Talk:Divination card

Divination cards should not have the Currency item category - Even if we consider them currency, they are a distinct enough grouping that the Divination cards category should be a subcategory of the currency one - there is no need to have them in both. --Qetuth-(talk) 02:41, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Really, the only reason they're in the Currency category now is because when I made most of the individual pages for the divination cards we didn't have an item box template for Divination Cards specifically, and they inherited the Currency category from the template. Once we get all the individual card pages converted to the new item box format, the Currency category should just go away. --Khepresh (talk) 02:46, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, I realised that only after posting the above. --Qetuth-(talk) 05:07, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

The Card category is now in the item module. The other card images can probably removed soon, as only the inner portion is needed now. I've updated all the card pages for the updated scheme, however I left the full card images in for the time being so the mini-icon works correctly for now.

I've alsoextracted the remaining artwork, but I need help identifying which cards they belong to. Posted that on reddit for now since more people are checking reddit then the wiki talk pages :P

Standard card description

I was thinking we should standardize the description on the individual card pages when we still have a manageable number of cards. The fact that cards can be exchanged for an item is already on the main Divination card page so it doesn't need to be mentioned on each individual card. We don't repeat "this map can be placed in a map device to open a specific area" on every map page either. I also don't think the stack size should be mentioned, as it is clear by looking at the item box. The only things that are important are the reward and its rarity (for linking purposes), the area where the card drops and supporter attribution. It could look something like this: User:Climmels/card.

What do you guys think? I'm willing to make the changes if everyone's okay with it. --Climmels aka SirProblematique (talk) 16:05, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Best way to standardize would be a template though. That also makes standarizing new sections easier --OmegaK2 (talk) 16:59, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

We don't need a template for this. I say go ahead Climmels, just lowercase "divination card". —Vini (t|c) 17:05, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Missed that. I'll get started on it. --Climmels aka SirProblematique (talk) 18:13, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

One thing that I find somewhat unclear

Because I don't play the beta, have not seen any of the divination card mechanic. When reading the page about it, it's unclear to me whether you need to collect and trade a full set to get the referenced item or just to sell one card and the stack size is just like currency stack size? The first option looks more logical, but it's not clear from the text. --DarkUnknown (talk) 06:11, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Also unclear to a non beta player - if it is the former as above, is the stack size always the same as the trade-in size? --Qetuth-(talk) 14:07, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Move to make the table less cluttered

The table was fine at first when we didn't have individual pages to display the info for each card, but now it's looking a bit cluttered. I would like to move to an auto-populated table akin to the other item types that displays the card name, reward, and stack size. The rest of the information is better suited for display on the individual card pages. Shall I go ahead and make this change? —Vini (t|c) 17:54, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

I think that would be a good idea. Iamacyborg (talk) 19:10, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Um, guys, you didn't make it "less cluttered" you made it less USEFUL. It needs to at least include drop locations. --Fambida (talk) 23:40, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Agreed, removing the drop locations is awful. --Radeor (talk) 23:44, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

The purpose of that table is to list the cards and what they do. The drop locations for each card are described on their respective pages. —Vini (t|c) 01:01, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
