Then I start to make the named mobs ; I get their stats from whats posted at allakhazam, and looking at what other mobs in the zone are and what they do.

Edit;
If you do decide to work on a zone, tell us which zone, so we can choose another or you make sure no one else is already building it.
thanks for the tips!

All I was really looking for was a head start from the packet collections. I really didn't want to have to manually input all the mobs in the zone. I actually did get eqextractor to work, i can some info out of a pf file and put it into a text file. however I'm not sure how helpful it will be since most of the files I was looking at are actually text files and not pf files. I just happened to click the pf file, so I thought they were all pf files. Anyway hopefully i can start on getting some zone going tonight.

btw happy birthday!
