Bogus spell effects, identical across tiers

Using the query below, it's clear that all the effects are identical across all the spell tiers.  It seems that all the spells are this way across the various tiers.

Also, note that there are multiple versions of the spells, even at the same tier.  Is there an explanation for this?  Any chance of getting a cleaned up spell database?  

Example:

<span style="white-space: pre;"> census.daybreakgames.com/yaml/get/eq2/sp...Soothing+Sermon

 

Those are all acutally different spell tiers.  Technically it's valid though I bet we dont have them all hooked up (for example there probably is nothing that uses tier 1 apprentice and everything uses tier 2) but since they exist in data they exist in the feed.  I will see if we can do something about it.

 

I'm more concerned overall about the quality of the spell lists in general.  Specificially two things, one being the effects reading identically across the "major tiers" -- journeyman, apprentice, adept, expert, master, and grandmaster.  Surely a heal does more health restoration, or a combat art does more damage if the spell is better.  Searching on the broker for a master and adept shows differing effect numbers.  Along with this are the lack of the "description" text which examine shows, and all the other missing fields -- target, range, etc.

Item two is really list quality.  Searching for all beastmaster spells for instance shows some real oddities like "sneak attack", "Dirty Tricks", and other non-BL usable spells.  At least AFAIK they are not.  I suspect this was a mistake when they were flagged, just like some of the poisions are accidently flagged as BL-usable.

And the there's the missing spells/abilities like the x2 debuff.

Sorry for the laundry list.  I do appreciate having the feed at all, but I would love to help clean it up a bit too!

 

Can you break those out into seperate requests and include specific example for each. 

Thanks,
