@Paws - This is such a useful idea! I would've really liked to have had this back when I wasn't swimming in all sorts of food that I didn't know what to do with. Especially Seafood. I remember those Waterway days. =/

Just wondering, do you have a site / little program / spreadsheet / whatever that makes it easy to tally up your data? Cause I'd be happy to help with this if there was one, but I'm really lazy to make one myself with so many possible drops.

[EDIT]: Also, how are you handling dated data? (Since the admins remove drops or add drops to zones, etc.) Do you have a preferred method of archiving?

@Paws - Ah yeah, for dated data for the Coli packs it's easier because they always announce the new monsters (and it's hard to not notice new monsters). But for food items, sometimes they do stealth updates and you don't get a notification till much later, as a side note in some announcement, or you may never get it at all. (Especially if it's a change in drop rate rather than a removal or addition of an item.)

I think for this case, you might just want to keep data in batches, like you said, and keep them split up that way with the dates so that you can toss only a portion of data away when there's new stuff. :x

They said "fairy ears" were removed from the cave, but it was actually dwarf shelf fungus. jsyk!
