Atlas and AtlasLoot Enhanced

Talk about a package deal. Atlas is an addon that gives you instance maps for every instance in the game, with bosses an important locations marked off. AtlasLoot is an addon to Atlas which gives you loot lists for all the bosses in the instances as well as a ton of item collections that I’ll get into with more detailed. Read on!

World of Warcraft has maps of all the game areas, but not the instances, but thankfully we have the wonderful addon community that comes to the rescue time and again. Atlas has the full package of maps for every instance with all the bosses and key locations marked off. It has a minimap icon, as most of the popular addons have, but you can also open the Atlas window by typing /atlas. When you have opened up Atlas, you have a few basic options, such as having it auto select the instance map when you enter an instance. Atlas is under continous development and was updated with the Wrath of the Lich King instance maps soon after the release of the expansion.

Atlas supports plugins, and comes with 4 plugins out of the box: Battlegrounds, Dungeon locations, Flight points and Outdoor raid bosses. These plugins are fairly self explanatory. Other popular plugins are AtlasQuest – Fan Update and AtlasMajorCities which gives you lists of instance quests and maps of all the major cities. When you open Atlas, you can quickly browse through a list of instances grouped by continent. When you choose an instance, you’ll see the map, as well as information about any level restrictions and a list of the bosses. You will also see if it’s a group instance or a raid instance from the Player Limit field.

AtlasLoot Enhanced is sort of a plugin for Atlas, but can also be used as a stand alone addon. It gives you a list of bosses for each instance and by clicking on the bosses you get a full loot list with drop chance and everything. You can choose if you want the normal or heroic mode for all the dungeons. There are lists for both 5-man instances as well as raid instances. This is not all you get, though, as AtlasLoot has collections of item lists.

  • Faction items - Browse through item rewards for every faction separated into reputation levels.
  • Collections – The different Badge Token rewards, Seasonal reward and much more.
  • PvP items - Browse through all the PvP item rewards that you can purchase. Battleground rewards, Arena rewards and other PvP related items you can buy.
  • Item sets – Get a list of all the item sets available in the game, from the Tier 1 to Tier 6 sets, Crafted Epic sets or Heroic Token awards.
  • Season events – Browse through all the items that are available for each of the seasonal events.

You can CTRL+Left Click on items in to view them in the dressing room on your character and do search for items and instances in the Atlas and AtlasLoot windows. You can even add items to your very own wishlist, to keep track of all the items you want.  All in all these are two top notch addons that work great together so it’s two thumbs up from me!

    Hiya, Stefano.

    When have you have the addon installed, you should see a icon around your minimap that you click on to get the user interface. You can also type /atlasloot to open the windows.
