    I'll mark the Iron Bar as removed, which should take care of that. Thanks!

    I had made a Dagger with Constantin blade and Bronze hilt the stats were: Damage 3-10, critical 20%, parry 9-30 damage reduction, +2% weapon critical chance, +1% spell damage. I was expecting some kind of haste with this but alas this latest release seems to be changing some things.

    Sorry, the material bonuses on the wiki are pretty out of date. They are my next big project to update, so hopefully this weekend. SotaCraft has a pretty good list of materials tho, and it appears that the +2 crit and +1% spell dmg are correct.

    You can post them here or send me a private message. Please include the entire stats block, or a screenshot if you'd prefer.

    I was gonna toss some stats in the infobox for a few Prosperity tools (starting with the Hoe of Prosperity) and I thought I could simply add two more rows to the table, but I guess I don't know how to do that.

    I tried this:
    Code:
    |type=Tool
    |weight=0.1
    |durability=100
    |bonus= +3% Agriculture Success Chance
    (I added line 1 and 4 in the above code)
    I'd like to add rows for the "Type" (Tool vs WeaponClass) and "Bonus" (stats) for these items since I am just now comparing the stats between all 3 crafting tool sets and can't find any info on them anywhere (Prosperity vs. Founder's Artisan vs. Artisan).

    Now that I'm in game for good (hooray persistence) I'd love to contribute to the wiki more! Cheers!

    That sounds great, Ember! Thanks.

    To do what you want, you should be able to add this to the Infobox:
    Code:
    |itemtype=Tool
    |bonus1=Agriculture Success Chance
    |bdesc1=+3%
    
    For items with multiple bonuses, you can use pairs of "bonus2/bdesc2", "bonus3/bdesc3", and "bonus4/bdesc4". If you run into something with more than four bonuses, let me know.

    This is kind of a holdover from when crafting has bonuses like "Crushing" that gave "+0.1 Melee Damage", so we split the bonus into two fields to account for that. Since that is no longer the case, I might need to go revisit this at some point.

    Thanks for contributing!

    Question: do you all have to do your own coding on the backend for the layout of the wiki articles? CSS/HTML stuff? I edited the info box on the Hoe of Prosperity item, but the table looks funny IMHO with the stat name crammed into the right side. I was hoping it would be organized something more like this:

    Type | Tool
    Weight | 0.1
    Durability | 100/100 Indestructible
    Stat 1 | +3% Agriculture Success Chance
    Stat 2 | +100% Something Else
    Stat 3 | +100% Something Else
    Stat 4 | +100% Something Else

    Yeah, we have templates that we use to control layout, and each has to be manually coded. Here is Infobox Item, for example. My plan is to show the bonuses much closer to what we see in-game, so each bonus would be a full width line. I'd like to do something similar with material bonuses. We also need to add a tag for indestructible on durability.

    I'll try to make that my goal for the week, and I'll let you know when its working.

    Thanks!

    A big benefit of using the bonus1 and bdisc1 stuff is that it links back to what that stat actually does. As we get confirmed usage information and test it we can update that. Some people are very confused about what those bonuses actually do for them. So if the enhancement is to item strength someone might think "this will make me hit stronger" when it actually doesn't. I hope that makes sense... also, thanks for updating! I've been going nuts on carpentry stuff and I'm about to move into alchemy stuff :)

    p.s. if you verify a recipe is working can you please set the "|lastseen=32" at the bottom of the recipe? Thanks!

    Helps to update the http://sotawiki.net/sota/SotAWiki:RecipeCheck list :D

    I'll try to verify as many as I can over the next few days.

    Wands no longer need cores.
    wand = 1 heartwood, 1 strap, 3 wax

    I updated that a few hours ago. The other sub recipes still need updates most likely but the main recipe that they all link back to is updated. Thanks for the information! (enhancement types will be secondary focus as primary crafting recipes are harder for discovery than cycling what type of wooden/strap you need for what type of weapon enhancement).

    If you have time and want to update any of the sub recipes please feel free!

    In response to a query from someone seeking a place for their home, I've updated the Housing Lots template to create properties for the total of each type of lot in the town, which we can then query. Using this, I created a quick Lot finder topic. This might be useful for those of you who are looking for towns which contain a specific size of lot.

    Note that not all towns have been entered into SotAwiki, and this doesn't indicate *available* lots, simply their presence.

    This page needs to be deleted: http://sotawiki.net/sota/Meteoric_iron_ingot

    Note the words in the title that begin with lower case. Not only is it confusing, it is also wrong.

    I'm still too new at this wiki to fix this yet. I'm not used to doing new pages or deleting pages.

    Hedge fence recipes specify pine wood, but maple works just fine too.

    I noticed that as well. I'll need to make a generic wood entry, with both actual recipes listed. Thanks!
