I'm rather fond of <a href="http://www.eq2llinks.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.eq2llinks.com</a>Open it in the in-game browser and I can use it to see the stats or do the dressing room on any item with "fake links."

When you reach Kunark (starting with Kylong Plains) there's a lot of factions that may sell legendary items. However, to be allowed to view their goods you need a certain amount of faction points first.Here's a link to a web site where you can browse the items offered by all factions in Kunark. You can then make up your mind whether the goods offered by a faction is good enough for you to keep doing their quests.<a href="http://chordian.dk/eq2faction.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://chordian.dk/eq2faction.htm</a>
