point Based and Reward Pot. Switching modes hides the unused counter without wiping it. Loot points earned in Point Based remain stored while Reward Pot is active, and Attendance remains stored while Point Based is active.
Attendance
The Loot Helper window title shows Attendance. The Points column is hidden so the remaining glance columns can use the space. Each profile member's row still shows BiS usage and an equipment-readiness warning only when something is known to be missing. The roster Att.% and Prep.% columns are temporarily hidden. Reward Pot Attendance points are not shown as a roster column; admins change them under Loot Helper → Character. Loot Logs still record those adjustments.
Profile admins can raise or lower Attendance points one at a time from that Character page. Decreasing Attendance points at zero does nothing. Attendance points never go below zero. They are not the (currently hidden) roster Att.% glance metric.
Raid Check awards 1 Attendance to each prepared profile member who is in the raid. A player below an enabled minimum item level is Unprepared and does not receive that award. Presence history still credits them for being in the raid even while the Att.% column is hidden. Pre-Raid Check never changes Attendance.
The pot
The current pot is the starting amount plus every logged add and subtract. It never goes below zero.
The raid window displays the current pot above the roster. It does not include editors. Profile admins add or subtract gold, and set the starting amount, under Loot Helper → Profile.
Gold amounts use WoW's gold, silver, and copper coins.
Raid Check deductions
When Raid Check finds any evaluated profile member Unprepared, it subtracts from the pot once for that click. Inspection Failed does not count as Unprepared and does not deduct.
The deduction can be:
- a flat gold amount; or
- a percent of the current pot at the moment you run the check.
A percent that does not land on a whole copper amount is rounded down. The log stores the gold amount that was actually subtracted, not a live percent. Later pot changes do not rewrite that earlier deduction.
Example: a 10% deduction from a 500,000 gold pot records a 50,000 gold subtraction. Adding 1,000 gold afterward leaves 451,000 gold, not 501,000 gold.
If the configured amount is larger than the current pot, only the remaining gold is removed. A deduction of zero is skipped.
Never-inspectable players count as Unprepared. Inspection Failed (attempted inspect, incomplete or timed out) does not award Attendance and does not trigger the pot deduction.
Running Raid Check more than once can award Attendance and deduct from the pot again. Use Loot Logs if you need to correct an extra run.
Settings
Open Loot Helper → Profile while Reward Pot is active to:
- see the current pot;
- set the starting pot;
- choose a flat or percent Raid Check deduction;
- add or subtract gold.
Points Per Raid Check is hidden in this mode because Raid Check awards Attendance instead.
