| Information on IDB's history is needed. |
The In-Depth Battlepedia, or IDB, is one the largest and earliest collections of information regarding Battledome weapons. It is designed as an expansion of the Battlepedia and provides a searchable database of almost 2,500 weapons, maintained by a large team of volunteers.
In addition to indexing nearly double the number of weapons that the Battlepedia does, IDB provides much more detailed information about weapon effects - including the quantity of items, extensive testing as the likeliness of healing, freezing, and so forth, and mathematical dissection of the exact number of icons, by damage, that a weapon strikes with. IDB weapon raters also review many of the weapons.
The In-Depth Battlepedia provides a forum for the discussion of Neopets and the Battledome, and hosts a large quantity of information related to the Battledome in addition to just weaponry - such as Negg effects, methods of training, Faerie abilities, and a damage calculator. On the 25th September 2008, IDB introduce a weapon simulator ("BD SIM") to simulate the outcome of battles between Neopets with certain attributes and weapons.
On the 26th July 2011, the host website for IDB, finalhit.org, went bankrupt, and as a result, users could no longer access the IDB database.
On october 29th, 2011 JellyNeo announced that they would be bringing iDB back, working closely with the iDB staff a collaboration was made in order to keep the database and website alive.
Forums
The IDB Forums were created on February 7th, 2004. As a Battledome-orientated fansite, the IDB forums contains various forums relating exclusively to the Battledome, including:
- Battledome Central - A forum of discussion of general Battledome-related topics.
- Challenge Central - A forum where forum members can find opponents to challenge in the Battledome.
- Weapons Advice & Comparisons - A forum for discussion and rating of various weapon sets.
- War Room - A forum where information relating to Neopets wars can be discussed, and where information relating to IDB's own wars, such as sign-up forms, are located.
- Battler's Trading Forum - A forum for the trading of Battledome Equipment and other related items in the Trading Post.
IDB also hosts an active area where users can submit articles for other users to read on topics ranging from Battledome tips to training guides. Although IDB focuses on the Battledome, there are additional forums for other topics.
The section on Neopets contains forums for posts relating to Neopets but not necessarily the Battledome, while the Miscellaneous section covers a vast variety of topics including IDB's version of Werewolf, which is the longest running Werewolf series on any Neopets fan site (game #46 as of May 7, 2007).
IRC Channel
An IRC channel was linked via a Java applet on May 30th, 2006.
