Tip - Dragon Fin Spikes and Wing Bones

[revloki42]

quick tip for those working fletching, the dragons in field of scale do not have faction hits, respawn fairly quickly and can be solo'd fairly eaisily by a single 105 and drop Dragon Wing Bones and Dragon Fin Spikes quite regularly

Girplan feathers come fairly quick in Korfax, and if you set up in between the first 2 rooms and clear everything you will also get Taelosian rock and Discordian Rock as well as other assorted tradeskill components. for the Dragorn wing bones old bloodfields set up at the taath camp and keep all the dragorn muramites clear, will also get both kinds of rock and a similar assortment of other ts goods. both zones drop some decent augs including a zonewide 35 ac aug

This is exactly why I was hoping a developer would create a plugin that logs everyones loot drops and puts it on a html webserver somewhere for all of us to see. So its much easier to track drop rates. Basically anyone who uses the compile would have their loot drops tracked that way the collection data on drop rates would have a greater accuracy. Magelo does this to some extent but only tracks the first 200 mobs/objects entered into their database that are collected. See this post on the details of my idea:

Thank you I plan on trying this out very soon!

1) How can we donate to you for this work?

2) Could you consider including an option for loading an user defined INI. For example, I might have a loot ini for a rogue to loot poisons, but destroy it in another ini file. Or if I'm questing on a toon in a zone, but not the others I might have one setup for a particular character/zone etc.

3) If you want to go really bold, if the plugin tracked the % drop rate of items from all redguides users.

I'd like to see a plugin that tracks the % drop rate of items, based on how many mobs are killed by people using the compile. A plugin that keeps track of:

a) zone it dropped
b) name of mob
c) mob count (how many times total it has been killed to date)
d) mob level
e) drop % rate of that mob name
f) mob type

Everything updated to a server to keep track in some type of web html format every month.

Similar to what magelo does, but the problem with magelo is it only lists the first 200 mob/object entries that uploaded to it. Collection would happen when you load the compile.

Its just me dreaming on this feature! Why would it be nice? I'll give an example.

Tradeskill usable ore drops of golem type mobs at 2x the drop rate as compared to humanoid or animal type mobs. While Pelts its 2x more frequently of animals vs other types, or silks 2x more frequently of spiders vs other types etc. This was stated by Ngreth many years ago.

So if I'm hunting for Tungsten Ore, I would know which zone and mob has the best drop rate etc. Magelo sorta solves this but the limit is 200 first entries that gets uploaded to the server and how many people actually run the program while they are hunting. So you are missing a lot of infomation on other mobs that could drop it etc and the rate is wrong in alot of the entries since < 1000 of the same type of mobs have been killed. So its inflating the rate on some of the entries showing only 20-30 mobs killed with drop rates showing as high as 75% even though in actuality its like 8%, unless you actually play close attention to those numbers on magelo.
