The LootDB is a community-contributed EverQuest II item database that links items with mobs and zones they are associated with. The project started in 2007 as a freelance job project and has become one of the popular websites used by EverQuest II gamers on everyday basis. The core of the LootDB is a small client program that lives in the system tray and monitors the EQ2 logs for item links from chat channels, chest and body drops as well as your harvested goods. No private information like general chat or tells is collected so your personal communications stored in your log files are safe.

You can contribute to the LootDB by enabling the in-gaming logging ('/log') and running the LootDB client while you play, or parse your logs offline when you're done. But first, register an account and download the latest version of the LootDB item collector. After extracting the zip file, run the client, enter your username and password and click "OK". To parse the log files, point the client to one of your log files and click the "Trace" button if it's your current active log file or the "Parse" button if it's one of the older ones. You can also submit items manually if you prefer not to install the client for some reason.
