Armor Images
Where in the game do you take your armor scresnshots?


 * Most of them are taken with PvP chars on the Isle of the Nameless, as the light there is almost perfectly clean white. Some I also took in the Traveler's Vale right outside of Yak's Bend, that's where I mostly go with PvE chars. --84-175 (talk) 03:37, 6 June 2006 (CDT)

"new" bosses w/elites
Hey, just wanted to tell you that I found two bosses that we didn't even have listed here. Both are in Lornar's Pass and at least one has an elite (which is why I'm bothering you with this). They are Erzek Runebreaker (definately has an elite, saw him use it) and Tonfor Copperblood (think he has an elite, see Talk:Tonfor Copperblood). I do have screenshots of where I found them in the area that I can upload for you, but I don't pretend to have the photoshop skills to make a good looking map like you do. Let me know if you want the screenshots, and good work on the elite maps. --Rainith 19:03, 20 February 2006 (CST)


 * Yeah, Lornar's Pass... probably the worst charted area in the game, as far as bosses are concerned. I know there are quite a few bosses there, but I don't have any idea how I can pull it off to get reliable spawn locations for them. That would require me to clear out the whole area multiple times. I certainly won't find enough players to do that and working my way up with henches from Camp Rankor will take ages. :-/
 * Thanks for the info about the bosses. Yes, I'd like the screenshots. I won't make maps from them right away, but maybe one day I'll get some research done in Lornar's Pass and then any additional data is very much welcomed. :) --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 02:16, 21 February 2006 (CST)


 * I started from Deldrimor War Camp and fought my way up there with henches, as long as your region has favor it is actually pretty easy, died a couple of times in Dreadnaught's as I was running thru there, but just got rid of the DP at the temple of Grenth in Lornar's. Sure it cost me 3-5 plat (I didn't really keep track) to clear the area, but I was able to add a couple of new bosses and capture an elite I was looking for.
 * Would you prefer I email you the screens or just upload them here? If I upload them, you better save them quick as some folks love to look through the unused images page and mark any that aren't used for deletion. I may do this a couple of more times to try to see if these guys share their spawning points and if I can find any other bosses, but that will probably be a week or so away.  --Rainith 10:47, 21 February 2006 (CST)


 * Actually, I did exactly the same thing yesterday, too (of course I couldn't bear it... :D), and went to Lornar's from the War Camp, using henches. But it does literally take ages to get up there. I may try to get a runner to bring me there next time :).
 * I think we shouldn't clutter the wiki with unrefined information (especially when it's images), so just send them to my email, please either convert them to jpg or zip them up. :) --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 02:12, 22 February 2006 (CST)


 * I'll send them to you when I get home, which will be sometime in the middle of the night in Germany I know. If you want to team up and try to tackle Lornar's sometime check my userpage for my characters, although the weekend would probably be the only time that you and I would be on at the same time (given the time difference and all).  I will go through the area one or two more times just to see if I can get some different bosses to spawn that we might be missing.  --Rainith 02:22, 22 February 2006 (CST)


 * I received your maps, thanks. Those locations corrospond with the data I collected so far. They seem to be the only two spawn locations for the three stone summit bosses, although I'm not sure about that yet. In addition there seem to be three locations for the three tree bosses. --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 02:06, 23 February 2006 (CST)


 * The one Stone Summit boss location that I didn't mark was the Ice Golem boss, he was just a bit further WNW from Tonfor Copperblood's location in that same area with all the Summit forces.
 * For the tree bosses, as far as I know there are 3 locations, two at the far northern end and one about a quarter of a way up from the southern end, does that correspond with your info? --Rainith 02:33, 23 February 2006 (CST)


 * Yes, that corresponds, except, as mentioned, for the third Stone Summit location, where I haven't seen anything spawning yet. I think we can assume those locations to be all there is (one boss per profession, one location per boss looks fairly good to me). I'll make maps as soon as I have the exact location for the third Stone Summit boss. --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 03:39, 23 February 2006 (CST)

User:Stabber
* looks confused* How come you changed Stabber's User Page to redirect to GuildWiki's Main Page? *still looks confused* --Gares Redstorm 04:41, 1 April 2006 (CST)


 * I did not do that. She did that herself before inserting the ban request. All I did was reverting to the last valid edit. :) I find it strange myself, but it's her decision. -- 04:58, 1 April 2006 (CST)


 * True. I am with you, strange, but as you said, "it's her decision". --Gares Redstorm 05:31, 1 April 2006 (CST)

Huh?
What did I do? --Karlos 10:26, 1 April 2006 (CST)


 * You banned a few spammers and vandals without deleting their user pages with the ban requests. No big thing, it just clutters the Category:Candidates for banning. :) -- 13:49, 1 April 2006 (CST)

Monk is Mo, not M!!!
In reference to, eg. Image:Armor M 15k Fissure F Dye HandLeg Front.jpg &mdash; Stabber (talk) 14:04, 10 April 2006 (CDT)


 * Argh, you're right of course. :( --84-175 (talk) 14:05, 10 April 2006 (CDT)

please link
please link to images you are replacing with when marking old ones for deletion, for easy comparison. Thanks. - 06:28, 28 May 2006 (CDT)

Hmm, yes, but that would mean I have to be less lazy. :p --84-175 (talk) 06:59, 28 May 2006 (CDT)

Banned User
Just in case you did not go through the entire User Contributions, Rainith also seems to reverted a mass of User:66.67.160.125's edits because of blanking the last time he showed up. --Gares Redstorm 06:40, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Yes, I see now that there's been quite a few more incidents. Increasing the ban time. --84-175 (talk) 07:10, 2 June 2006 (CDT)

Replaced image
Which image did you replace Image:Armor Rt Seitung M Undye Full.jpg with? I only ask because there is another page linked to that image that needs to be changed before the image is deleted. --Rainith 20:44, 6 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I'm sorry, I've been lazy with that (Pansola told my already off for it, see two entries above this :o]). Fixed it now. --84-175 (talk) 03:32, 7 June 2006 (CDT)

Same problem with: --Rainith 20:27, 8 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Image:Armor Rt Shing Jea M Undye Full.jpg
 * Image:Female Oracle.jpg

Unused image anomaly
Was going through unused files (marked a lot for deletion). The file needs deletion as it is unused, however,, its generated Image: page, is not the same image! O.o;; Anyway, thought I'd leave a note with an admin since I can't mark the page. --Tinarto 02:55, 7 June 2006 (CDT)
 * It's a MediaWiki problem. One image is actually http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Image:Dreadnought%5C%5C%27sDrift.jpg (compare to your second link).  I think it only used to happen when uploading something with an apostrophe and that everything works out fine in the current version.  The unused image is from September.  --68.142.14.92 03:06, 7 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Yes, I remember there was some problem with apostrophed in file names. Not sure if something special needs to be done here, though. I'll just mark the unused image for deletion and we'll see if it works. :) --84-175 (talk) 03:36, 7 June 2006 (CDT)

Spam frenzy
I saw you block one IP. Please block 64.12.116.X and 64.12.117.X. He is changing the IP all the time. -- 04:27, 17 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I am aware of that. blocking the "0" should block the whole range from 0 to 255, according to all I know about TCP-IP. Doesn't seem to have worked. Other than that I don't know how to block IP ranges ofther than by blocking every single IP manually. --84-175 (talk) 04:28, 17 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Try blocking numbers 1-10, they seem ot be the ones most used. --[[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png]] 04:30, 17 June 2006 (CDT)

Blocking Vandals
Hey Eightyfour, I just posted something here that you might be interested in.  &lt;LordBiro&gt;/&lt;Talk&gt; 05:03, 17 June 2006 (CDT)

Overwrite or integrate?
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/User:Incarnadine/Sandbox

I'd like to update the sand drake drop information with what's in my sandbox directory, but I didn't want to overwrite your contributions. The problem is that I broke down the drops and the existing data isn't broken down. I asked for some input on the drop rate talk page, but I'd like to hear from you on what to do. Thanks!
