allakhazam vs ogamingFollow

look down the menu bar on the left hand side of the screen? :D
it takes time to build u a database of advanced stats etc. personally im happy with the info i got from this site, helped me complete alot of quests and advance my character ( no i wasnt paid to say that lol).

Quest:

Allakhazam
OGaming

Weapons

Allakhazam
OGaming

Bestiary

Allakhazam

They shouldn't disable the search function for those of us that pay for thier service.

Yeah I am not satisfied with the site as it currently exists. Several unforseen things combined to slow down the progress on it. Hopefully, things should start picking up soon. Though if you are at the cutting edge of levelling in the game, it will never really have the information you want. We rely upon people finding things and sending them in, and it's my experience that the ones who find things first are rarely the ones who send in the info. It's usually the ones who come through later in larger numbers that submit things.

As for an EQ2 Lucy, I am told not to expect it. The structure of the game is completely different then EQ or WoW (where we are able to get all game info directly from the game) so we can't really capture anything that useful. For this game, we just have to gather information one player at a time. That's going to take some time unfortunately.

It's a shame about Lucy, would have been really cool.

The problem, for me anyway, is not so much the database, but the fact that its impossible for me to find the best weapon for my class and lvl. That has always been the strength of allakhazam, some sort of advanced weapon search, that gives you the best weapon or equipment for your lvl in the game.

I really love Allahazan /hug :) and know you can reclaim the trone.

Ok you got my interest =)
you have a link to any info or is it still to early?

omfg sotonin that sums it up :D

If you pull this off then.....

cheers

I've been a fan of Alla here like many of you since it's inception. While the item database may have it's problems overall it's still a great resource. It's easy to forget with all the new games out how "tried and tested" this site is. When others have gone the way of the dodo you can always count on Allkhazam. Huge labor of love here and you have to admire how He and Illa have come off despite all their hardships.

I'll keep supoorting it and i'm sure it will come up to snuff with time. Cross ref quests and items with other sites has always been standard.

Having said all that I do hope in the future premium members are allowed to access premium features for EQII as they currently do for EQ1. it would be nice to personalize my searches for my specific needs and characters.

Peace.

Thanks for the kind words guys, it really means a lot!

I am loyal to Alla. I use to come on the site and boards for EQ1 a few years back and if I couldn't find the info I was looking for, there was always someone on the boards to help me out. Knowing that your questions can be answered by knowledgable people on the boards are more important to me than a vanilla flavored guide. I am glad to see after a 3 year absence that some things never change. =) But that is just my opinion.

I too would like an equipment search engine but the way gear is configured in EQ2 seems to make that very difficult. In EQ everything was tagged for class and race. Even the search engine there could not tell you what was best for your level. You had to do the sums yourself on what part of the stats you would obtain.

The added complexity of items going grey just makes it worse. The FAQ says that as you grow out of items you will get less from them but as far as I can see if an item says "+4health +4power" it continues to be that whatever colour it is.

And yes we all forget to send in quest info or update the info posted.

This site is the product of it's contributors - if it isn't as good as another site then it's us not Allakhazam to blame.

I would like to see some info that is missing from the items. Like the Skill required to use it. one hand? dual? can I use it? who knows. and search I really need to search the database with more options. I love this site thats for sure and the forums are the best. I do find my self at other sites when i need to search for better gear or just see if i can use something. A quest now and then that I cant find here. Maps and Spell info. But this is always my first site.
