Sure. A reference list is essentially a loot table that isn't specific to one creature. It is shared amongst multiple creatures. A good example would be the crafting recipes in Molten Core - they didn't go through (MOST of the time) and add a tiny chance for each recipe to drop from each boss. They made one reference list with all the recipes in it and then gave THAT a small-ish chance to drop from each boss.

Keira is your friend on this - way easier to understand when you can see it visually.

He doesn't have any loot that is specific to him. Instead, he has four different reference lists in his table. There's a 10% chance for that first one:

There is a 100% chance for something to drop from the other three reference lists. Each one will produce `Rate.Drop.Item.ReferencedAmount` items.

and you'll never see more than one recipe because they're in a Group.
