Submitting Database Content

The Mystery Behind the Machine

If you've managed to find your way over to this section of the site, you're either curious about how our data collection works, or you're interested in helping submit data to the website. So, here's a brief rundown

How does it work?

Our data collection is done via a small application which runs on Windows. It sits quietly in your system tray, periodically sending information on entities (monsters and npcs), items, quests, your profile, and various other small bits of information to Curse. The client poses no security threat to your system and we do not collect any personal information such as email addresses or passwords.

The client itself is not a hack and does not provide any advantage over other players. All it does is collect harmless information about objects in the game.

What do we collect?

As stated above, we only collect what is nescesary for our database, no personal information or passwords are collected. Data collected from the game includes:

  • Item statistics
  • Entity information (NPCs, interactable objects, monsters), including what they drop and where they spawn
  • Quest information, including which entities give you quests, and which complete them
  • Chunk information (zones and locations)
  • Your character's profile and statistics

How can I help?

To submit data to Curse you will first need to register for an account. Once you have an account, you may then download the installer. After installation you will be asked for your username and password, enter your username and password for Curse, not for the game. Once done the client will work on it's own. You can check its status and change any configuration by using the icon in your system tray.
