Tracking loot received?

[emosaurusrex]

I'm trying to track loot received while my program prospects ore for me to determine how many necklaces/rings I can craft etc. I was assuming that chat buffer would contain Received loot and I could just track it as it went, however, after mucking around with it realized I was wrong. Tried looking through the list of offsets to see if I could find something relevant and didn't notice.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The best way is to get total count of items in your inventory after prospecting ore, that needed you for crafting.
For example, you got 120 gems after prospecting task and for crafting 1 necklace you need 2 gems, so 120 / 2 = 60, so you can create 60 necklaces, isnt it?

[emosaurusrex]

I mean, I need to know the specific gems produced. (ie carnelian, jasper, etc)

Correct me if I'm wrong but is there a way to call a function in the game and have it return at a static offset? :x (I'm really, really new to this)
If not I don't really think I could cycle through inventory to see how many of which were produced, but if I do recall there is a way to track what you loot (whether it be through chat frame or loot window).

I appreciate the idea but making an addon to do this is a last resort due to clunkiness. :/

Nobody is suggesting you make an addon.

Either call the engine functions to run Lua code and pull out the data you need, or reverse engineer the relevant Lua APIs to find the underlying engine calls and/or static data which it operates on.

Oh, so I can read LUA returned values.
Thanks everyone, I think that gives me enough of a hint to figure it out from here.

Just to beat everyone else's response to you;
