Talk:Insignia

word usage
This was removed on 28 May, and now we've already had the first edit regarding plurals. If lots happen it might be worth putting it back in. Biscuits 23:43, 31 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah. -- Gordon Ecker 00:39, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

Campaign
should we list which campaign some of the insignia is from? Because I didn't even realize that Earthbound Insignia must be nightfall because I don't have it in my PvP window. I'm not sure if thats why. I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to have and not have for what reasons suddenly lol.&mdash; JediRogue  21:36, 4 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Common and core profession insignia drop in all campaigns and the Realms of the Gods. Factions profession insignia drop only in Factions, NF insignia only in NF, etc. This was in the update notes, iirc. - B e X or  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 00:56, 5 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I've never gotten Earthbound insignia before I got nightfall. It was unavailable in PvP and I never ID'd it in PvE. Today, after I just bought NF, I identified it from Naga Trappings. So I'm not sure if you will on ID stuff you have campaign access to or what. But I definitely think this article should say what insignia are only available after you get which campaign. Because even if you never came across it through identification, you should be able to see it in PvP window and unavailable. But not if you don't have the campaign. &mdash; ♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 18:54, 26 June 2007 (CDT)

Lieutenant's Insignia
What is and is not affected by the damage penalty? -- Gordon Ecker 01:16, 5 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm thinking that the base dmg of the weapon, just like with Flurry. Didn't anyone conduct a test on that still? &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 06:17, 5 June 2007 (CDT)

Global
The stat changes are in blue. Does this mean that the effects are global and cant be stacked? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:68.49.211.171 (contribs).
 * What? All insignia work only on the piece they are attacked to, and non stacking effects have that noted in their description. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 14:45, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
 * For Insignia, armor rating modifiers and the damage reduction on Knight's insignia are local. Everything else is global and stacking unless the description specifically says non-stacking, in which case it is global and non-stacking. -- Gordon Ecker 21:13, 6 June 2007 (CDT)

Unfair :-p
Heh, I dislike the way Eles get better insignia than Rangers. For four slots, Rangers can get +15 AL to all elemental damage. For the same four slots, Eles can get +50 AL to all elemental damage... Rubbish ^^ 82.46.19.11 20:11, 8 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Except insignias only apply to the part they are put on, and rangers already get a free +30 vs elemental. --Macros 20:12, 8 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Heh, really? I only play a Ranger secondary, so didn't notice. And yeah, just discovered the "only the part they're on" rule. Damn you're quick :-p 82.46.19.11 20:14, 8 June 2007 (CDT)

Confusion
how are people supposed to know what a previous amour type was, that is now given by insignia? e.g. "Scar Pattern amour", from PvXwiki, links here. Now that means radiant insignias, but for someone else, how are they supposed to know when they see it mentioned in an outdated article?--203.129.46.5 02:12, 9 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Change the outdated article or check this article history. - B e X or  [[Image:Bexor.png]] 02:28, 9 June 2007 (CDT)

Nightstalker's Insignia
I have one of these in my inventory (salvaged) and see it in the list here, but when I go to the Rune Trader in our Guild Hall (Wizard's Isle) it is not in the list. Does anyone else see this same behavior? --  Glamtre  (Contribs) 18:23, 12 June 2007 (CDT)
 * EVERY trader operates on items he bought from other players. The Insignia where just bought out. &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 19:28, 12 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Thanks, I knew about the supply/demand aspect but I just assumed (so you know what happened) that they would not ever run-out, but only have the price go way up. That said, any idea what happens to the selling price of an item if it is out of stock?  Does it slowly creep up until someone sells or does it sit at the price of the last sell? --  Glamtre  [[Image:Axe-icon-right.png]] (Contribs) 19:25, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

Head Gear
Can insignia be applied to head gear? Because I remember that in pre-insignia Prophecies, there was a Knight's headgear that gave +1 Strength and the -3 Phys. dmg. However, I don't remember any spellcaster headgear with extra energy.
 * Yes, they can. --Kale Ironfist 09:53, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Only on some professions, not sure which. 65.95.56.212 18:26, 26 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Any headgear crafted recently in Factions or Prophecies comes with no Insignia, so you can add one. Collector armor will say whether or not it can have an Insignia on it. Older headgear was updated to have a Radiant insignia or something like that, so it should also be changeable. I don't know what you mean by "only on some professions", since it worked for all of my characters and I have one for every Profession... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 18:30, 26 June 2007 (CDT)
