ROWiki:Equipment

This is the page to coordinate the pages on the game's equipment, ie: Weapons, Armor and Amulets and Rings.

The aim is to have lists of all the equipment items available in the game. These lists will each be on the page for the category of item. These pages are:

• Weapons: Short Bows, Long Bows, Staves, Clubs, Hammers, Maces, Axes, Swords, Spears and Rapiers.
• Armor: Breastplates, Gauntlets, Helms, Leggings, Pauldrons, Gloves, Hats and Tunics.
• Accessories: Amulets and Rings

The format of these pages will be:

• An introductory description on the weapon/armor type
• A table of all the weapons/armors of this type, allowing easy comparison
• Sections for each of the weapons/armors showing detailed information, inculding where they can be obtained, and any notes, for each.

Currently the best examples of this are at Amulets and Rings, and also Short Bows.

The next stage is to list all the equipment available at each seller. Each seller has one or more "instances" of each certain equipment piece, with the additional attributes of quality and material. These two attributes affect the equipment's durability, and damage and hit chance bonuses.

How exactly this information will be presented is yet to be decided.

Adding equipment

Each piece of equipment will use one of three templates: {{weapon}}, {{armor}} or {{accessory}} for amulets and rings. However the best way to add equipment will be from this page.

Adding each piece is a 3-step process.

Step 1

This step creates the page for the piece of equipment. These pages will be in the template: namespace since they will not be used as stand-alone pages, rather added onto the "type" pages as explained above.

Use the appropriate box here to create the page and then fill in the template and save. Add the item name after the "Template:" (use Title Case) and click create.

Weapons <createbox> default=Template: preload=Project:Preload Templates/Weapon/Content buttonlabel=Create width=30 break=no </createbox>

Armor <createbox> default=Template: preload=Project:Preload Templates/Accessory/Content buttonlabel=Create width=30 break=no </createbox> Not working yet

Accessories <createbox> default=Template: preload=Project:Preload Templates/Accessory/Content buttonlabel=Create width=30 break=no </createbox> Not working yet

Step 2

This step creates the redirect. Not available yet.

Step 3

The template for the weapon/armor needs to be added to the appropriate page for its type. The best way to see how this is done is currently at Short Bows. However this step is going to be made easier.
