need the gm toolQuote:
The loot tables are always debated. Basically you can tell what loot will drop before the mob is killed (with the GM interface) this means loot is generated from the loot tables before the mob is actually killed. I would say the loot is generated the moment you enter the instance for the first time. Loot is then assigned to each mob. The actual items are then created only once they have been looted to a character.
Loot tables will work something like this:
Loot Table 1
50% Item 1
30% Item 2
20% Item 3
Loot Table 2
50% Item 1
30% Item 2
20% Item 3
Loot Table 3
50% Item 1
30% Item 2
20% Item 3
Faction Loot Table
50% Item 1
30% Item 2
20% Item 3
The Master Loot table will be
100% Loot Table 1
50% Loot Table 2
50% Loot Table 3
100% Faction Loot Table
As you can hopefully see, if you wanted an item in loot table 3 you would have the % chance of that loot table being used then the % chance that that item from that loot table drops. There will always be a faction loot table to differentiate between horde/alliance loot for things like Shammies and Paladins. I hope you can follow that...
