It's been a while, thanks everyone for your patience! There's still plenty to do, but I wanted to get as much as I could out there before the Easter event started!
First up, a quick shout out to the following people who were monumentally helpful in helping me gather the data needed for this, especially around the upgrades
- Dommino, SkywalkerOG, Mystiq, Vanshini, LordGuy, Azad, Lunox, Aksana, Bulla, Medicus
Thanks guys <3
Now for the meat and potatoes
Upgrade Quests
I KNOW you guys wanted this, I get asked about it daily. There's still a few gaps but I've got pretty much everything covered now. Much of the data was gathered by simply searching AH every day, looking at every character in every town every day, and checking shops of course. Anything that just didn't show up anywhere, I made myself. My stocks of materials are done, it's been fun but at least they went to a good cause! The gaps that exist are mostly easy to guess, but I'm not doing any guessing here, every number you see on this page I've seen myself in-game. If you have any of the items that aren't shown please let me see them and I'll update it.
I've also been trying to note exactly which mobs drop each thing, not just what maps, that still has some work to do but I'll keep going with it.
Also yes, the colours of the stats are the exact hex codes from the game, go-go-gadget-autism.
Click on any of the requirements at the top of any table to see a popup showing how to get them.
Lists - Sets/Weapons/Armours/Stones
These have all been updated with the latest stuff and all the event stuff I could find. There are a couple of event items that I've never been able to find, if you have something that isn't on the list please do let me know!
Eldric Library Maze Enhancement
It seems some people were a bit confused by the map I made, sorry, but it's the best you're going to get.
I think it makes sense, but for the people who don't, I made a cheat sheet to help you quickly navigate to where you want to be without worrying about understanding it
Other Maps
I have adjusted the maps page to an accordion style because it was too much scrolling, click on the map you want to expand the section down and reveal it
Maps added: Desert Tunnel, Tomb of the Dead, Hellweavers Labyrinth
Was planning to add West Bichon too before this post but haven't got round to it yet, might do that soon
Open to other suggestions, if a request is popular I'll probably do it
Hellmouth Boss Rotations
On this page there is a list of the rotation order of each of the bosses
The three doors don't appear to be linked in any way. They'll occasionally change at around the same time but I believe that's just random chance. It is my belief that they switch after 100 kills, but that is not yet proven.
I do want to make a point here about level 4 spells. I am a big fan of ensuring only verified data goes on my site, I don't do guesswork and I don't trust anything I haven't seen with my own eyes. I already had half the level 4 spells before I thought of recording which bosses gave which, so I'll never be able to get that data accurately enough to put on my site. There are other places to get that information if you want a "close enough" guide, search the forum
Socket Calculator
Previously, the calculator that tells you which sockets are best to use for your current setup was very rigid and assumed only +10 or 1% sockets
The new version lets you choose, giving you more flexibility to suit your budget
Give it a spin!
Arena Tips
Many years ago, when all this was fields, I wrote a guide for Dragons members to follow when doing arena
I figured it's been long enough now, might as well just make it public, so here you go
Different guilds will do things differently, of course, but this covers pretty much all a new player will need to understand what's going on in there
There's no header/navigation on the page because it was intended for screenshotting and I couldn't be bothered to change it
Cave Levels
This is the one thing that I'm gutted isn't going to be in this release.
I didn't want to just do a boring update on the table with a few new caves, I wanted to fully revamp this, with a full survey of mobs, which floors of each cave they are on, what level ranges they all are, what can be tamed, what can be turned, element strengths/weaknesses, all that jazz. Spent about a week on it then realised it was about 1% done. So I've put this one on the back burner for now and will give it a re-think down the line.
Miscellaneous
The user count thing at the top kept breaking every time the game server was rebooted. I've made an adjustment so it should be more robust now.
Various links around the site pointed to forum posts and other things that ended up broken over time, mostly because the forum got updated software that changed the format of all the links. I believe these are all now fixed. If you spot any links that are still not working please let me know and I'll get them sorted
API
I've reworked the way the site stores data, rather than just lazy html tables, it's all data-driven now and runs off a series of JSON files. The primary reason for this was to make it easier for myself for future updates, but a side-effect is that the data is all now in an easy to use format for anyone who wants to produce any other tools or websites or anything. If that sounds like something you might want to do, then check this out. All I ask is that you give me appropriate credit where the data is used
Thanks everyone again for your patience.
I'd love to hear any feedback, positive or negative! Any comments are appreciated

I have also updated the mob lists on the map page, thanks to Beebo for pointing out something I had missed there, eagle eye!

this info update is honestly very helpful for a lot of old and new content. Sometimes we get confused where things are, what upgrade items we need or simply what lvl 4 spell bosses are out or coming out. Cheers Zade, on behalf of brat guild
