EQ2: Updated Wiki

[Frosty]

I hate when I do stupid things.... I've discovered that my Agi + Wis based Bard was going to end up being a slacker.. inch:

Since I need to do some research on the "right" way to spec my classes, I thought I'd add info to the wiki about it.

This brings the question, what are good sites for research? In my old EQ1 days, I used Allakhazam.com. Is this still the main go-to site for EQ2?
Or are there any others you guys could recomend? I've checked out the EQ2flames (sp?) site, but I'd hate to try to link to any information there.

Hey,

Have put together a short list of about the only useful stuff out there (with the possible exception of some guild webpages). The problem with eq2 is all the great sites were run by fans - these guys and girls 'mostly' no longer play the game and their sites have either just 'disappeared' or are chronically out of date.

• Items
  
  • When the game was released - alakazam was a great site - unfortunately, my very hazy memory seems to recall something happening (was it gold farmers who bought it or was that ogaming? - Pretty hazy memory so could be totally wrong) - anyways - the site suffered greatly - it has recently, few years now, been 'given back' to the community - unfortunately, the site hasn't been maintained very well as can be evidenced by the same front page since 11-MAY-2007...ala used to have a great searchable dbase (like all ala relating sites to any mmpg) - and even though members still add stuff, it is missing whole chunks of items which is a shame - but still - if you need a general idea on items with certain stats, I'd go have a look at ala but don't expect much anymore
  • Lootdb is good to give a general idea on what mobs drop what items - if you join you get also are given an idea of the probably of the items dropping (percentages) - not bad to have a look at every now and then - only problem is the site isn't searchable on item stats
• Blog
  
  • One of the best blogs going is eq2 wire
  • EQ2Daily - has podcasts and some good dev chats
• Forums
  
  • Really If I had to choose a really current and active forum I'd go straight to flames - disregard the epeen stroking
  • But there is the soe forum which does have some good stuff from time to time
• Raid mobs
  
  • I would have stated straight away, without hesitation, raidwiki - unfortunately - it closed down just a little while ago - pure shame
  • Probably the only one left for raids now is raidmobs but it hasn't been updated since 2007...
• Links
  
  • EQ2links is probably about it for linkies but this site hasn't been updated for literally years - would be surprised if the links actually work tbh
• Interface
  
  • EQ2interface is about it
  • Quick guide to UI Settings - EXCELLENT - READ IT
• Maps
  
  • If you want an improved in game map then eq2map comes highly recommended - get it
  • Excellent site of printable maps is gamepressure
• Addons
  
  • Advanced combat tracker - get it - learn to use it
  • If you get ACT, then I'd also get the Single/Double Attack detection/notification - can get pretty annoying, but gives an idea of how you are 'meant' to melee in the end game - NEVER miss an autoattack swing
• Tradeskilling
  
  • Traders Corner
  • EQCraft used to be very useful when the game released - back in the bad ol' days when we used to buy WORTs by the tonne (washes, oils, resins, tempers) - not sure if the site is relevant anymore due to the massive changes in trades which now totally avoid the need to create sub-components
• Wiki
  
  • EQ2 Wikia
  • Dual boxer of course!
• General Info
  
  • Tentonhammer
  • EQ2mmodb
  • EQ2Ref - out of date now but still has some useful info
• Cloak designer
  
  • EQ2gallery
• Heroic Oppurtunities
  
  • SOE Forum
  • Ala
• Slash commands
  
  • The List - Reloaded

Dumped all these links into the wiki to keep them safe for future ppl

[Frosty]

Thanks Noxxy! :thumbsup:

Edit - I went in and modified all the menus to be the same on all pages...on the right.
I also added a link back to the main EQ2 menu on all pages because I was going insane going all the way back to the beginning of the (non-EQ2) wiki. :P

[Noxxy]

Had a play with the main page last night and just put in a redirect - not really sure if I was supposed to or not but it all works still - just changed the linky on the main page

[Frosty]

That was a great idea, I was wondering who did it! :P
