Hello! For editing the Armor Up page, you dont need to know about templates. Here's what I was doing when I first started to edit pages:

• I try to find a similar quest page that is complete and organized, preferably given by the same npc. The quest The Brainy Alchemist for example is given by the same npc.
• I click edit to the page I found and copy the contents. Then I click edit to the page I want to edit and paste the contents.
• Then I start to edit the text. I change the parts and titles whenever necessary or delete the ones that are not applicable to the current page.
• I click the Show Preview button to see the preview of the page after each part I edited.

No need to be too cautious about the form of the page since even if something is wrong on the page, Sysops will fix it. I hope this helps. Nimuaq 22:20, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

6,000th Article

The Ruined Tapestry article you created is the 6,000th made on UOGuide. Thanks for helping out. - JC the Builder 17:29, 23 October 2010 (PDT)

Vendors

As you already pointed out, our vendor calculator is outdated and we have to adjust it based on the information you have provided on that page. However, I think we first need to figure out the way it adjusts the prices for some of these "exceptional" items. I first thought it adjusts the price based on the price of the item on an npc vendor, as in, it takes into account the base price of the item on an npc vendor if it is priced less. Unfortunately this doesn't hold for most of the items like artifacts and especially for blackrock stew. Imbuing weight and insurance cost are also dont seem to be related. I'm still trying to figure out how it adjusts the prices of these items that are exceptions. Nimuaq 10:53, 6 June 2011 (PDT)

I love this wiki but am not sure if I should talk to you in this area or your own user talk. Anyways as you said "I'm still trying to figure out how it adjusts the prices of these items that are exceptions." well you and me both lol. I have only found the exceptions here and there. I have found blackrock stew which is 6 gold fee for 0-1499 price and samuels secret sauce which is a 3 gold fee for 0-999 price and I did one small classic boat which I set the vendor fees up by 48 gold which means it will be 48 gold for 0-8499 price, (willing to do some more research when I get a chance). It seems to me these have a "suggested retail price". It looks like the devs expected blackrock stew to be set at 1000 gold, they expected the secret sauce to be sold for 500 gold and they expected the boat to be sold for 8000 gold (not sure if the devs are even aware of the 499 "feature" that allows you to add 499 gold to any item before the vendor fee increases)

I have tried figuring the price on the code for npcs to buy back an item. Which is to pay 75% of the value they sell the item for. Now of interesting note...a small ship deed from the tram vesper docks (Atl) right now is 10177. 75% of 10177 = 7633 (rounded up). If I price out an item for 7633 it will charge 45 gold per day which is close. But close only helps in greater explosion potions (I was going to say handgrenades but thought I'd keep it UO). I'll keep looking and noting exceptions. Anyways, at your service even if you might have to show me around a bit. --TullyMars 13:50, 6 June 2011 (PDT)
