So, EQTraders has been down for over a week, I think. I've been playing on Fangbreaker and man I'm missing that site. I'm trying to play a char using only the loot I get or items I make myself and I can't remember the low level combines. I've been using teh Project 1999 page for some things, but itlacks the comprehensive nature of EQTraders. I have not seen anything posted about it returning, and if it does not, that's really going to cut into my ability to TS.
 
UPDATE: You can try the Wayback Machine link, but it's very hit or miss on what works.


eqprogression and Almars Gudies both have sections on leveling up trade skills for TLP's

EQProgression - Click the three-bar icon top right and then select the relevant tradeskill from the drop-down.

Almar's TLP Guides

Bonzz also has good guides, but not TLP specific

Then, as Chat said, Allakhazam's problem with it is that it uses current tradeskills, so some things are going to be very different on TLP.

just an FYI
Ngreth's wife is the one who owns the site.

Denmum posted on the EQ2 boards the other day:

“Something caused a previously-fine PHP script to blow up yesterday and brought the whole thing down. No ETA as our coder (my hubbyogre) has had a busy work week, and can only tackle it during his finite time off. As soon as we can get it back up, we will.”

wonder if alla is behind the ddos attacks on eqtraders to drive up more alla premium subs

Anyone have any thoughts on ShareCraft or even heard of it?
When EQTraders went down I saw this being talked about.
I noticed the site isn't secure though so I'm a bit cautious I suppose.
I can post a link to the site if asked but didn't want to just go throwing
unsecured site links around.

They have posted that they will fix it "when they have time" I think some one let automatic updates pwn them.
I just fired up a premium ZAM sub until EQTC is back up.

Works pretty well

ShareCraft is great and has a lot of tools that go along with it.

 
IMO, Allakhazam premium is totally worth the $10/year just to get rid of the ads, but as a guide to skill ups, I have not found it very useful... Though you can look up recipes, it is just not as handy as what EQ Traders Corner is. I will really miss that if it is gone for good. But I won't miss all those popup ads they had.

worth it? yes.... better than eqtraders for tradeskills? absolutely not.

Yes, I just got it and it is absolutely worth $9 a year. Still, EQTraders is such a treasure. I hope it comes back.
 
It's maintained by a solo dev that works at Darkpaw
They posted on reddit/facebook they are aware and plan to fix it "soon"
 
Speaking as soneone who has gotten bitten in the past by a PHP upgrade the host forces on you, there is not much they can do about it once the host decides the older version is too riddled with security flaws to let reside on their servers. It's painful, but part of the job when supporting websites.
