Hello fellow players!

I decided to make a handy Medicine Listing. So many times I have wondered “where can I buy that besides on the auction house?” I wanted to make a list that is printable and easily referenced, not to mention convenient (so you don’t have to click on link after link after link after link after link....... to get the desired information). So I used the information from Allakhazam and Somepage to make this list. I will keep adding to it as I find out more information, so it will always be a work in progress.



I originally posted it on the Bismarck forums here. All criticism will be taken seriously; I want this to be as user-friendly as possible. Thanks in advance for your support!

It's a good start, but some of the coloured text is a little hard to read. Using white default text on a dark background would give you a better range of visible colours that won't be as hard on the eyes.

A nice start, but it'd be extremely useful to have a flag for whether or not the item causes a medicated status and for how long.

I was thinking that as well. Once I converted it into an htm document, the colors seemed a tad on the bright side.
I will work on making them more plesant on the eyes.

I think you may need a real site hosting service if you really want to do this.

o.O Oh my! I will figure something out. Once I am finished making it, I'll convert it into "alla" form.

Suggestion for hosting:

250free

Also if 250 MB of bandwith per month isn't enough, go check The Free Site. They have a pretty darn good list of free web page hosters ^^ Hope that helps!

Pretty good list, rated up ^^

Two bits of feedback:

For the compact version I would replace the "Effects" column with the "Comments" column from the full version. The effects column just shows what the description in-game says, doesn't exactly help a lot. The comments column on the full list is a lot more useful.

Also I'd like to request that the items which leave you medicated also be identified as such and say how long they leave you medicated for. I was severely disappointed when I bought a stack of Hi-Ether Drops a while back only to discover you can only use one about every 5 minutes.

Just one tip that came to mind while reading this very nice list :)

For the compact list (or make another more compact list) you could take off the Ballista and Event "medicines", since they are not really handy for the average players, and Ballista players already know their stuff. We all know that Ballista items are Ballista only, too.

Good job though it's an awesome idea and very well done and complete =) Keep it up! :D


EDIT: A kinda big mispelling issue >.>

I am still working on the lists so the old versions are still at the website. I love the feedback! I'm changing the compact version to have the comments and not the effects (more usefull). I'm working on the medicated flags; takes a little more research.

What would be awesome: does anyone know where I can find gifs or jpgs of the status icons that appear in game? I've seen the png version that Brandson has - and those are the modified ones (not to mention one whole image) I just want the regular icons and have been searching with no success. This way, I can just have the icon next to the item, and then state how long it lasts.

Ok! I have made the appropriate changes. I added a Medicated Status Effect column (and stated how long you are medicated for), made the compact version have the Comments, tweaked the colors a bit, stated whether the item is stackable. I left the Balista ones in there for the sake of argument - since I want this to be a complete list and to show what is available in this game.

For the medicated status effects: Some of the items I had trouble finding the duration. I put "???", so if you know the answer, I'll put it in there, and give you credit.

As far as the data transfer limit, it only timed-out 2 times, so I'm just gonna stick with geocities (I hate signing up for other websites I don't know about) because it's linked to my email and I have all the stats for the rest of my website. Plus since so many people were trying to access it at once, I think the website was like "dude, give me a break!".

Anyways, keep posting feedback. I won't stop until this is perfect! (yeah, I'm a perfectionist.)

I understand about that. I can wholeheartedly recommend 250free tho (I'm biased tho, I'm a community leader on their board)

Anyway, great list. I'll check it over a bit more thoroughly when I get time.

Like most of the icons I heard people just use "Windower" or "fraps" to get the pictures. Sometimes I do this for avatars on my desktop.

I use Clipper, it's a pretty nice little program, only does screenshots, very simple to use. You can find the free version here: http://www.soft32.com/download_64.html (went ahead and googled it for anyone interested.)
