Item links in AllakhazamFollow

I've never come onto the forums here, but then I've never really had much worth saying :)

One thing I've noticed though is that the item links provided by the SOE database (and used on allakhazam) really arent that helpful. Take The Guard of Motte. From the icon and the fact it goes into secondary I can guess its a shield. But what type of shield skill does it need? How much AC does it have? Without those, I don't know if the quest is worth doing (though I'd probably do it anyway :P.) The system of submitting screenshots from in game used for the eq1 site, alongside a text list of its properties was much more useful.

This isnt really a gripe or a moan about Allakhazam, and its not going to affect how much I like and use the site, but just something that limits its usefulness in some ways.

i suspect that more information is forthcoming, and that the items that we are seeing right now are the result of an initial load, just to get the records into the database.

it's a huge amount of data, and it'll take a bit for the crew to catch up, but i'm confident they will :).

many people post information on the item threads, but don't realize that corrections and updates should be emailed also, as it's hard to surf through that many pages just looking to see if a post contains additional information. email is easier to check, since there's a much higher chance that it will be a correction or info for the database.

2. If you want to submit EQ2 information, please e-mail it to allakhazam@allakhazam.com. I'd appreciate if you put EQ2 Information as the header, so I can sort through it faster.

3. What information do we need the most? a) Any quest we are missing; b) Updates of quests we have such as reward information or better descriptions; c) Drop information on what drops from what mobs; d) Any Mob info we are missing; e) Game play guides for our guides section; f) Anything else you may think will interest us - we're open to suggestions.

Thank you to everyone for all you have sent in so far and for your support. This is definitely a work in progress, but we are determined to make this site the best it can be.
