Hey, I was wondering where the wiki got its data for all its weapons and armors. Looking at the history, it seems like it was filled by various people, as opposed to somebody who extracted everything himself from the game. I was wondering how you guys did it back when you did.

Would you happen to know of a raw database lying around? Or how to build one, or how to extract data directly from the game (PC)?

In particular, I've seen a couple pages that seemed out of date. Given I'm revamping most of these tables, I thought it'd be smarter to re-fresh the data, rather than re-use older data.

BTW, I'm almost done with the armor boxes. I was thinking of moving straight on to "unique" (read Dragon, Demon or Twinkling) weapons. I'll have to put in a little more work to get a nice tabbed version going for the rest of the weapons. I'll use the exact same look as the new armor tables, and the same layout as the old weapon boxes. I'll also remove the collapsing. I'll let you have a looksee/go-ahead before starting of course.

But back to the original question, I'd rather use fresh data, than just regex the old pages, but I'll make do with what I have of course.

TY.
