Talk:Collectors

What's up with the weapon and armor collectors? All I get is an error when trying to access the pages.


 * It's not only this page, but many others too. There is something wrong with the database. Gravewit is aware of it and is working on it (At least I hope so, because the situation is becoming somewhat dramatic. Not a single skill article seems to be working anymore!).

As explain in other page, isn't great to have a picture who described the objet of collector ? like alpine seed (picture.jpg) ? stonebeard

Collectors by Region
This was talked about here, but nothing ever happened. So I decided to do it. I did not remove the links to Weapon and charm collectors or Armor collectors because I realize that people may very well hate what I've done. Please check out the pages and make improvements where you deem it necessary, or discuss alternative proposals here. --Rainith 17:50, 5 November 2005 (EST)


 * Oh, I agree with what you've done and I would call for the big ugly Armor collecors and Weapon collectors pages to be wuiped out and replaced with links to the region lists. It's called a series in Wikipedia and it is the standard way of breaking apart any large content.
 * The only modification would be that you ought to link back to the "mother" list from the sub lists. --Karlos 21:23, 5 November 2005 (EST)


 * I LOVE the "big ugly Armor collecors and Weapon collectors pages!" I use Ctrl-F on those pages to quickly find the reward item that I seek. I start at the Crystal Desert region and Ctrl-F my way down to the end. It's fast. It's easy. It's functional. I can still access those pages only because their links were included this discussion, but how does a new visitor find them? Will all new visitors, when looking for a reward item, be forced to click a region, search, back page, click a region, search, back page, and so forth? --Krissy 11:18, 15 November 2005 (UTC)


 * One of the issues with those "big ugly Armor collecors and Weapon collectors pages!" is the size of them and the number of page hits that they got. We weren't down for almost a week because we weren't using enough bandwidth.  ;)  The splitting up of these pages was meant in part to specifically reduce the amount of data that was sent as the two collectors pages were (the last time I checked) in our top ten most popular pages.  As it is now if you were starting in the Crystal Desert and working down from there, you really only need to look at two pages now.  Weapon and charm collectors (Crystal Desert) and Weapon and charm collectors (Southern Shiverpeaks) or their respective armor pages (as the only items given by collectors in Sorrow's Furnace and the Ring of Fire Islands are scrolls).
 * As a side note:
 * Time from removal of links to massive collectors pages to when the screaming and shouting started: 14 hours 13 minutes  --Rainith 11:52, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
