This page is mostly for me to be able to track what I have done or am in the process of doing.

Todo list

• strategy guides for all gathering-type skill nodes
• Dye preview widget - requires CSS gadget to work [shelved]

Alchemist

Worked on setting up the Alchemist profession subpages (I did not make all these pages, but I did contribute to them). This is the most polished profession I have worked on.

Type of page	Status
Potions	The things we want. All pages made, and filled with basic information. Recipe infoboxes created and populated with what information we have.
Facility pages	All potion making facilities get a Skill Node page, basically everything in the Apothecary Descriptions of how to use them all. Added the new Map to all things with a fixed location.
Preparations	Intermediate items made from reagents at the preparation station. All pages made, and filled with basic information. Recipe infoboxes created and populated with what information we have.
Ebsworth Work	Made pages for all passive activities. Still need some xp and coin values.
Tables	SMW/Lua modules to autogenerate the tables of active and passive potions. Now automatically calculates all derived properties like xp/hour and cost per xp. With the bulk of the work done I hope to export and modify these tables for the other professions.
Reagents	Items obtained from other professions which are used by Alchemist. Oh boy there are 180 of these. All reagents have been completed, with links to sources.
Reagent images	Some were missing from the cache dump. It was easier to just screenshot them from the recipe book. Lower resoltion though.
Preparation images	These are not in the cache as individual images, but as base textures and colourmasks to change them for each individual type. Might have to rely on manual images for them, which is then also reliant on having a high enough alchemy level to get to them. I have done up to lvl 56.
Categories and navbox	Put category tags for Potions, Preparations, Potion Reagents. Made an Alchemist Navbox for all relevant pages.
Construct Preparation images	Preparation images may be able to be constructed from the cache images. Each preparation has a base texture and a colour mask. For some preparations we don't yet know which texture to use.
Guide	Made a start at a profession guide
Variant Category pages	Potions, Preparations, Ebsworth Work, and Reagents all done. Body text in place and destubbed.

Other crafting professions

Pretty much the same process, but lacking a lot of the bells and whistles for explanation text

Pages for each item, skill node, and monster were checked to make sure they all existed, and had the right infoboxes, recipes, and profession. Variant Category pages were made to group them together.

Here is a massive table of tables used to check for missing activity data or images for each profession.

Episode	Professions
Hopeport	Guard - data Guard - images	Chef - data Chef - images	Fisher - data Fisher - images	Forager - data Forager - images	Alchemist - data Alchemist - images
Hopeforest	Scout - data Scout - images	Gatherer - data Gatherer - images	Woodcutter - data Woodcutter - images	Carpenter - data Carpenter - images
Mine of Mantuban	Minefighter - data Minefighter - images	Bonewright - data Bonewright - images	Miner - data Miner - images	Blacksmith - data Blacksmith - images	Stonemason - data Stonemason - images
Crenopolis	Watchperson - data Watchperson - images	Detective - data Detective - images	Leatherworker - data Leatherworker - images	Merchant - data Merchant - images
Stonemaw Hill	Shieldbearer - data Shieldbearer - images	Armorer - data Armorer - images	Delver - data Delver - images	Builder - data Builder - images

Merchant and Detective are still ongoing because of how non-standard they are with their different types of activity that cannot easily be compared to one another.

Bonus, skill nodes where the description does not match the item they produce: Template:Sandbox/User:Alsang/NodeDescriptionChecker

Recipe search modules

Module:RecipeTreeSearch lets you search the name of an item to find all the items and their quantity that are needed to craft it, back to the most recent buyable items. E.G. weapons are crafted with Poles, but you can buy Poles so you don't need to craft them from Posts and Logs. It does this by the SMW data for recipes stored as a Recipe JSON.

Then implemented this into Module:Infobox Recipe for creating showFull displays, which improved on the existing method which didn't track quantity of each material. However this module is the one that creates the Recipe JSON data and exports it that the RecipeTreeSearch module uses, so I got in a recursive arrangement where you couldn't create or modify any recipe without it breaking seemingly every other recipe.

But its all fixed now and we have a tool that can be used to make crafting calculators by looking up the raw materials you need to make any item for XP. Its now used in all the active tables for the above skills.

Module:Products has been extended to work for Module:Profession Info so that they appear in the same table.

Category:Profession List Modules is where all the big table generating modules go.

Module:ProfessionList is the new big library of functions for other profession list modules to use. All tables switched to using this library, which also brought to light some errors in the JSON data which was being bypassed when the recipe search was partially SMW.

How mad have I gone?
