Here is an edited example of the table:

Does that show their standard loot table or things that can get injected upon death as well? (ie, having to have the quest)
Items 39147, 39150, and 39153 are only known to come from Sharlash the Ninthborn (http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=20340), so I'm supposing that the guess that any of the Nthborn can drop this is probably correct. Although, with their long respawn and what must be a miniscule chance to drop, this isn't looking very hopeful for any of us. If a Fallen Shard of Relic or Cape of Echoes drops instead of the belt, I'd probably cry like a little girl.
That command only shows standard. It does not show script injected or global loot.
First of all, thank you very much for the information. Usually devs just ignore these kind of threads, it's nice to see we're not chasing ghosts (though we appear to be chasing a lottery ticket hehe).
I have to say though... OMG. All this time, I thought malachites and peridots were on some rare global loot mod. You mean someone is manually adding these things to half the mobs in the game? I'm pretty sure if there's a mage out there playing wizard with endgame mobs trying to get a malachite to drop instead of gating to pok and paying 1 silver, he kinda deserves to be petless. Then again, he probably did for running out of malachite since a single stack of them lasts like 6 months.
that expansion was right before global loot started being used. Back then it was a table on each NPC.
