Suggestion: Monster Drop List

It can be very frustrating trying to figure out what monsters drop certain items, especially with the crusader codex screwed up like it is.

Would there be some way that we could click on a mob and be given information on its drop table?
There are some older, rarer items that drop from specific mobs that can be hard to locate or figure out.
As is, we have to rely on usually out-of-date fan sites that try to keep track of drops, which really stinks.

    Nexon's Customer Support have a template response for this sort of thing.
    I can't find the exact wording at the moment, but it's something along the lines of, "we want our players to explore the game and discover things for themselves".

    But since they did give us the Crusader Codex, which initially did list the correct drops for everything, then that at least should be made to work right, again.
    Either that or flesh out the Monster Collection. It's pretty sad, IMHO, that "collecting" a monster doesn't give you anything but a stamp in the book. It should have an info page like the Codex's.

    In that case, I may attempt some work on a drop database myself.

    The Codex is accurate to an extent. The thing is, some of the drops listed are server-sided, and many of the drops listed are dummies for level-range items (for example, that Red Potion you see listed from high level mobs is actually a dummy drop for potions dropping near a monster's level, and Level 140 Weapon/Armor should be self explanatory). The MapleStory Wikia should be accurate for the drops that are already listed.
