Defiant Gear in Global Loot

[Fridgecritter]

I see this table in the database and I'm wondering what the extra fields are for in the pinked out area on the right. Can anyone tell me what you'd use those for? Class balancing? If casters aren't getting a fair shake, you enable defiant for casters only in there?

Also, does that mean you can make defiant drop only in certain zones, like ToV or Kael? I think everyone agrees Defiant armor is OP for new players, but if it could be enabled for certain harder zones only, with a single entry into the database, that's cool!

I believe you are correct about zone limits. Null means all, zone IDs separated by commas for specific.

[Fridgecritter]

I’m gonna toy with the fields and see if it works. That’s pretty cool.

I wonder what the rest of the fields like “rare” and “raid” are for.

So that means pipe separated btw.

[Fridgecritter]

Pipe is the | key correct? So just the numbers of zones like this?

1|2|3|4|5

I see in the code some cool Dev decided someone might want to know how to pass arguments to this. Looking at the code you can tell what it wants. Very cool. Thanks joligario.
