Drop Finder — Overview
What is Drop Finder?
Section titled “What is Drop Finder?”Drop Finder answers the question: “What should I farm next?”
You select a content source (a raid, dungeon, world bosses, etc.), and the app simulates every item that could drop for your class and spec against your current gear. The results tell you which bosses to prioritize and which drops would be the biggest upgrades.
When to Use Drop Finder
Section titled “When to Use Drop Finder”- You want to know which raid bosses to prioritize each week
- You’re deciding which Mythic+ dungeon to farm
- You want to see if world boss loot is worth pursuing
- You’re planning your weekly vault strategy (which key levels to push)
How It Works
Section titled “How It Works”- Paste your SimC export — the app loads your character and current gear
- Select a content source — a raid, dungeon, world bosses, etc.
- Pick a difficulty — raid difficulty, keystone level, or other options
- Configure options — upgrade level, gems, vault socket, catalyst items
- Click Run — the app sims every potential drop as a single-swap against your baseline
- Review results — two views: Boss/Dungeon Summary (which boss to target) and Item Ranking (which items are the biggest upgrades)
Key Concepts
Section titled “Key Concepts”Single-Swap Simulation
Section titled “Single-Swap Simulation”Unlike Sim Gear (which tests combinations of multiple items), Drop Finder swaps one item at a time. Each potential drop is simulated independently against your currently equipped baseline. This keeps the simulation fast — a typical run has 20–80 profilesets.
Enchant & Gem Inheritance
Section titled “Enchant & Gem Inheritance”- Enchants are copied from whatever you currently have equipped in that slot
- Gems are copied from your current neck or first ring
This means you don’t need to configure enchants/gems separately for Drop Finder.
Rings & Trinkets in Both Slots
Section titled “Rings & Trinkets in Both Slots”Rings are automatically tried in both finger1 and finger2. Trinkets are tried in both trinket1 and trinket2. The app respects the Unique-Equipped constraint — it won’t sim a trinket in slot 2 if the same item is already in slot 1.
Drop Finder vs Sim Gear
Section titled “Drop Finder vs Sim Gear”| Drop Finder | Sim Gear | |
|---|---|---|
| Question | ”What should I farm next?" | "What’s my best gear setup?” |
| Items | Every drop from a content source | Items you select manually |
| Sim type | Single-swap (one item at a time) | Combinatorial (all permutations) |
| Typical run | 20–80 profilesets | 10–1,000 combinations |
| Use case | Planning what to farm | Optimizing current gear |
