Here's a MultiBoxing Quest database!

Excellent, and yeah you might want to add by hub as in where its at, or more like the order of them. For example:

1-6 starting area (Maybe just put in the names of the place. This is kind of a pain until you get to the major hubs like STV and some of the other places.)
6-12 Area next to major city
12-17 Westfall for Alliance, Barrens for horde (Yes there are other areas but for the most part this is the place where the first dungeons are set, except for horde which has a lower level dungeon in Org)
17-26 Redridge for Alliance, Stonetalon Mts. or Thousand Needles for horde.

Maybe too much, we can probably come up with something simpler.

And good idea on the killonly and MB friend quest sub-category.

If anyone has any ideas how to parse information from wowhead.com, let me know. I know the lightheaded Mod pulls all sorts of info from Wowhead and puts it into LUA format, so i dont see why we cant use this same method to our benifit.

Everyone, keep the ideas Coming. Version 2 will include the best ideas, if i can figure out how to realistically implement them.

Byte, one thing to keep in mind if you find a way to data mine from wowhead is whether or not a kill quest is buried in a chain that had a collection prerequisite. Before RAF was released I had been toying around with a collection free quest outline but kept running into hurdles with a large chunk of my wowhead searches being follow ups to collection quests.

The other side of the filtering was that some collection quests are ok, those being group drops, usually monster's heads. ?(

Maybe one of the more query savay multi-boxers can offer a more effective search filter set that would help sort things on wowhead or wowdb.

way ahead of you on the 'involved in quest-chain' issue, it will be a highlight of version 2.

and i'm half-way done with a process that will automatically insert certian quests into the database. Although it may take a few weeks(possibly) it's gonna be worth it.

Isnt there a way to extract all the questinfo out of the wow files? Just like people do with the 3d models and such?

ghehe or nastyer, make a habbit of replying to wowhead quests with a certain user account, download lightheaded, scrape the quest id's with that user and voila

And/or we/me can manualy checka all the quests that you get from searching on google for:
"kill" "?quest" site:www.wowhead.com
"slain" "?quest" site:www.wowhead.com

Yay! each search gives about 800 results with removal of similar pages.
Realy it would not take that much time just manualy (will ofc be best) or using a simple macro.

A macro might be something like checking the cached pages and searching for the yellow colour in "slain" only in the area where it is suppose to be, and if true copies it into http://www.thebrokentheused.net/kill/add.html

A very simple solution but might be the quickest.

I'm currently setting up everything for 5mixed boxing, if someone wants to do it go ahead ofc , anyways if no one els will I will try to do it asap.

that's how i origionally picked the quests for the 1st database, but it left too many places for someone to screw up, so i coded a little scraper. basically you put the quest ID in and it pulls the quest name, quest starting npc, quest completion npc, minimum level, quest objective, and the such. The only problem i'm having (which i can't get the info by scouring the lightheaded txt also) is to get the quest zone. wowhead was kinda sneaky by placing it into a javascript (that reacts to mouse movement) so i cant pull it.

details to come.

I've got pretty much the entire wowhead database as of may 08.... just say if you want a copy

I did something similar a few months ago with a python script. I got most of the parsing done and just never put the last 30-60minutes in to it that I needed to finish it. I was waiting for my scroll of resurrection free time to end and then I hit 60s and figured I'd just grind it out in outland. It looks like yall may have beat em to it, but I could get around to changing mine to align with wowhead. I was just grabbing each quest and then doing a string search for "killing" etc.
