Could I pay someone silvers to collect TD values?

The context is character planning.

On creatures?

Many of them are filled in on the GSWiki, depending on the spell circle.

The wiki values don't usually account for level variation and creatures having self-cast TD boosters. Ideally there would be a display where you could see the native TD values for the different pure/hybrid spheres, then the likely in-game values with checkboxes for the defensive spells they can cast. It's not a technically difficult project (at least for a sorcerer who can easily measure level variants and check all the common spheres) but a tedious one that the wiki doesn't yet have a good display for.

To the question, there's Zero reason why paying somebody silvers to gather data for you would be considered a policy violation

It also isn't consistent with whether it shows the TD/DS they gen with, fully spelled TD/DS, or a range... it just depends on who put the values in (if there's anything filled in). It's good for getting an idea of what to expect, but prolly close to worthless for serious min/maxers.

Whenever I bring one of my characters into a new hunting ground, I try to make sure any values they can discern are added if they aren't already there. It's usually the values they gen with, but if I see something regularly casting boosts on it's self and/or other critters I'll put both the values they gen with and the highest I can find in my logs. Unfortunately, the higher in level you go, the more rare it is to find hunting grounds where there isn't something casting defensive spells on everything it shares a room with.
