Nice work on the [[Tumerok Banners Quest]], that's a beast of a quest. --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 01:42, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

The quest template is done (signed off on), anything that changes in the future will be minor and wouldn't require revisiting pages that have been converted. Tweaks now are mostly centered around dealing with exceptions. And I feel your pain hehe, I converted a couple thousand creature pages right before an important change was made to the Creature Template and I need to redo them now.
Hi Arkalor, We were discussing the Critical Protection augmentation and are curious about your text: ''Also important to note is that this can potentially reduce your chance to be critically hit to 1% (theoretical 0) versus monsters near your level or lower, when combined with high melee defense skill.''


Because the template overhaul took several months I'm going to be going over them all again now as I prepare to release the next version of the Wiki Swiss Tool to make sure they are uniform in how they do things and in their documentation but all but two or three are done now and so the rest won't change in any significant way.
What do you mean?  Can you explain how crits against you could be reduced to a 1% chance?


I really appreciate all your work on the old quests and patches, it's probably the reason for 90% of page views and several of us have been tied up with getting structural stuff done. --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 11:14, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!
 
I fixed the experience rewards table for quest guide pages to handle situations where the reward isn't level based (a percentage). Because there are various possible permutations it turned out to not be possible to make the column go away without making it overly complex to use. Especially since some tasks might be level based and other tasks might not be within a single quest.


If a task gives fixed xp, set "Percent of Level" and/or "Repeat Percent of Level" to either "N/A" or to "Fixed" and then under that column it will display "Fixed XP" for the task instead of the ?? up to level ??. --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 14:28, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

:Yeah, I'm in the process of going through the kill tasks to update them. (Sorry if my initial post was confusing, I'd forgotten who'd originally raised the issue two weeks ago and was thinking it was you when it was RyanR.) --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 21:41, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I'll have to boot up my old computer to check for the crafting and quest journal exemplars, but my hunch is that I didn't save the working files for them. --[[User:An Adventurer|An Adventurer]] 14:39, 19 December 2012 (EST)


The template assumes the base image is a given size and aspect ratio. I've got a stack of images to use for the patches before we got actual splash screens and I have cutout frames to make them all look the same format. I just finished the new version of the wiki swiss tool so that's a big monkey off my back so I hope to get to a bunch of things I've had on the back burner done now. I'm working on customizing an extension for displaying the time of last edit for lists of pages right now and when I'm done I'll frame up the images you used so they look right. (Along with the rest that I've got ready). --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 20:34, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
:Hey, sorry it took a while to get back to you. I went through my AC files on my old computer, and I don't have those images. I can tell you how I made them though, and you can feel free to recreate them.
:*The quest journal exemplar is a character wearing some random loot armor and wielding one of the magic caster books (e.g. [[Tome of Chill]]). The screen shot is of this character mid-emote, probably <nowiki>*scratch head*, *smack head*, or *read*</nowiki> so that it looked like she was reading.
:* The crafting exemplar is a bunch of items piled up against the wall in the whispering blade stronghold. Looks like it was a [[Fletching Table]], [[Empty Stopped Keg]], [[Empty Bottles]], some hops or barley, an [[Alembic]], and some misc. spell comps.

== Coalesced Mana & Coalesced Aetheria ==


I just changed this so this is something new. For dungeons, on the creature lists, use <code> | Location = Dungeon</code>, the possible values are "Dungeon", "Landscape", and "Point of Interest". Where there are choices I've put all three so that the inapplicable ones can be erased but since the dungeon template will always be a dungeon location, I just set it to dungeon so you don't have to erase anything. --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 20:32, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Hail on yonder Arkalor!!  Thank you. I will stop adding Coalesced Mana and Aetheria to creatures trophy lists. [:-) --[[User:Logan Conrad|Logan Conrad]] 05:41, 12 January 2013 (EST)
: When we're done it will have segregated lists similar to how vendors will be seperate from other links to an item. For now it's just laying the groundwork.--[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 20:40, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

exemplars

I'll have to boot up my old computer to check for the crafting and quest journal exemplars, but my hunch is that I didn't save the working files for them. --An Adventurer 14:39, 19 December 2012 (EST)

  • The quest journal exemplar is a character wearing some random loot armor and wielding one of the magic caster books (e.g. Tome of Chill). The screen shot is of this character mid-emote, probably *scratch head*, *smack head*, or *read* so that it looked like she was reading.
  • The crafting exemplar is a bunch of items piled up against the wall in the whispering blade stronghold. Looks like it was a Fletching Table, Empty Stopped Keg, Empty Bottles, some hops or barley, an Alembic, and some misc. spell comps.
