Concerning Mob Drops and Monster XP Rates

[Flowersss]

This, Monster Index, is.

Thank you

Waiting period is over, so I've pressed ahead with my scheme.

Mob Drops now has a table of materials for reference.

Wow. I lurve it!

The only thing that I kind of dislike is where it lists the mob individually and lists specific types of green armor that can be dropped. Can we instead just change something like "Litany Armor" to... Level 8 Armor instead? And then in the future, if someone wanted to make an equip encyclopedia, they could make a page called Level 8 Armor or something and put Litany Armor there.

It seems silly to say that a Mushroom drops only a Sun Long Sword when most likely it could drop Sun anything.

Hmm, I want to believe that the drops are based on Level rather than Class. Personal experience however tells me otherwise, so I'm unsure about that.

I think Lv 8 Armor is a better way to have it that Litany Armor... I can't remember many names of those equips.

Sorry. That's what I meant. When I meant Long Sword, I meant.... other weapons of the same level--not like... Sun.... level 60 weapon.

I know what you meant, heh.

My thought is that you know the drops must be green, so the prefix can be omitted. Also, I suspect if it drops a lv xx helmet for one class, it must also drop the lv xx helmets for other classes, so I support the idea of just using a generic term for equipment drops. Take something like Bronze Ring of _____ for example, if it drops one of them, it must also drop the others. It'd be a pain to have all of them recorded...

In the Help:editing article, I made a little note about conformity of edits, perhaps you should pretty it up?

In an article like Mob Drops, comprehensiveness lies not in listing everything possible, but in presenting as much information as possible with the least clutter. Don't you think?

How did you find out the Monster HP?

noone answered u on that .
Well u can find them in MobInfo.shn.
Thats how he found all the unreleased mobs, too, i guess.

@Icy: Ok--will look into when I get home.
@Max: How do we view the Monster Picture files? >.> They were like... DFF files or... something... *can't rememeber*.

DDS, I think. I think the mob "pictures" are just textures, so they just look like a skinned version of whatever you want to see. xD NIF are the mesh files. You meant the pictures with the mob and a black background?


Edit: Yeah, DDS.

[Ralath]

Yeah!

I was going to add them to the FiestaWiki.
