"coinpurse" items: 2192251158 (eg)

There are a lot of them appearing in the data feed for items.  What, exactly, are they?

Example is <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">item 2192251158

 

Coinpurses are items that you never actually see in-game in EQ2. It is a random amount of coin from a minimum to a maximum that you get for looting the corpse or chest of an enemy. They've been published to Census in preparation for loot data.

The data on some of these is pretty straightforward. For example this data:

Code:

<typeinfo name="coinpurse" perplayer="0">
<coin_list>
<coin max="4892" min="6912" type_id="0" type_name="copper"/>
</coin_list>
</typeinfo>

would indicate that between <span style="color: #999999;">48 silver, <span style="color: #ff9900;">92 copper and <span style="color: #999999;">69 silver, <span style="color: #ff9900;">12 copper will be split between the group.

However on other coinpurses, the data is nuts:

Code:

<typeinfo name="coinpurse" perplayer="1">
<coin_list>
<coin max="261" min="239" type_id="2" type_name="gold"/>
<coin max="7187" min="6418" type_id="1" type_name="silver"/>
<coin max="66" min="59" type_id="0" type_name="copper"/>
</coin_list>
</typeinfo>

The above data would indicate a minimum of (59 copper + 18 silver + 64 gold + 39 gold + 2 plat) or <span style="color: #c0c0c0;">3p <span style="color: #ff6600;">3g <span style="color: #999999;">18s <span style="color: #ff9900;">59c and a maximum of (66 copper + 87 silver + 71 gold + 61 gold + 2 plat) or <span style="color: #c0c0c0;">3p <span style="color: #ff6600;">32g <span style="color: #999999;">87s <span style="color: #ff9900;">66c is granted to EACH player present.

EQ2U supports these items.

 

Thanks!  I'll add them too.  When I saw 1-2 of them in the DB, I figured they were some sort of info leak, but if they are real, well...  might as well add them.
