I've done a bucket load of hamlets myself so I know a fair bit about what to do and where some of the items I want drop from. But there doesnt seem to be much easy to find information on provisioning and full drop lists from each area etc. So with that....

What does provisioning actually do? I know it gives you extra points and makes it easier to hit 60k but is that it?

Is there a difference between 1 2 3 4 5 - 20? Does it affect drops in any way?

Is it true that the accessories only drop with a top 3 or that number 1 = 100% drop rate?

Is it true that some stuff only drops if your 4-20 so if your top 3 you won't get it?

Is there a full list of possible loots from each location along with any pre-reqs to get them other than the standard 60k+. i.e tools / accessories.?

Most of the hamlet info I've seen is pretty much just tells you how to get 60k+ and other such info. I dont really have a problem getting the 60k+ just trying to understand the provisioning as some people would like the tools and accessories etc.

A lot of what I've heard is mostly grapevine so I don't know to much about how being a provisioner actually works as there's so many contradicting answers.

Thanks
