Stratics presents better search page and more item

General Discussion Started Last reply 31 posts
We have been updating content on stratics and the final pieces of the items on the site that lacked a few C4 items has now been added, we also updated the search page.

Remember, the site has the C4 drop list.

Weapons: http://lineage2.stratics.com/content/library/items/weapons.php
Armor: http://lineage2.stratics.com/content/library/items/armor.php
Jewelry: http://lineage2.stratics.com/content/library/items/jewelry.php
Misc. Items: http://lineage2.stratics.com/content/library/items/etcitems.php

Monsters: http://lineage2.stratics.com/content/library/monsters/

Search page: http://lineage2.stratics.com/content/library/search/

Normal Search will give you exact match (Mithril Dagger will give you items containing "Mithril Dagger" only)
Full Text Search will give you results on all words (Mithril Dagger will give you items containing either "Mithril" or "Dagger" in them).

Please feel free to come with suggestions for features and more search options you'd like to see.

Thanks goes to Venkman for his tireless work fixing the system up. :)
gj LC. keep it up.
<pang of conscience> Must... quest... >.>

Good job though. :)
very nice

good job
Way to go Venkman and thanks LC for your work too!
Wow, this site keeps geting beter n better, good job Lord!!!

Cheers!!
I appreciate that Stratics is trying to support the L2 community, but why add trivial information (i.e. the "misc items" link with info on various grades of arrows... who cares?) when the important stuff isn't there yet?

Please update the information for C4 manor system. Show screenshots of thew c4 manor turn-in and of how lords can set up the manor. Educate lords on running manor (e.g. money removed from vault at 6pm, if you screw up manor shuts down). Show recipe list of each castle/manor blacksmith, and fix the broken item calculator functions that are currently in place.

Put up list of items and prices for Trader and Blacksmith of Mammon.

Put up list of SA Crystals required to put SA on each weapon, along with fees and costs.

Put up crystalization values of S-grade items.

Put up calculations of costs to generate crystals by fabricating and crushing duel swords.

Complete information for quests, such as 3rd class transfers.

This is the type of information that I would find useful.
Excellent job over there :)

I do <3 my Stratics ;)
Very good work! Your site is one of the best (still) out there.

A couple minor issues though. The 2 handed swords listing is missing a divider to seperate it from the one handed section.

And you seem to have the mini-icons swapped for the Orcish Polearm and the Orcish Halberd.

(i.e. the "misc items" link with info on various grades of arrows... who cares?)



Actually many people have used that section for anything ranging from dyes to spellbooks.

It was also just included to put up a full listing of the item sections we had.


Please update the information for C4 manor system.



I would love to. Wanna write a guide?

This is the problem, in C3 we had a castleowning staffmember with time on their hand to give us info and work on completing it, we don't have that in C4. And the rest of our experiences with the C4 manor system is pretty limited.


Show recipe list of each castle/manor blacksmith



Thats a personal project of mine to do that one, sadly neither the client, korean databases or anything else contains the data on this, so its something that has to be gathered manually for each and every clan hall and castle.

Can't promise when it will be done, but we're working on it, I've compiled a list of all the clanhalls and are going to seek the aid of clan hall owners and castle lords to add and verify the data needed.

Believe me, you're not the first one who have asked for this :)


Put up list of items and prices for Trader and Blacksmith of Mammon.



Already there, look under seven signs section.


Put up list of SA Crystals required to put SA on each weapon, along with fees and costs.



Thats already there, look at the SA section on the site.


Put up crystalization values of S-grade items.



Would love to, but for some reason the files we have don't contain that info. So its something we'll have to get by hand. Feel free to submit any confirmed crystal values.


Put up calculations of costs to generate crystals by fabricating and crushing duel swords.



I am not sure what you're after here, explain please.


Complete information for quests, such as 3rd class transfers.



Well, atm we are probably the fansite with the most information and updated quest guides out there. There's work being done on updating the 1st and 2nd class change quests to C4. The rest are submission based, so apart from Sword Muse and Spectral Dancer, we do not have the remaining 3rd Class Change quests, because someone will have to do them and submit a guide for them.


This is the type of information that I would find useful.



We will strive to accomodate those wishes to the best of our abilities :)

A couple minor issues though. The 2 handed swords listing is missing a divider to seperate it from the one handed section.



Passed that on to Venkman, he'll change that. Good suggestion.


And you seem to have the mini-icons swapped for the Orcish Polearm and the Orcish Halberd.



They seem to be fine to me. We get the icons extracted from the game, so there's little chance of error on those (except they can be missing).
Nice job!

Might want to double check that one. The site here only shows the Orcish Poleaxe and not the Orcish Halberd. (Not updated to that yet I guess.)

But it does show that the Poleaxe is the big red hatchet thing, (C grade, so I've seen it more than the Poleaxe) therefore the Orcish Poleaxe must be the thing that looks kinda like a reversed Tallum glaive as all the other icons appear to be correct.

I'd offer to help out...but I can never figure the links out to submit anything!

not sure but i think ew-b is missing in the list of the items from mammon trader ;)

Thats already there, look at the SA section on the site.


that sa list isn't complete; all s grade weapons and the c & b grade weapon who got sa in c4 are missing (but sa's are listed when u look up the weapon in the libery ....)

ahm i think the orcish helberd doesn't exist ingame .... because there are only 2 a grade polearms; helberd (low a), tallum glaive (high a)

the icon at the libery here on lineage.com is wrong. it's the pre-c3 icon of the weapon, because with c3 ncsoft changed the look of that weapon and with it the icon ;)
Thx nice work there, now it will be more perfect if there is a L2 Guide Book somewhere...

not sure but i think ew-b is missing in the list of the items from mammon trader



It is, like all other seven sign sections only updated to C3.


that sa list isn't complete; all s grade weapons and the c & b grade weapon who got sa in c4 are missing (but sa's are listed when u look up the weapon in the libery ....)



Also only C3, its on our to-do list. The SA's are listed under the weapons themselves.
pretty sad that a Fansite is unbelievably better than the official site,
i mean cant NCSOFT hire some darn web designers??????????

Grats LC, very good site, i use it often.
As per request, we have divided the weapons into one and two handed weapons, this goes for all of them, even Hero weapons.

A few bugs were fixed along the way too, including an overlooked issue that bow MP usage wasn't shown in detailed view.

Enjoy and thanks again to Venkman for fixing this up.
To be fair, NCSoft does have a great design on their site, and very good info up to C3 and they have the C4 content list as well. They've done a great job with that.

Hopefully they'll add full C4 content soon or help fansites get the information easier, because there are some information that is either very difficoult or incredibly hard for us to get.

Please update the information for C4 manor system. Show screenshots of thew c4 manor turn-in and of how lords can set up the manor.

I putup the info for one castle (the one I owned) initially when launching the manor section. Then I asked other castle owning clans to submit their info. Across almost all servers, castle owning clans submitted information. That's how we got the information last time. I asked for people to submit the updated information for Chronicle IV and I received 0 e-mails containing the information (some e-mailed me saying they would but never did). I don't know if its because they developed their own tools, found ours pointless, didn't want to publish the information, or were just lazy, but nobody did this time. Because of NCSoft's policy with disclosing game information to fansites, there isn't there's no other way for us to get this information except from the playerbase and the castle owners. So sorry, but there's not much we can do at this point about it :)

just a little correction ....

it seems to me that NCNA doesn't like to give out any game infos at all compared to NC Korea ....
i was a bit surprised when they improved the library section after c3 launch (but it's still nothing compared to the info's u can find on the official korean site ....) :eek:

PS: <3 Hellrose for all her translations of the korean stuff :D
Cool thing :)

Just one request ... please, could you be so kind to update SA list to reflect C4 changes?

Cool thing :)

when u check the weapon in the library sa's are listed .... it's just the overall overview who isn't up-to-date ;)
Yeah yeah, I was talking about the summary R-G-B table.

Cool thing :)

Just one request ... please, could you be so kind to update SA list to reflect C4 changes?



Yes, we will. The list also contains the error of only having the general SA listed and not the actual SA (which is a big problem with Focus and Haste SA for instance which has varying effects depending on the weapon)

It will be updated with C4 weapons(including S-grade) and proper SA's soon.
LC, would it be possible if when you list the areas you also put the quest for those area's
EX:
Forest of Outlaws
Quests
then the mobs
Something like that.

So sorry, but there's not much we can do at this point about it :)



Sure there is, if you actually want to. It's not like the castles are gone.

I dunno what you've tried, but a public request for information obviously won't yield what your looking for. You need a more targetted inquiry since you're after non-public information concentrated in the hands of a small number of people.
What would it be used for? most quests start in towns or have parts that run in a different area than where you get the quest sometimes.

It shouldn't be terribly hard to add if needed, though they should be below monsters.
Basically, people want to know where they can hunt at their level, and what quests they can pickup along the way.

Someone who's hunting in an area might be able to look up the drop tables for the mobs they see nearby, but there's no easy way to tell whether those mobs are part of a quest.

You'd have to read all the quest descriptions to find that information, right?
Yes, but there's currently no way to tie anything but the starting location of a quest into the zones. So apart from the listing you see under quest, we can't give more information.

We have been toying around making a system where every quest step in the quests would be actual database entries and be tied into zones, monsters and items. But we'd be talking 291 Quests times 15-30+ steps for each, it would just be too much of a collossal work to do.

Perhaps at some point, when better staffed (or have chewed through a good pile of our current workload) we will revisit the idea.
