+The spawnentry table has an entry for every NPC that is possible for a spawngroup.  Every [spawn2](https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/wiki/spawn2) entry is associated with exactly one [spawngroup](https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/wiki/spawngroup).  If an entry in the [spawn2](https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/wiki/spawn2)table is enabled, and the condition value for that entry's condition is at least 1, an NPC is picked based on chance from this (spawnentry) table.
+
+The condition_value_filter allows further filtering of which NPC gets picked.
+
+It is easy to get the roles of the _condition, cond_value (both from spawn2) and the condition_value_filter confused.  To summarize:
+
+**Field**|**Table**|**Notes**
+-----|-----|-----
+_condition|spawn2|A spawn2 entry will not file unless _condition is enabled (see spawn_condition_values).
+cond_value|spawn2|Nearly 100% of the usage of this field is on(1)/off(0).  0-off,1-on,2-n max _condition allowed to spawn.
+condition_value_filter|spawnentry|The cond_value of the _condition in the relevant spawn2 entry must match exactly to enable this npc
