In addition to the items displayed on the page, I received bloodstone dust, medallions of the soldier, obsidian shards, and congealed putrescence. I don't know how to add those columns, but would happy to provide data on those.

I also received a medallion of the magi, which I couldn't enter. Daddicus (talk) 21:39, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
And a medallion of the rabid. I suggest putting in some kind of catch-all for the five upgrade items. Daddicus (talk) 21:54, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
And now two congealed putrescenses. Daddicus (talk) 22:01, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Updating and commenting out[edit]

Since the previous table was lacking so much, we're starting fresh. I also simplified the table so it's easier to add items, though be sure to add them to the template as well. Old data stored in the commented out section below. (Only viewable in edit mode)--Rain Spell (talk) 18:29, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Thank you SO much! Daddicus (talk) 17:36, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
I converted my old entries to the new format, and added one more entrie. I also added "Medallion" to the middle of the list and to the template. Daddicus (talk) 22:03, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

A suggestion for comments: Name changes[edit]

I would like to propose changing the names in this table a bit. For the various crates from the various houses, perhaps name them in this form:

  • Crate, Metal, Cowrie League
  • Crate, Wood, Cowrie League
  • Crate, Metal, House of Daoud
  • etc.

This would allow them all to be together alphabetically. That should make them easier to find, copy and paste.

NOTE: "Crate, Cowrie League, Metal" would work instead, if that seems more intuitive.

Something similar could be done for "Unidentified Gear, Common", etc.

Thoughts? Daddicus (talk) 22:27, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

So the old template lets you set labels like that, but the simplified version we're using only lets you put in the item names. At least they only do if you want a nice image. That's why the display page doesn't have anything for T5/T6 mats. We don't have an image matching those terms. If you look at the previously saved data I put, you'll see what I mean by how it makes "encoding" new entries trickier. right now I have them listed alphabetically, though we could rearrange them to be grouped by similarity instead?--Rain Spell (talk) 22:54, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
It's OK as is. I didn't realize that it was connected to the actual names. Daddicus (talk) 14:41, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Changed?[edit]

I received 3 linen scraps today, and two other items. They're not in the list, but I suspect it just auto-opened the crate, or didn't even bother with a crate (it's not in the log). So, perhaps we can consolidate all of the "XYZ crate" into T1 through T6 common crafting mats? Daddicus (talk) 07:43, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Added entry[edit]

I added an entry for T4 gems two from the end of the list. Will someone please check my work to make sure I did it correct? Daddicus (talk) 03:38, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Oh, and see the previous post. I suspect they added T4 materials to the possibilities. Daddicus (talk) 03:39, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
