How this data is produced
tq2db is a database, not a wiki. Every number on it is read out of Titan Quest II’s own data tables and re-read when the game patches, which is why skill pages here carry every rank rather than the first one.
The pipeline
- The game’s depot is downloaded from Steam.
- A headless CUE4Parse worker dumps every data table to raw JSON — no interpretation, no reshaping.
- A separate ingestion step normalises that JSON into the database, and refuses the run outright if the dump comes back degraded.
- Each entity is hashed and compared with the previous build. The differences become the patch pages.
What we will not do
- Invent a number the files do not contain.
- Publish content the files flag as unreleased.
- Rehost the game’s art.
- Call a build “best” without stating how that was decided.
Frequently asked
- Where does the data come from?
- Titan Quest II's own data tables, read directly out of the game's Unreal archives (Steam app 1154030) with CUE4Parse. Nothing is transcribed from a wiki or a tooltip.
- What happens when the game updates?
- A watcher polls the Steam build id. When it moves, the extraction re-runs and every table is diffed field by field against the previous build. Those diffs become the patch pages, which is how silent balance changes surface.
- Why do some values show a dash?
- Because the game files do not specify that value. A dash is not zero and it is not an oversight — it is the honest answer. Filling those gaps with plausible numbers is the one thing this site will not do.
- Do you host the game’s artwork?
- No. No texture, icon or model from the game is rehosted or hotlinked. Every icon on the site is our own.
