Search odds condensed

Please add your search data to the bottom of this list.

Search odds by location that are quoted elsewhere on the wiki should be deduced from data collated from this list. A collated summary of data by location is at Search odds results. Some charts, analysis, and discussion of the data can be found at Search Odds Condensed (results).

The last complete collation was by fitzcarraldo|^T at 12:09, 10 April 2006 (BST). Another complete collation through 00:01, 1 June 2006 (BST) is being compiled at Search odds results, where composite data will be tallied without commentary or analysis.

This page is for compiling search odds where everything is condensed into a single table. If you are looking for the more conventional search odds tables, see Search odds. Discussion of these two methods is taking place on the talk page, where comments and suggestions are welcomed.

Search template

Use the following code as a template for your entry.

1. Copy the code below.
2. "Edit" the Search data section.
3. Paste the code above the line <!-- ADD NEW DATA ABOVE THIS LINE. -->.
4. Changed each bolded string of text; "Location" and "Class" are especially important. Please abbreviate locations: "b" is for beach, "g" is for grassland, "d0-d10" is for jungle of density 0-10 (to see jungle densities in-game, click on your character's name, "Edit Profile", and turn on "Show density in map block names?" at the bottom of the page), "m" is for mountain paths, "s" is for swampland, and "w" is for water.
5. Insert numbers before each <!--comment tag--> of an item type that you find. (E.g., if all you find is 1 machete, change "<!--machete-->" to "1 <!-- machete-->".) There is no need to insert zeroes for items you didn't find.
6. "Save page".

Search data

Search odds appear to depend on whether or not you are inside the boundaries of a village. Search odds also depend on whether there is a tree/bush in your location. Odds may depend on whether or not you are outside a hut or ruins. Odds are different for Native vs Outsider Village locations. If possible, please include this detailed location information in the Notes column. --Tycho44 05:58, 16 May 2006 (BST)
