Excellent work, Nilandia. I use your site quite often, keep up the good work.

[MrFeature]

Your website sucks just for using geocities.

[Jahira]

What is this site? Don't think I have ever been.

[Snapp]

It's the one in her sig, Jahira. Nice site, by the way. :thumbsup:

Heh. It's 15 megs, completely free. When I first started, I had no idea what I was doing. Now, I'm just set in my ways.

Not to mention I still don't know websites too well. ;)

RSN stuff tomorrow!

Looks interesting, but I do want to make sure I'm the only person who can change my data. I don't want people going in and messing with stuff so incorrect information gets out.

I guess I'm possessive, too, in a way.

I will admit that I hate ads and such. I guess I'll start poking around.

I was gonna suggest offering a sub-domain for ya, gratis. The Nilandia site taught me about 90% of the things I needed to know about returning to Gemstone after my hiatus.

Ulimited bandwidth! ...too a point...

[Nilandia]

That'd be very sweet if you did. The site is pretty much all text, so it doesn't take up much space. U2U, IM or e-mail me with details, if you want.

[Fallen]

Exactly what type of help do you want with your site, Nilandia? Simply cross-checking info you have up there to see if it is correct? Anything specific you could name?

[Miss X]

You seriously rock for doing all of this Nilandia! I give the address to most of the novices I work with when mentoring, it really helps a lot! If you need help with anything, even just gathering information, let me know. :heart:

[Amaron]

Smooch NIlandia I always use your site when working with new players.


I am a novice site creator but would help you anyway I could. You know that!

I've given Nilandia's link out more times than I can count, ever since she told me about it when GS4 came out.

The info may be the same as play.net for the most part, but it is SO much easier to navigate.

Lately I've been all over the character level chart.

[Nilandia]

I'm on a roll today. I'm just about to dive into November's releases, but here's a list of what's done already. Enjoy!

- Updated documentation of traplore and locklore (403 and 404) on the Minor Elemental spell list.
- Updated documentation of Maelstrom (710) and Torment (718) on the Sorcerer spell list.
- Minor update to the lore interaction with Sonic Shield (1009).
- Added a page on experience absorption changes to the Training page.
- Updated information on the Shields page to include shield autoconverters and base weight.
- Added a note that TP optimization occurs for post-cap characters every 125k experience to the TP Optimization page.
- Added some clarification to the Reallocation Methods page.
- Added the guide to enchanting to the Spells page, linked to the spell on the Wizards circle page.
- Added links to the Charge Item and Enchanting guides to the Wizard professions page.
- Squished a pesky bug with one of the formulas on the Combat Factors page.
- Added information on Illusions and demons and justice to the Sorcerer professions page, Guilds page and linked to the Sorcerer spells page.
- Removed teleportation information from the professions pages and created a separate page for it from the Spells page.
- Added links to teleportation information from Major Spirit, Minor Spirit, Wizard and Bard spells pages.
- Added a note that Survival helps keep people from falling on the trail to Icemule, added to Skills and relevant professions pages.
- Created a page with a list of all possible familiars, linked to Spells and Wizard spells pages.

By the by, most of the information is available on the official website, but not all. You don't find a guide on using runestones on the official site, for example. I'm constantly board cruising, looking for info. I know I don't get it all, but I try.

For people asking how to help, the number one way to help is to check what's up and see if it's correct. Number two is to keep an eye out while you're reading the boards for any information, official or player-source, that could be of interest. I'd rather have to cut out information that isn't needed than not have enough.

Current projects, aside from catching up with the latest releases, are documents on the justice system and StormFront. Feel free to send me your input!

Just had another update that I stuck in before I head off on RSN stuff.

- Added the updates to Warrior Guild skills to the Guilds and Warrior professions pages. Thanks to Shakrean and Menos for their help!

Hey Nilandia, I was checking out the chart with the new and old creature levels.. someone told me soul golems are 63, and it says 48 on your chart. I can't access play.net from here to check, but I thought I'd let you know, since i have no idea who's right :)

[Nilandia]

I had it wrong. I'll fix it up in just a sec. Thanks!

Nilandia

[Czeska]

Welcome!

[Nilandia]

Listing is fix0red as of a few hours ago, btw. Just in case you're curious.

For those that have sigs turned off, why not post a link at least on the thread who's sole purpose is to discuss the page.

Great site, there were a lot of things I learned since I wasn't around when GS4 came out. Thanks for putting up the info!

[Nilandia]

Anywho, I've been working on the merchant list lately. While the updates are most likely not easy to find given the size of the file, I've been concentrating my work on the Ebon Gate 2004, using logs supplied to me by Vyrshkana. I've also been incorporating Vyrshkana's item lists from previous festivals.

All who are interested may find the merchant list at http://www.geocities.com/claidh_evremond/merchants.htm

My bandwidth gets overloaded quickly, though, so if you get a message that you can't access it, wait a while and try again later. (I think this is when I start looking around for a different server, no?)

As a side note, you'll notice that the text is in color. That is on purpose. I make the lists for each individual festival a different color to make finding which festival you're looking at a little easier.

[Nilandia]

Small-ish type update, but a major step for me.

Welcome to http://www.nilandia.com/

No more ads! And I can host my own durned merchant list without worrying about bandwidth.

As of now, the information hasn't been updated since my last update, but I have reorganized things a bit. I've combined lores and spells into one "Magic" page and streamlined the display on the magic page.

Been spending most of my time these days working on my merchant list, which reminds me. Send me merchant item information! Anything as simple as a weight, inspect, assess (mind out of the gutter PLEASE), weapon or armor bonus, script, anything, just gimme! I'd love to make my records more complete.

Too bad you didn't get Yahoo webhosting or I could have been your personal technical support. :(
