For the new loot system:

I think ... (the script works, but im still figuring out possibilities)

Has anyone noticed if you add defiant based on these scripts you'll sometimes find mobs that are dropping defiant gear that's out of their range? For example, if i only want Elegant Defiant to drop by using this:

...only mobs equal or higher than level 70 should be dropping this. If I start with a clean database and use the above and then use George's Loot Editor to examine the mobs drop tables in BoT, I see random mobs below level 70 with Elegant gear in their drop tables. How can I prevent this so it stays strictly in range of the mobs level?

I noticed that too shiny, I first thought it was a bug. Upon closer inspection it appears that there may be a loottable shared that is getting the same application of the loottable_entry. I havnt found a good fix yet, but i hope this info helps

I wonder if there's some sort of exclusion we can apply to the sql that if any mob tied to a table is lower than the the required range of the defiant gear that it doesn't add any defiant to the table. I'd prefer that option rather than having to clean up all the loot tables.

you'd have to compare the loottable assigned to the mob to any other mob with the assigned loot table.
Someone who knows more about SQL than I would have to help you out, though.

Theorycrafting:
Compare loottable assigned to any mob with all other mobs who have the same loottable
if any of them are lower than X, don't add it, otherwise, add it.

maybe something like this for starters (assuming these are the right table and column names)

I'm not versed well enough to figure this one out; I'm only slightly dangerous with sql. Perhaps you and werebat can put your heads together and figure this one out. Seems like you're on the right path though.

For to me any of the scrips posted in this thread works for me at peqdb 2506 , anyone can make defiant works ??

I try differents scripts and finally i got one wich work with db rev2506 /Cheers !!!! Then i will share with you all.

And this is all folks !!!

what do i edit to increase drop rate? the 10 or something els?

I wanted to remove defiant and the googles brought me here.

So here is what i just ran on my db if anyone wants to remove the chance for these to drop

haven't tested it yet in game but it should work

just thought i should add that while that query will remove defiant drops, theres many more pieces of defiant type gear that still drops, as well as augments, tradeskill items, etc.

Just a warning for those looking to get rid of all out of era stuff like defiant out of their database

shouldent this be 'SET peq.lootdrop_entries.probability = 0' rather than 'SET peq.loottable_entries.probability = 0' ?

Depends. If the defiant is always on its own loot drop you can. Otherwise setting the specific entry to zero makes just that item in the loot drop not get rolled.

This sql will remove all defiant from lootdrops. It also includes the combatant and adept stuff which is pretty much defiant for other slots.

With some of the new DB Fields / Updates the code doesn't match the column count. For anyone having trouble try this structure.

See the 2 highlighted values. This will match up the column count.
