What do you want to see added to the site?

Here's your chance to give us some feedback. We want to know what you would like see added to the site or changed about the site. Besides increasing the site speed, which we are already addressing, what would you most like to see us do with the site? Is there a type of search you wish you could do with the database? Is there some game information we don't have that you wish we did? Is there some cross-referencing you wish we had? Is there a way you wish we would organize the information that is here? Is there a section that you always wish we had? How would you like us to use the news section that we just added to make it more interesting for you? Because we play Everquest as well, we have always developed the site from the standpoint of what we, as players, would most like to see to make playing the game more fun. But I'm sure there are things we are missing. So feel free to give us your wish list. Go ahead and add your advice to the comments.

Tradeskill search
# Feb 06 2003 at 10:24 AM Rating: Default
I would like to see a search filter for recipes, one that filters for trivia, race and tradeskill.

For instance, I would like to find all recipes that I, as a WE at 160 tailoring, can use to skill up.

Maybe a selection for craft, skill/trivial level, and race so that we get the recipes that are producable by all *and* ones that only our race can do, not all races.

There is no use for me to know *all* cultural recipes, when I am only able to make one, just clutters up the list with useless information.

Thank you,

Love this site, it's a great resource =)

It'd be nice for there to be an archive of all Verant statements to search.
Factions
# Nov 07 2001 at 10:03 AM Rating: Decent
This truly is a great site, thanks guys.

What i'd like to see is an addition to the Beastiary so that Factions are easier to search.

I'd like to see the faction of all major mobs noted on the page description for that NPC.

I'd also like to see a way for searching faction by zone, so you could search, say, Nektulos Forest, and see a list of what factions are represented in that zone.
Prices and Pix

While this is the best EQ Site on the web, I can think of two things I would add:

1) When you do a search for an item, it should show an average price on the list page. This would make a great printable page to use as reference when someone auctions that little known uber item.

2) Having a pic of your character next to your description would be nice also.

Just my 2cp. : )

This is a great way to keep track of my characters' equipment and stats. It's much more up to date and accurate than the similar profile you can post at eq.castersrealm.com. However, the one thing they have that this site doesn't have, is an ability to track your tradeskills. It would be nice if they could add that here, if they did, I wouldn't even bother to keep profiles at the other site!
Searchable Equipment
# Sep 19 2001 at 1:21 PM Rating: Decent
One of the most powerful tools of this website (which is what made me sign up for the premium service) is the "your characters" and the upgrade search engine. This is such an awesome tool that I recommend it to everyone I meet that isn’t sure what equipment s/he should have. However, I have been thoroughly stumped as to what would be best for me to have in my primary/secondary melee and range slots. Being a druid/cleric I am not looking for good damage/delay items but wisdom and resists items. Also, is there anyway that we can do searches for the best total amounts of resists, in addition to each separately? Just some thoughts.

Or maybe a little earlier.

First of all, in the Item Search space, can we make a little check box that says "Exclude Items No Longer Dropped"? It's really a pain to scrounge around for cool stuff to improve your char with and find the Sword of Uberness, Dmg 26, Delay 14, Procs Deathtouch, Str +12, Sta + 8, AGI + 10, Dex, +7 Cha+ 5, All saves +10, HP + 500, MP +150 and then click on it to find out how to get it and it says in fine black print: "Given out at the You Did not Attend This One (HAHA Loser) Fan-faire. Item no longer dropped." Bummer.

Secondly, I've noticed no sites have really accurate information on pricing for items crafted through tradeskills. For example, trying to find a selling price for the small studded leather tunic I just made. Looking at different sites I see that maybe the tunic goes for 175kpp, while the legs go for 3pp, which screams bad info to me. And as a tradeskill person, this is necessary info. I know prices vary from server to server, but is it possible to post an average price that mean people can't ***** with? Thanks.
want to add to my earlier post
# Aug 14 2001 at 2:58 PM Rating: Decent
Just want to add a few things to my earlier post:

1) A simple spell list with all the spells and effects for each class

2) Short stories of ppl playing EQ, like lets say a guy had a horrific night in Kithicor and wants to tell us what it was like.

3) I agree with a way to announce u wish to buy stuff, although i would like to not have to do this through e-mail (don't check my e-mail a lot)

4) Maybe even a small link to EQ itself if possible.

5) And with the item list the zones u are most likely to be able to buy it in

That's all )
Just a list of stuff...
# Aug 14 2001 at 2:50 PM Rating: Decent
These may have been listed but i didn't quite want to read all the posts: First this is the best site i know for EQ. I've checked CastersRealm but they have information wrong, The official is only good for screendhots. Everlore is pretty good but this site is better organized. Only other one i love is EQMaps but now u gotta pay to be a member and EQatlas doesn't have all the info this does (but it has the best maps)

1) Try ading a daily screenshot on the main page or soemthing.

2) It would be cool to have a screenshot of your character besides your character information.

3) Have a all-all search: U type a word and it lists every thing (spell, wep, creature) that is on EQ.

4) List of guilds on each server and a chat on those guilds. Plus their rules or whatever comment the creator wishes to post

Sorry for such a long post, but thx if u read it )

First of all, sucking up :). I LOVE THIS SITE! It is the only site (except the official) that I ever visit. I only visit the official to look at screen shots from Luclin.... Anyway, this is my little list of things that I would LOVE to have added/fixed/changed on this site (some of it has been previously posted, but hey...)

1) In the classifieds there needs to be a part where you can at least mark taking offers, or best offer, trades excepted. A prefered solution would be a little 3-4 line section where the seller could "personalize" the auction.

2) There should be a Want Adds section. Could be REALLY helpfull to sellers and even more helpfull to buyers.

3) The search option to look for items/weapons with an effect. I read this on a post below and though that it would be EXTREMELY helpfull.

4) An edition to the equipment that has a "prefered" lvl/class (race if needed). So if I were to look up..oooh, lets say the Polished Granite Tomahawk. It would say something like, "Good item for: Lvl 10-20 WAR". Or something like that.

5) On class descriptions there should be a list of special skills and wen they are learnable.

6) On the class description there should also be a prefered trade skill. Like for a RNG it would be fletching, ENC would be jewelry, and WAR would be smithing (or something). Of course there would be the obvious poison making and alchemy, but anyway.

Ok, there is my "little" list. If you read it, bless you, and thank you for your time :^P
primary/secondary
# Jul 31 2001 at 8:49 PM Rating: Good
just a tiny suggestion. in equipment search you should be able to look up primary slot and secondary slot as well as range slot. so that let's say i look up a bard half elf instead of having to look up 1hs i can look up primary slot and get a good list of items for it, then look up secondary and voila! i'm duel weilding. IMO it would be nice.
classifieds and characters
# Jul 29 2001 at 3:18 PM Rating: Excellent
My biggest suggestion is to expand the character and classifieds section. I love the classifieds. There are 2 things I would like to see:

1) Search by people wanting to BUY items, as well as people selling items
2) Include a character description for the person posting the ad. That way, I can add notes saying things like all prices are obo, and I am likely to accept trades, etc.

It would be great if we could add a general character description to our characters, and a picture too.

Also, I agree with the person who said they would like to be able to search for items that are not equipment. When I forage up some barracuda bones and want to find out what they are, I get confused when I can only search by quest or equipment! In fact, I will find them under equipment, but it makes no sense.

Good work though, I love your site.

These are words that I swear you stole from me! :^) If they don't add these things to the classifieds soon, send them an e-mail at Allakhazam@allakhazam.com (I guess the name was expected) I've been tryin to get these added to the site myself.

Search to see what other chars of your class/level are weari
# Jun 04 2001 at 3:56 AM Rating: Decent
It would be nice to be able to search for say monks level 14 and see what other chars are wearing. Of course it could be quite depressing with all the twinking ). Is there a limit on the number of characters you can have - I have entered nine and dont seem to be able to add more.

I think it would be cool to be able to do a search for GM event items. I have a few, and would like to submit them to the site and add a description for these unique and powerful items and weapons that I've aquired and know that someone out there is going "Holy! Thats some Phat Uber Loot. I want it, where does it drop? To bad it went to a warrior, it should be monk only." etc. Would be kinda nice to add those items to my character on here, too. Thx.

It would be very nice if you would enable readers to filter and/or sort your news page by category. I find myself doing this visually, but would be great to have the system do it for me. Also, your "news" link on your front page should link to your news section... not the front page. :)
More monster info
# May 31 2001 at 12:20 PM Rating: Decent
A suggestion for the Beastiary. It would helpful to add a couple more fields in the information. Specifically I'm thinking:
Spawn location
Place holder
Spawn time

This is some of the most important information when you're trying to do a quest or look for a specific piece of loot. Sometimes it's in the comments, but not always. If it was referenced in the spawn information, that would be really helpful.

There's been several times when I read a quest saying talk to NPC A, then I look in the beastiary, find NPC A, but have no idea where in Freeport or Qeynos or Kelethin they are.

On a side note, I second the person earlier saying put up a no-ad subscription service. I've donated, but I would probably be more consistent if I could just get a monthly charge on a credit card. hehe.

I appreciate the suggestions regarding the bestiary :)

I ruled out providing spawn locations, simply due to the amazing error factor involved in providing it. Too many things wander around, and in many cases there are too many creatures to be able to provide locations. A Wan Ghoul Knight for example.

Also, it's awfully hard to collect for the 6,000+ npcs I have catalogued.

Spawn times are generally fixed on the zones. Though for some of the larger ones I can put it in. But again, if the creature in question is a rare spawn, spawn time is somewhat irrelevant as it depends not on the timer, but on the RNG which decided what pops.

I have considered putting in information regarding the relative rarity of a given creature. An array of choices like "Rare", "Common","Very Rare", etc might work. But then again, that sort of thing tends to show up in the comments pretty quickly.

Placeholders are another tricky thing to include. Gruplinort in Old Sebilis has some 4 different types of Frog that can spawn in his spot. Other dungeons have even wider spawn tables. Even in cases like the Ancient Cyclops, there has been a great deal of debate about what might be the placeholder. (there isn't one in particular)

We are considering a subsciption to remove the ads. nice to know at least one person might buy it :)

Thanks for the suggestions!

What to add
# May 31 2001 at 10:04 AM Rating: Default
I too would like to see more items added, with the aim of every lootable/purchasable/summonable item in the game bost listed and corss referenced to usage/quests and source/location.

This should include all tradeskill recipes where the item is a component.

I'd also like to see the cross linking checked as still too many items say multiple creatures when it's actually a fairly definable number of types, and other items which fall from specifi creatures but are not linked back to the creature from the item.

zone/item searches
# May 31 2001 at 1:36 AM Rating: Decent
would be nice if in the zone equipment (under specific zone links) you could sort the items by race class etc. i.e go to the sebilis section call up the war usuable items from the.

And keep up the good work, this is by far the best eq site out there

spells
# May 30 2001 at 9:20 PM Rating: Default
one thing i would like to see, is a spells list similar to everlore's. where you choose your class, then a list of available spells comes up with a description of the spell and where to get it. and of course the lv you get the spell and anything required to cast the spell or play it. i haven't seen anything on this site like that, maybe it's there but i've never found it and so i freqent everlore often for just that info.
Update not so much add

My suggestion is not so much an addition as an update to the character info. Right now every time you level you have to go back and update the info. I don't know how difficult it would be, but to have it up date your hp and ac, based on an update of your level. When you start to get alot of items, it's a hassle to strip down and adjust your new stats on the character info screen.

I love the site. It has some of the best quest info on the net, as well as your item database.

I'd like to subscribe to Allakhazam's and pay a subscription fee.

All I ask in return for my money, NO ADS! Keep the site free, but allow a paying subscriber to avoid the slow page turns and eyestrain caused by animated ads and pop up windows.

I donated once, but I won't do it again so long as I have to download advertisements.

I'd like a few things.
1) Search by race as well as class in the equipment section.
2) Search for MAGIC tagged items only. Great for finding weapons that can hit wisps.
3) Filter to exclude items that can no longer be gotten in game. (ie Staff of the Gathering, etc)

Would it be possible to add a search for items which have effects?
I know the data is there about effects on items, but there doesn't
seem to be a search filter for items which have effects.
RE: New search suggestion
# Aug 10 2001 at 10:30 PM Rating: Default
I would also like to see this. Very good post. It would be very usefull to a person like me looking for an off-hand item with some-kind of buff effect. I deal plenty of dmg with my slime coated harpoon but it took me FOREVER to figure out that a whip of strangulation would be good for more dmg/debuff on my apponent. I want to find a good weapon for off-hand that has a buff though. This would make my search a lot easier and a lot less time consuming.
what to do with items
# May 30 2001 at 10:12 AM Rating: Decent
Hi,

this is already the site with the most information, but there is something I cannot find anywhere is an explanation on what to do with items. For example, I find this Diseases Bone Marrow, but I can't figure out what to do with it. Or I made some Shadow Silk and would like to know what it is for. Is it a quest item, spell ingredient or trade skill ingredient? So I would highly appreciate a cross reference from items to quests, spells and trade skill recipes. But I know this is a lot of work.

thanks for this site.

At least some of this is already there. You can go to the quest item list in both the equipment and the quest database and look up what to do with the minor items you find. If they are used for a quest, they are linked to the quest description. Many other minor items are listed, and either the description or the comments state what they are used for.

Currently the search engine is really good at finding equipement, but really poor at finding NON-equippable items.

I'd like to type in "bat wings" and see at least the basic bat wings, and maybe werebat wings too. These should have links to all the quests and recipes that use them.

Maybe you guys need a partner just for doing recipes.
