EQ2KB.com (EQ2 Knowledge Base stopped
updating for months now. The owner of the site quit eq2 due to
crafting changes. I tried to contact her but email address doesn't
work. On the website it permits anyone to use the pictures and
information as long as they give credit and a link to eq2kb. So
rather then taking a very long time redoing everything, and since I
can't get in contact with the owner, I'm going to have to manually
apply/transfer those images and info over to my site and update it.
At this time the only big furniture site with pictures is EQ2Traders
but they only offer crafted decor.
I need lots of help so if you want,
here is what i need:
Images of items need to be cropped or
scaled down to 210x210. The credit stamp needs to be cut out because
it's not the style look of the site. The credit will either be
written under the picture on the website or on the bottom in white
letters with a 30pixel tint banner after the website is ready for the
pictures. The Furniture page will have 4 pictures per row. You can
even take your own original pictures. If you want high textured
pictures, you can bring up options, turn up the textures, (don't have
to hit apply), hit F10 to show no UI, then take the picture. You can
then hit cancel on options if you like.
The filenames have to be renamed in
this format to make things easier:
Key:
<Subject>_<Tier><TierNumber><c
for Common or r for Rare>_-_Item
Example:
Bookcases_Tier04r_-_Archaic_Oak_Bench
Or if you do your own pictures:
Bookcases_Tier04r_-_Archaic_Oak_BenchByJohndoe
If you have time and can do some, just
send me a mail back so I can assign you which to do so volunteers
don't do the same ones twice.
About
the Furniture shop, is located in South
Qeynos at 14 Karana Court across the street from the pet shop. The
shop is owned me, Littlelisa =) There is a crafting workshop that
anyone can feel free to use. At this time there is only mostly crude
crafting tables (Simple Versions) but pristine tables will get put in
when possible. If you need a crude table put in that is not there, or
would like to put in your pristine crafting table feel free to
message me or mail me ingame.
FAQ
I'm often busy with lost of messages so
I put together a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions), compiled of
questions I get asked often.
Crafting/Carpentry
Decorating
Ordering Furniture
1. Crafting/Carpentry
Q:
I'm choosing a crafting profession, do
carpenters make a lot of money?
A:
I get this asked very often. I always heard that carpenters didn't
make much money, but I became one anyway. I didn't become a
carpenter for money. I choose carpentry because when tried all the
crafting professions I thought this one would be most fun for me. I
thought I could maybe sell some furniture for a little money in the
process as well. I think it's fun and I love it even more now but I
love EQ2's crafting system. I have done carpentry crafting and
decorating in other games and I like it very much. I do make good
money but it is in no way easy money. It's a lot of hard work.
Q: What
crafting profession makes the most money?
A: There is no crafting
profession that will put you quickly on easy street and on your way
to being the Donald Trump of EQ2. It's been debated back and forth
many times over and over ingame and on the forums. It's all a matter
of opinion but it doesn't really matter. The key is to choose a
profession you are interested in. If you wish to make good money at
it then you will need much ambition, time, and patience. You find a
system that works best for you. You can make money at any crafting
profession if you want to. But if your looking for picking a class
that allows you to craft a couple things, put on broker, and get
rich, crafting isn't your path. Making money thru crafting in this
game is not the quickest way by far. You can make more money faster
by adventuring (including harvesting while doing so). Especially
raiding.
Q: I
decided that crafting is for me, what should I choose?
A: I would recommend you choose
something interesting to you, something you or your alternate
characters or guild can use. Try to pick a profession that your
guild can use and doesn't have too many of already (Unless of course
you have a very strong interest and desire to be that class).
Q: I
want to make some money in my crafting, do you have any tips?
A: Of course, try to make
things that haven't been flooded into the market by the pages in the
broker. Be respectful and nice to people, don't be rude. Earn a good
reputation by being honest and having good service if you do orders.
Meet and talk to people (Network).
Decorating FAQ
Q: My
new house needs decorating, do you decorate on commission?
A: Yes, I'm also a decorator,
and have owned and decorated houses in Sims 1, Sims 2, Sims Online.
I have also owned, decorated, and crafted furniture/decor in Ultima
Online and of course Everquest 2. I also owned an apartment in
Anarchy Online but I didn't spend too long in housing in that game
because I was too new at the time.
Q:
How much would it cost for you to decorate my house?
A: This depends entirely on
the budget your looking for. I've done small budgets 50g to larger
budgets like 10p. Obviously a budget of 50g would only thinly
decorate an inn room with common decor. Everything adds up faster
then some may assume but a smaller budget doesn't mean you get an
ugly house. It's what is done with what you have that counts. I
have customers that start with a smaller budget and then later
slowly add more to there homes and call me back for additions.
Budget
Breakdown:
Small Budget: 50g-1p Common
furniture such as crafted tables & chairs or small bar. This
budget would only be used on an inn room.
Medium Budget: 1p-5p A mix
of mostly common furniture with some rare furniture. Usually done
on inn rooms, 2 room apartments, or 3 room houses.
High Budget: 5p-10p and up.
A good mix of both common & rare furniture. Usually for 3
room houses. Could work for guild hall and manor as well.
Style Breakdown: (In no
particular order)
Grunge & Grime Look (For that messy Troll!)
Evil (For you the evil Freeport influence in your character!)
Pretty
Regular Look (Nothing fancy for me, just need a place to sleep!)
Q:
Do you decorate in Freeport or Qeynos?
A: I live in Qeynos and only
decorate in Qeynos right now, sorries. I do both Qeynos &
Freeport orders though, and do ship to Freeport.
Q: What
is the process? How do you do it?
A: First the customer mails me
their address so I go see the house, and then we talk about what
kind of look they are going for. Sometimes people don't have any
particular look and just have me decorate using my own ideas. I can
do it either way.
Q: How
long does it take?
A: This depends on the
project, the items, and my correct orders and projects. For a small
project it would take 1-3 days. Others can take 4-7 days. All the
crafted decor will be my name brand and crafted by myself. I
sometimes import some noncraftable items from Freeport sometimes,
or buy thru broker, or quest to get them. In those cases it takes
some time for me to get them but the end result is all worth it.
