Lolz so i added the lvl 145 weapons to the drops.

But their are dropping lvl 1 weapons o.0.

What did i wrong there?


Here the original line of a deathland monster:

3980,Sebiant,1,18,145,221116,0,1412,2018,20,70,2,1 5,0,0,5,25,25,4.5,5,0,1,Sebiant,ÀÛ¼ºÁß,1993566,124 80,18535,28000,1,1,1,86,86,76,76,2,20,3,3051,3390, 58,137,4,2400,3000001,819,39,0,0,0,0,0,0,2880,3389 ,58,137,4,2800,3000001,819,45,0,0,0,0,0,0,3051,339 0,58,137,4,9600,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,6,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,6,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,6,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,6,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,421,45,516,32,5000,60,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,137,1,137,25 ,137,10,510,200,423,40,421,1,475,16,0,0,1


Ehm the underlined items are the drops,+ drop rate right?
These numbers DONT exist at my itemetc,itemweapon,itemarmor!?
Even if i delete all values to 0, and give then in for example 2540, 100
(twinblink, lvl 145, drop rate 100)
It will drop me a lvl 1 summoner sword!?

The indexes in the monster.csv are not item indexes to a particular item, they are indexes to and itemset, which can be found in itemset.csv. There you can set the individual item indexes.

So if a mob has this as one of it's drops "347,200", the 347 is the itemset index in the itemset.csv file and the 200 is the drop rate. You must then either go to itemset and modify the items listed on the line starting with 347, or create a new itemset with the items you want and then change the 347 in the monster file to the new itemset index you made.

Ok, thanks.

There i can give in also ' normal drop, magic drop, noble drop, divine noble drop'

What i need to give in there if i want ONLY divine noble item drops for example?

if i take >item id<,0,0,0,100

then its dropping nothing, and <itemid>,100,0,0,100

are normal items!?

lol thanks. Nah, I just post in my spare time. I will give Dark a tip though.

I've not found a way to guarantee a divine drop but here's something you can do to drastically increase your chances of noble and divine drops.

The relic (3725) is used in game to drop 130 weapons with a higher rate of noble and divine. It's usually used by GMs during events. The itemset it uses is (726). What you can do is copy the line in itemset that starts with 726 and paste it at the bottom of the file and assign it a new number like 5004. Then change the 130 weapon indexes in that line with the ones you want. I used the 145 weapons on my test server.

Then go to the monster.csv file and either pick a relic or a few mobs that you want to drop these items and change any existing itemsets with the 5004 one you made above. I added mine to a relic and also to a few mobs in the deathland map. I made the mobs I chose only drop this set by blanking out any existing sets with "0,0" and adding "5004,100000" once to the line. You may want to play with the droprate depending on how often you want these items to drop. Mine is a test server so I let them drop all over the place. It still takes a while to get the particular weapon you want but I get noble and divine drops left and right from this method.

You can also do this with armor sets by copying the itemset "728".

Which monster.csv & itemset.csv should i edit? is it the one in the
server/share/monster/monster.csv or the one in the client? or is there any more monster & itemset csv's? i've tried editing the
Spider Larva from 700,1200 to 726,1200 then i've tried killing some spider larva, i still get the same items as before and dbmon error says canno't find item: :Flyweight 40001 and tried this one too 5004,100000 and i've added the line from 726 index and changed to 5004 index in the itemset.csv it still have the same error.

Please help...

You definitely want to edit the server side files, but I do the client also just to keep things tidy. The monster.csv you want to edit is in /share/creature/monster.csv.

If you edited the item indexes in set 726 or the 5004 you made, double-check that you edited the right fields and also double-check that the indexes are correct and exist in your itemweapon file (if they are the 145 weapon indexes) on both the server and the client.

Also if you edited these while the server was running, restart it. Other than that, it sounds like you did all the right things.
