Yay.

Tadaa~, I guess this is supposed to be my 'opus magnum'. >_>
Normally I hate posting a topic on more than one forum, but in this case I'm making an exception. The guide's been up for a few weeks already, so some friends already helped me correct several errors. There might still be more though, so please judge this critically' any feedback is welcome.
The guide also contains an 'About' page, with some extra info.

Also, the drop charts have been updated to include the drop-anything rates. I am not planning to make a lot of assumptions about the real drop rates the game uses without any statistical approximations though. In case at some point there will be enough episode 4 excavation data, I will update the rates; but currently I'm not sure if that will ever happen.
Enjoy.

N.B.: I don't usually post topics like this on Ragol, but now I am. People from the other forums helped me a lot as well, but even though it still doesn't contain all the entries I would have wanted to link to in my guide, Ragol's item database really is an invaluable resource.

About a few weeks I think... but a lot had to be done before I could even start on it, so that's why I finished it only recently. In fact, yesterday I sort of rushed it by uploading all of it already, I'd still like to improve the drop charts some more.

Very nice! although some of the pages cant be found, like try clicking the hunter weapons, ep1, hard

[Tycho]

Sorry, the episode and difficulty don't apply to those pages. XD
