Bag O' Goods - Smart Loot System for Eluna

An intelligent loot bag system for AzerothCore. This script queries your database in real-time to find the best gear suited for a player's current level, class, and active stat priority.

Introduction

Instead of using static loot tables that require manual updating, this script "senses" the player's needs. It detects if a player is a Caster, Tank, or DPS and scales the item rewards based on their current average item level.

Requirements

• AzerothCore (AC)
• Eluna Lua Engine (ALE) module installed and enabled
• Access to the acore_world database

Installation

1. Setup the Database: I have provided a specific SQL query below. You must run this in your acore_world database to ensure the bag item exists and functions correctly.
2. Script Installation: Copy BagOGoods.lua into your server's lua_scripts folder.
3. Reload: Restart your server or type .reload eluna in-game.

Configuration Options

The top of the BagOGoods.lua file contains a configuration table. Below is a detailed breakdown of how these settings affect the loot logic:

Loot Quality & Types

• MIN_QUALITY / MAX_QUALITY: Restricts the search results by rarity. Setting both to 4 will ensure players only ever receive Epics.
• ENABLE_WEAPONS / ENABLE_ARMOR: Toggles entire categories. If your server already has a weapon progression system, you can set weapons to false to keep the bag armor-only.

Scaling Logic (The Power Curve)

• USE_AVG_ILVL_BOOST: When enabled, the script calculates the average ItemLevel of every piece of gear the player is currently wearing.
• ILVL_MULTIPLIER: Determines the "upgrade" potential. A value of 1.15 tells the script to look for gear that is 15% stronger than what the player currently has.
• MAX_ILEVEL_CAP: Acts as a safety ceiling. No matter how high a player's gear is, the bag will never drop an item above this ItemLevel (e.g., 264 for ICC-level gear).

Variety & Logic

• LEVEL_RANGE: Defines the "Level" window. At level 80 with a range of 10, the bag looks for gear requiring levels 70 through 80.
• RANDOM_POOL_SIZE: To prevent every player from getting the exact same "best" item, the script finds the top X items that fit the criteria and picks one at random. Increase this for more variety, or set it to 1 for a "Best in Slot" style reward.

Filtering & Debugging

• ALLOW_RESILIENCE: If set to false, the script checks all 10 stat slots on an item. If any of them contain Resilience, the item is skipped. This effectively turns the bag into a "PvE-Only" reward.
• ENABLE_CHAT_COMMAND: When enabled, any player (or admin) can type bagtest to trigger the loot logic. It is recommended to set this to false before your server goes live to prevent players from spamming it.

Testing

If ENABLE_CHAT_COMMAND is set to true, type 'bagtest' in the in-game chat to simulate a loot drop based on your current stats without needing the physical item.

Optional: Smaller Bag o' Goods (Questing Tier)

The SmallBagOGoods.lua script provides a secondary, lower-tier loot system designed for the leveling experience. Unlike the main bag, this is awarded automatically through questing rather than dungeons
