I'm just doing one xml today - it's Saturday and I don't really want to tackle any more than this.
CoreItems.xml
Some near the bottom have a <Description> and a <Provides> that don't match (+3 per shard vs. +4 per shard, etc.). I'm not sure if these particular ones show both, but one or the other must obviously be wrong.
p.s. to zigzag or joe, the massive goodie huts has some lines that say:
<Desc>Searching the area you find a valuable item.</Desc>
This needs a comma, right? Cause there are a ton of these. I'm hoping it can be done without the comma.
