Dungeon 3/4 Drop lists

1
Author Content Date
Hello :)

This is probably one for the GM's really unless other people know better.

So in Esoma, its well known that certain mobs apparently or certain spawns for a better term would only drop certain items, and the rest of that mob in the area would not. (So there was not much consistency but for those who knew... would benefit greatly).

So here, that was fixed a long time ago... fantastic, did us all big a big favour there.

But in Dungeon 3 and 4, the armoury makes you think that all Earth Elementals drop (in D3 and D4) some 5 low level M tags but when I talk to people in game, that is only EEs that are spawned from boxes or live in D4. So that means the dedicated (some 20 EE) spawn of earth elementals wont ever, ever drop M tags? Is that right?


I guess I'm just looking for some guidance, not so much knowing everything. I and I guess many others just assumed every monster had a drop file 'inside them' but I'm told the drop lists are drawn in a map or zone... and any mob that spawns in that zone... will use that drop file... that how it works? Either way the armory lies to me, making me think theres one drop file for all EE in D3 and D4... :(

Any clarity would be awesome :)

PS It would be good to know if people get their low level m tags from box spawned mobs or any mob seemingly in D3.

E.g In Esoma, I had a black devil sword-m from the 3 devil warriors by the D4 entrance but again, I suspect that was a special and unique spawn.

The drop files have been combined however when the mob has 2 different maps there is the possibility that one or more of the drops wont be on that map

For example

Dsoma war beast miners on hwan dosnt drop weapons and the conti version dosnt drop helms

But it's 1 mob with 2 maps listed


Not fluent with ee spawn, but if the ee box spawn drop the weaps then the ee on d3 should drop also (if there is any ee on d3 outside the box's)
