Anyone who has hunted around the world has most likely noticed that some loots are just not balanced. This is no ones fault and this is why beta is in place but a few corrections need to be made.
I have spent the last few days collecting information and averaging out the amount of loot everything drops. I would bet that I missed a few monsters here and there but I think I covered a large majority of it. I have posted a chart from the database I made at http://www.geocities.com/master_tabion/loot.html and hopefully this will help everyone pinpoint the issues at hand.
A few mentionable fixes that need to be made (in my opinion) are:
Titans dropping about 100-150 gold too much
Ogre Lords dropping about 400 too little (they are harder then dragons)
Vampires drop about 100 too much
Vampire Lords drop about 200 too little (in comparison to vampires)
Altegeas drops half what it should (also much harder then a dragon)
Ettin Lords loot is good but should be made a bit tougher
Wyverns drop about 100 too little
Scorpion Queen needs to drop about 800 gold instead of its average 50ish
Those are just some of the imbalances I have noticed. Hopefully everyone can use this information to contribute to corrections if they feel that any are needed. I know there are a few things that drop too much and can be abused, like the titans since they can be provoked easily, and this is why I went to the trouble. Everyone states that the economy is ruined or needs fixing and I feel this may help.
The figures in my chart are averaged out, normally based on 5-10 kills and rounded to the nearest 10th, but if anyone sees any incorrect data please let me know so it can be corrected. Also, if there are any monsters I failed to add please name them so I can collect data on them. I have also collected additional drop information that may be added at a later date if I see people actually wanting to see a correction or helping to solve any imbalances.
