FYI:

Exile Hideouts in International show the wrong  drops.

Keade drops the Lionskin, Tigerskin and Dragonskin Wraps.

Shinjuku drops the Widows Gi/Dress.

Hi,

Great work there McBain aka Denolus though you are no longer jacked in, your legacy lives on.

Note to all users, during the move to a new system. Some URL's might not be valid, I wish I could alter the first post to update the URL's, but I've tried to setup redirects so 95% of them should still reditrect to the new location.

So if you all bookmark the new correct URL's it will be better. But if you find a link that doesn't redirect correctly, please let me know. It should at least take you to the site and/or forum index.

Hopefully in the coming weeks I'll be able to update some of the now incorrect information. But this job is always made easier, specially as I don't sub usually, if the general community could supply any mover changes. A screen capture of the change is the ideal, but written down is great.

Thank you all who use the resource. Just remember if you don't put in ... one day they might just go. Looking at the common resources that were available and no longer ... it's a shame.

A mod should be able to edit at your request. I would edit the html to make it an easy highlight/paste for the mod.
