What the game files can and cannot tell us

The client files hold names, numbers and tooltips. They do not hold quest text, NPC lists or drop tables, which live on the server, so those are counted here only as ids.

A "changed" record differs in at least one field between the two builds. A "new" record has an id Classic Era does not ship; a "dropped" one has an id the beta client does not ship. Names the client marks as placeholders or tests are left out.
