EQ2 Caster's Realm Tradeskill Database Unveiled!

[Arthais]

<DIV> <P>A few days ago I announced the demonstration of a few sample pages from our upcomming tradeskill database.  At the time however I was not showing off the actual front end, or how searches would be handled.  Today we are ready to unveil the database.  <A href="http://applets.crgaming.com/eq2/main.html" target="">Take a look</A>.</P> <P>I encourage everyone to poke around on the database, get a feel for it.  Do some searches with it, take a look at how information is listed and presented.  Do you like the layout?  Think it's better with or without frames?  Is it too slow?  Too confusing?  Let us know.  We've created a special email address:  <A href="mailto:[email protected]" target=_blank>[email protected]</A> so if you have ANY suggestions, anything at all, send an email that way.  That email is forwarded to both me and Calthine, and we'll see it right away.</P> <P>For now there is a bit of information present.  We have about half of the Artisan Essential recipes entered, and most of the outfitter essential tier 2 recipes in.  Over the next few days I plan to finish up the Artisan recipes, and fill up the other tiers.  At that point we're going to start adding the advanced t1 recipes, and move on with the actual higher class levels.  So as you play, search for artisan recipes, and outfitter recipes, to actually see what's there.  Again, send me a note with anything you think interesting, or could stand to be changed, or any suggestions you have.</P> <P>Also of course, this is a tremendous amount of work, and we're always looking for volunteers, so if you want to help with this project, drop us a line at <A href="mailto:[email protected]" target=_blank>[email protected]</A>.</P></DIV>

Grats! Very impressive. One question tho, if I choose lets say Woodworker which is a lvl 20 class would that mean my minimum search would have to be from 20-70? or would it start from lvl 1 woodworker? Maybe its a stupid question just a thought.

<DIV>tryed a few things with just putting a harvestable in the slot and no results returned. Web page says finished but with errors.</DIV>

<P>Ok :smileyhappy: Thanks for clarifying that. I think its good  because they CAN make those items. If I wanted to be Armorer I would be very happy knowing I could make leather and such up until lvl 20.</P>

<P>As of a few moments ago the last artisan essentials book still outstanding from our database was fully inputted.  With the completion of that book, our <A href="http://applets.crgaming.com/eq2/main.html" target=_blank>tradeskill database</A> now fully contains all essential tier 1 recipes, as well as all of the tier 2 outfitter recipes as well!  We're also making fast work on the craftsman recipes and should finish the tier by tomorrow night, and Scholar shortly afterwards.  Stay tuned, and if you haven't yet, take a look in <A href="http://applets.crgaming.com/eq2/main.html" target="">the database</A>.</P>
