I have 2 suggestions for the Official Guide. Keep in mind, I have no idea about the programming involved, so the suggestions might not even be realistically possible.

1. Is there a way that the items list in the Official Guide can pull data directly from the game? I am guessing there may be a database of all items currently used in the game. It should be an easy task to have the items section of the Official Guide query this database for up to the second information. Right now, items stop at level 970.

2. I really would like to be able to search for items that have a specific enhancement. If I recall correctly, this was possible in the unofficial guide.

1. Probably not, or else they'd have done it that way.

2. I like this idea, and it probably would be too much extra.

They always said the guide was the remain 10 levels behind the content, no idea why...

As Reg says, that was done deliberately, so as not to give away all the new content stuff secrets even before folk at EOC had done the content..

You still CAN in the FSG - it IS still up and running ;)

It would be nice if they added it to the ultimate guide, or at least just took the old guide and made it official.... was a lot more useful than this current one. :|

All I honestly use it for is the item search function, but one by enhancements would be nice. Like theivery and such. ;)

So many things have been promised to be added to the UFSG and not been...

Recipes, details of recipes, linking recipes to quests, enhancements to gear, FULL details in quests (they tend not to list that you have to kill x of y creatures, for instance), resources dont show what they extract into and no link from extracts back to components. I'm sure there's a lot more too.

It started off well, with a lot of promise, but fell by the wayside and promised updates never materialised, so yes, the FSG and the WIKI are both far superior currently..
