Get your linkshell running

From signing in to attendance that nobody disputes, in five steps. No spreadsheets, no separate accounts to juggle.

What Lootryx is

Lootryx keeps one honest record for your whole linkshell: who showed up, what DKP each member earned and spent, which loot went where, and when the next NM window opens. Everyone checks the same numbers, so attendance and loot stop being an argument.

You reach that record three ways, all sharing one database, so they never disagree:

  • The web app, the full board: roster, standings, sealed auctions, the gil vault, and live windows.
  • The Discord bot, standings and events right in your server.
  • The in-game addon for Windower 4 and Ashita v4, Party Finder, recruitment, DKP, auctions, HNM windows and attendance through a window inside FFXI.
Built for FFXI linkshells

Every feature, every member, every night, one shared record for attendance, DKP, and loot that the whole shell can trust, purpose-built for the way FFXI linkshells actually run.

  1. Create your linkshell

    Go to lootryx.com and sign in with Discord, then create a shell. You become its leader, the one role that can change settings and hand out permissions. Give it a name and a short tag for its web address, choose who can see it, and the whole group has a home. You can rename it or change its visibility later in settings.

  2. Invite your members

    From your roster, share an invite link or code. Members sign in with Discord and join in a couple of clicks, with no separate account to make. Give people roles (officer, member, trial) so the right hands can start check-in, run auctions, and manage the bank.

  3. Connect the Discord bot

    The Lootryx bot answers from your shell’s data, so what you see in Discord matches the website exactly. Once it is in your server, anyone can run /standings, /events, /auctions, and the rest. Members link their Discord account just by signing into lootryx.com with Discord, and that link is what lets their RSVP button taps count.

    The full command list, and how RSVP differs from attendance, is on the Discord bot page.

    Self-serve, leader only

    Any shell leader can add the bot and bind it from their linkshell's Settings, no developer or support request needed. Not the leader? Ask them to run it, it takes under a minute.

  4. Connect the in-game addon

    The addon reads your alliance’s party list in game and reports who was present, so attendance is caught live instead of typed up after midnight. Download it from GitHub (Windower 4 or Ashita v4), then open My Characters in the web app, get a setup code, then run //lootryx setup <code> in Windower or /lootryx setup <code> in Ashita. That one command fetches your credentials and links the character you are on; there is no file to edit and no second step.

    It is optional for your members. Anyone who skips it can confirm attendance with a check-in PIN, and an officer can add their character from the roster so captures by other members' addons count for them.

    The step-by-step install and connect walkthrough is on the in-game addon page.

    No in-game actions, and open to inspection

    The addon reads party names and reports them. Explicit actions can also update your local macro files or prepare a Tell, Invite or Kick in the local chat input. You review and send prepared chat yourself. It never moves, targets, casts, submits game commands or injects packets. The addon guide describes its local writes and optional background reporting in full.

    Its source is public, so you or a GM can read every line before loading it. Phoenix staff reviewed the addon and approved it for use. We do not speak for any other server's staff.

  5. Run your first event

    Schedule an event and post it with the bot or on the web. Members RSVP, which records who intends to come, not who showed. When you gather, an officer starts check-in on the event, and presence is confirmed live by the addon, a check-in PIN, or an approved screenshot. Award DKP from that verified presence, and your first night is on the books, with a record the whole shell can check.
