::::::I'm a little confused about the Venom Spider example. It looks like (in its present version: [http://wiki.projectgorgon.com/w/index.php?title=Venom_Spider&oldid=93718]) that all the versions of the spider are producing the same loot. Why are the items that all the spiders drop in the zone-specific sections? I was envisioning only items that one zone's spider drops but another zone's doesn't would go in that part. Could you explain your plan? --[[User:Alleryn|Alleryn]] ([[User talk:Alleryn|talk]]) 14:16, 9 August 2021 (EDT)
:::::::Hi Alleryn, I haven't been able to go through and verify what specific equipment drops from each variant of the spiders, so I just copy/pasted it and can update as time goes by. For example, I'm 99% certain the Serbule Crypt variant drops Comfortable versions of the ancient gear at a higher percentage rate than the Anagoge variant. Having separated loot tables eventually allows for percentage rates to be added based on player log files. I could clear out the equipment sections if you'd prefer then go back and verify what equipment drops that way. With all the loot tables being blended together, the options are to leave them all the same for the specific variants of monsters and update / delete items as things are figured out. The other option is to erase it all and add back items as chat logs are examined. Or ideally, get that automatic system working at some point. Venom spiders are probably a bit closer in loot tables than some of the other monsters, but I had to start somewhere. [[User:Ransel|Ransel]] ([[User talk:Ransel|talk]]) 15:09, 9 August 2021 (EDT)
::::::::Ah, okay. Have you found people who have volunteered to contribute chat logs/data? I guess i feel like if we don't know if we'll get around to data collection it might be better to leave things without multiple copies of the same info until data starts rolling in. Maybe just start separating out sections for monsters you've verified have differing loot per zone?
::::::::I guess my feeling is it would make more sense to collect the data first outside of the wiki and then once we know what we're dealing with then we could make the formatting change, but i suppose if you want to put the work in, it's ok by me. --[[User:Alleryn|Alleryn]] ([[User talk:Alleryn|talk]]) 15:48, 9 August 2021 (EDT)
