What's the 13% from?

0.8^9, which would be the probability of not getting one 9 times in a row at 20% spawn rate.

I just had to redo this page (someone deleted my previous report), but it gave me a chance to remake it as an example of how I think people should do "spawn reports" on the wiki:

https://wiki.project1999.com/Driftwood_Treasure_Chest

P.S. And yes, you read that right: I killed that stupid fish 700 times; I have the chests to prove it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Dayum that's some dedication, even afk farming that's a long time and still semi-involved as that shark can chew you up and he's not alone in the room. Your driftwood sample section is nice but on mobile it is a bit messed up due to the auction tracker taking so much real estate.

I looked it up again and the page with the courier data is actually on the Goblin Gazughi Ring page. That one is also clean, i should crunch the numbers again.

The cleanest example I've seen (could be a bit more minimalist) is the tables Frantz256255 did at the bottom of some mob pages. If everyone did a table it would be chaos but as a tally it pretty complete. A nice table for stuff like the goblin ring submissions would probably be the cleanest way to implement this. Might work on it next time I'm bored at work.

I think a forum admin worked a script to scrape logs for all the drop data as a project for the wiki but not sure what happened to that.

Unfortunately, that section is inside a wiki template, and a table would require using another template ... but our wiki doesn't let you have a template inside a template (in this case, a table inside an "Itembox" template).

Also, different screen sizes can position things differently (eg. on my phone everything looks fine). However, I changed the styling and text a bit, so it should look better now.

Yeah, he was able to use a table because he put it outside of the template, at the bottom of the page. The Driftwood Chest page (or any other) could be redone that way, but it might not look as good at the bottom (and people might miss it).

In theory, I think the best solution would be to add a bunch of new fields to the "Itembox" template, and then if those fields are present have the template add a table itself. It probably wouldn't be that hard (the existing template is very simple) ... but I have other wiki projects at the moment, so I'll leave that as a project for someone else.

I thought I heard about a log parser awhile back, but it was just from a regular player, for personal log parsing. I hadn't heard of any effort to collect people's data for the wiki (although that'd be cool!)
