Creating a New Ammo Page

Welcome, Drifter! This guide will help you create new pages for ammunition items — such as Arrows and Bolts.

Steps to Create a New Ammo Page

1. Create the Page

Use the name of the ammo item exactly as it appears in-game.

If the item can be crafted using different components, use the format: Item Name/Secondary Material Example: Flatlands Arrow/Fine Pine Shaft

2. Use the Ammo Template

On the new page, copy/paste the template found below.
If you use the Create Center, this structure will be automatically preloaded:

{{Ammo
| name = 
| tooltip_image = AmmoPlaceholder.png

| is_soulbound = 
| ammo_type = 
| level_requirement = 
| class_requirement1 = 
| class_requirement2 = 
| class_requirement3 = 

| stat1_name = 
| stat1_value = 
| stat2_name = 
| stat2_value = 
| stat3_name = 
| stat3_value = 
| stat4_name = 
| stat4_value = 
| stat5_name = 
| stat5_value = 
| stat6_name = 
| stat6_value = 

| crafting_profession = 
| recipe_page = 

| component1_name = 
| component1_material = 
| component1_material_category = 
| component2_name = 
| component2_material = 
| component2_material_category = 
| component3_name = 
| component3_material = 
| component3_material_category = 
| component4_name = 
| component4_material = 
| component4_material_category = 
| component5_name = 
| component5_material = 
| component5_material_category = 

| how_to_acquire = 
| sell_price = 
}}
3. Filling Out Details

  • ammo_type: Arrows, Bolts, or another valid category.
  • level_requirement: Minimum level to equip.
  • class_requirement1–3: Classes that can equip this ammo.
  • is_soulbound: Set to any value to mark the item as soulbound (rarely used for ammo).
  • stat1-6_name: Example: Ranged Dmg, Healing
  • stat1-6_value: Enter value of stat. (+1, +2, etc.)
  • crafting_profession: The profession that crafts the ammo (e.g., Woodworker).
  • recipe_page: Link to the recipe used to craft the item.
  • component1-5_name: Enter the component label (e.g., Arrowhead, Bolthead, Shaft, Fletching)
  • component1-5_material: One or more specific items that can be used for this component (e.g., Highlands Copper Ingot, Highlands Zink Ingot). Separate with commas if multiple are valid — each will link to the item’s page.
  • component1-5_material_category: You can enter one or more valid material categories (e.g., Pine Wood, Ramie Cloth). If multiple are valid, separate them with commas. Each entry will be automatically linked to its category page. Use this when a variety of interchangeable materials are allowed or when the exact material doesn't change the product outcome.
    • Important**: Only use componentX_material or componentX_material_category per component — not both. (Material will override Material Category)
  • how_to_acquire: Enter sources such as mobs, quests, vendors (comma-separated).

Use pretty links when needed: Doe/Newhaven_Valley::Doe (Newhaven Valley)

  • sell_price: How much the item can be sold for (e.g., 45 Copper, 1 Silver 20 Copper)
