How to read the percentages
Classic-DB recorded loot-entry chances are database configuration values, not Wowhead player sample statistics and not verified Forever rates. Skinning is a separate roll after killing a skinnable creature. Quest and other conditions apply before selection. “Pool selection” means an equal-choice group entry, not a 0% drop. Follow shared-pool links to see the source selection chance and roll count; these are not multiplied into an overall percentage.
