FFXIVArchives.com database launch

[Swampthing]

Something that no website I'm aware of has that I've been scouring for information on is what craft is required to repair a given item. It would really be an excellent thing to add to an item's page.

I've been to every site I know of and can't find info on what craft repairs PUG arms, more specifically the level 1 Weathered Hora. I'm just going to have to try each craft 1 by 1 until I figure it out myself but this seems like necessary info to have on a db website.

Goldsmithing repairs the Lvl 1 Pugilist Weapon.

I repaired mine with a Bone Chip +1 last night and it gained 64% durability (back to 100%!) at level 6 GS.

Its a nice looking site, but I browsed the recipes so far I notice you guys are really dropping the ball on mentioning the sub crafts required for many recipes as well as recommended training (ie; hat making). Yellow Gremlin is stepping it up and posting all the subcrafts and the training recommended, if you guys want to compete, you need to be more thorough.

I should have come back and mentioned it since I figured it out on my own but, for the record, I was able to repair my Weathered Hora to full dura without any prior Goldsmithing. Bought the tools, equipped them, and repaired successfully. Now I just carry all crafting tools on my person always. But hopefully this information gets added to the db sites.

YG's recipe base is off. A lot of their synths are based off of beta and they're wrong now. I have to use the Loadstone to get accurate synth levels.

They seem to be updating it very often. Lodestone is nice too, but they only got to level 30 and they don't give the stats on the item your making.

Is lodestone the official SE site or something?

Yup, and it's surprisingly nice.


Also, a bug I'm running into with Archives on IE8 lately (don't ask me why I'm on IE...). When I am on a different tab like "COMMUNITY" with a menu of "News/Forums/Members/etc" I click on "DATABASE" and the menu changes to "Items/Crafts/Abilities/etc." without changing the content of the page I'm still on. That's fine and normal I think... It's just that when I mouse-over the menu names, the dropdown menus are separated from the menu names a little bit by a gap. Thus, when I roll my cursor down to the dropdown menu, I hit that gap and the dropdown vanishes. The only way around it is to click on a menu name to change the main content to Items/Crafts/Abilities/etc. then, the dropdowns don't have gaps.

Hi Miya,

We're aware of this but been very busy with release data and new features. I'll get that fixed as soon as possible.

[Kurokikaze]

Site has been working well for the most part. Keep up the good work.

Strange, on Firefox and IE, all I get is a big blank page where nothing loads at all. I have java and everything enabled. Any other reason for this?

[SephYuyX]

Zam is still the only database that lists the shield/sentinal abilities lol.

[Ksandra]

not to complain but archives really needs to sit down and and least update their recipes via lodestone, and stop having multiple recipes for the same thing.

Example of what I'm talking about:

http://db.ffxivarchives.com/item/8010711

two recipes for willow half-mask one claiming 1 wind crystal and 2 earth shards, another for 2 wind crystals and 1 earth shard

When even on lodestone it lists the recipes as 2 earth shards and 2 wind shards (I can also verify I made it and this was the case).


Yg's skill levels are all fucked up but they seemed to be pretty efficient at fixing mistakes. And everything listed on lodestone is the same on yg.

I have to say that too many of these recipes has made me not trust archives as a good source for crafting info. I mostly use yg then gauge the actual crafting level through lodestone.

[Crizto]

I'd really love it if DB could be the wiki for this game, but yeah right now there is a big issue with the recipes

[xavia75]

Sadly it its tough to stay on top of so many user submitted recipes with such a small team, yg certainly has the manpower advantage over us ; ;

[Uzor]

What about a script to automatically remove a recipe if it gets too many negative votes? I've seen a few recipes with dozens of recipes for the same item, whereas most of them except the correct one have a lot of negative votes, but they still show up on the site.

This already exists, but to avoid abuse there's a threshold in place.

You'll see our recipes cleaned up and expanded to the same level and yg, it's just going to take a touch longer then them.

[Kirbyprime]

Just wondering, is there still plans to put an API in place? I've been trying out YG's JSON API but their is limited to basic lookup at the moment and it doesn't look like they have anything to list all items etc which kind of limits how useful it can be.

I would like to thank the FFXIV Archives team for being Guildwork's provider for FFXIV item data.

Example: http://currahee.guildwork.com/ & http://currahee.guildwork.com/dkp/#/...a50000ff/loot/

They have by far the cleanest database out of anyone.

Great job guys!

Thank you, I just signed up a second ago to use your site. I've been using this site for almost everything so far... keep up the good work.
