Grouping is a colloquial term that may refer to:

• "Bundle"

Items are released together, acquiring the bundle or package grants the player all items in the package at once or in very quick succession. Such bundles are usually announced by game staff. Information on bundle content is in the "notes" section of articles, with a short mention in the "acquisition" section, with more official documentation on the actual bundle page.

Examples: Deluxe Starter Pack

• "Collection"

Applies to related Promotion items, Prize Box items, and/or any items that share similar color patterns with similar methods of acquisition. This information is in the "notes" section of articles, and sometimes in the "acquisition" section if needed.

Examples: ??? - pending subpage system

• "Family"

Entities share similar themes and other aspects. This context is almost entirely user-based. Family categories are sometimes linked to in the "notes" section of articles.

Examples: ??? - pending subpage system

• "Set"

Items are very obviously related because they share similar names, stats, and abilities. Set information is only in the infobox.

Examples: ??? - pending subpage system

• "Alchemy Path"

Items are related to each other because they are upgraded into the next star level from the previous star level.

Examples: ??? - pending subpage system

Notes

A list of significant groupings can be found in Category:Groupings.

Items can be related in other ways, but these are generally less distinct. They are usually in a category of some kind, such as "Weapons that can inflict Shock."

A given set or bundle does not have its own category because sets and bundles are usually too small to warrant a category.

The above terms are generally colloquial, the context that defines them can be official, semi-offical, or unofficial. "Official" simply means that the context is somehow derived from staff via posts, support requests, and so on.
