atm, until someone spends some time to repair the collectors, the only way to collect information from live is the good old fashioned 'watch to find the spawn point/ mobs/times in a zone' way.
Easy enough said as done in safe zones, but the rough and tumble zones will pretty much require you to go hunting there for a long long period of time.
(Until you are uncomfortably familiar with a zone down to small details). yes, Angelox.. I had you in mind when I said that.
Oh and btw.. You really should grab Angelox's dbase. It's very well done
(a combo of Cavedude's unending energy and Ang's precise touch) and he updates so often than some times you barely get one in when you have to grab the next one.
(ok, not really.. but you get the idea)
