Welcome Trevelyan!

 

[Lord Frodo]

The Paladin
700 points, no Powerscrolls
100 Swordsmanship
100 Tactics
100 Anatomy
100 Magic Resistance
100 Chivalry
100 Healing
100 Parrying or 100 Lumberjacking
(total skill points 700)

720 points, Powerscrolls – Parry/Lumberjacking
120 Swordsmanship
100 Tactics
100 Anatomy
100 Magic Resistance
80 Chivalry
100 Healing
100 Parrying or 100 Lumberjacking
(total skill points 700)

If you have 720 points, why did you drop Chiv to 80?

 

[Trevelyan]

Oops should be updated now. 120 Parry would have to drop it (and I think 120 parry is probably more beneficial than 120 tactics or anatomy as a guide) and for a lumber, well, you could go with either tactics or anatomy. Or do whatever else.

Is there a reason Night Eyes, Slither, Venom, etc are not on the SA Artifacts page? Are you considering those Peerless artifacts? Not sure why, but on the arties page linked, the link to Peerless artifacts was dead.

Great list! Any chance there could be a toggle for Garg-only and human/elf arties? Usually when I am looking on this soert of page it is for ideas to upgrade a suit. If I could to exclude viewing those arties that aren't applicable that would be very cool.

[Petra Fyde]

sorry, yes they're peerless artifacts. Link now fixed.
Toggle for gargoyle only? erm. I'll have to think about that one and see who's brain I can pick about coding that.

Petra, I did a search for one of the peerless artifacts from ML, and while it's in the "peerless artifact" section, it's not showing up in an "item catalogue" search. Suggest that the Peerless Artifact section get moved in with the rest of the item, in terms of being part of the search parameters.

Also, if you search for an item with an apaostraphe in the name (like the Jackal's Collar") you get this error (though if you just put in "collar" it will show up)-

SELECT * FROM item_itemtype, item_gameitem WHERE item_gameitem.Public = 1 AND item_gameitem.Name LIKE '%Jackal's Collar%' AND item_itemtype.ID = item_gameitem.MainCategory ORDER BY item_itemtype.Name, item_gameitem.Name, item_gameitem.SubName
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's Collar%' AND item_itemtype.ID = item_gameitem.MainCategory ORDER BY item_item' at line 1

The Melisande's corroded hatchet ends up with BOTH these issues (not searchable, even by "Hatchet", and if you put "Melisande's" in the Item Catalogue search, you get the same error type as the Jackal's collar)

I've had an issue with apostrophes in descriptions in the item database. Anything I've edited recently disappears from view if the description has an appostrophe in it, it appears to be picking it up as stray .php coding.
