New EQ2Wire Columnist
It all started with a simple post:
“If you’ve ever fancied yourself a writer for EQ2Wire, whether it’s just updates on the happenings around Norrath, including updates on Live Events, shoot us an e-mail thru Contact Us.”
Since then, I’ve gone from e-mailing articles to Feldon to full Author, Contributor, and Editor at EQ2Wire.
You may have noticed a few of my articles over the past few weeks. Some of you are probably wondering, who is this Dethdlr person? Allow me to introduce myself.
I started playing EQ2 on May 15th, 2005 but it wasn’t until August of 2006 that I convinced my wife to start playing as well. That’s when EQ2 became a part of my daily routine. Since then, I’ve done everything from casual player to just under hard core raider (was the OT for Society of Depravity/SoD for a while during EoF and RoK). I’ve been in every beta since EoF and currently have a 90 Assassin(Decimatr), 89 Templar(Elinore), 86 Warlock(Ryncewynd), and an 86 Berserker(Dethdlr), as well as a few other lower level characters, all on Kithicor.
A few years ago, my guild needed a weaponsmith so I leveled Dethdlr up to a level 70 Weaponsmith. When RoK came out, he became the 26th worldwide and 1st level 80 weaponsmith on Kithicor. Since I was one of the only weaponsmiths in my guild, guildmates would ask me which weapons they should use for their characters. To make things easier, I created www.eq2411.com which lists the mastercrafted weapons up through level 80 broken out by class and tier. Dethdlr is still sitting at level 80 weaponsmith today but my alchemist is level 90.
I’ve done a little bit of UI development and created the first plug-in for the Fetish Nightfall UI. I also added the AFK button to the player window and added the click to cure with potions to the player window in the same UI.
For years now, I’ve been checking the EQ2 websites several times a day to see what the latest news was that’s going on around Norrath. When I would find something interesting, I would tell my guild about the new news. Now I get to post it on EQ2Wire.
Feldon does a great job of searching through the sea of information that is created about EQ2 on a daily basis and posting it here so that everyone else doesn’t have to. I have no delusions of being able to do as good a job as Feldon does at this but I’ll do my best.
I look forward to bringing you the latest information on the happenings around Norrath.
Trackback from your site.

Any plans to update the http://www.eq2411.com site with the SF gear? Any plans to include weapons other than the standard Weaponsmith recipe books? Any plans to do anything other than weapons, such as armor or ranged weapons (such as the Woodworker recipes)? I’ve been hoping to find sites similar to http://www.everseek.com (and now http://www.eq2411.com), as the information on eq2.wikia.com (while nice), as well as other sites, doesn’t lend itself well to answering questions like, “What are the MasterCrafted armors my Ranger has to choose from?”, or, “What can I do with this rare severed bone?”, or any number of other possible questions. I’d love to see someone stick all these recipe books in a database somewhere and allow us to query it and answer the strange questions that come up in the game all day long.
