When in a group, players can now right-click their group member's unit frame to bring up the group loot settings window. Group leaders can change the loot settings for gold to be free for all or even split and for items to be free for all, roll or pass, or master looter.

 

The Mine Overseer's Tower

Beware the Tower of the Overseer! For too long, the Mines of the Dying Worlds have been getting picked clean by the Crows. In their hubris, the spirit of the Overseer has awoken once more and shackled the chests that were rightfully her own (before the whole dying thing). If they wish to continue gathering resources for their strongholds, they'll need to establish themselves as the new boss and take the Overseer's keys.

A new capturable parcel is in the world of Crowfall! The Mine Overseer's Tower is a capturable parcel that enables you to grab the Overseer's Keys buff from the top of the tower. With this buff, players will be able to go to the Mines and loot the chests present. Without the buff, these chests can't be accessed and the player will be directed to find the Overseer.
