Stats on potions and database searches

[Doebi]

Potions that increase stats.

Should/could the stats be included so that they show up in the searches?

Example:
Greater Potion of Cohesion
http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=1828
Buffs stamina and Dex.

I would love to be able to search for dex buffs, and see both food/drink (you can find them now) and potions.

The stats are there

I believe the stats are currently included. For example from the one you linked:

Greater Potion Of Cohesion
Charges: 1
Effect: cohesion
WT: 0.4 Size: SMALL
Class: ALL
Race: ALL
item lore: greater potion of cohesion
EQTC notes: +15 stamina & +25 dexterity

Did you have something else in mind?

EDIT: Never mind. *Bonks Self*

I do see what you mean... they aren't searchable the way they are currently listed. My apologies.

But the stats aren't on the item, they're on the item effect. That's the problem. If we put it on the item, that would make it look like equipping the potion (rather than drinking it) grants those stats.

What about listing the stats so that they are searchable, and then adding a note (maybe where the stats are currently shown) that states the stat are only given if consumed? Make an assumption that people are smart enough to figure it out?

As it stands now, the data base for alchemy is great if I want to know what to make next in order to level, or if I know what the potion name is. But it is difficult to use to find the effect I want.

Right now the focus is on getting the bugs and inaccuracies and missing things fixed. I'll file this away as a request for when Niami and Ngreth decide to start taking requests. I definitely agree that this would be a nice feature, but it's not one we're ready to chew on just yet.

Thanks for the input
