But I'm sure people want to know the odds for the Rosemary Gloves tailoring manual.
Now, here the devs did two things. They made it easy on me, and they also showed their sadistic side at the same time. See, most monster and item drop chances in Mabi are weighted values. That is, instead of anything resembling a percentage or "x out of x", they're listed in terms of a "weight" value, which means a little extra math and room for human error when figuring out drop rates to single percentages.
Well, here the devs left comments (that I have confirmed) noting the percentage chances! For Avon. Specifically. Only Avon has these comments. Why? So they could double-check their work and make sure that the Rosemary Gloves manual would be really friggin' rare.

What's that, can't even see a single pixel representing the bar for the manual and skill books? Yeah they're pretty damn rare. The skill books have a weight of 40, you know, far below the other stuff on the charge at like 35,000 and junk.
Oh and the manual? Weighted at 4.
Yeah that's around a 1 in 95,000 chance.
