    Widescan adjustment

    After solo'ing my RNG using GoV I thought of something that would enhance widescan to a level which I deem is not overpowered - yet would aid the use of it and possibly make it more useful.

    Idea is to allow filter options in the widescan menu to:

    a) Filter out particular mob(s). Ie - only display the mobs on widescan that you "Tag" for example - say I want to target Goblin Ambushers and not Goblin Tinkerers - and track these on compass with say a 50 yalm radius. This would allow more use as it currently holds today as tracking down certain mob types in a complicated dungeon can be quite frustrating if using widescan to do this.

    b) Filter out all regular monsters and only show NPC's and those that read "Impossible to gauge." Possibly not at low levels - as this doesn't have much use when EXP'ing - however at higher levels it would simply speed up the process of hunting the still desired - Dark Ixion & Sandworm.

    While I know widescan is not that difficult to use - as NM's appear at the botom of the list most of the time, I believe this would have some degree of an advantage - also assumably not a difficult update to do.

    NPCs have a different coloured blip on the map, and are also at the very bottom of the widescan list. Dark Ixion and Sandworm both appear as the last monster on the widescan list, just above NPCs. I've scanned and claimed ixion enough times to know. I believe most other roaming NMs appear at the end of widescan as well. So all in all I don't see your second point as much of an issue. As far as your first point, a text filter system would be awesome, but I think it'd be far too much trouble to implament.
