Monster drops
Yiab's Item Hunt has generally taken care of item/meat drop statistics from monsters.
Elemental monster type
Various monsters need their elemental type comfirmed. A monster is of that element if it's resistant to it or weak against its two corresponding others. Check here for locations that still need confirmation. See Established Standards: Location Pages#Combat Adventure Template for info on how to use the template.
Only three types of elemental damage are needed to guarantee determination of a monster's element. That is, if your equipment/active effects/familiar attack does at least 2 damage of each type.
The Cerebral Crossbow is perfect for this, as it adds +3 Cold Damage, +3 Spooky Damage, and +3 Sleaze Damage.
| Monster alignment: | Hot | Spooky | Cold | Sleaze | Stench | None |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cold Damage inflicted | 3 | 3 | 1 | 6 | 6 | 3 |
| Spooky Damage inflicted | 3 | 1 | 6 | 6 | 3 | 3 |
| Sleaze Damage inflicted | 6 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 6 | 3 |
Dealing 3 Cold Damage, 3 Spooky Damage, and 6 Sleaze Damage would conclusively prove that the monster's elemental alignment is hot.
With only 2 elements, the monster's elemental alignment is only conclusive on 4 out of 6 possible elemental types. For instance, using an icy-hot katana (with +3 Hot Damage and +3 Cold Damage), you could prove that monster had no element or that its element was hot, spooky, or cold, but monsters aligned to sleaze would be indistinguishable from those aligned to stench.
| Monster alignment: | Hot | Spooky | Cold | Sleaze | Stench | None |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hot Damage inflicted | 1 | 6 | 6 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| Cold Damage inflicted | 3 | 3 | 1 | 6 | 6 | 3 |
With 1 element, you'd only be able to prove 1 out of 6 possible elemental types. For instance, this is the damage you'd deal to monsters with dirty hobo gloves equipped:
| Monster alignment: | Hot | Spooky | Cold | Sleaze | Stench | None |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stench Damage inflicted | 4 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
