Tedious!!!

Someone please tell me there is a better/easier way to add loot to a whole zone of mobs than one by one....I started just using George's NPC Loot editor to edit one by one mobs by looking them up on Alla and then searching for the item ID...WOW that takes a long time...any help? I am working on putting loot on all OoW mobs right now....so tired!!! thanks

try using the PEQ Item Editor, located at the peq site (projecteq.net)


you can alternatively learn the database structure and use a sql query to update all said mobs with all loot you want them to have. mysql.com to learn about UPDATE INTO/REPLACE INTO and the syntax.

I just make a list of loot for the zone using Alla's or raidloot.com and then make loot tables. The only ones you have to do mob by mob are mainly the named that you want to have different loot tables.

If you have a bunch of trash mobs in the zone and you want them all to have the same loot, just make 1 loot table that you want for them and copy and paste that loot table ID down the line of mobs in that zone. I think adding loot is one of the easier things to making a custom server hehe. Takes a little time, but I can normally do it in an hour or so.

The next version comming soon will have the ability to propogate fields across a search list, so if you search for you npc's in a zone and want to add a common drop to all, you'll be able to do so easily.

This was by request , a feature I think is good to have

I'll let you know when it's ready for prime time...
