New item search and more! - News - EQ

News

Apr 9, 2013

This week Magelo turns 12... Yes you read that right, 12 years that we are serving the Everquest community! For the occasion, we wanted to bring you a new version of our Items search, more powerful and easy to use, as well as other new features and improvements.

New item search

The Items section point directly to the new search now.

So the first step to use efficiently the Item search is to select a category using the new navigation system, also known as "breadcrumb", accessible at the top left of any item page. This breadcrumb lets you browse quickly the different item categories and sub-categories (One handed weapons, Augmentations, Shields, ...).

Then, a quick form helps you build basic search such as:
All shields equippable by a barbarian warrior
All shields equippable by a level 90 barbarian warrior
All augmentations equippable by a level 80 wizard and that can fit in a wrist item

Premium members can go even further adding filters to shape their search and weights to score them. All item flags and stats are available as filters and you can create some best in slot lists easily with weights.

Few examples:
Augments usable by warrior, type 7, that have both heroic dexterity and AC, sorted in descending order by amount of heroic dexterity
Armors, you can buy, that have both clairvoyance and heal amount, sorted in descending order by clairvoyance
Bows having an augment slot type 8 with heroic dex and agi sorted by their dps then their heroic dex and agi
Chest armors with a minimum purity of 70, that have both mana and mana regen
Augments usable by ranger using the following weights: 5 for ac, 1 for hp and 0.2 for mana

Some quick filters allow you to access the results split by class, slot and item category.

Finally you can share easily your item search with your friends thanks to a new friendly url.

Other new features and improvements

New item list for vendors and npc drops with quick class/slot/category filters, example: Armorer Jean Wenlaris
New dual tooltip for recipes with produced item on the side of the recipe and ingredients listed one at a time with their icons, example: Illustrious Vicious Symbol of Below
Recipes are now ordered by their trivial level by default
Fixed missing alt currency icons
Fixed class spells / missing spells to filter out spells which are only components of other spells
Cleaned bogus items, recipes and npcs (yes bunnies, I am looking at you...)

We hope you will enjoy those recent improvements! As always, we are waiting for your feedback and suggestions in the forum.

Magelo turns 12 this week and this is not nothing... we are really proud and thankful. Your support has always been the only ingredient we need to stay around. So thank to all our members who decided at what time or another to get premium. We wish to continue this amazing adventure with you for a very long time!
