Coordinates of vendors in housing districts

The coordinates for vendors in subdivisions are different than they are in the main division. For example Material Supplier (The Goblet) is listed at 10.9,8.9, which is true for the main division, but the subdivsion one is located at 13.5,10.9. Is there anyway to add this to the relevant Infoboxes? SashenkaKun (talk) 17:17, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

The only way right now would be to add a the following above the "Items for Sale" section. It won't show in vendor tables, though. Technically these are actually different NPCs with identical names and inventory. Freedom4556 (talk) 23:49, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

This:

==Locations==

{{NPC location table header}}

{{NPC location info|The Goblet|10.9,8.9|-}}

{{NPC location info|The Goblet (Subdivision)|13.5,10.9|-}}

|}

Generates this:

Locations

Zone	Coordinates	Level range
The Goblet	(X:10.9, Y:8.9)	—
The Goblet (Subdivision)	(X:13.5, Y:10.9)	—

Proposal to change the default tick colour to blue

An example of how the proposed blue tick might look in context

In the interests of allowing the check mark to be easily distinguishable from the red cross (0) by colour-blind people, I'd like to propose that we change the default colour to blue.

Specifically, I'd like to use this image, which I just uploaded: . It's based on the existing green tick () but is much more easily distinguished by most colour-blind people.

What are people's thoughts? --Sophira (talk) 09:43, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Note that the mounts table as it currently stands on the Mounts page does *not* use the red cross, unlike in the example screenshot I uploaded. I believe that using the red cross instead of the grey cross would increase visibility in some cases, but it would heavily reduce visibility for most colour-blind people unless the default tick colour was changed, which is part of my motivation for making this proposal. --Sophira (talk) 09:50, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Change implemented as depicted. Freedom4556 (talk) 17:35, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

I think I like it better this new way, even though I am not colorblind. It's more aesthetically pleasing IMO on top of having improved accessibility. Feronar (talk) 03:33, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Dark mode

Would it be possible to have a dark mode? Mediawiki has extensions for it. Aerendyl (talk) 20:44, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Yes, please. I would love to have a dark mode. Feronar (talk) 03:20, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Level 50 Gear

I just found iL136 accessories in The Aery. Why aren't they listed?

The_Aery#Loot is level 55 Item Level 136 gear? It's on Earrings#Level_51_-_60 right where'd you'd expect it to be?

No leveling dungeon gear will be listed on an Endgame Gear Guide? 19:55, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

Water Crystals

Greetings,

There are locations unlisted for Water Crystal gathering points. Specifically, the Ok'Gundu area in the Sea of Clouds (Heavensward). This is an important location because it doesn't require being high enough level or progress for the Level 70 nodes that are the current minimum on the list. I would edit this page to reflect however I have no idea how to edit the "No gathering nodes found that match the constraints of the query."

Cheers.

Temporary fix. Eventually the Gathering list will be complete and I will remove the manual entries. Freedom4556 (talk) 19:19, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Listing of mobs being unclear

I have noticed asim doing hunts or trying to gather sometimes mobs are listed with there location in quests, this can be confusing whentrying to find them, could we maybe add something in the location table to say if thats the location of a mob in a quest?

Add minor detail to P11s: (Savage) page

This was a newly created account to document a rare mechanic in "Anabaseios: The Eleventh Circle (Savage)". Unfortunately, an automatic filter prevents me from editing the page, so if somebody sees this, may they consider adding it? -Khionae

• If the Dark and Light Tether is broken (I.e. by a player disconnecting), it creates a shockwave that deals damage to all players and inflicts Polarizing on them.

This has been added. - Dr Agon (talk) 06:58, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Wiki translations?

Hi! Does the framework this wiki is built on allow the management of different languages? Like there is on Wikipedia for example. This wiki is way more usable than Lodestone and I think it would really benefit from being multilingual. - Badong

While useful, I don't think there are enough active editors who could maintain such a project. - Dr Agon (talk) 23:17, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Having any pages translated would be beneficial, including for the English wiki (since interlanguage links would link back to us, increasing traffic and furthering SEO). We would just need to 'link' both wikis initially using some sort of code, not sure how that all works. After that, it's simply a matter of placing [[fr:Hydaelyn]] on the Hydaelyn page, for example. Based on my experiences editing other wikis (including FF series in other languages), I think it could really be good -Chadimus Rex (talk) 13:29, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

The wiki owner would be in charge of setting up any inter-language wikis. You can email them on [email protected] - they're more likely to respond there instead of leaving a message on their talk page. - Dr Agon (talk) 20:32, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Removal of "Dragonsong Token"

The page for the Dragonsong Totem item previously redirected to a page called "Dragonsong Token". I've removed the redirect, copied over the info from the "Dragonsong Token" page, and edited the table for the appropriate vendor to reflect the correct item name, but I can't delete the "Dragonsong Token" page. Could someone with the correct permissions do so? TrainerRedstone7 (talk) 05:56, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Dragonsong Token has now been redirected to Dragonsong Totem. - Dr Agon (talk) 06:01, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Vanu Vanu naming may cause confusion

laii Gundu tribe: Lan'laii Gundu, Nat'laii Gundu, Vuk'laii Gundu

laii Vundu tribe: Lan'laii Vundu, Nat'laii Vundu, Vuk'laii Vundu

loii Vundu tribe: Lan'loii Vundu, Nat'loii Vundu, Vuk'loii Vundu

While editing these pages I found it to be very confusing. I think these pages would benefit with a clear table or some kind of "not to be confused with..." message at the top of the page. Dasaru (talk) 18:50, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Adamantite Ore/Wyrm Obsidian icon confusion

Hi,

The same icon is being used for both the Adamantite Ore page and the Wyrm Obsidian page, despite them having different icons in game. The current icon reflects Wyrm Obsidian, whereas the old one is Adamantite Ore. I can see it was intentionally replaced, so I don't want to change anything, but if anyone could explain/fix what's happened here that would be appreciated!

I replaced the adamantite ore icon with the correct one. - Dr Agon (talk) 16:24, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Page name spelling error

The page name for Punuitiy Crossing Orchestrion Roll is spelled incorrectly; the spelling in game is "Punutiy" (no i between the u and t). I'm not sure how to change this, so if anyone knows how to fix that would be great :) Thank you!

This has now been corrected. The name was actually misspelled in the game but it was fixed in a recent patch. - Dr Agon (talk) 17:41, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Music parameter for area infobox

Hello,

Would it be possible to add a music parameter for the Template:Area infobox? Something like how it looks on mount pages, e.g. Torgal (mount). I often find myself searching for the music played in specific areas to farm/buy the Orchestrion Rolls, and I figure other people may be the same.
