Talk:Item specificity

Hey guys, cant seem to start a link or title page with +, is there any workaround for this besides spelling it out? Big Gino 17:55, February 13, 2006 (PST)
 * Personally I would call it half plate +1 of lesser lightning resistance. Thats not even a workaround It is usually armor +plus like Leather +3 or Long sword +2 -- koolkat 19:58, February 13, 2006 (PST)
 * That was my initial reaction, too, koolkat, but I assumed that Gino was putting it in exactly as it is in-game? Dedridd 20:09, February 13, 2006 (PST)
 * A page on this specific of an item seems to be WAY too much information. I mean, if this thing gets it's own page, that would imply there will also be a page for the Crippling Adamantine Longsword +1 of Lesser Halfling-Bane, Halfling-Only (No, I did not just make that one up).  As you get to higher-level gear, the number of possible combinations explodes exponentially.  What about the Necklace of Deep Slumber?  Will you have one page for the version with caster level 5 and 5 uses, and one for the caster level 7 and 3 uses??  That'd be insane.  Only unusual or named items may deserve their own page.  DDO creates most items by randomly mixing together base items and assortments of magic bonuses.  For those, list off the properties they can have, and tell how those properties combine to give an item a required level and base price.  Which basically means, copy over the Item Creation info from D&D.  One "plus" is worth 1d6 elemental damage, a racial restriction counts as -2 pluses, etc etc.
 * Poster, please indent and sign your posts similar to what I did for your post (registering would be great, too). Eventually, yes, it'd be nice to have a list of possible affixes and suffixes. There's nowhere near enough information to come up with that at this point, and unless Turbine releases a list of them for us, the only way we'll compile that information is to get a good sampling of the items in the game. I think creating specific pages for these is the way to go initially, because then they'll be categorized and we can scan for the different types of enchantments that exist for half plate armors, for example, when compiling the enchantments list.
