The idea of cropping all the images, converting them to PNG format and putting all the item stats in as page text does appeal to me though. Still, it's a lot of work. | The idea of cropping all the images, converting them to PNG format and putting all the item stats in as page text does appeal to me though.

Again. A minor aesthetic debate that could be argued either way, but would require untold hours to change. There are still so many subjects that haven't yet been touched. Stake your claim. Go out and conquer new lands. There you can make it your own and smile, enjoying what you yourself have created. [[User:Meridus|Meridus]] 10:45, 11 September 2008 (PDT) | Again.

incendantally just what is chaos damage and its relative calculators?
- Chaos damage adds no bonus, but instead causes the damage you "do" with that weapon to be of a random element instead. (with all the drawbacks and benefits that come with it) - BBR talk / cont 08:08, 8 March 2007 (EST)
Choice of Images
First of all, thank you to this article's contributors for a fine article.
I've been looking at the article and wondering why the image of the item's stats are really needed. If we already have text with wikilinks, what is the purpose of this image? Perhaps cropping the image to show just the backpack icon would better suit the article, and reduce load on the server. How about also having a screenshot of a character or NPC (read, vendor) holding a boomstick?

Rome wasn't built in a day... but we still talk about it, don't we? I think we're well on the way. Thadius856 00:05, 11 September 2008 (PDT)
