popps - do you know how many hundreds of items there are ingame? And that's discounting marties, arties, heritage stuff and the like.
Well, if we count in also "custom made" items (i.e. crafted or imbued) then yes, their number grows esponentially but when I think of the item Catalogue I only think of the items released into the game as artifacts and of some relevance.
The goal is to provide to the player a tool where a player who feels the need to cover certain modifiers, can easily search down all of the major items (artifacts and special items) that carry those modifiers for the slots needed at a level high enough to look usefull and then fill the gaps with custom crafted or imbued items.
But the starting point usually is around certain pieces and these pieces are chosen because of certain modifiers that are wanted.....
So, the starting point should be a database where players can search for what items have the modifiers they most are interested in.
I really like the Stratics'
Special Items Listed By Property
Items Listed by Property: Index
The only problem is that it is not complete, only a few modifiers are linked, and I am not sure whether it is up to date with the most current new items.
Perhaps creating a connection between this page and the Stratics' "Items Catalogue" could solve the problem and complete the "Special Items Listed By Property" database ?
