Creating a New Raw Component Page

Welcome, Drifter!
This guide will help you create new pages for raw components — the base materials gathered from resource nodes or creatures throughout the world.

Steps to Create a New Raw Component Page

1. Create the Page

Use the exact name of the raw material as it appears in-game.

2. Use the RawComponent Template

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

{{RawComponent
| name = 
| tooltip_image = 
| category = 
| level = 
| how_to_acquire = 
| used_in_recipes = 
| sell_price = 
| harvesting_profession = 
}}
3. Filling Out Details

  • name: Optional. Leave blank to use the page name.
  • tooltip_image: Upload and enter the tooltip image filename (omit "File:").
  • category: The material category used for sorting (e.g., Dense Carcass, Scrap, Maple Log, Copper Ore).
  • level: The tier or strength of the material (e.g., 1–10, 15–25).
  • how_to_acquire: Use a comma-separated list of creatures or nodes where the material drops.
Format entries as Page::Label for prettier links (e.g., Doe/Newhaven_Valley::Doe (Newhaven Valley)).
  • used_in_recipes: List recipes that use this component. Use Cedar Wood Recipe::Cedar Wood format for clean links.
  • sell_price: Optional. Enter a value like 1 Copper if the item can be sold to vendors.
  • harvesting_profession: Enter the profession that gathers the resource (e.g., Hunter, Prospector, Forester). This is used for categorization only and is not shown on the page.
4. Save the Page
