Perfect Encyclopia (are the mobs listed ingame?)

Been wondering in how much this in-game encyclopedia is of help.

I prefer using the perfect database base but not all mobs listed have coordinates.
This probably has to do with those mobs not being in game (yet).

Then again take this "Lesser Grimalkin" mob. Both the in-game and web-based database tell you the drops. I would assume as this mob IS listed in the encyclopedia it would exist in the current patched PWI. (I have yet to find it...)

So my question is: if a mob is listed in the Perfect Encyclopedia does it exist in-game?
To assume I speak for other is assuming I am those folks.
Well, I can tell you right now: I am all but myself.

    I do not use the encyclopedia so I wouldn't know. I don't know how it's coded either, but the chances are there's potential for the mobs to not exist. Their coding probably exists, as well as where they are supposed to be and what they drop, but that doesn't mean they've been implemented in the game. However, will all necessary coding there that details where they should be, their level and whatever else have you it probably ends up in the encyclopedia anyway.

    Not that I actually know, that's just my thoughts.

    If it doesn't have co-ordinates then it exists only in-sofar as a GM could decide to spawn one, perhaps for an event.

    Hmm, I see...

    Bummer of sorts. as it happens that the "Lesser Grimalkin" is a better dropper of Dull Claws if I am to believe the web-based info.

    (wonders if they kept it out to make the L30 DQ-quest even more difficult...)

    it is possible that the name just isnt correct maybe they put the right info in just didnt change the name or it could be from one of the other versions of pw then again this is just speculation

    Yeah, sorta figured as much..

    Maybe I am too practical about things. Practical imho would be useful.
    Having a in-game database that lacks consistency is like fashion to me.

    Total fluff b:chuckle


    Thanks for the answers so far.

    From just what i have learned playing around with the encyclopedia, it doesnt give you the coords but you can auto path there by clicking on the mobs name which shows green. I hope this helps :D
