    Lightbulb Make guild renown the first item picked up by "Loot All"

    Please move guild renown to the top of the treasure list, or make "Loot All" start from the bottom of the treasure list.

    The reason is quite simple: when short on inventory, it requires unnecessary deletion of an item to pick up from a chest. For example, say your backpack has one empty square of inventory, and the chest contains two items that don't go into bags, say a quarterstaff and a heroic deeds. If you pick up the heroic deeds first, then it goes into the empty square and disappears, adding to your guild renown, and you are then free to pick up the quarterstaff. However, if you pick up the quarterstaff first, then you must now delete an item from your inventory before you are able to pick up the heroic deeds. Unfortunately, pressing "Loot All" will always pick up the quarterstaff first, preventing you from picking up the heroic deeds.

    Regardless of how many empty squares in your backpack you try to maintain, and thus how many quests you can complete before going back to town, this issue is almost always encountered, since typically you find out you are full for the first time when pressing "Loot All". At least that is my experience.

    /signed. It's an unnecessary hassle, as if DDO didn't have enough other inventory problems.

    I always thought there should be one 'phantom' inventory square players can't see, that things like guild renown go into, so that even if your inventory is full, you can loot it.

    Agreed, a single overflow slot would be very nice and not overpowering as a lot of suggestions seem to be.

    Agree.
    I tried to create a signature with just my toon names on my main server and the list was too big to fit in the signature box. 45 toons on Orien. 250 total (as of 1/8/21).

    I like this idea.

    It is just too bad that there isn't a no-inventory space needed approach for these.

    Exactly this - much cleaner than the suggestion in the OP.

    Also, give us loot filters to ignore
    - arrows, bolts
    - kits
    - gems
    - scrolls
    etc.

    Having most of what I loot be annoying trash is not fun. I would much rather have far less loot but of higher quality so I actually look at it.

    Remove all items from loot tables that can be purchased from vendors - add a bit more coin to conpensate.
    Reduce the number of random loot dropping but up the quality.

    Make loot about quality not quantity. If chests dropped 1-2 good items rather than 5-10 trash items it would be better imho.
