There needs to be an in-game Bestiary with drop lists

[NegativeS]

Alright give 5 examples of MMOs that have a bestiary like this. Bonus points if you have any examples that were first released before 2.0 did, double bonus points if it was before 1.0.

I don't think this 'gotcha' of yours reduces the validity of their request.

How about, give 5 examples of MMOs that have in-game gathering journals as complete as FFXIV's.

Having to dig through external sites for information has always been a shortcoming of MMOs. When I played WoW, I always despised whenever I needed to dig through WoWHead for information that is so readily accessible in FFXIV. And yet, so close to perfection in this manner, this game falls short by missing this key feature that has been an issue long before bicolors were a thing.

And also, not everyone has the money to pay for retainers to fit all of their needs, nor does everyone have the time or willingness to farm bicolors for materials considering all of the things there are to spend them on (which, by the way, also require one to search externally for said vendor's locations, as it's a bit absurd to assume that people know which vendors hold which items they need, if they do at all).
