removing mythic
I might be wrong... but I think I have a mythic Swift Demise. Aren't you a bit overzealous in removing the mythic attribute? In general, quest/chain rewards and crafted items are not eligible for a mythic upgrade. But the rest of the items should be eligible? -- &rArr; Cru121 (Contribs • Message • Email ) 05:44, December 15, 2020 (EST)
 * No, I verify it before removing. A *lot* of old quests were never updated for mythic/reaper, Gwylan's Stand is one of these (unlike say The Tear of Dhakaan which was updated). So if you have that Swift Demise, please provide a screenshot. I'll eat my words then and stop removing any mythics completely :) &rArr; BugTime (Contribs • &uArr; top &uArr; • Email ) 05:53, December 15, 2020 (EST)
 * Now I have to rummage through alts to argue on the internets. Thanks! :) -- &rArr; Cru121 (Contribs • Message • Email ) 07:45, December 15, 2020 (EST)
 * No, you don't have to. I sent you an e-mail earlier just to not clutter the wiki :) &rArr; BugTime (Contribs • &uArr; top &uArr; • Email ) 07:52, December 15, 2020 (EST)
 * Here! The proof.

 * Actually I'd like all of the old quests to be updated, but it's like with the recent removal of old slotted augments (there's a single item with a new augment slot filled: Item:Cloak of Troll's Resistance - easy to see in-game as many vet II classes get it). It's likely a lot of manual work so the devs don't bother. &rArr; BugTime (Contribs • &uArr; top &uArr; • Email ) 08:05, December 15, 2020 (EST)

Your process for obtaining images
What I'd like to know is, how are you getting those screenshots of all those item boxes that have the -complete- fancy border shapes and whatnot rather than just being a cropped outline, but -without- having anything showing behind the borders around the edges? That's a pretty neat trick! &rArr; TheWarforgedArtificer (Contribs • Message • Email ) 18:25, December 16, 2020 (EST)
 * It's not super hard as the complete transparent border chunks are available in the default ui skin. So it's a question of generating it over an item area. At least that's one of the possible ways to do it. &rArr; BugTime (Contribs • &uArr; top &uArr; • Email ) 18:47, December 16, 2020 (EST)
 * But how do you actually do it? What are the steps, what do you use? &rArr; TheWarforgedArtificer (Contribs • Message • Email ) 18:50, December 16, 2020 (EST)
 * Seriously, how do you do it, man? xD There are some missing item images I'm thinking of adding, but it looks like you're on a spree replacing literally every single item image on the entire wiki, so I don't want to add a missing image if it's just going to get replaced anyway, haha. What is your process? How are you getting these sharp, uncropped-border-without-background-junk images for items? Tell us your seeeeecrets! :P &rArr; TheWarforgedArtificer (Contribs • Message • Email ) 13:00, December 31, 2020 (EST)
