Hi, This functionality is still there. Under Browse Database select Target and then you can browse by expansion, then zone, then specific named exactly like the old database.

One of the new features, and the thing that can seem a little confusing at first is one of the new inteligent browse functions that has been added. When there is only a single option that can be selected the database is set up to automatically open that and any subsequent tiers with only a single option for you (For example seclecting The Execution Throne Room under instances will automatically open the Pawbuster filter as he is the only named in the zone). you can still see all the information about the route that was opened such as target, zone and expansion just above the loot pictures.

Aditionally if you click on the item picture itself a page opens which shows you full information about the item, and also gives you the ability to report any errors that you might find.

Took a look into the tier breakdowns this this morning. I have broken the raids into their relevant tier filters and the zones should now list as applicable. Went this way as the sugested prefixes made the zone list look a bit messy.

Let us know what you think!

Ya know you might not be lookin at the right spot, i think initially I was viewing what you were, but if you get in the right area it is a real similiar display to what you were used to seeing, with tabs, listing zones and mobs, and now tiers.... yay!

And another quick update, the final child selections in a tree now stay in their own tab so you can flick between targets like before, rather than adding to the parent route tab.

No longer any need to go back on yourself when browsing a zone

We have made a couple more updates since my last post.

Top Contributors to the database can now be viewed from the front page of the database! Once you have submitted an item and it has been aproved (i.e. its not a duplicate of an item already in the database, and the information is correct) by one of our admin team it is added to your tally. The top 5 database contributors will be displayed on this list.

We have an active list of pending items that have been recovered from logs and require "White" screenshots (This means you can use the item and therefore any procs/abilities on the item are displaying correctly). We welcome all contributions from the EQ2 community through the database's new functionality.

If you want to take part and contribute to the database then the red items list is a great place to start. Simply sign up to the Xanadu site Here and you will gain the ability to upload items yourself. For a guide to using the upload functionality, and some guidance on the sort of screenshots we want see the post Here.
