Template for collector item rewards
I'm considering a template based on the collector reward item format I've used. Are these valid assumptions?
 * Collector items are all blue names
 * Damage and AF/Energy bonuses are always white
 * Properties are always blue (fast recast on smiting prayers, etc)
 * Conditions (required attribute level, change %, while hexed, etc) are all grey and applied inline after properties.

I'm thinking the template could be like this: cir-start cir-name cir-dam cir-en cir-prop cir-cond (conditions applied inline after damage, propery, or bonuses) cir-end

Should the table that houses these items (the 2 column structure used to pair up items) be another template or a normal convention? Adam - I've made the template based on these assumptions and structure. There is a page about it here. Adam

Isn't great to have the image of the item in order to have better visual ? stonebeard

Collector Items that no one wants
Any thoughts on if we should include collector items that currently have no collectors that want them? I'm thinking of the items that you find in the Ring of Fire and surrounding areas, like the Igneous Humps (similar to the Hardened Hump and Icy Hump) and I know the Hydras in the area drop a claw item too. As far as I know there are no collectors for these items currently, should they be included now as in future updates there may be collectors for them? --Rainith 11:42, 03 Aug 2005 (PDT)

Images
Are we bothering with images for these? -Caspian


 * So far I haven't been. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't though.  Put up an example if you have something in mind.  --Rainith 01:53, 21 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * How about something like this: Enslavement Stone? - Caspian
 * I think we should use the pic of the item from the inventory screen. Just my personal opinion, but that way all the pictures would be of the same size (griffon wings) and some items (skale fins) don't show up very well when they're on the ground.  Also I think we should use an item box like those found in this article: Flute.  Just my $0.02.  --Rainith 03:03, 21 Sep 2005 (EST)

Collectable sub-categories
Tetris, for this and other items that you recategorized last night/today.. I think the sub group name should indicate that it is a collector item immediately. e.g. "Collectable Seeds" instead of plant seeds. The reason is that while we can make all sorts of categorizations, we must not impair functionality. If I land into "Gloom Seed" and see that it's categorized as a "plant seed," well, duh! :) But I won't know that this means it's a collector's item.

So, I suggest we move each of these new categories into something that says they are "collector items" just like we did with skills (Warrior skills, Air Magic Skills) let's do that here too. "Collectable Seeds" "Collectable Hides" and "Collectable Horns"... --Karlos 09:08, 8 November 2005 (EST)
