Drop chances and loot tables, world drops

[waffle]

Heyo, as I am new to the vanilla scene and just found the enchant recipe for 'lesser block' (a really rare recipe back in the days) I wondered how those items and stuff is set here.

I know that rare mobs have their loot table and stuff, but how works this with world drops, 'stuff' and recipes which were rare back then and so on.

Is it aimed to be exactly (or as exact as possible) from the retail version, or are there (bigger) differences like the strange higher drop chance in lower levels for magic items and such?

And no, I won't sell the recipe for now

loot tables are utterly fucked at the mo, enjoy it for now and reap the ah rewards if/when they are fixed.
