Nostalrius Item DB and Talent Calc

[KingBoogaloo]

Dear Nostalrius Staff,

I greatly enjoy playing on your server but like most people I also make use of external ressources like item databases, talent calculators etc.

For PvP rankings and such I enjoy realmplayers.com a lot but the various sites for item DBs and calculators are not really to my liking. I am never sure if the stat values I see are equal to Nostalrius and if the patch version is the same.

So I was wondering if it is possible to create those two services based on your items, your talents and so on, to make sure what we look up is 100% equal to what we will find in-game on Nostalrius.

Talents are the same as if we were in 1.12.1 (which technically we are). At this point there are so many databases that a Nostalrius specific one would be pointless. Barring a few removed or change items (which are doing to be added/fixed soon), there would be no difference between us and other Blizz-like vanilla servers unless Nostalrius screwed up somewhere.

Hi Bioness,

That is good to know but from what I see neither vanillagaming nor feenix have proper ItemDB pages - they look like wowhead but they lack a lot of the functionality. A simple example would be that I cannot select an instance and see which items drop there - I only see the Quests that are connected to the instance.

For the talent calculator - right now neither vanillagaming nor wowprovider is reachable - so there is none. Having something like this hosted by Nostalrius / Realmplayers would greatly increase access to it in my opinion.

Plus providing own ressources is kinda making this an even better package than it already is.
