Why can't we see the exact amount of scales Zulrah drops?

[Respire1337]

On our drop table, Zulrah scales are marked as 1 in quantity and always in rarity. This is a wrong display, as it should show us the lowest and the highest amounts of scales it can drop ( for example, instead of 1 it should be 100-250 , or whatever it can drop ).

Also, I have seen people get 5000 scales as a drop from Zulrah, why isn't that shown as a separate drop?

Because it's interpreted by the code, going outside regular droptable interpretation. Not too sure how we'd show it on the droptable either, since it's essentially just that one Zulrah scale that's being multiplied.

I think he just wants it to be displayed exactly the way he said it, e.g.:

Code: Select all

Zulrah's scales    1-5000    Always

So basically just a placeholder value that is representative of the result generated by the code. It would require some modifications to the drop config and wiki drops list generation code but it's doable. (albeit not very worthwhile to complicate things for this one edge case)
