Yeah, I don't know how to do this either...but I got 1 Powerstone, 5 Lokum, and 1 Res scroll out of 3 gifts. I'd be grateful iff someone would be kind enough to add that. (174.49.228.112 09:51, 22 May 2010 (UTC))

Design of table?
I hate to admit it, but I don't think I understand the table. The leftmost column - what does it represent? The number(sum) of royal gifts we received, or the number of items inside all the gifts we got? I'd suppose it's the former, but I'm not sure anymore and the numbers don't really point either way. So before I'm distorting the result, I'll refrain from adding values till I know how to correctly fill it. For the recond, just opened 1 gift for 4 brandy.--Cyberman 17:35, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The number on the left is the number of gifts opened, the other sections are for the times you recieved that item (however many) so one gift yielding 2 brandy would have a 1 for gift, and a 1 under brandy. Sonic Sunday User Da Sonic Sig2.png 00:34, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I see. Thanks for the explanation.--Cyberman 07:47, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks to Balistic's flexible template, each data line now calculates the gift total automatically. &mdash; <font color="#8B0000">Mar [[Image:User_Mar_Master_Sig2b.png|19px|Talk ]] <font color="#8B0000">Master  12:25, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I noticed. Great work you all did to that table. Perhaps it's time to reorder the items? Bundle scrolls and such. With the flexible template it shouldn't be a problem, I think. (Though I'm not even thinking about touching it. Too much risk of ruining it...)--Cyberman 13:16, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I had the same idea, but while we are still adding categories, 1 at a time, it might be a bit better to wait til that process stops. However, changing the template will do it automatically. The grouping could be set up to mirror the Royal Gift page. I would want to update the totals and percentages at the same time to keep everything in sync. &mdash; <font color="#8B0000">Mar  [[Image:User_Mar_Master_Sig2b.png|19px|Talk ]] <font color="#8B0000">Master  13:30, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I reordered the columns to "group" things up like this - minis, summoning, consumables, scrolls, other - emphasis on "unique items" to the beginning of the line. &mdash; <font color="#8B0000">Mar [[Image:User_Mar_Master_Sig2b.png|19px|Talk ]] <font color="#8B0000">Master  17:12, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Editing?
Why can't I update my line anymore? I just got 10 more, (6 SB rations(1, and 5), 1 Scroll of Rampager's Insight, 1 Expert Salvage kit, a Powerstone, 2 Lockpicks, a Medal of Honor, 1 Superior Id kit, a Scroll of Hunters insight and a Krytan Lokum) Noggieca 23:54, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It's a template now. Find yours and then add on to it. – User Balistic B d-dark.png<font color="#7777cc">alistic 00:51, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I have no idea whatsoever how to edit that table so I'll just list here what I got so far - 1 brandy, 4 lokum, 1 medal of honor, 1 powerstone of courage, 1 scroll of hunter's insight. If anyone would be so nice as to explain in layman's terms how to edit this I would appreciate it, since a guildie and I plan on spending whole day tomorrow running Falken.

 * Simple. Type
 * replace with (example of yours) |brandy=1|lokum=4|medal=1|powerstone=1|hunter's insight=1 – User Balistic B d-dark.png<font color="#7777cc">alistic 04:28, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I've added yours ^_^ – User Balistic B d-dark.png<font color="#7777cc">alistic 04:31, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * In keeping with the desire to drop the date value from data entries, please use the slightly different pattern shown here:

WOOOOOO MINI EVENNIA!!!!! ... ahem ... sorry got excited there :-) Noggieca  22:33, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info on how to edit this. I added the drops for both me and my guildie (we spent the whole afternoon and part of the evening running Falken through Watchtower Coast). Hope that's ok, if not I can make a separate line for his drops, but I don't see how that would matter? More of the same coming in tomorrow. :D Razor39999 22:39, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Total
Someone else changes the total right? <font color="Purple"> Eive_Windgrace 00:39, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * There are a number of drop rate fans that swoop-in and update the calculations. &mdash; <font color="#8B0000">Mar [[Image:User_Mar_Master_Sig2b.png|19px|Talk ]] <font color="#8B0000">Master  04:55, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Random amount of stacked items
For consistency, people should be aware either they have to put amount of consummables they got or they have to count them as only one occurence. Elephant 13:48, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Added a note about this to the top of the table, I hope this will help clarify your point. &mdash; <font color="#8B0000">Mar [[Image:User_Mar_Master_Sig2b.png|19px|Talk ]] <font color="#8B0000">Master  14:57, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Now anonymous IP removed all timestamps ><... Elephant 17:09, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The timestamps did make the rows tall. See Before and After, Skerry's row was just taking up more space. – User Balistic B d-dark.png<font color="#7777cc">alistic 17:48, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Whole table itself is extra large already. Its only purpose is to gather players' rates and occurences. If a player line accidentally happens to take more space than the others, just make the signature colomn wider, instead of stripping all other lines to make them homogeneous... to that line.
