Icons

How do i go about obtaining icons ex: "Soul crystal of the Samurai"? or others —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nytetrain (talk).

Hi! Click on the Upload file to upload a file to use it later. People obtain icons from media available from Square Enix, although it's known by the community the usage of data-mining tools that read the game files to extract icons. Valento (talk) 18:16, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Do new images need to be sourced?

I would like to add images to weapons, armor, etc. However, I don't have all of the items, so I'm wondering if it would be okay to take the images from other sources: (Google, Eorzea Database) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nanashin (talk).

Sure, go ahead. You can indicate the source of the image by adding a comment to the image when you're uploading it -Moogle (talk) 17:56, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Is this Wiki going to adopt Visual Editing? Makes things much easier....
