New Wiki Page: Find Mobs By Level

Great idea. Once it gets some more polish it would be great. I searched for level 40 mobs and a whole bunch of player magelo pages came up.

First off, while thanks is always appreciated, I just want to reiterate that Branamil deserves all the credit. He came up with the idea, I just coded it up to make it easier to use.

It's a simple tool, so there's not much to get. Let's say you're level 35, so you're looking for level 30 mobs to kill. You go to the page, enter "30" for level, and you get a list of Warrior (non-caster) mobs of that level. If you want a different class of mob, you can change the class field. If you dig through the results, presumably you can find a new hunting spot.

I see the page mainly being useful for people looking to get off the beaten path. Of course, the Per-Level Hunting Guide (link in signature) was designed for that purpose too, but this is for people who really want to get off the beaten path [You must be logged in to view images.

Cool script. Very useful. Maybe there is a way to exclude the Magelo profile links in the searches though

This is all I see, so unsure where to "enter 30 for level"... am I missing something?

That's all I get too.

I was using Internet Explorer (v. 11.0.9600.18098) before. But, Firefox (v. 41.0.1) works ok.

IE? Going for that classic feel?

I tend to have a bunch of stuff open at once. On my laptop, I use Firefox for some things, but IE for other stuff, like P99 Forums, to break up the load. Otherwise, if I only use one of them for everything, it will increase the chances of it crashing. Lately though, I've been having more trouble with IE. I would upgrade IE to a newer version, but I'm leery of doing so, since it's tied to windows and I don't want certain upgrades that may break certain software.

On my PC though, I use Firefox mostly.

That means the Javascript code (which is necessary since wikis don't let you add form fields) isn't working. Unfortunately I don't have access to an Internet Explorer machine, but if anyone does and can report back any error messages I can hopefully fix it.

As an aside, normally when I program I use tools to help avoid this sort of issue, but the wiki limits things in a way that makes using those tools difficult.

I see that same page from my work PC (uses IE), but there are no error messages. Just loads like a usual page.

Thanks.

Based on that I'd guess that the people with problems are probably on IE8 (there was a big change between IE8 and IE9; basically Microsoft stopped being assholes and started playing by the same rules as everyone else) ... but that browser has such low usage now I'm kind of surprised that multiple people would have problems, so I figured maybe it was affecting all IEs.
