Seach items by drop rate.

[Spira]

Just wondering if we could get another field added where we can search for items by drop rate %. When I make quests it is hard to search all 450+ mobs for the drop rates I am looking for. Especially when you start getting into higher rate servers, it is harder to determine what is 'rare' for each server.

I think having a drop rate % search will make that easier on people to search for rare items to put in their quests. I haven't seen any site that allows the searching by drop rate, so that would be a unique feature indeed.

Thanks if you can consider adding this.

i am not sure what you mean search item by drop rate, could you give me an example?

you mean you enter a number from 0.01% to 100%, together with the other card/equip/name search ?

i.e.

Search for "card" and "drop rate > 0.01" ?  that would of course give no result without setting the rate modifier xD

hmm ... not to sound mean but by the current database structure and the search setup .. it's not something I would mess with.

We search for item first, and then we compose the drop rate from various monster afterward.  The drop rate is in the mob table which is not part of the search in the beginning.

If you know the eA data table setups, they got item and mob tables separated.  So far all our search functions available only search in the item table.  But drop rate is in the mob table.

Ah I understand. Yeah if your search only allows searching of the item DB then I can understand why.

Example: You enter 0.5% and it would find all the items that have a .5% drop rate (based on the experience you set of course). And maybe able search % ranges like finding all items between 0.5%-1% drop rate. Doing so would give you the item info, as well as who it drops off.

On the other hand, if possible you could just add it to the monster database since that is where the information on item drop rates are stored. Just search all the monsters for any item with the specified drop %.

mmm i dun think it'd work... too many items have the same drop rate >.<

but it does seem kinda... interesting =3
