    Site with filterable item lists?

    Sorry for the noobish question, I'm just getting back into the game again after taking a year off, so I'm way behind. Before I quit, somepage used to be the best place to go for item information, but I heard some talk about some keylogger-related trouble there, and it doesn't seem to have any items from the newest update, so I assume it's not really being updated any more.

    Anyway, I'm trying to sort out all the new gear that has come out since I quit, to figure out what pieces I should be aiming for. Basically what I'm looking for is a site with functionality equivalent to somepage's item search, where I can do something like "show me all body armor for MNK level 1-75 that has Accuracy on it".

    Thanks.

    I hate to admit it, but I use Alla for that. Things like 'all body armor that a MNK can wear', then if I'm looking for something like ACC I just use Firefox's search function (ctrl-F).

    It's not a great way of doing it, but I don't know of better.

    FFXIAH also has a power search feature that will do this...

    ffxiah does ALMOST everything i want for this type of search, but i've noticed if you check multiple job boxes it treats them as OR instead of AND, meaning you can't easily search for the sometimes rare items which can be used by more than one job.

    (i know i could explain this better but i just woke up. if its confusing ppl i'll give it another shot later)

    afaik; every item site for FFXI with a public filter does this. if you asked nicely you might be able to get the item db from the ffxiah admins and run your own queries!

    anyway - only other downside to FFXIAH's filter system is that it limits returns to 100 items.

    Had a question regarding FFXIAH. Couldn't find it by search so it's probably not even true...
    I vaguely remember someone saying something about FFXIAH not being safe, like somepage.
    Can anyone confirm whether this is true or not?

    Also, I believe someone was talking about a Firefox Plugin that would get rid of such risks, that blocked something? No Script i believe? Where can i download this?

    Thanks

    Pretty sure ffxiah requires scipts to be running in order to work, and that it's so far never posed a security threat.
