Re: Drop tables

Hey! Yeah, lots of people I've spoken to find it confusing as the colours are off and prefer the OSRS wiki style with drop rates, etc. I was planning on adding the rarity column and hopefully adding the 5 (6) coloured "squares/diamonds" to indicate that players have indeed received this variation of the rarity drop for that item. I was looking into making it interactable so that players could click it to 'brighten' the shape to indicate it has been found. what we see as gamers is a mix between rarity and drop rate and it's confusing people. We also don't know if every item can hit each rarity so this would count for a minor checklist.

Sorry to mess up your code I'm very basic with all of this. :)  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PinnacleHigh (talk) on 12:43, 15 November 2024 (UTC).

So what if Common Guard Steel Toe Boots drops in green blue and purple? To me and others that tells us that it is either A. An uncommon level gear drop. or B. An uncommon chance to drop. There is also a yellow? assuming its for purple but im unsure.

I think if we add the rarity table and add in the coloured squares to be "ticked off" so to speak, and maybe change frequency to rates*, eventually over time those numbers will come out and people will start crunching. Ideally, it would be a perfect world if Brighter Shores transferred each kill data to the wiki (as well as in-game KC tracked if we are wishful thinking).  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PinnacleHigh (talk) on 13:32, 15 November 2024 (UTC).

yeah so that brings me back to my original point of people being confused. So what happens when we get different rarities of an item drop? Or what if people want to farm a specific item for an orange rarity. how will they know if it drops it or not?  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PinnacleHigh (talk) on 14:02, 15 November 2024 (UTC).

Tool page names

I'd try to do this myself but there's a lot of them so if it's possible for you or someone else with AWB or whatnot to automate, that'd probably be much easier. Essentially, all the tool names right now are formatted like "Tier X Tool Name" (e.g. Tier 2 Fishing Spear) but the terminology used in-game and by Andrew on X is "grade" not tier ("grade 2 sickle" in that patch note). All the tool pages should be renamed to be grade rather than tier, and IMO the format should be "Tool Name (grade X)" rather than "Grade X Tool Name" so the page name matches the actual name of the item in-game, with the grade in parenthesis for wiki disambig. That said though, maybe "Grade X Tool Name" is more consistent with the naming used for other items, so it could go either way. --Californ1a (talk) 07:34, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
