Wiki Guardian
Hello. I accepted your claim to be a Wiki Guardian for ArcheAge Wiki. I'm the Wiki Manager for this wiki so let me know if you need any help with anything. --Sigilbaram (talk) 17:46, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

-- Thank you very much. I will do my best to help the wiki out as much as I can. If I run into problems I'll definitely ask you. Johnnei (talk) 18:03, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Blocking IP addresses
Hey. Saw that you blocked an IP address permanently. We generally only block IPs for a couple weeks, because IPs are usually assigned dynamically by ISPs. Blocks on Gamepedia are shared across all wikis, so we could end up with a lot of IPs blocked, and then some legitimate contributor might get assigned a blocked IP by their ISP and not be able to edit for something someone else did. If you see the same IP coming back after a few weeks we can up the ban to a few months, or possibly consider a permanent ban if it looks like an IP spooffer (127.0.0.1 should NEVER be editing the wiki, for example, since it would be the server the wiki is on, so if it shows up it is someone faking their IP). --Sigilbaram (talk) 17:41, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

- Okey, I'll keep that in mind. Johnnei (talk) 17:49, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

Snipe
There is a third skill name "Snipe" which probably belongs to a mount, but I'm not sure which one it would be and was wondering if you know? It is this page: Data:Skills/Snipe (24020). --Sigilbaram (talk) 21:42, 26 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Here is a page with it in infobox format instead of the data page: Snipe (???). --Sigilbaram (talk) 21:48, 26 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Am afraid not. My mount unlocked Drop Back at lv15, and the only other Snipe skill I managed to find is in archery at lv55. Johnnei (talk) 07:59, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * My friend confirmed that he has Basic Snipe with the same description on his Violet Elk, but he'll only unlock it at level 20 and not level 15. Johnnei (talk) 11:11, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Skill rank data
Over the weekend I was talking with the people who do the data dump and he figured out the skill ranks (evidently the game does awkward math rather than just having a table of values). The data I was uploading was wrong anyway since it included +5% for the two handed weapon buff and +5% from the cloth armor set buff (didn't realize those were affecting the tooltips). The skill descriptions now include the rank 9 data by default and have the other ranks embed so that we could add some javascript to dynamically change them with a slider or something once we add the js to the wiki and make any needed changes to the templates. --Sigilbaram (talk) 19:26, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I was already trying to see if I could find patterns in them as I saw other sites just noting some equation for the values. And the +x% effects would explain why I've seen rank ups which don't seem to scale properly as well. So I probably posted some invalid data for Archery, Shadowplay and Auramancy as well then (as that is my current spec :p). --Johnnei (talk) 20:06, 6 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I've started working on getting this to show up. Antithesis and Resurgence are working for example. There are some skills that didn't make it, though, such as Ode to Recovery and Rhythmic Renewal. Once show skill rank data is fully complete we can make a list of any cases were the import failed, though I've already let them know about some of them. --Sigilbaram (talk) 08:47, 10 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Alright, if I can help with any of it feel free to ask me. I did checkout the template quickly (as I am at school right now) and saw that you use the same fix as I used in the crafting template to have loops: not and just hardcode them in. I think those templates could benefit of an extension like LoopFunctions Extension. Having loops allows for making easier edits (as you don't need to do it for each iteration). --Johnnei (talk) 09:49, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Rarity Color
That was me editing rarity color. It logged me out for some reason. heh --Sigilbaram (talk) 17:24, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Okey, still disagree that it's supposed to be white though. The brownish one seems to be more correct imo. --Johnnei (talk) 17:30, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * You are right... I was looking at the list in help tooltip in game and it is white in the list but then on items it is that brownish color. Strangeness. --Sigilbaram (talk) 17:51, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * The item box around the item is white, but the color of the name isn't. That one seems to be the only mismatch (afaik). --Johnnei (talk) 18:07, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
