Thanks Chaos. I think I found the problem with Navicat--It seems you actually have to log out completely and restart the world before the changes take place in the Items table. It works differently for the npctypes table, which allows you just to repop the zone to see changes to the characters.

What I'm really looking for though is some kind of tutorial that shows me how to edit the loot tables. I have found these tutorials for creating factions (which involves editing three tables), but have not found one for editing the loot tables. I need something that shows the relationship between the four loot tables, what goes where, and in just what order I edit them. I assume the loot editors do all this for you, but I cannot get any of them to work on my computer.
