Items Research

Very cool, Zewt. Did Xinux ever get a copy of your Items collection? Regardless of you manually entering the data, it could go a long way towards helping us auto-generate some missing items.

He got a copy of everything that I got in-game links for, was like 18K items I think. That was back when the game was still live so he could do a collect on them as well.

The other ~300K items, no. They are just a name, id, iconid.

Yup I did and I submitted the collect of my doing a look up on all of them in game. I don't remember off hand how many of those items were still valid.

These are the ones I'm talking about. (omg you manually entered 300k items?!) Even if it's just an item name and icon, it's a base to start building or spec'ing out those items we lost. Let me know if you think this is useful (I do, but you know the data better).

Sorry for the late response.

Back when SoE was going to do an items DB website, I basically grabbed all the data I could from it. But it only had ID, Name and icon. So it is directly from the source, but very old. They did a number of passes over their item DB since that time.

Also I am ready to jump into LUA and making content, and not finding a starting point...
