Good Job.
These kind of databases REALLY come in handy, and I'm sure more people will join me in thanking you, and again, Good Job.

Yeah, looking good guys. It's excellent to see that external sites are being created to generate more enthusiasm for AOC.
Just a couple of comments:
1) Get rid of the yg watermarked background on the item tooltips. Its too distracting.
In my opinion, the tooltips should look pretty identical to the ones in the game, people are used to those and how they are laid out.
2) The rarity names appear to be incorrect, the rarity type "Epic" is assigned to blue items. Traditionally its the purples. Blues traditionally are usually classed as "Rare" items.

Yes, have to say it's looking very nice, good to see AoC gets it's own simplistic and usable database site, I'm sure if you keep putting the work in myself and others will help spread the word.
I personally don't mind the YG watermark in the item tooltips, however... I do think you need to rename the Quality filters, they seem...well, off, maybe they were for EQ1/2???
As it is AoC has...
White/Grey - Mundane
Green - Common
Blue - Rare/Superior
Purple - Epic
I know no one has officially labelled each quality, but it's confusing if it directly contradicts previous MMO naming schemes.

The names used for the quality are directly from the Age of Conan GUI files. The terms are not commonly used because other games have sort of set the item color naming standard but these were the names Funcom used.
To help this issue we have updated our rarity filter. It now now display the color and has been changed from a drop down to a multi-select box so you can pick more than one rarity to narrow down searches better. :)

You learn something new everyday, had no idea those were the names FC intended to use, whilst I know of no one except yourselves and Funcom who refer to blue items as epic and purple as relic I do see your point.
Also the colours help tremendously :)

Think I remember FC pre-release making a statement listing the different color/name. That was so long ago though, dunno if it even happened let alone am surprised that it was long forgotten by many.
It is not like the labeling system or names are obvious in-game except for the item color.

The original game details from Funcom included Orange items, which were listed as 'Legendary'...
Of course, they also had ideas about 'prestige classes' that would make resource gathering automated and add to the value of each of the guild city buildings. Oh well.
