Daily workflow (5.1)
Sidebar Tools → Chestcounter for the full page. Need control while Autocrypter runs elsewhere? Open the chest mini tool window from the top action bar — same start/stop, same calibration, optional always-on-top.
The chest counter is mutually exclusive with AutoCrypting and Epic Attack — by design. One mouse, one automation at a time.
Region on the banner, not the desktop
Crop tight to the chest nameplate. HUD animation outside the banner is noise; a focused region keeps OCR stable when the rest of the UI moves.
Match in-game labels
Confirm From / Source text in the live log matches what you read manually. Language pack changes mean recalibration — not guessing.
CSV for events that matter
Export per session on long marches and alliance events. Spreadsheets beat memory when you compare drop rates across days or accounts.
When counts look wrong
Check user_data/chest_counter.log (see docs). After a game patch, verify the region still overlaps the banner — layout shifts are the usual culprit.
