Path segments like Dungeon/ in roles as a danger signal.

Path segments like Dungeon/ in roles as a danger signal. This Sphere Signal is written against HySphere's live extract (~3,219 items, ~975 creatures, ~2,109 recipes) so the workflow stays tied to real catalog pages.

Creature records keep a path string from the dump.

How to use HySphere for this

HySphere currently tracks 975 creature roles and 345 with non-empty drop tables. Empty Loot tabs (630 roles) are intentional gaps in the dump — not UI bugs.

Work item → Dropped by → creature Loot percent → Health check before you invest durability. For weapons, compare quality, item level, durability, and damage range side by side.

Numbers from the current extract

Hostile-tagged roles: 311. Roles with loot rows: 345.

Step-by-step checklist

Run this list once, then keep the relevant catalog filters pinned.

  • Open the bestiary or item catalog from the links below
  • Enable Has known drops when farming
  • Read weight percents on the Loot tab (weights are relative)
  • Compare creature Health to your weapon damage range
  • Re-verify after every HySphere data deploy

Pitfalls to avoid

Most wasted hours come from skipping one of these.

  • Do not invent loot for empty DropList files
  • Do not treat a single weight number as a flat percent
  • Do not skip hostility/family cues when building routes
  • Do not trust outdated wiki screenshots over live cards

Verify on live catalogs

Open the linked tools after every patch week. Sphere Signals are editorial; numbers live on item, creature, and recipe cards.

Frequently asked questions

How do I see drop chances?

Open a creature Loot tab — HySphere converts relative weights into percents for that creature's pool.

Why is loot empty?

About 630 roles have empty drop files. Use Has known drops.

Should I start from items or creatures?

Start from Items → Dropped by when you know the reagent; use the bestiary when exploring a family.

How do I compare weapons?

Line up quality, item level, durability, and damage range — then check craft cost.

Are hostility labels official?

They are inferred from authored paths/templates for planning; confirm in-world.

Where is the DPS tool?

Under Tools → DPS / loadout for paper-doll style comparison.

Does this guide replace the bestiary?

No — use it as a workflow. The Bestiary stays the live source of truth for numbers.
