Here's the deal, Nightsmear. You know that info on Thottbot or Wowhead that tells you what a mob drops and how often? That only gets there by people telling those sites what they've found and on what mobs. You don't know what a mob will drop until you kill it and open it up. The loot table isn't even queried yet until it dies. Even Thottbot and Wowhead - with all of the submissions they get about loot info - isn't 100% accurate, as it depends *only* on what people report that they see.

So, you're either going to have to go with a mod that you build the database on your own, or a mod where you have to import other people's databases. MobMap does the importing for you, but it's still dependent on players reporting what they find (I don't know if the author takes that data himself, or if he mines a website for it).

Perhaps you just missed the MobMap suggestion above. Just remember that it will never be 100% accurate. Close - sure.
