Talk:Invention Salvage

o.o these are the new salvage bits that don't have a pairing yet. I'll check and see if there is one for them soon. Most likely, they're going to be Winter Event 2007 invention salvage that will be tied up in the promised event base items. Who knows, we might even see the two i5 winter salvage items that where never used moved over to this ^^ of course, these items are also prime canidates for being moved over to Misc Salvage till next december, or till some evidence shows as to whether they should be in Event Salvage or a new category entirly. --Sleepy Kitty 11:22, 15 January 2007 (PST)

rarities

I added Rarity and Type info to the Energy Weapon entry. Interested in feedback on how this info should be presented before I do more. Also, some sort of salvage reference table akin to the Set IO table would be fabulous. --Colonel Jasmine 08:40, 3 May 2007 (EDT)--Colonel Jasmine 08:40, 3 May 2007 (EDT)

Tech/Arcane

I think this list should be separated into two subheadings, Tech and Arcane, to better distinguish the two groupings. Additionally, adding the mob drop information to the page would be great for a centralized location of that info (instead of having to visit a tech salvage page and an arcane salvage page to get the whole list); unless I'm missing something that has that listed elsewhere, in which case it needs to be in a more obvious spot. If this is agreeable, I'll drop in the changes tomorrow. Martavius 02:33, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

o.o I think I might have misunderstood part of what you typed here.. there is a single page with all the invention salvage on it. If you want to make any more grouped pages based on arcane vs tech, or lvl dropping (I believe I saw a page made a bit ago that was horribly misnamed but had a wonderful table), feel free to. I'll later link them up (feel free to drop the name on my talk page and I can get to it quicker instead of hunting) and refine them a bit. If I misunderstood what you mean, pls let me know =^^= --Sleepy Kitty 07:06, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

I just split them out based on tech versus arcane, not sure it's ideal but it's using DPL which means it pulls the information from each salvage page, saving us from having manually change this page if the information gets updated. The biggest drawback is that the TOC doesn't work properly with DPL; I'm not sure how big of a deal that is. If people really need the TOC, then the page will have to be reverted, or I'll have to figure out what's breaking the TOC when I make the salvage items show up in it. Oh, and if we don't want to actually split them out by Tech/Arcane, I can change the DPL query to combine them both into one list. -- Sekoia 07:36, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

o.o I just noticed it and was writing about it to your talk page.. thats playing merry mayhem on the pages ToC making seek time for things really awful... that alone make me want to undo it. This page is intended to be one big listing of all invention salvage, a seperate page should be made for alternate sorts. we can just add a cross linker to the top (instead or also with the usual one in See Also) so that ppl that just want a short list to see what they can expect from a crey mission or such to look at. --Sleepy Kitty 07:42, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

<.< oh, and slightly off topic but.. I noticed you where adding common and rare to the individual pages, and I was going to make a suggestion.. o,o have you considered changing the templates so they're properly in-game color coded? So that those 2 words come out in yellow or orange to help make it stand out.--Sleepy Kitty 07:46, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

Okay I reverted the DPL stuff. Until I can figure out how to make it play nicely with the TOC, it'll have to be omitted here I guess. :/ Oh, and I updated the uncommon/rare template to use the same colors used in this article. I hadn't really thought about that. :) -- Sekoia 07:54, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

=^^= looks good. I'd though about adding the c/u/r to the salvage pages, just hadn't put any though to it yet. Credit should go to Zehntaur, I wouldn't have though to color code them without seeing what he'd done to the salvage (which I had been thinking about coding due to the new color of the drop texts in-game.. its a long and convoluted thought process.. >.>). o.o the ToC is one of the key things for wiki's as far as I've seen. A good one will help when your in a hurry (or lazy and don't want to have to scan to much of the page..).. having most of it disappear for some 108 items... kinda scary. Anyway, if you get the chance, pls have a look at Talk:Invention Jump Recipe, I had a bit of a question about the isalvage tags since.. well, I explain there ^^ I'm off to bed now, hope your day goes well!--Sleepy Kitty 08:03, 11 May 2007 (EDT)
