Updates have been nearly non-existent in the past month or so, which is good... meaning the wiki is in pretty good shape.

I just recently updated Hateborne's (http://ezserver.online/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=558) 2-11-15 Caster Changes (http://ezserver.online/forums/index.php?topic=4621.msg60396;topicseen#new) in several of the articles

Articles that need work listed below, generally in order of importance:

• Bloodmoon Temple (http://ezserverwiki.com/Bloodmoon_Temple) Incomplete
• Epic Weapon Skins (http://ezserverwiki.com/Epic_Weapon_Skins) Mostly complete (but undoubtedly missing many weapons, update if you see one that's not included)
• Frequently Asked Questions (http://www.ezserverwiki.com/Frequently_Asked_Questions) Early Stages
• 1-70 Leveling Zones (http://ezserverwiki.com/Zones) Mostly incomplete
• Guides (http://www.ezserverwiki.com/Guides) Only 2 Guides
• Abyss Expedition (http://www.ezserverwiki.com/Abyss_Guardian_Chambers) Article mostly blank
• Wanted Pages (http://www.ezserverwiki.com/Special:WantedPages) Articles that do not exist but are referenced

And of course, if you see something inaccurate or lacking... fix it :)

On "frequently asked questions" sections...getting through locked doors...an easier way to get through a locked door is to use an illusion item....click item...run at door until you run into it and keep running....click the illusion off...pop through the door....if it doesn't work the first time...rinse and repeat

And contrary to what some might tell you, this is not an exploit.....or at least it wasnt live. When we pointed this out to devs back in 99 they replied that it was working as intended. One guide even "named" it, stating "It's ok to use your skeleton key" (since it was almost always done using AoN).

Orthanos - thanks, added your bit to FAQ (http://www.ezserverwiki.com/Frequently_Asked_Questions)  :)

Chunka - lol to devs circa 1999 being okay with "skeleton key"

- on that note though, the monk's signature Feign Death pull wasn't intended either, but the illusion door skip is clearly a glitch... guess the devs just didn't want to mess with such a gaping glitch hole.

Hate - Noticed you joined the Wiki and did some updates, I sincerely appreciate the assistance with spell updates.  I haven't been around much recently, but it's a bear to keep them up to date.

Thanks again :)

I'll be backfilling a LOT of that information this week or next. I used it so heavily as a resource to update my internal docs that I might as well fully flesh it out.

This is a crazy petty request, but could some one please sort the spells on class pages by drop tier, then alphabetically? If not, I can do it but it's an organizational thing that makes reading it 100x easier.


-Hate

I can try tonight, it bugged me too lol.

That's good to hear, some of it wasn't clear from the descriptions, or tough to find, etc.


If Warbash doesn't beat me to it, I can look tonight if I get the chance, I had it all in an Excel sheet, although I can't say with any certainty that I saved it  :'(

Darpey and I talked about ways to better present the info on the spells but neither of us are wizards at Wiki's, anyone with a better way to do so, definitely, have at it :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table/Sortable_tables

I'll see what I can do later. :-)


-Hate

Easiest way I can see is to either
1) add a new field specifically for tier, or
2) add a blip before the location name in "drops from" table.

imma try some stuff in the chanter page right now, will update in a few

Ok, so I went ahead and did that all. just adding the tier number in front of the tier name works beautifully, however to show the list sorted 'properly' from the very start, you have to put it into the wiki in the right order. SO. I did that, for enchanter, and it took me like an hour to do it, and I'm not doing it again for the other pages. Although if I get bored this weekend and no one else has done it, I may write a script to do it for me.
TLDR enchanter spell list is pretty now

using your tier structure it took me 1 minute to do 1 character on Darpeys. just click the header and it sorts it :) as it has what Hate posted but user has to do that when they view it.

well yeah but i wanted it to be SUPER nice :P

When doing this, make sure to keep the bracketed links in-tact. If you change them even by one character it breaks the link

Example:
[[Plane of Dragons]] ORIGINAL: GOOD
[[T1/T2 Plane of Dragons]] MODIFIED: BAD - broken link ("T1/T2" inside brackets)
T1/T2 [[Plane of Dragons]] MODIFIED: GOOD - working link ("T1/T2" outside brackets)

Whoops :)

The sortable tables make a world of difference.


-Hate

Just throwing this out there, if there are items you cannot find, email me a list of items that need screenshots or abilities that need clarifying.

One example I see offhand is the Earring of the Mystic Ages needing a screenshot. :-)


-Hate

The most accessed page (other than the main page) is Epic Weapon Skins (http://ezserverwiki.com/Epic_Weapon_Skins)

This page was updated by Me, Rent, RedDwarf, Huffdaddy, and Arthon just by looking at our own weapon collections at the time. Undoubtedly we have missed numerous weapons.

As you see them in game, or if you know offhand of the name of a weapon and tier, please add weapons not currently on wiki to the page.

If you don't have time, or don't know how to add them to page, PM one of the wiki editors, or repost with the name of a weapon not in wiki and its tier and someone can easily fill in the rest using info and screenshot from Bazaar

Gracias.

Mistress of the Sea is missing from the list, the Special weapon skin from Abyss. Clueless as to what the focus effect actually does.

edit: Missing the special range from T7 as well

Not 100% certain but I think 383 is chance for double cast.

Added thanks Digz

Can't say I've ever seen that range drop

I have 2 or 3 but very rare

All your spell effects broken down in a nice, easy readable/searchable list.


-Hate

All class pages have sorted and labeled tiers.

It should now be more easy to spot if there are any missing spells from the wiki page - please update or post on this thread if you know of a spell that isn't on wiki, or is inaccurate.

Also there are a few missing spell pages, that will show up in red  for the link, which need updating

Thanks Phah, Warbash, Arthon, and Hateborne for sorting and labeling

I'll devote a small window of time to spot checking for missing spells. Spell ranks will likely have to wait until another day. :-)

Knight 1hs not on wiki's t9 weapons

Is that T10 in the background? I remember it looking sandy. Did you release an accidental second teaser?

Heh I am LIVING in this zone 20-30h a week right now. So yes, it is. :-)


-Hate

Flowing Black Robe   Firiona Vie   firiona   Vekis
Flowing Black Robe   Najena   najena   Najena

Flowing Black Robe is showing up twice in the CG quest page (http://ezserverwiki.com/Caster%27s_Guild_Quest)

I haven't done this quest in forever... are there two locations this item can be looted? or is one of these wrong?

yes you can get it in 2 places

Changed it to use rowspan - it looks a tiny bit nicer that way imo. also added a second spot to get the shining metallic robe :)

Nice - Didn't know about rowspan... look at you being all fancy.

Well done  ;D

he did make a mistake in OOC and accidently told everyone who was on what zone he was working in......... but I wont spoil it ill let hate do that again later.

Yeah yeah, shuddap.


-Hate

Whaa?

Think he's talking about mistress

sorry weed and english isnt a good combi ;p

My current project at work involves combing through a bunch of old logs, which I then document on a wiki. /yuck But, I've learned a bunch (too much?) about wiki formatting.

ALSO, super hyped to watch you guys suffer through T10 xD

In your spare time, feel free to look at all the pages and cleanup/modify/update/make more user friendly anything.

No, really....I'm serious  ;)

Thanks for your contributions, Darpey's vision for the wiki from the get go was that it would be a true community effort.  I was an early convert and am glad to see quite a few folks have taken an interest in it.

If anyone other than Darpey is truly contributing on a large scale, PM me and let me know what all you're doing with it and I can likely help make it easier for you.

found another special item out of the T7 mini that ive never seen before, figured u would want it added to the wiki. This one must be ultra rare because ive got about 8-9 of the jewelers candlelight and only 1 of these.

(http://i.imgur.com/06kIVTk.jpg)

I've done the T7 mini a total of never. Have seen the bucket several times (4 of my characters have em, I've given several way and have let even more rot) in T7, though.....far more often than the candle. Probably just an rng thing.

the candle torch and that thing both from T7 mini or from the Lopingplains ?

Yes

Added - thank you :)
