Loot Systems
Detailed breakdown of Throney’s two loot distribution systems: DKP Item Listings and DKP Loot Auctions.
Throney offers two robust systems for managing loot in your alliance:
- DKP Item Listings — For simple upgrade/trait/litho bidding via Discord reactions.
- DKP Loot Auctions — For live, DKP-based bidding with automatic deductions.
Both systems are fully integrated with the Throney Dashboard and Discord.
📦 DKP Item Listings (Upgrade / Trait / Litho)
This system lets officers post an item to Discord and have users respond by selecting one of three interest categories:
- 🔺 Upgrade — High-priority gear for your main build.
- 🧬 Trait — Secondary spec or trait-related interest.
- 💎 Litho — Desired for lithograph crafting or exchange.
📌 How to Create a DKP Item Listing
- Go to the Throney Dashboard.
- Navigate to your Alliance Dashboard.
- Under the Item Panel, click Manage Items.
- Hit “Add New Item” and fill out the following:
- Channel – Where the item post will appear in Discord.
- Item – Choose from your guild’s loot list.
- Notes – Optional explanation or rules.
Once submitted, the bot posts the item to Discord with reactions for Upgrade, Trait, and Litho.
🧠 System Behavior
- Once a member reacts, the bot marks them as responded.
- Officers can award the item via the dashboard — the system will:
- Deduct DKP
- Reject all other bidders automatically
You can also use our internal “roll” system to roll the item between the reacted members.
⚠️ Always delete listings from the dashboard — not from Discord — to avoid sync issues.
🏦 DKP Loot Auction System (Live Bidding)
This is a separate, advanced system designed for real-time, competitive bidding.
📌 Features
-
Officers can:
- Set starting bid
- Set bid increment
- Configure the Discord channel
- Define the auction end time (manual or auto)
-
Members can:
- Click Bid in Discord
- Have DKP automatically deducted
- Re-bid as long as they have balance (configurable soon)
⚙️ Staff Tools
- End auction manually from the dashboard
- Delete auction listings (also removes the Discord message)
- Auction visibility & history stored on the dashboard
🕒 Auctions created on the dashboard take ~1-2 minutes to sync to Discord.
❌ Bids cannot yet be retracted or deleted. This is coming in a future update.
