Okay just to let you all know I'm still around and will be maintaining by XML based Online Techniques Database. For those of you who are new to it, the URL is as follows:
http://www.freepgs.com/quadric/techs/
Please, if you see something which does not reflect what is in game, post here and I'll try to get around to fixing it ASAP.
Also, I'm still looking forsome nice tailors, jewelcrafters and armourcrafters to give me some idea as to what items allow for what techs [;)] If you have this information or the time please contact me with the information.
