Welcome to Allakhazam's EQ2 Wikibase

What is a Wikibase?

The flexibility of a wiki with the advanced search capabilities of a database, and we call this new, hybrid animal... Wikibase!

As a new feature at Allakhazam's, there is much work to be done here. Our goal is nothing short of total integration of the traditional database you have grown to love and depend on, with the wiki providing total access to quest descriptions, mob notes, and other helpful information.

Initially, all wiki panels on DB pages will have the text that appeared in the DB, but that is only the starting point! Wiki links can be added to improve site linking of related information. Corrections from the messages section can be used to update the text.

If you see a page with incorrect or incomplete info, you don't have to grumble or email a CM to fix it, just click Edit and do it! YOU have the power, now!

Please keep the wiki text clear, concise and to the point. Chat, comments and general discussion belong in the messages as always! Please see the Guidelines for the wiki-rules!

Bristlebane Day is here!
From now until April 2nd, pranksters all over Norrath will be dusting off their whoopee cushions in honor of Bristlebane. Expect to see many unusual sights and, if you feel so inclined, create a few of your own!
The Shard of Hate (GU44) is coming!
On the heels of Brew Day, or maybe with a little help from all the Everlasting Brew flowing around Norrath, fights have been breaking out all over! Hate seems to be seeping into Norrath, but from where? For a few answers, see the Game Update #44 Preview at EQ2Players!

Latest word is that GU44 and the Shard of Hate are going live on 4/8/2008 with a World Event that will be available to all levels.

Allakhazam EQ2 Dev Chat!
A chat between EQ2 Devs and members of the community was held on Feb. 28. See the log, here.

See the IRC info page for instructions on how to join us for the next one!

Game Update #43 is live!
Game Update #43 went live on 3/4. New shiny and loot rules, more bankers and menders in city zones, more bells for moving around within Qeynos and Freeport, and new tradeskill recipes!
Most Wanted
  • Stubs - list of pages that have little or no content, or are in need of additional content, waiting for a contributor!
  • Character Subclasses - Most of our class info is either blank right now, or copied from EQ2i (which gives us a good starting place). Won't you help round out your class?
  • Now that we are "live" we have alot of work to do. Thanks to the DB and the automatic inclusion of all that, we have alot less to do than a normal wiki startup would have, but the connecting tissue of this wiki is pretty thin right now. I will concentrate on the design and the tools, if you will help provide the content! Deal? - Bludwyng
