uhm, let's say i need saberxsaber ( the dual sword )
on the general search i write "saber" and i find what i need.....than i click the link to watch at the reagents i need to make that sword, and i see i need X Crystal: D Grade........so i click on the Crystal D Grade's link to see where can i find it or what npc sell it.....
strange explanation but my enlish is horrible.....
understand what i'm trying to say? :P
the **warehouse site isnt allowed because it encourages you to run its third-party software program (it doesnt do anything but sniff packets but it is Technichally third party software and so is bannable) the **fun website has lots of useful information, its actually so useful that it provides information for things that only exist on private servers.
it would be nice, if the OFFICIAL site had some useful informaton on it, so that the other sites wouldnt even be worth mentioning. they are working on it but its a slow process.
You can get that information ingame... can't understand why you'd need some website to tell you some simple stuff that is easily available ingame. Go talk to a blacksmith npc and he will tell you what you need to make the dual swords.
so there's no database that can satisfy my previous exemple about the forging of the dual blades and the crystal d grade needed?
Not that I know of currently. You can find the items needed to craft it and how many d-grade crystals each weapon gives if you crush them. But there's no info on where to get d-grade crystals per se, those you have to get by buying from PCs or crushing/blowing existing d-grade equipment.
so there's no database that can satisfy my previous exemple about the forging of the dual blades and the crystal d grade needed?
I do not think there is a database for that anywhere on the web, because there is no need for one in this particular case. You just go to the blacksmith and he tells you what you need to make the duals, and there is no database to tell you where to get D crystals, because the simple answer to that is "crush D grade items", so no need to put that on a website :)
If you actually want to craft an item (as opposed to just putting two swords together to make some duals), that's something else of course. The crafting recipes are available either on this official website here ("library" in the menu on the left hand site - but not all current recipes are there, and some of the numbers there are a bit off), or go to the warehouse site which you probably have already received in a pm by now. That one also can tell you things like "what can I craft from the stuff I have in my warehouse right now?" or "what do I have to buy in addition to what I already have in my wh to craft item x?". And of course it can tell you which mobs to kill to get a particular item or material.
I used to consider Warcry's database on the monsters in L2 to be quite useful. Sadly, I don't think it's been updated since C4, so its usefulness is fading.
