Karuberu - Monster Template
Heya. I always thought it looked a bit weird how the part in monster pages is aligned to the left side of the box. In my opinion, it looks better when centered like in my memo/test page here and here. There's the name of the monster as well but don't let it distract you. I'm sure you get my point though. ^^ Anyways, what do you think? Sore wa sore, kore wa kore... 11:06, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Haha, yeah I've felt the exact same thing. It's a bit odd with the drops aligned to the left and if we'd align those to the center, it wouldn't look too good. But ye, I really like the zone in the center more, definitely. Sore wa sore, kore wa kore... 21:19, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

About Multiple, Identical Loot
I know this has been talked a lot here and there but I never really saw any real conclusion for it. I noticed your edit on the ram, which is one of those that had been changed to "add just 1 for multiple" by others, not me, but I do agree with this way, because over 100% just does not make sense in my opinion. Sure, I can see why people go with the "drop rate can go over 100% with multiples" but I just don't agree with it, because in sense, it would mean that if I go kill one, I would always get something, which is not true. This is why I'd prefer the way of counting multiples as one though more than that, I'd like to count 1 as its own, and have another column for the ones exceeding that like we already do have on some pages. Meaning something along the lines of:


 * Lanolin
 * Ram Horn
 * Ram Horn x2
 * Ram Skin
 * Ram Skin x2
 * Ram Skin x3
 * Ram Skin x4
 * Ram Skin x5
 * Ram Skin x6

Anyways, I just don't like the 100% plus idea. Trasure Hunter already skews the results enough heh, but in the end, I don't really care about the drop rates after all. If something drops, it drops. If not, then we try again! Anyways, just my thoughts. :] --Sore wa sore, kore wa kore... 03:03, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, forgot to mention why I did the (0-2). That's because on many pages I see different variations of (0 to 2) and so on. I think (0-2) is easier to remember, for everyone what comes to formatting! ^^ --Sore wa sore, kore wa kore... 03:04, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I figured the "(up to x#)" thing and I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but I see it often vary a little so I was thinking if it could be something "easier to remember" hehe.

Anyways, I've actually been thinking a long time that there should, and why shouldn't there be, a template just for multidrop. I think it could make things better, or at least I would personally like it over having a rate >100%, not that I can't live with it, but it just seems funky. I do like both of the ideas you brought up a lot, perhaps a bit more of the 'new template just for this' since like you said, modifying the old might just bring up unneeded confusion as it doesn't exactly happen with every drop. I don't think I could think of anything better at least for the time being and if nothing is being done about this, there will always be some who want to add all, and others who want to count them as one, me thinks. --Sore wa sore, kore wa kore... 05:43, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

Great! An yeah, time does fly indeed. >.< --Sore wa sore, kore wa kore... 15:42, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

Guild Resale Price
Hallo. What do you think about creating a little simple template similar to, for the Guild Price? Often I see the Guild Price added and mixed with the regular, Standard Merchant price and that's not exactly a good thing in my opinion. Thus, I think a separate or something would be good, as some people already are adding it like that, into the same box with Resale Price, but if it's a link, it's a red one and if not a link, then it is just plain (and varying) "Guild Price:". Now, where would it link, though? The Resale Price links to the Standard Merchant page so perhaps the Guild one should link to Guild Merchant. It is not too useful, however. One idea I had, would link it to one of the Guild Shops in question, or to a list of Guild Merchants. Perhaps the template could have more than the function of linking to a page? As in,. I don't know how it would be best made really, but you get the idea from this, I'm sure. --Sore wa sore, kore wa kore... 14:26, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Mmm, good points. I think this "issue" has been more apparent to me as of late because I've been fishing a lot (several days ugh...) and while a lot of fishies are sold to, but not purchased from the guild, a lot of times the Guild price has been mentioned below the regular price (or mixed in with the regular one). Would be nice if you can come up with something for it, and I'm sure you can! Now, let's see if my first try at a custom signature works as intented and doesn't break anything... ;V 08:35, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

OK, good job as usual. I like it! 08:20, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

The founders and administrators of FFXIclopedia and Eorzeapedia, together with the podcast gurus over at Pet Food Alpha, Limit Break Radio and the Aetheryte Radio Network - are excited to announce their newest project - Gamerescape.com. Gamer Escape draws upon, and expands on, our collective experiences. We're combining the wiki platforms where you can get your information, podcasting platforms where you can listen to your favorite podcasting personalities, wordpress/news platform so you can quickly see what is going on with your favorite game, and of course, forums to allow you to discuss everything game related with the community.

What does that mean for FFXIclopedia?

We've copied the FFXIclopedia wiki content over to Gamerescape in order to seed and expand upon the wiki over there. FFXIclopedia will, of course, remain at Wikia and remain open and available for editing. To be clear, while there have been a few rather public departures from Wikia in the past few months, they are not a factor in our decision. The reality is that Wikia provides a great service for wikis and was a fine home for the past few years. They allow anyone with one click to try their hand at starting a wiki and a community. That is invaluable and, looking at Wikia's growth, has served them well. In light of some the recent public departures, we feel it was important to make this clear.

We are making this announcement because (i) we are truly excited about what we're launching; and (ii) you, the community, should know that the founders and some of the current admins and moderators will not be here, but will be developing the FFXI wiki/forums over at gamerescape.

What else is over at Gamerescape?

In addition to the content from the FFXIclopedia wiki, we have integrated Eorzeapedia - so all of your FFXI and FFXIV information is on the same site, just a click or two away. Also, in addition to FFXI and FFXIV, we've launched WakfuEscape, a platform dedicated to the upcoming Wakfu MMO (distributed by Square Enix). Complete with news platforms, forums and podcasts - we're continuing in our efforts to provide a site where you can get all of your gaming information without having to jump from site to site.

We've learned a lot since 2004 when we started FFXIclopedia, a lot of which is reflected in our new FFXIV and Wakfu wikis. We remain nothing more than a group of gamers at heart who enjoy playing games and helping the community develop a resource for those games. We're looking forward to continuing that effort over at GamerEscape.com. We hope to see all of you there.

PS. For those that have an Eorzeapedia.com account - your log-in credentials should work at any GamerEscape.com site.
