Talk:Crafting/Item Upgrading

Looks good. One suggestion, provide more info in the popup, something like...
Item Type: Fusible, Malleable, Fragmented or Battle-Scarred
Item Levels: 12
Related Quests: Attack on Stormreach chain
Altar Location: Lordsmarch Plaza

Item Type: Suppressed Power
Item Levels: 2, 5, 14 and 18
Related Quests: The Path of Inspiration chain,
The Dreaming Dark chain and The Reaver's Fate
Altar Location: The Dreaming Dark → by Mjoll 15:02, March 31, 2012 (EDT)

Added the extra wording as you suggested. I think it looks a little more cluttered and doesn't really add much information. It's all there though.. It's a prototype idea still, so I've no problem going back and forth a bit and getting more input on it. I just wish I could figure out how to modify the wiki's pop-ups to detect being too close to that edge of the screen and popping up to the other side.. Guess I should research it again.. I bet I could do it now..

I don't think it really looks all that cluttered - maybe if it *all* popped up at once, but not one at time. I like the extra info, makes it handy for those of us who blank on what we're looking for... gives an "Oh yeah!" thingie *g*

Looks pretty good to me!

(And while you're researching the popup thing, can you maybe look into why having TWO paragraphs won't give the blank line, but three will?) → LrdSlvrhnd 21:11, March 31, 2012 (EDT)

Since I have two other people that like the new appearance, I'll start gathering those screenshots to make it look better. ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 22:00, March 31, 2012 (EDT)

Looks great!! So much cleaner and polished over the text-table we got now... Taurolyon 04:06, April 1, 2012 (EDT)

again its too wide on my screen. item property names such as Suppressed Power and Fusible needs to be displayed without hovering on the image IMO. → yoko5000 07:47, April 1, 2012 (EDT)

Looks fine for me, however I agree a little bit with yoko5000 here that just the name of the upgrading altar may not tell me much as a new player. Additionally I think at least for the suppressed power the lower item levels are misleading. First of because the upgraded item will exceed this level and second you can't visit this alter on level 2 anyway ;) SisAmethyst 08:34, April 1, 2012 (EDT)

Original & Alternative #1: with Place the altars name in the popup. Place the Upgrade effect where the altars name was as this it is the first recognizable naming a player see base on their item. Beneath it place the location in (). For cauldron effects place effects in this order with no additional words: Battle-Scarred, Fusible, Fragmented, Malleable to reduce number of lines it uses).

Pics being used are displaying to much information which can not be read or seen. Keep it simple and just show the altar as it is the representative of upgrade effects. The icons should be recognizable with one glance and not have the user trying to decipher what is going on ex Epic Crafting TOC one simple main image and you know what it is.→ Bladedge 14:18, April 1, 2012 (EDT)

Another alternative, making use of both pics and tables, something like this [mockup]. by Mjoll (Contributions • Message) 15:18, April 10, 2012 (EDT)

Quite a while that this discussion took place and I am not sure if we got to a final conclusion. However I like the mockup from moll, but then again most of the info is already there as how it is now. SisAmethyst (Contributions • Message) 15:45, April 2, 2013 (EDT)
