Talk:Guide to Item of the Week Farming

About Formatting
I really like the way formatting was going awhile back. So I am going to post what I think would make a good template for the page. It isn't like a regular template at all, just something that if I disappear or TEF does then the template will be around for others to keep posting items. This isn't set in stone, like all things I hope we can discuss what changes to make, or if things need to be moved. One point to remember, and this has been important from the beginning is that this article isn't written for the uber player. It is written more for casual players to have an idea of what to expect, and give them ideas on what to try. For that reason it should be more concentrated on getting the general farming information in before solo builds etc.

Summary

 * Item: item neededs
 * Found In: locations item or mod that drops item are located
 * Dropped by: what drops the items

Getting to Nick
Nicholas the Traveler is located at [location] [brief directions] (see the map for more details).

Farming for item neededs

 * Suggested Farm #1: suggested farm here, including locations, special things like statues, or blessings.

Threats & Recommended Skills

 * Tactics:important tactics, for example pulling, choke points etc


 * Threats: general threats like hex, condition, environmental effects etc.


 * Recommended Skills: skills like anti-kd, hex removal etc

Solo Farming

 * information for solo builds goes here, not in the above section which is for general farming or balanced groups

Nicholas the Traveler link formatting
I've reverted the emboldened link to Nicholas the Traveler for a couple of reasons: If a consensus of other contributors believe that this is a good time to deviate from the relevant style guides, I'm happy to reemphasize the link. Thanks. &mdash; Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 04:18, September 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Rules of style (here and generally) prefer a single stylistic emphasis, i.e. there's usually no need to use more than one of these: italics, "quotes," offsets, color, bold-face, different font , underlining , and so on. The link already stands out because of its color.
 * Nick bears no special importance in the context of the page: it's most likely that people have the page bookmarked or have jumped here from the Gift of the Traveler or Nick Traveler articles. Those readers do not need special attention called to nick over any of the other referenced articles.
 * No, the revert is correct, bolding links should be avoided where possible for exactly the reasons outlined. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 05:01, September 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Gotta tell you, awesome job keeping this up to date man. I am so busy I don't have time to do much online anymore. Great to see you keeping it up to date and everything. Maybe during the small break coming up I can actually play again, instead of just reading about others playing. [[Image:Spikeicon.png]]Tenetke 08:34, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
