:Rare mice are those which are encountered less than 1 of 100 times. If Fairy is encountered 0.8%, it would qualify. What is the source of your statistic? It seemed like I encountered it more often, although I could hardly catch it. -- [[User:Camomiletea|Camomiletea]] 04:50, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

:::Wow, that's a lot of hard work to get back to the original numbers in the code. I'm going to be doing an update at some point, when I do, would it be a lot easier for me just to pull out any populations under 1% and put up a list somewhere? If so, how would we like to deal with changing cheeses in a location, for example, if using RB in the cats it's very rare to encounter a vampire, but if you use ancient, you get a lot more of them. -- [[User:Twentypence|Twentypence]] 03:51, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Splintered Wood

Treants may drop Splintered Wood in this location too. I haven't seen it myself, but apparently some people think they got a piece [1]. -- Camomiletea 22:10, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Fairy Mouse

How is it determined which mice are rarely encountered? Should the fairly mouse be considered rarely encountered since it appears only 0.8% of the time? -- Ralphminer 04:05, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Rare mice are those which are encountered less than 1 of 100 times. If Fairy is encountered 0.8%, it would qualify. What is the source of your statistic? It seemed like I encountered it more often, although I could hardly catch it. -- Camomiletea 04:50, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
