I recently started doing some raids using the raid finder feature in Mists of Pandaria.

I discovered that I can get items from boss using two different mechanics :

• Automatically winning an item on the first kill of a boss for the week
• Winning an item after using an Elder Charm of Good Fortune

However, I was wondering :

• Can I loot the same item multiple times accross multiple weeks ?
• Can I get an item I already looted when I use a charm ?

Yes you can, it's perfectly possible that you can win the roll and receive the item, and then use an Elder Charm of Good Fortune and receive the same item again. The 'Bonus Loot' system does not check if you already have the item, only that it is relevant to your currently active spec.

In addition, the loot system in general doesn't check what gear you have, it only checks the gear that is relevant to you, meaning that even without the use of Elder Charms, you could get the same item from the boss every time you are eligible to loot it.

Yes to both, I however have not gotten a an item and then had it again through elder charms yet have had multiples, including through elder charms.
