4E Item Parser

I tested it this morning and it worked... not at first, but here is what I did:
Close all browsers
Open Internet Explorer (ONLY)
In IE (I used 11) Navigate to D&D Insider
(If you use Windows 10, open the Real Internet Explorer Desktop Application, Not Edge Browser)
Login to D&D Insider
Navigate to Compendium and leave IE on this screen

Open the Parser Software
In the Bottom of the Parser Application, use the integrated browser & Also login to D&D Insider from this sub-Window
Select your Step1 Book...
follow directions normally and it worked for me on both the DM & Players.

Thanx Kaustix,
I went through the same procedure until my DDI subscription expired back on 9/10 and just got empty downloads. Maybe I'll try it again at some point but I'm not currently doing any 4e games so no rush.

thanks again

thanks for posting that kaustix!
good work.

Hello,

I found a problem with the number of items displayed in the parser. Today I tried to download a whole database with all items and parser showed that there were only ~ 3.7k. Six months ago I downloaded the same base of items then it was ~ 10k. I logged directly to https://www.wizards.com/dndinsider/c.../database.aspx and it turned out that in fact the number of items is only ~ 3.7k.
Does anybody know what happened or maybe I'm doing something wrong ?

Thanks.

Does anyone know why in the compendium is only 3.7k items? Half a year ago I downloaded the entire database of items and there were 10k.

I don't have a DDI account any more, but I would look and see if they consolidated the item descriptions, ie instead of having +1 magic weapon, +2 magic weapon, ..., +5 magic weapon they just have one "magic weapon" entry. Most items other than the wondrous had multiple entries for different pluses and levels. It's the only thing I can think of that would give you that type of reduction other than WotC hosing the data.

Last time I had an DDI subscription, there were 3,752 item entries (meaning the category of "Items"). The parser breaks these 3,752 item entries into 10,534 individual items for FG since each Item entry can represent multiple individual items (just as Griogre mentions.)

Valeros and Griogre you are right, I forgot all about it. In that case, problem solved.

DnD Insider is not accenting new subs, so if you dont have one your SOL. Any work around to get this content, or would someone pm a share?
