Way back in my Everquest days, I was really fascinated by a program called ShowEQ (never used it, did not want to risk my accounts being banned).

From screenshots and posts, you would have a window which would show every mob in the zone, their position, health, mana, loot etc.

I also remember a screenshot of Sony having putting in non-interactive mobs, named ShowEQUsersSuck. Pretty funny stuff.



Chances are good, the loot table is set at the time the mob spawns.
