Factions

 * Skills available in Factions before choosing a secondary profession.

Nightfall


= Core =
 * What artisans craft: Artisan
 * Where they are: Artisan list
 * Special Collections: some Trophies are worth more on holidays.

To Be Written or In Progress

 * Simplified guide to Keys, Lockpicks, and the Lucky &amp; Unlucky titles (why: current guides emphasize math over guiding)
 * Simplified guide to Damage, Armor Ratings (why: current articles emphasize calculations and explanations over guiding)
 * Available hench comparison (why: current guides are good, but don't compare choices available, e.g. when there are two fighters)
 * Hero AI Project: do different with identical profs/builds/commands behave identically? (Why? No one seems to have done controlled experiments. Both pro/con use anecdotal evidence to support case.)
 * "local max" &mdash; the maximum available to a char who has not progressed to a main trading area (e.g. what's max armor for PRE, for Shing Jea)
 * q0 &mdash; what are the max stats for q0 weapons, helpful for new chars &amp; for alternate weapon sets (e.g. pulling, emergency shields)
 * dagger breakpoint &mdash; at what skill rank does E +1/hit, -1 degen become better energy management than status quo?

Comparison Tables

 * damage type comparison: type, weapons, other sources, defense, resistant classes, susceptible classes, for physical, elemental, &amp; all else

Supposed to be done already!

 * bonus items as own article transcluding the items, so that they can be treated as indepedent articles
 * full set of editions of the game, transcluding (maybe) the bonus items

TEF Drop Rate Project
An attempt to get more ppls to collect drop rate data. How:
 * count data per run instead of per creature;
 * amt of time, location, pct of area covered
 * use named-parameter template to collect data, making it easier for to add
 * limit # things counted
 * results will be % per run

Template Ideas

 * TEF table
 * make better use of userbox params or build TEF box for sillinesses
 * quotations that really set the quote apart neatly
 * inlines: hot tip, bug, historical, anomaly -> so that they function as bullets and set themselves apart only slightly
 * setasides: "they way it looks now" and "the suggested way" &mdash; since I seem to be often using that technique
 * Cartographer - to standardize the explorable notation
 * Vanquishing - to standardize the vanq notation
 * tinier skillbar (ideally w/resource costs on mouseover)
