Some things can't be done without some work.

You could do a "find and replace" on the values in mongen using notepad.
You could copy the data to a spreadsheet to get more tools for copying and filling down or changing values.

The quickest way would be to copy all or blocks of your mongen and paste them back to double up etc.

All that said, it pays to go through your list more carefully as you can often spot faults or unreported errors.

I personally like going through it all manually.
Found that some drop rates are insanely low and some are oddly high. either way you can create a fully custom drop list if you do it yourself, each cave you know the different drop rates, rather than a global 2x drop rate multiplier e.c.t.

Doesn't take long, same for mongen (done that myself too)

Taking the easier and quicker option for stuff like this isn't always the best idea, individual control is so good, you have an issue with 1 mob you can isolate it, drop rates are too high, you still got to change them all..

Effort is rewarded :)
