do the dbc files have any information about loot or is that information that has to be gathered from interaction with retail servers?

in fact, is the sql database even populated from dbc files or is it just a mountain of people putting in data from wowhead or what have you over the years?

dbcs dont hold all data most of the tables that are not ended with _dbc were manually populated over years

i just physically recoiled at the thought of that, holy shit. so in the event that drops are missing, it's a matter of going to the mangos wotlk-db and raising an issue or opening a PR with the relevant changes

it's not a matter of chance, assuming wowhead is an acceptable reference; there are 36 entries for an item id in `creature_loot_template` and 42 creatures listed as dropping it on wowhead, so i should just get the name and id for the missing creatures and put it in an issue, right?
