GuildWiki talk:Armor crafting project

I hope this is appropriate but I've realized this is going to be a rather large undertaking. I'm still working out a good way to structure this but I think such a project will be nessecary.&mdash; JediRogue  19:02, 31 May 2007 (CDT)
 * I updated the prophecies quick references for Necromancer and Monk, for what it's worth. Biscuits [[Image:Biscuit.png]] 21:05, 31 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Thanks for the help. Did you make the changes to the QR pages and the invidual armor pages? &mdash; JediRogue  [[Image:JediRogueSig.jpg]] 00:32, 3 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I updated the body armor table on the quick reference page, and tagged all the individual types with (before you made this project, so the tag is slightly different). I didn't update the tables on each individual page. I agree it's definitely worth thinking of a way to include that info via the quick reference in case this data changes again in the future.

Monk's vs Tyrian
Monk Tyrian armor that is less than 60AL is called Monk's armor by the game at all the crafters. I don't know what the best way to represent this is. It's not always the case, for example Necromancer Tyrian armor is called Tyrian at all armor levels. (also, is there a reason why Necromancer is not in List 2?) Biscuits 05:17, 3 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Its not in list 2 because I forgot it. I like to use the name used by the crafter but it should still link to Tyrian armor. Elementalist armor for non-max and Tyrian armor for the max armor &mdash; JediRogue  [[Image:JediRogueSig.jpg]] 05:20, 3 June 2007 (CDT)

please add to the pages that it needs to be on (armor page and headgear page)doesnt seem to work when I try to get it there Cosyfiep 19:12, 29 July 2007 (CDT)

Needs work. Now.
I was just checking on the warrior Wyvern set to see where I could get it the cheapest to update the gallery and found that ALL the information in that table is pretty much wrong AND has been wrong for more than a year. Could we please get some helpers and get all of this double checked ASAP? Jennalee 08:48, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Is this info on guild wars wiki? If it is, we can just look the info up instead of checking it in-game. Perhaps ask for helpers on GuildWiki talk:Community Portal? --◄mendel► 09:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Our portal is pretty much dead except for armor galleries. if GWW has the info and we don't, that's shameful. Jennalee 11:33, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I completed the Elementalist armors. I didn't personally verify the costs on Obsidian, but it was already listed as verified.  I *should* be able to do most of Warrior, Mesmer, and Ritualist later, but those are the only classes I've completed those campaigns with.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 15:18, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I should be able to validate the costs for the core classes, but I will have to backrun some of my characters to ascalon to get some of the newbier armors there. Jennalee 09:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Jennalee asks for help
You may know Jennalee as the person who is contributing huge amounts of beautiful screenshots to the armor galleries and item depictions. However, she can't do that job if she can't find the armor crafters that have the armor she needs. It turns out that a year ago an update changed a lot in-game, and the wiki has never fully caught up. If you want to help Jennalee and make the wiki more complete, have a look at Armor_crafting_project, pick a category from the list at the bottom, and see what you can do. --◄mendel► 12:05, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I was under the impression it was already fixed, good to mention it here. I'll see what I can do.. -- [[Image:merty_sign.gif]]-- ( talk ) 13:03, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it was fixed for the most part. Some armor pages, especially the newbie armor that's available with different AL, might still be outdated, but that's it. I already checked everything Assassin related if you must know, so you can uncheck that. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 15:56, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * A few of them need to have the cost tables reformatted, though, so it's still a good idea for us to check through them all one more time. Specifically, a couple of the Elementalist armor art pages had a headgear column, others didn't have a total column, and a few others didn't include the gold cost in the total column.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 16:01, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, since we're on the topic, should we or should we not include the total gold cost in the last column? I find it unneeded and think the platinum icon clashes a little too much. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 17:24, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I am copying this section over to GuildWiki_talk:Armor_crafting_project so that people who maybe go there directly (from RC or from irc) can see it. If you have replies that pertain to the project itself, consider posting them there - that saves me further copying. ;-) --◄mendel► 17:47, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Logically, the gold cost is part of the total cost of crafting the armor, so I think it should be included. Still, I will refrain from making edits solely to add that until we reach a consensus on it.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 19:04, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

what this project needs...
Is a better way to keep track of itself. Offhand, I can't think of a way that wouldn't be overly cluttered so I would greatly welcome others' input on this matter. &mdash;♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 19:57, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


 * There is a way to mark pages as patrolled on Mediawiki. That could be used. How does it work?
 * Also, all updated pages could be tagged with a template, say, which we'd set to a notice on the page, and we can just blank the template when the project is finished and remove the tags later with a bot.
 * What's wrong with the current way of announcing work heer and striking from the list what is done? --◄mendel► 20:11, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
