API should be up an operational. It's only been collecting data for a few days but should continue and operate as it did before. Let me know if there are any weirdness that wasn't there previously.
Was there a change to the Location Event: "ItemGained_CrownMerchant"... it doesn't seem to be returning much data. Was the old data removed from the elasticsearch service and we're starting clean?
This is likely due to the fact that crown merchants technically don't exist any more. It all runs through the crown shop. Yes, the old elk stack was running on an ancient BSD box that did not get transferred over to the new datacenter so I had to rebuild it.
Seems like the service went down and after it did I wasn't able to get any data about pvp or monster kills. There is data about crafting and some merchant data though.
What do you mean the service went down? Are you sure you aren't hitting the limit? There is a limit on # of requests and MB for a given time period.
Yea that sounds like you hit your cap on our load balancer. If you send too many requests, or download too much data in a sliding window it will block you from grabbing more for a bit.
can anyone confirm through the API what the drop chance is for a dragon head? Not sure if it's possible to look at #kills and divide by #drops. I've skinned hundreds and still have yet to find a single head. Dozens of worthless artifacts though :S
That is doable through the API. I haven't done it that way, but it would be a great thing to add to what I'm preparing to release on shroudoftheavatar.net. My personal experience soloing 100s of dragons. It's probably 2-2.5% chance. ~40-50 dragon kills and I will get a head. RNG will vary.
Are there any free public databases of results available now, or have they all retired? I'd really like to review monster kills by scene, for example, but I don't really have a lot of time to devote to setting up my own box for this.
@Browncoat Jayson SotAssist isn't free but I'd be happy to give you a free trial if you'd like to try it.
Thanks @Hemswal The Descended, I'll consider that. The problem with anything time limited is about the same with setting up my own, I just don't have enough free time to utilize it. I'll get back to you when I have a weekend free. lol
does that mean that the specialty crown venders are no longer a thing? like the "spooky", "house", kobald, showgun, elven ect
They technically exist, but just open the Crown Shop interface instead of their inventories. Some may go away, but several are named either for past devs or backer rewards.
all that split-out stuff is going to be in the crown store, it just takes some time to set up and moving the list from the web store was first priority. (i'm still waiting for individual planting pots)
Whats the Archtype for the artifacts dropped by the big spider? I think its location is Novia_R3_Hills02_01 ..I see nothing that looks like the XEN staff. I'm pretty sure I got one wednesday night so it should be in there somewhere. I'm trying to prove to myself that the spider belt actually falls in there.
