Note: Mobs that names start with a #. You must include the # in the name for MobsToPull, MobsToIgnore.

try putting # in front of namdrows

I've never understood that business about using a # symbol in the name, but I know it works. I've suspected it's just one more hidden Sony configuration trick. I'm not sure how to detect if it's needed so I always just put the name in the list twice, once with the # and once without.

Aha! I should have known that. Thank you!

 

[One Cool Trick]

In my ini, I don't even use "Mobs to pull" because I've found it to be finicky... that said, I simply "ignore" the mobs that I don't want to pull and found that does that trick always, so far.

Though, maybe the # might encourage me to use MobsToPull because I also was unaware of that "hidden trick" '

Also, I don't understand that "Names that start with a # (does Namdrows actually start with a number?)

this has been a EQ thing for years. all mobs start #namegoeshere_secondnamegoeshhere_00 . maybe something to do with the original programming or smarter people here could answer that.
