Two new features have been added to a page named PK Advisor, accessible via the submenu from PK dungeons and/or PK Strategy.

Although not yet completely finished those are already working kind of:

The Specialization Advisor takes into account your current weapon and armor and tells you the amount of gold needed to upgrade those items to the highest level. (That’s nice for looking up the required amount prior to getting all the material and going into your houses workshop.)
Right now there is no advice on the actual specialization, this will come soon.

The Weapon/Armor Advisor tells you which weapon/armor combination is most effective for you against what and highlighting the special bonuses you’re receiving for your current specialization class.

Another page was added, which is only accessible to Erdinger Weissbier members, and lists the current deposits of gold inside the castles treasure chest for each player.

The overview page now also shows tops and flops in food/gold profit for the past few weeks.
Some more hints and translations done, as well as some more styling.

• the dungeon page now can also load a (dynamically generated) static map view of a dragon lairs location

The strategy and dungeons page, now also links to two more pages:

• the Damage Matrix page lists some almost forgotten links to the PK guide wiki

It is a very helpful resource explaining about damagepoints for each combination and suggests optimum gear combinations

• the Weapon and Armor page, which is very helpful for buying/selling those

You can select a weapon or armor, with or without any special metal and with or without gem, and it will list you the last traded prices including for each level of such an item, including the date of the last occurred trade, and all of that in either gold or food. (Please be patient as this query is a little bit time consuming on the database.)

• for those interested the actual database size is now shown at the bottom of the front page

There also have been lots of database improvements under the hood, resulting in huge speedups for the analyzer real time plotting, of every item you can think of. A full indicator refresh now requires only 37 minutes, instead of the former 10 hours.

• Some behind the scenes improvements (strategy is now a plain html page instead of that rw-stacks crap) thus allowing animated graphics and more easy navigation (not yet implemented), more sanitizing of values everywhere
• Specified a timeout for loading topics from PK forums, eliminating page not loading troubles when PK web servers are down again
• Speeded up Analyzer item list generation from DB, now has its own table

Dark Winds Badge (500 Orc Shamans)

• Added link to Shuriken Origami Paperwork – Howto

• Fuzzy searching for matrix calculator enabled
• New gloves and boots pricecharts added to chart overview page
• New gloves and boots product chain prices now update correctly
• Added some more usage notes on bottom of each page
• Added english translation for strategy page
• Added favicon for those who missed it 😉
• Added link to terabyte’s PK website

Right now there is an interesting discussion going on at the PK forums concerning the new items(platinum/special gloves/boots) coming wednesday.
Due to the decremented mining and chopping times it is expected that prices for basic resources like wood/stone/ironore will drop dramatically (about 75%).
According to this it might be a good idea not to stockpile these items and sell them as soon as possible.
For those of you (constructors) depending on these items, it may be best to postpone purchases until then to get cheaper prices.

Expected prices for platinum: 20 food vs. 3000 gold

Thus resulting in an average value for:

crafting gloves – 92 food vs. 13300 gold
chopping gloves – 212 food vs. 31300 gold
mining gloves – 72 food vs. 10300 gold
magnetic boots – 55 food vs. 7700 gold
gardener boots – 212 food vs. 31300 gold
explorer boots – 112 food vs. 16300 gold

Further there is a lot of ruby stuff coming:
