I'm going to side on the side of thoroughness, so I do like the additional information. However, I do feel that it could be broken up and compressed some; right now it's visually a long list of stats just being placed together. Possible changes are compressing armor class and slot together (light head armor) and finding a shorter way to indicate rarity that doesn't require its own line. I would also request giving some visual space, break, or line between the armor characteristics and the actual armor stats to decrease the density of numbers and allow for some easier 'chunking' of the information.

Is it anything like what you wanted? As for the rarity I'm still thinking how to put the background color of the name. Lasha 11:13, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
I like 'em :). The division does help, I believe, and it makes it much easier to interpret. Another thing that occurs to me is if it's necessary to have 'Soulbound' as an official line--how commonplace is something being 'Soulbound'? Are most things soulbound? Is it a minority? Depending on the situation, it might be more worthwhile to have Soulbound pop up under the armor class on the right if it's toggled 'yes' and to simply be absent otherwise. Thanks for all your effort. Redshift 03:21, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
At now, the soulbound is opcional, only it's paint with 'yes'. Would add more runes and the possibility of slot empty but they are minor modifications. For me, it would be ready to take someone who knows and put it to use as definitive. Lasha 08:43, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Crafting[edit]

Whoever made the recipe template and originally set it up made it so that there isn't anything that needs to be added to the infobox and that recipe can be added onto the page like what you have there. There are a couple things that would be different on the pages but wouldn't effect your infobox in any way. Like the stats in the infobox, instead when filling out the template on the page they might put Unique Stats and then the different versions would be outlined in the recipes below like on Bronze Dagger. But like I said, that isn't something that changes your template at all.

The only thing that needs to be changed is that Rune: 1 Unused Upgrade Slot. Runes can be applied to any armor, what the upgrade slot is for is things like Ruby Sliver. The best way to add this I can think of is to add another optional item to that list. So add in like {{#if: {{{upgrade|}}} | ;[[Upgrade component|Upgrade]]:{{{upgrade|}}} |}} then the person would add in 1 slot or 2 slots or could list an item if it already has one embedded. I don't really know much about those or if they will ever actually have more than 1 open slot or if any come embedded with something at the start, but this would leave it open for whatever happens. If you add this, I would put it just above the Rune in the infobox. User Mattsta Sig1.jpgUser Mattsta Sig2.jpg 16:57, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Modified. You like the change with upgrade? Lasha 21:17, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, that looks good. User Mattsta Sig1.jpgUser Mattsta Sig2.jpg 21:33, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
