About LootLore

What this site is

LootLore is an independent gaming guide platform. We publish long-form guides for the parts of games other sites skip — material farming routes with measured yields, character and weapon builds with the actual numbers, progression guides for boss-gated or seasonal content, mechanics explainers for systems the in-game tutorials gloss over, and side-by-side comparison guides for the choices that shape a run.

Coverage currently spans twelve games: ARC Raiders, Path of Exile 2, Monster Hunter Wilds, Warframe, Baldur's Gate 3, Stardew Valley, Crimson Desert, Elden Ring Nightreign, Terraria, Valheim, Palworld, and Project Zomboid. We add new games when search demand justifies dedicated coverage and the existing wiki ecosystem leaves real gaps. Browse the full catalog on the games index.

Editorial ownership

LootLore is written and edited by Z. Li, with research and drafting support from outside contributors. We are not a large newsroom — we deliberately keep scope narrow so every published guide can be verified by a person before it goes live.

LootLore is independent. We have no affiliation with any game developer or publisher, and we do not accept payment in exchange for coverage or favourable rankings. Game names, screenshots, item art, and trademarks belong to their respective owners; we use them under fair-use for informational reporting and reference only.

How we make guides

Every guide on the site starts as a research brief: a topic, primary keyword, search intent, and a list of internal-link targets. We promote a brief into a published article only after the underlying claims have been reviewed against in-game testing, official patch notes, or community sources we trust — see our editorial policy and source policy for the full workflow.

We use AI-assisted drafting in the research and writing phase. We do not publish AI-generated factual claims without a human editor confirming them against a primary source. Sources are cited at the bottom of every article, and patch-sensitive guides carry a “Last verified” date stamp.
