The guy who wrote that script has decided to stop running his server (which hosted that script). If someone wants to write a similar script to retrieve that information then I'll gladly host it on the wiki server (or I may eventually get around to writing a similar script, but it won't be nearly as pretty).

It's sad to hear he stopped his server :(


It does bring up a question I've been meaning to ask. Is there somebody responsible for the monsters loot tables?

I know for a fact that some of the monsters have incomplete drops or are missing drops altogether.

Not that it has to be a high priority but it should probably be documented somewhere to be fixed at a later date at the very least. Drops don't really seem to be something worth spamming the bug forums with either.

If I remember right, Whasf was trying to recruit for someone to take responsibility for accuracy in the database, so if someone took that position, it'd probably fall to them. It's not hard to add missing stuff, though. They look like this:

Code: Select all

INSERT INTO `mob_droplist` VALUES ('1', '2', '1455', '0');
First digit is dropid. You probably won't know what to use unless you have a server running, so don't sweat it.
Second digit is type. Usually 0 for regular drops, and 2 for stolen items. Haven't bothered to figure out 1, 3, or 4 yet. Probably quest drops, and despoil results.
Third is the itemid. You can get this from FFXIAH.com. http://www.ffxiah.com/item/868/pugil-scales
Fourth is the drop rate as an integer percentage, i.e. 15.4% = 15

So if you do go around collecting missing drops, having some of that information ready to go is great. Whoever's adding it should be verifying the data, but it still helps. :)
