I wrote a lua script to scrape drop data from Magelo NPC pages. The output is formatted to be pasted into spreadsheets, where I organize it in a way to try and figure out Sony's item tables and get a better idea of drop rates by comparing drop chances between multiple NPCs. It's also a way to preserve data in case Magelo goes offline.

The script requires some lua libraries to execute. I am using a lua distribution called 'Lua with batteries' from luadist.org but unfortunately the website in the last few months expired and a domain squatter took it. If you trust me I put it on my Google Drive, but if you don't want to trust me you can try to find the libraries yourself. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AdG...usp=share_link

I would paste the script in a CODE block here but the forum software is choking on it for some reason. So here's a pastebin link: https://pastebin.com/WXxwL85T
