Here are discussions about the proyects im helping. Note: Most of the Sections have been edited to look good in this format, so i can check the messages better.
[Proyect] Images
Prestige Badges
>.> <.< We should probably fix all these up to have proper, consistent names. --Novaster 05:27, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- Hahaha yes, those are all mess up and floating arond haha. But i add them the cat so i can remember "there u are!" xD those have user page's linked. What do u think of the one i upload? i trough it looked better with fourthstage instead of 25k, to keep ur format --Hikaru 05:33, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- I think I should make a table with red text file names for consistent uploading...then we fix the existing ones so they're not in use and tag them with delete. --Novaster 05:36, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- And of course put said table on the Prestige page when we're done in case people want to use them, so they don't upload their own haphazardly. Liiiiiiiiiike I did. --Novaster 05:37, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- I was thinking in adding them in some place for people who want to make their userpage. Put them in a list so they can choose the one they want, and if there is not the file, they can upload it. Maybe in the Manual of Style or ... dunno if its correct but in the prestige's page (like a little link or cat where they can be seen)..... LOL i was writing this and then ur msg appear hahaha. Well i took mines like yours! haha seems good to me, but maybe prestigeforuthstage is too long dont u think? xD--Hikaru 05:41, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
Table of Insigns
I have made a table with names I think will work]]. I imagine people will mostly only care about the 45k one. We should definitely upload high quality images, not blurry screenshot crops like some of these are. --Novaster 06:20, 9 September 2015 (UTC) Could shorten the filename to #k instead of the 000s. --Novaster 06:22, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- 5k instead of 5,000 is definitive better, for the filename ofcourse, but 5,000 in the /start looks good :). I can upload mine. Does it look blurry? Took a High-16x antialias screenshot and crop it. Its the one that appear at the left top corner in the screens. I still dont have my 45k badge xD --Hikaru 07:29, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
"Rank" in the Tag
We probably don't need the |rank bit in the tag, as they all start with P for prestige. That little bit in the tag is just to group icons that have different names but similar function together. The icons look great! --Novaster 09:49, 9 September 2015 (UTC) Yeah definitely leave that rank bit out, it's not needed anymore and is actually bad now that we're making these consistent. You do very excellent work and I'd keep throwing confetti at you but I must sleep. --Novaster 09:55, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- Being sorted by P of Prestige seems better. I will just add {{icon image}} then :3! And thx ^^! I am picking the colors from good screens and compared them with the Personal Color, trying to be the more exactly i can cuz the crop i made (and mostly in all screens) have some tones and cant just drop the color i pick (sadly xD). If u see/notice something about the files tell me ^^. Im going to do the rest of the icons tomorrow so we can add the delete tag to all the randoms icon xD. Hahaha we both need rest ^^! Tc and have a good nite :)~ --Hikaru 10:02, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah they're 24x36, which is the same size as the raw crop from the game files, so I assume you're using the icons found there (rsrc - ui -icon - prestige) with that buffer space around 'em cropped out. What makes me sad is I have a gut feeling the developers make huge beautiful versions of these things at first, but then when they need to get into the game we get a shrunk down version to be reasonable dataspace-wise and we end up with these tiny little things. Icons indeed. --Novaster 16:30, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah D: even with max resolution they seem little. I was going to take the one that shows in the overworld but the stroke around it was or too big or too small when i get to add it and the actual got the perfect stroke xD. --Hikaru 20:50, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Stuff about uploading
If they create a wiki and want people to help, why they in game images (like icons) in the wiki with good resolutions? i know Admins have upload somes but others seem like nowhere to be found xD and need to be make --Hikaru 20:50, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- I have no idea. Yes, we make some of them, and sometimes ask admins for them too. In the meantime we do what we can with screenshots and game files. It's a bit dangerous to use game files, because some files are not in the game in use, so you should know exactly what you're doing when you use them, which generally isn't too hard. If you don't have screenshot proof of it in game, don't use the direct game file, but defer to the game file over screenshots because screenshots usually look awful for most stuff, basically. --Novaster 21:06, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- U can show images of upload servers here? or its against the rules? Like the Spiral Spy images. I am going to way to take a better screen of the danger module before i upload a new version --Hikaru 21:43, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- *Hides in a corner.* We can't use spiral spy images on the wiki, but we can...touch up files (we have to for many icons), so, if it's a "representative image of a module"...maybe... I'd love just a cropped display of the disc+hologram on its own without a world background, that would be perfect, but screenshots are so crappy...let's see what you've got. --Novaster 21:59, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- *Whisper* Well i can touch up screens but sometimes its limited. Creating them is another history xD need practice u//u im better with croping, fixing colors and those touch up more than made but dunno the limit of that for the wiki xD... and btw.... *whispers even more* i saw the potions in the pick up sections :V! --Hikaru 23:13, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Size
Was fiddling with the ah...size a bit. Should it be small and match in-game, or something else? Is that size good? --Novaster 02:23, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- Well for the table i think they look good but maybe we can add a tip in how much px would they add to make it look more like in-game :P. 14px in the Card ID looks good but cad/user layout is tinier than the character layout most people use (the tables) but the px have always been optional --Hikaru 02:31, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
Final
I fix them (i guess) and want to know what u think: here that is violet of 25k --Hikaru 21:43, 9 September 2015 (UTC)Exploration Modules
I saw the Icon-Danger-Module and u added that needs better color so i made this That helps? --Hikaru 21:21, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- Honestly I'm not sure. Color looks different to different ppl. I've also decided to use a better naming convention. If you think you have a better version, go ahead and upload it. --Novaster 21:25, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, i upload it there for the wiki cache problem with new versions. I am going to take a better screen of the danger module before i upload a new version --Hikaru 21:43, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
Examples
Something like this or each kind (Information/Danger/Recon/Monstrous Codex). But clean, without the background. I could clean it up but that would be too much manipulation for something that wouldn't look quite right, with the tools I have.
Or this. The angle is different and quite interesting. I'm not sure which would be better to use. Certainly, either of these would be better than the icons I uploaded earlier today. --Novaster 03:35, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- For what exactly do u want them? I dunno if what i can do would be useful cuz well i can try to fix them and cut them and etc but where or which would be its use? so i can have an idea of how to make it and whats the best --Hikaru 05:15, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- Something like this, to indicate the type of module the user will find on the ground (this would be for the monster type):
example(EDIT: example out of date with template changes. Simply showed a representative image + title in a customized showhide)- Before it was, for, say, the danger module (here's an example of a danger module in the overworld):
example(EDIT: example out of date with template changes. Simply showed a representative image + title in a customized showhide)- But it's probably better to use a visual of the entire module, not just the icon. That skull is used in other places - boss stratum, danger mission cards. So the full module might look better as well as be less confusing. --Novaster 05:43, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- Ohh ok i got it :)! Let me see if i can make it work. Like that now that im ending the badges i can make some test ^^! --Hikaru 05:47, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- As long as it's fun! This is a comparatively very small project (it can be used a lot, I guess, it's not "important"). I just ran into the potential for it while doing mission pages, similar to the artifact stuff. I'm heading to bed now. :) --Novaster 05:52, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- haha dont worry :D as i said this stuff is kinda relaxing and playing with the program making images too! It help me practice some new tecniques so we all win haha. Have a nice nite :)! --Hikaru 06:05, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

DHF NPCs
On another note, it would be prudent to get those NPC shots while they're here. --Novaster 22:29, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, this is weird (the different gate map for rank) and maybe im dumb but i wouldnt know the "gate map" in the interface if it wasnt for you xD i test it, i didnt know it was there ._. . Oh and, if you mean Bulky and Maskwell Mugshots (or, store windows in this case) i already took ones for each ^^! --Hikaru 22:35, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hurray! And don't worry, a lot of ppl don't know about gate maps. But that makes the wiki even more useful, I think. And players can still use mission gate maps on the wiki to remember or determine what's in the depth of a mission someone else has started, that you want to join and help with, even if you already know how to use the gate map in-game. --Novaster 22:40, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- I tought you had to go and test each map to see the name and the gate-icon haha silly me xD. It does help alot the gate map here, is faster :D! Oh and, didnt know the little Muerty exist, i gonna take a mugshot of him too, but i think i can use the image you already uploaded :P i will have to figure out how to make that "white aura" around him without destroying it. Btw, about Muerty, Muerty's name may be an alussion? you see, Muerte is Death in spanish so "Muerty" sounds like a diminutive of Muerte. "Muerty" sounds like some spanglish name, some kind of alias xD. Dunno what you think. Sometimes i see people who speak english said "muerte" soooo i dunno.
- Oh gosh yes add that, in a similar format to Tenzhill's page. Also your last edit added 666 characters LOL. Too spooky. --Novaster 22:51, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- I was going to add more characters but a misterious force tell me to not :o! hahhahaa ok no xD. Ok so im going to x3! --Hikaru 22:54, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Extras
Quality
Whoah whoah hold on - there's a quality problem with those uploads. --Novaster 22:46, 31 August 2015 (UTC) You need to increase the anti alias of your game when capturing images. Otherwise the edges are not as smooth. Graphics need to be set to high, otherwise certain special effects, such as sheen, are lost. The angle and crop seems fine. --Novaster 22:50, 31 August 2015 (UTC) Unless they are, and for some reason, the volt driver is just being fussy? --Novaster 22:51, 31 August 2015 (UTC) I remember a few of the alchemers were fussy with their looks (perhaps old textures in java, idk much about that). Most of the images have not cleared cache so we'll have to wait and see. --Novaster 22:58, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
- But i have my game in high, maybe it was after saved?-- *Checking* How much antialising? i got it in the minimun (x1) x//x i trough the "high" was enough. I have High and in advance sets i have just Enable vertial sync activated, the rest is unmarked--Hikaru 22:59, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
- Get the AA as high as you can. You might have to manipulate this through your graphics card, sometimes SK doesn't register the AA settings change. This is only for capture, many players want to play with settings calibrated for playing without lag etc, not sightseeing. --Novaster 23:03, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
- I will have to take the proper screen later to fix the ones i upload xD notice all have that pixel-thing :( at least i just upload somes haha. Well cya tomorrow novas take care~ Thx x3! --Hikaru 02:33, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Fraps
OH if you're using FRAPS to capture and take a frame...make sure you're "forcing lossless RGB" in the video tab of FRAPS. --Novaster 23:09, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
- I use the screenshot of the game, i trough they looked good, should i use fraps's screenshots instead?--Hikaru 23:40, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
- If you captured the rotation with screenshots that must have taken some time. FRAPS will save you a lot of time if you can easily pick out the frame. Were you using steam to screenshot or just regular screenshots? Steam tends to JPEGify things so bleh. And yes, you can save JPEG quality images as pngs. Weep. --Novaster 23:45, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
- Whatever the case, don't feel bad about it. The angle and crop is really good, and it's likely that they're fine and it's just the volt driver being weird (it was the only one I could check that cleared cache. Wiki is weird). I'm going to be busy the rest of the night, have fun! --Novaster 00:02, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
- Hey~ I dont have a steam acount, my screens are PNG and i did a test and seems like the change works xd i will use those and upload one justo in case. Gonna try fraps too because i just count and try to syncronize from the correct angle xd i will try more tomorrow, have a nice nite --Hikaru 05:47, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Animation images
That's an adorable menu up there. How familiar are you with APNG? I remember you downloaded the stuff in the style guide. I'm thinking it might be super sexy to update File:The Artifact.png. It's such a gorgeous object. It deserves to show itself in full. But my problem is that I can't get "clean" images of "certain things" with my methods, and I'm very impressed with how you did the modules as "representative images." --Novaster 00:08, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
- Its a chubby menu haha. And i have not tried APNG yet, but i already created a char from 0 so i can go to mission that normally u cant repeat as the first time so i can take screenshots. The artifact appears in 2-1 Ancient Generator right? I dont remember the map and have not see the specific image it is now (the "zoomed" artifact with details) but i can try :)! Do u want that image but APNG without background? (And thx haha x//x) --Hikaru 00:17, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, I can do the APNG that way. Was wondering if you could possibly use the same method you did for the modules. The artifact image that's currently on display certainly isn't a screenshot image, and looks like a Spiral Spy thing to me, but the admins haven't deleted it (which doesn't mean it's okay, but it's more about showing the game in its full artistic glory), soooooooooo just thought we might improve it. Just to be safe, I'll ask about it first. Food for thought. --Novaster 00:21, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
- Didnt know Spiral Spy had those models too. I was wondering where did it come from xD. What u mean is that u want to improve animating it? or how exactly. I dunno much about artifact, (my memory sucks xd!) so i dunno where i have seem them and in which form (p,d: i will try again the spiral spy to check for those items, last time i forget about it because i wouldnt understand how to change somethings and how view others) --Hikaru 00:34, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
- All we know about this object is on The Artifact page. It has a very beautiful animation, and I feel that a visual is worth 1k+ words at least. --Novaster 00:36, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

WHAT JUST HAPPEN TO THIS! ahahahahaha APNG is HELLA HARD how u guyz do the overworld then XD? btw im not drunk haha i just lmao because i was thinking "this will look nice even with background", "i been following all steps and i think i got it :D", and then NOPE said the program ahahaha worst part is, even with the incorrect crop, it doesnt look good hahaha OTL oh my... xDDD. Btw i couldnt do anything tonight D: was busy, hope tomorrow i can do a little more. Tell me about the APNG hahaha i dont think i could help with the overworld as i trough xDU not even the artifact, maybe, MAAAAYBE the tooltips of items but dunno xD! I was like okay... this is not what i expected xDD Have a good nite~ --Hikaru 09:57, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
- That looks like a good start! There are a few programs out there we can use. What I use isn't freeware, and it's ancient (like pre-Corel-eating-Jasc ancient and I've used it for most of my conscious life), and I can't exactly encourage pirating, so I haven't yet made a guide for my methods since other free methods yield the same results. It's like asking a person to use a specific brand of more expensive colored pencil and editors should never have to spend money on the wiki's work. I'm guessing the issue is in the cropping step, as it looks to be the same dimensions as the tooltip. Since this entity isn't equipped, and quite large (as large as a knight!) it would need a different cropping parameter. For this step I open up the generated FRAPS.avi file into a program (Jasc Animation Shop v3.04) that lets me snatch a frame or a group of frames out of the entire sequence after "filming" the entire screen and edit those frames uniformly, instead of a highly specific BATCH script others use for the tooltips. It's a chunky but very nice program and I've not found anything that does everything it does in one package. But yeah not freeware. What I would do is copy the batch file, and modify anything in the copy that has "201" and "222" to match the dimensions you need for this object, then make your own alpha channel to go with it, specific to the dimensions of the artifact. If that doesn't work, search around for video editing freeware that isn't infested with viruses and that lets you crop round corners with transparencies uniformly for a group of files in sequence. --Novaster 12:57, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
- Hey~ I was busy and tired this few days, sorry i didnt answer. Here in my country it is really hard and freaking expensive to get some program, freeware its my only choice haha (thx fraps for make a free version) but i would have to see then, i follow the tutorial of thepc and notice he did it only for the tooltip after my result xD (keep lmao thinking about it xD) i will have to see more about it. But first i will do things her ein the wiki more than APNG before i find out more haha. Thx ^^ and sorry for the late reply --Hikaru 22:05, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
[Proyect] Missions
Mission Pages
Your work on Faith in Armor is great! Thanks! As you can imagine, there's a lot of work to do there. Many missions don't even have their own pages V_V. It's been a long slow project over the past few months - the best thing about the mission overhaul IMO is the Gate Maps (something I've wanted, and wanted to do, ever since I was a newbie) as well as the ability to just click through individual missions using the preceded/followed by section in the infobox. Like reading a book! It will get all of my focus after this acquisition project. Feel free to work on mission pages if you want, of course. 0 pressure. --Novaster 00:41, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
- Hey~ Thx ^^ i did one just in case but maybe i can help adding the format to the existences one and yes! The "Previous/Next Mission" was a really cool idea instead of going again to the mission list :D that was something i like when i saw the format ^^! The mission's format is really great, tbh most of the new format were the principal motive why i start wanting to edit, to help making everything look that nice :D! I will try to help in the proyects while i can ^^ --Hikaru 22:42, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
Parameter Gallery
Leave out the |gallery= parameter if the level is randomly generated segments, unless it has a special scenario players always run into (such as the one in An Occurrence at Owlite Keep). Looks like you're having fun! I should have some time tomorrow to do some things...then...be gone for a long time ;n; --Novaster 03:36, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
- Ohh ok then! Random = '''Gallery''', if isnt random then the |gallery=. I was going to ask too, host rank means when players can access to that mission (color image and start available) or when players can see the mission but cant enter (gray color with a lock image)?. Hahah yeah i decided to help the more i can with that, i have some dialogues for newest mission i need to transcribe too ^^. Dont be sad, u have a well winning vacations for all the great things u have done in this wiki :3! --Hikaru 03:46, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
- Nothing uses '''Gallery''' anymore, only use |gallery=. I fixed that up a while back because it was such a consistent entry it deserved its own parameter. Only use the |gallery= parameter for randomly generated areas in the situation outlined above. Of course, we always use it for set maps. --Novaster 14:42, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
"Boss Stratum Missions"
Heads up - we want to make sure the chronology of these areas is very clear. Be sure to include a notes section on mission pages, including release date. For missions which drop the player directly into a boss stratum, refer to Shadow of the Beast for examples of wording in the notes section. --Novaster 00:16, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, i trough that when i saw there wasn't page for boss missions but, i dunno, i see its easier if i put the format just to be filled later so when i start my run-mule would be easy to see what is missing and what not. I put the needs update's tag to each of ones im adding without basic info--Hikaru 00:24, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
Complicated Missions
So, many missions (mostly Dangerous Prestige) have extremely complex areas one after another, but the map is set. I don't think editors would like cropping out sections of a fixed map, so I came up with a potential solution - check out Heart of Ice: Amu-Sol. Of course, where the red text is, would be screenshots of the relevant area. Conveniently, the mini map will show the map segment the area is in, and it will always be included in the screenshot. I feel that this data is desired, because several of these pages have the data in some way, added by editors in the past. We're just organizing it. Of course, major entities such as Maulos will end up on their own pages, as part of the monster overhaul. --Novaster 17:46, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, bosses will definitive need their own page and category. I like the format, it is easy and useful, but dunno if would look better with a show/hide (dunno maybe im loving show/hide too much haha) I really doubt i could make danger mission's gallery because i suck at those xD but who knows-- Oh and u didnt tell me about the Host rank parametre --Hikaru 09:13, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

- And yeah we really have to improve the notes/exploration sections of these pages/floors. Basically, put notes in the notes section.
- Monsters don't belong in the exploration section at all, as they have their own section.
- Runthrough tips don't belong in the exploration section.
- Exploration entities as well as explaining the geography of the area belongs in this section.

- I think i understand now :P it confused me just a little the 1A 2A and those but i prefer to ask if i get to take some screen for the galleries.
- I can do the map color ^^! i was thinking in how u do it and i was right xD and HUDless would be usefull but i dont think that option wouldnt be available in a near/long future.
- One question, what u mean by: "...with as many things as standardized as possible..." and "...I've been trying to take pictures of normal, statusless areas..." i didnt get those things xD. Dunno what u meant with "standardized" and "normal, statusless"--Hikaru 01:33, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
- So like...I would prefer to take a picture in "Clockwork Tunnels: Wild Path" instead of "Blast Furnace: Wild Path." --Novaster 02:01, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
Monster Order
I see u move some mobs, it is because i have to put them like:
Beast
Construct
Fiend
Gremlin
Slime
Undead
but not by mob-alphabetic? (Like here that u add Wolver and then Alpha Wolver without being A first to W?)--Hikaru 01:38, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, alphabetize monsters within family as well as by family. I've been trying to keep it organized by family at least. It's a huge project so it's difficult to do everything correctly the first time. --Novaster 02:05, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
Monster Template
Oh it's fine. We improved a few things. Major changes include map naming convention and the use of Template:Monster as a linking template. --Novaster 22:37, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- Ohh i like the Monster template :D no need to add the icons all over the wiki. I will fix the mission's page now and see which one is lacking of this template ^^ --Hikaru 22:55, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- IKR! Half a day of coding to take care of an eternity of potential mistakes. It's also faster. --Novaster 23:36, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
How to take Screens
How do you "follow" a format to take screens? I created a char to make screns and gather dialogues but how do i begin? (Btw, this can be in some days first i am going to add the format to almost all and other things but just so i know :D) --Hikaru 00:20, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
- Well what I do is:
- Type /cle into the chatbox (to remove text and take care of privacy issues and clutter)
- Collapse the side menus that display your mail/forge etc, and take the screenshot with Print Screen command.
- I try to take a screenshot with as many things as standardized as possible (for my personal sandbox project I've been trying to take pictures of normal, statusless areas and update them whenever I remember to do so).
- also remove monster HP bars as these clutter the shot, but I know a few of pics have these bars. I really wish players had a HUDless option so we could take pictures like this.
- Oh and I'll have graphics on high, of course.
Image's Names
As far as naming goes, I have been tryyyyyyyyyyyying to do it like so: Area-MISSION-FLOOR.png, or just Area-AREA-Segment.png As far as I can tell, the number/letter system (the -1A, -2A bit) I came up with a while ago is more annoying than useful, so just using nothing, 2,3 might be better. --Novaster 01:06, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
Floor Wording
I did a few fixes here and there, but I have to go for tonight. These are tiny finicky things that ultimately don't matter, but are nice to keep consistent. Which is better wording, do you think - "This floor is composed of random AREANAME segments." or "An area similar to AREANAME"? We can't just say "This floor is AREANAME," because missions do not have scenario rooms in the random pool for level creation, so they are not truly AREANAME. We settled on the second one when we made gate maps (mostly), but I think the first one in general makes more sense. To save work, we'd stick with the second one. But it seems a little vague, and that's not good for a wiki, now that I'm looking at it later. --Novaster 01:39, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
- Ohh get it now! Thx ^^ i too like details so i can understand :D i will keep it them like "An area similar to AREANAME" then ^^. Will try my best, after i work sometimes in an specific format (like main list or mission page) it seems like its better to keep somethings to last, at least for me, cuz at the end of fixing all mission page, u can think "well, the mayority of the page have X thing so i can add it like X to all" and keep the consistence that, even if its not big deal, details make everything beutiful haha. I too will go to sleep soon so have a good nite~ --Hikaru 02:31, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
- Had a talk with another editor, we feel that the "This floor is composed of random AREANAME segments" is best. I shall make a template to use for this phrase and area linking...probably tomorrow. --Novaster 03:47, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
- Well I got inspired and did it. here's the template and I've fixed up all the gate maps and floor templates. Likely made a few mistakes, feel free to check (please do). Use the area template for mission pages in the floor template's exploration section, they should pretty much be copy pastes from the Gate Map, though don't mention monsters in the exploration section. --Novaster 10:50, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah i saw ^^! Sorry i didnt reply, wasnt in the computer. Im gonna use this format then :) --Hikaru 23:07, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
- Hurray~. I'm working on the gloaming maps atm. So many little corners! The artifact project I've started shouldn't take long to complete. I'm looking forward to cleaning up the page...hopefully it won't blow up into a huge project! haha. But I'd like for users to have easier access to this content. If it's on the NPC and mission pages as well as the commemorative artifact page, I think a lot more people will be exposed to it more often. What do you think? --Novaster 23:32, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
- Oh i didnt see the recent changes till now, finally shadow of the beast have content :D. I like the Artifact added to the mission page. --Hikaru 00:00, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
