Talk:3.5e Equipment

Ok, since this whole category needs to be redone, I think I'd like to take a cue from the classes page and break this up a bit more. It would be easy to do 4 or 5 pages (Mundane, Magical, Epic Magical, Artifacts, and Template Items if someone can explain to me what they are) and then stick each of the items in the page that they belong to. The subtype, Adventurering Gear, Ring, etc., can easily be set as an item type property, with automagically populating lists that let you sort by type to find stuff. Which means that the only property we even need for equipment is a Equipment Type and the only categories we need are the ones for the pages... unless I'm completely missing something. Any objections? - TarkisFlux 04:02, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

If we want to have price sorting, then we'd also need a Cost property. Of course, Tome will have that as null, so I can't say that that would be universal. --IGTN 04:23, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
Cost is a good call, and one that would work nicely on the nav page. Tome costs aren't exactly null though, they just don't matter after some point if they're expressed in gp (and so would still have an entry for the low level game) or are expressed in planar currency (and so would still have an entry). Weapon properties and the like might not, but we could list those as N/A or Tome to avoid table breakage.
Yeah, that one's in. Tahnks IGTN. - TarkisFlux 04:41, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
First off, from what I understood, Template Items were specific items that come in series that other items are based off of, like, if I made 7 magical orbs with various properties that were all item creation based off a single base magical orb. Probably not a page we need anyhow, since the base item could easily be listed among its brethren in whatever category it belongs. Yeah, there are a lot of pages and categories that can probably be merged here as well. Specific Clothing and Outfits for example. Non-Magical Items and Jewelry and Accessories could be merged into a single page called Flavor Treasure (singe magical items has a flavor treasure page), which I might suppose could include trade goods and commodities as well, unless you think that should have its own page, or call it Treasure and Valuables. Hope my ramblings helped. --Ganteka Future 06:43, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

Red Links Be Gone!Edit

So I went a little crazy. Yeah. Well, it's all linked to hell and back, and I have some cleanup suggestions.

  • Specific Clothing. The only one I left red, kill it. How is it different from mundane outfits? It doesn't even have a catagory.
  • I notice none of the "Magic Gauntlet" items carried over (or they remain unlinked if they were). Personally, I'm happy to get rid of them and remove the catagory. What are magical gauntlets if not wondrous items? Kill it.
  • I wonder how you can have epic flavor treasure. Magic, yes, but how will you pull off an "epic" but technically useless item? I'd like to know, if we can't, we might want to kill it.
  • Template Items: Looking above I see some confusion, is this not for item templates such as in the PHB2? Like Drawvencraft and all that.

The rest I can at least justify their existance. I'd like to see if we can fill up those still empty. Time to get to work and make lots of pages people! -- Eiji Hyrule 09:42, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

Poisons and DiseasesEdit

Would it be preferable to change the Poisons page to "Poisons and Diseases" rather than creating another page for just diseases? If I don't hear any reason not to do this, I'll make the changes. --Ganteka Future 19:14, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

While it might make sense for diseases that you can buy and inflict on people, I don't think equipment in general is a good place for them. It is not the first place I would think to look for them (or poisons for that matter). I just tossed the diseases into their own table on the Other page, and I'm pretty happy with that solution for now. If we actually get enough diseases on the wiki to warrant something more substantial we can worry about it then. - Tarkisflux 19:17, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
The difrence between Poisons and Diseases are to big to just throw toghter in my mind... like Tarkisflux's ide better, and im gonna bring some diseases to the table over the 1st quater of next year Born to Be Wild 18:07, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
For a location to host diseases (man, that sounds gross), how about on the 3.5e Glossary page? It already has status conditions. Also, my concern for keeping diseases on the equipment listing was because the existing ones were purchasable. If a link is deemed needed from the equipment page, it can just redirect to where ever we decide to host these diseases at. --Ganteka Future 20:27, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
If you want to change it over to host both of them in their purchasable forms, that's cool. The glossary would also be fine, I guess, but none of these are really places I would first look for them. And I'm going to assume that most people are like me in that respect (bad assumption yes, but meh), and ask that even if you do want to add them to those pages you don't remove them from 3.5e Other. - Tarkisflux 01:01, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Just putting it on the record that I said it'd be good for either Equipment or Glossary on IRC on the 17th of December. But yeah, I'd rather see it in the glossary than the equipment page. --Havvy 03:53, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Do we gets a (3.5 Disease or Poison) tag? We hopes! -- Eiji-kun 08:47, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Poisons will likely remain under "(3.5e Equipment)", while diseases will be listed as "(3.5e Disease)". --Ganteka Future 18:44, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Where to put it...Edit

I had an idea to make a soundproof stuff to put on like walls and doors and stuff. But there is no Wondrous Architecture category, and it's mundane anyways. Where would I put this? -- Eiji-kun 15:59, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Go ahead and create one or two I guess. Surgo 16:40, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
?... create one or two where? -- Eiji-kun 17:01, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
I just spoke with Gan and we're brainstorming ATM but me and him are thinking a category called "Architecture" above Vehicles, which lists both house parts like the soundproof foam I'm making, and houses (like a castle). No more handling Stronghold Builder's Guidebook when you can buy a cheap keep with some listed non-intrusive statistics. Ranges from the mundane to flying planehopping castles and stuff. -- Eiji-kun 17:13, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
Yeah that makes sense to me -- I was advocating creating new nav pages. Surgo 17:26, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
