Talk:Weapon upgrade

What's a good way to organise the upgrade listings? Should there be an article for each type, so you'd get something like: Axe Upgrades > Axe Hafts >  or simply an article that lists all the Axe Hafts and one that lists all the Axe Grips, with the modifiers each has? The article-for-each method seems best to me IF there's additional information that each upgrade could use: things like strategies (combine A with B for a really great synergy) and what weapons/enemies seem to drop that upgrade the most (I don't know if this is even true; frex, do undead drop Vampiric upgrades more?). Also, gonna be using the http://www.gwonline.net/page.php?p=125 link that Adam posted over in the Hilts section to fill out some of my data. I have quite a lot unlocked on my account, but not everything. Nunix

Is it true that prefixed or suffixed armor from armor collectors can not be salvaged into upgrade items? I know that used to be the case but I'm not certain if it's still the case. I remember seeing something about salvaging collector armor in an update but can't find it! 21:30, 23 Jun 2005 (EST)

I haven't tried it so I'm not sure. I'll try to remember to do that the next time I'm logged in. MartinLightbringer(CS) 21:41, 23 Jun 2005 (EST)

Prefixes on weapons seem to be pretty much the same, but they just don't appear on all weapon types. So how about coding them like this?

A--S   Barbed     Lenghtens bleeding duration on foe A-HS   Crippling  Lengthens crippled duration on foe AB-S   Poisoner's Lengthens poinson duration on foe

where the first ABHS letters define if the prefix is found on that weapon type. A is axe, B is bow, H is hammer, S is sword. and - of course means that that prefix isn't available for that type. Also the shield and foci modifiers would be nice to have from somewhere on this site. Maybe change the page to item modifiers or something like that? --Jazim 01:45, 4 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * There are Staff upgrades too...--Jackel 03:31, 4 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * True. Staves have own prefixes. Defensive, Hale and Insightful. Could be on the same list too. Even though they don't appear on any other weapon. --Jazim 04:33, 4 Aug 2005 (EST)

I'd suggest a complete reformatting of this. The  -like formatting (caused by the spaces at the beginning of the lines) is pretty ugly and hard to read. --Fyren 04:43, 4 Aug 2005 (EST)

Chance of success
I removed the line about it being 90% likely that a salvage attempt will succeed. Maybe I'm just unlucky, but in my experience its much more like 60%. Anyone?
