There is quite a lot of people asking for a droprate fix or adding mithril to later maps like Mutant Forest so here is something for you. I have included a modified file for Mutant Forest and i will explain what i have done so you can fix or modify other files for yourself.

Replace your /etc/cabal/Data/Data_World/world9-terrain.scp with this one.

Explanation

Open /etc/cabal/Data/Data_World/world9-terrain.scp and find this section:
Code:
[CommDrop]	TerrainIdx	ItemKind	ItemOpt	DropRate	MinLv	MaxLv	Group	MaxDropCnt	OptPoolIdx	DurationIdx
0	0	416	0	.00000190000000000	110	200	0	0	0	0
Here is what i changed it to:
Code:
[CommDrop]	TerrainIdx	ItemKind	ItemOpt	DropRate	MinLv	MaxLv	Group	MaxDropCnt	OptPoolIdx	DurationIdx
0	0	416	0	.99000190000000000	1	200	0	0	0	0
The more observant among you will notice i changed the MinLv and DropRate columns. The Droprate column is obvious and has been bumped... a little bit.


If you look at the original MinLv and MaxLv columns you will see that this item (EoG+7) will only drop for level 110-200 players and if you look through your original file you will see that many of the items in MF actually don't drop for the very high level players, most stop dropping at level 137-163. That's why your uber level guys are not getting anything but alz. I have changed all of the items in the file to drop between levels 1 and 200 to make it a bit more fair.

Also, to make things a little more interesting, i have added a few things at the bottom of the [CommDrop] section:
Code:
212	0	1159	0	.99250000000000000	1	200	0	0	0	0

When you do your cabal pserver you can change it in your folder to edit droprate.
