Internal EQ2U Item Icons updated.

 

Spells have been updated for level 126-130 (Ballads of Zamira). 847 spells were added. All spells have replacement levels.

 

With the tremendous effort of Airablade and additional collected data from Taled, I've got 61 of the 67 Ballads of Zimara collections up on EQ2U just 30 hours after launch.

 

Added achievement subcategories and graphics for:

• Ballads of Zimara
• Shattered Overture
• Year of Darkpaw
• {Summer} Jubilee

Added the rest of the collection items and collections from Ballads of Zimara minus 2 items which haven't been discovered yet. We do not have official Census data, this is all hand-crawled.

 

On the To Do list:

Support "typeinfo.placementflag" when searching for Adornments.

 

EQ2U has a new feature today "Vendor Items" entirely based upon data hand-entered data from an enthusiastic player -- Tune. He intends to keep the data updated as each expansion unlocks on TLE servers.

Quest Crowdsourcing is now implemented on EQ2U. Quest Data is held back for several months after expansions and game updates. But you can help us now!

I'd appreciate any help you can give in identifying quests. Quest Crowdsourcing lets you to help us identify quests in your Active Quest Journal. Just click the button when viewing a character's active quest journal, fill in the form, and click Submit!

Updated Recipes and added Recipe Components.

 

At player request, added these Item Search -> Effect types.

• Haste
• Multi Attack
• Weapon Damage
• Melee Weapon Range
• Ranged Weapon Range
• Melee Multiplier
• Fervor Overcap

Also added "DPS" since some items had DPS and some had 'Damage Per Second'.

 

Currently, all non-upgradeable Spells and Abilities are tagged as "Ability" in the database. Does it make sense to correct this to "Spell" for spells? I have not looked to see how big a change this might be. This is response to a user e-mail I received today.

 

• Updated Collections.
• Updated Recipes.
• Updated Recipe Components.
• Updated Guild Achievements.
• Corrected Achievement sorting for 'Year of Darkpaw' achievements.
• Added 1 missing Mercenary.
• Updated Marketplace.
• Added Quests which had 2 entries in Crowdsource data. I may have to reevaluate updating quests that having only a single submission. I prefer at least 2 independent entries to avoid errors.

 

• Cleared crowdsourced/crawled Collection data and loaded Ballads of Zimara and Darkpaw Rising collections from Census.
• Cleared crowdsourced/crawled Quest data and reloaded all Quest data from Census. This includes Ballads of Zimara.
• Updated "Items which are a Collection reward" linkbacks.
• Updated "Items which are a Quest reward" linkbacks.
• Updated "Examining this Item offers the Quest" linkbacks.

 

Overseer Agents and Overseer Quests are now separately searchable on EQ2U.
Added level 130 tier to Dragon's Armory ACTLoot views.

 

Thanks to a report from Dox, I've fixed an issue where the "Active Servers" checkbox on Guild Searches was hardcoded to a list of servers instead of checking active servers through code.
