So back in the original version of the event, no enchantment to use and no timing collection of malice from their mobskills, no trading to a '???' spot on the ground..all you had to do was beat them up. There was just one problem. The loot was a direct drop from the kill. Loot was at that time highly saught after: chocobo stables warp collars.

A free trip to the other cities? in an age with no teleports other than whm spells? SIGN ME THE F UP cried every player server wide. At the moogle all you got was another lv 1 GK with a different delay than the one you started with. nobody cared about that, we wanted those collars!

Now, the armor mobs dropped multiples, so if you solo'd you'd see a bunch of them hit dirt and be lost. But if you partied up, there were usually enough dropped for at least half your party (dropped up to 6, usually 2 to 4 per kill, often 3 - it appeared to be weighted towards the middle numbers). So evertyone was partying up, sometimes alliances of 9 to 12 ppl.

Now as you may know, the

Hand him a mobid+group in Sacrarium with a level range you feel is right and make up an id for the pool.

The drops are 100% either or and handled by script as is pos, no dropid needed.

[12:26 AM] ibm2431: Are there any mnk mobs in the game that do kick attacks?
[12:26 AM] ibm2431: Mandies?
[12:27 AM] ibm2431: At the moment, the only difference between the dual wield mob mod and isH2H is that isH2H generates kick attacks
[12:27 AM] ibm2431: This is probably desirable for isH2H
[12:28 AM] ibm2431: I'm starting to wonder if we want a column at all
[12:28 AM] ibm2431: And instead either:
a) set isH2H properly (using a pool mod for dual wielders who aren't hand to hand because they don't kick)(edited)
[12:29 AM] ibm2431: b) drop isH2H column, and set mods for hand-to-hand (right, left, kick) to whole families (mandies) or pools (monk mobs who actually fight hand-to-hand)
[12:30 AM] TeoTwawki: in retail yes higher levels mobs can "kick" the animation for this varies. in private servers this is not implimented.
[12:31 AM] TeoTwawki: not all monk mobs will kick

9:43 AM] zach2good: Or better yet, in

void AddExperiencePoints(bool expFromRaise, CCharEntity* PChar, CBaseEntity* PMob, uint32 exp, EMobDifficulty mobCheck, bool isexpchain)

where there are already latent checks

[9:44 AM] Teo: forget fiddling with latents. makes more sense to just have a value in play where each KI you just add 30, and then use said value's final result in the exp calc.
