Version History
1.2.0 — Stable. Full zone-aware footlocker coverage from spreadsheet data (Battered, Waterlogged, Mossy, Dented). Multi-variant footlockers now use the game's own "Locked" text colour to determine which variant is present, showing a single accurate line instead of multiple. Added Scarlet Footlocker (Eastern Plaguelands, 250). All dungeon door skill requirements corrected. Added Deadmines and Dire Maul doors.
1.1.0 — Zone-aware skill requirements for Battered Footlocker. Corrected all item IDs against wowhead.com/classic. Tooltip now shows Pickable/Skill Level Too Low in green/red.
1.0.0 — Initial stable release. Full coverage of vanilla lockboxes, junkboxes, and dungeon/outdoor chests.
Known Limitations
- Item and world object coverage is still being tested — some entries may have incorrect skill requirements or missing entries.
- OctoWoW-specific lockable items and objects have not yet been added and will be included in a future update.
