Announcement: New & Improved Skill Listing

Ellestar & Sarus have been hard at work creating a new skill listing, it is much more user-friendly than the previous version and it is quite likely the most useful listing around. Check it out here

If you have any comments, suggestions and/or bugs to report; feel free to post them in this thread.

Just wanted to give a 'kickass' on what Ellestar & Sarus have done.

WOW!!!!!!

that's really cool, and I really like it a lot.

Good work guys

I love it!

I'll caution everyone that our skill descriptions are not entirely accurate at the moment. Most of the information should be correct but some things appear to have changed since the BWE (For example, Resurrection Signet now revives someone at 100% health and 25% energy. I've also heard reports that it has a staggeringly huge hidden recharge time of ten to fifteen minutes but I haven't been able to confirm that at all - it might be that some people were fooled by the automatic recharge when you kill a boss.) when we made our last update but in order to find all those changes we have to hunt down each and every skill. As always, trust the in-game information more than you trust us and don't take our word for it. So, if you find a skill that's different from how we have it, please take a screen shot of it in your character's listing and let us know about it so we can make the proper corrections.

That said, the new skill listing is amazing and the amount of effort that Sarus and Ellestar put into it really shows. We're hoping to eventually transform most of our listings into such customizable databases - such as armor, quest, areas, and more - given the decreased importance of skill trainers at this point we're probably going to work on armor next while we get our quest information in good order. So please do give us some feedback so we know what's working and what's not because we'll be expanding on this soon. But for now, there's this little game that just came out and I think we're going to have some fun with it...

No those reports were not exaggerated. I thought it was just me, but when it happened every time I used the thing last nite...well...

Very impressive! I'd love to see a character builder on this site to go along with that.

Funny you should mention that....

But there are other character builders out there, so right now our priority is to make our other listings as accessable as we can especially as any character builder will benefit from drawing on any such databases. It's in the works but there are some other things to get done first.

This is a very nice tool. Very impressed. GJ.

It was about time. Good work!

Great listing, congratulations, and thank you.

Cheers.

One minor suggestion, can you link to the old individual skills rather than the new ones? Using the new skill listing, if we click on an individual skill, all we see is a new page with the exact same info, as opposed to a listing of the trainers, bosses, and/or builds concerning the skill.

I found those extra lists to be really helpful.

We're working on getting the links back up for the new skills system. The reason we don't want to link to the old pages is because those won't be updated anymore (the new system runs off a database).

the only use i would get from a database like this is if it included which quests/mobs the skills were aquired from...trainers too i guess as a last resort, but under the new system most people will try to get skills by questing or capturing.

Im not sure if this is a good thread for bugs, but the main site direct to this thread. Anyway the devour eggs relate quests need to be fix, Pigny(whatever his name was) took both of my eggs. So I ended up unable to do Mac's (the farmer) quest. Second "The Wayward Monk" quest was a also a mess. I was unable to find Mhenlo and the green arrow directed me to the mine portal but once I went through there is no more arrow. Plus Cynn does not follow through the portal.
Last comment: the quest arrow really need improvements I was unable to find Althea's Ashes with that. It point to a zone and once I went through no more arrows. In addition, I experience few lags during the game. So please fix those... I really want to get the 3 skills for the Wayward Monk quest

This is the thread for bugs with the Skill Listing I believe ;-) Anyway Althea's ashes quest lacks green arrow intentionally. But if you just go to the same place where you found her ghost, there's a Charr Altar over there. That's the place. I did all the Ascalon area quests by myself with two henchies and without any problem.

I just finished Althea's ashes but I cant seem to get Wayward Monk because everytime I talk to Cynn there is an arrow but once I go through the mine no more arrow and she is not on the other side like people said she suppose to be.

That's awesome folks!

Now all we need is info as to where and from whom the myriad skills can be acquired. Add that, and you'll have a truly complete list in every respect.

In my experience people are more interested in obtaining a skill, than reading about it. Once they have it, they can read the description themselves.

I know where I got every skill I have. I'd be happy to provide whatever information I have, if you guys want to make the listing more comprehensive.

Anyway, let me reiterate that that's very good work. I just wanted to mention areas by which you may further improve an already great listing. Keep up the good work.

I just wanted to say that this is an amazing site. Great info and member involvement. There are awesome ideas going around in the forums and i think it is just very well done.

Congrats to everyone who helped make this site what it is and a huge thanks to you all. Keep up the good work!
