Creating a New Refined Component Page

Welcome, Drifter!
This guide will help you create pages for refined components — materials created through refining recipes that are later used in crafting.

Steps to Create a New Refined Component Page

1. Create the Page

Use the exact name of the refined material as it appears in-game.
Example: Newhaven Copper Ingot

2. Use the RefinedComponent Template

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

{{RefinedComponent
| name = 
| tooltip_image = 
| category = 
| level = 

| recipe = 
| raw_component1 = 
| raw_component2 = 

| used_in_recipes = 

| harvesting_profession = 
}}
3. Filling Out Details

  • name: Optional. Leave blank to use the page name.
  • tooltip_image: Upload and enter the file name of the tooltip image (omit File:).
  • category: The material group this belongs to (e.g., Bow String, Maple Wood, Copper Metal, Ramie Cloth).
  • level: The component's level range (e.g., 1-10, 10-20, 25-35).
  • recipe: The name of the refining recipe used to create this component.
Use Page::Label format for pretty links.
Example: Linen Bow String Recipe::Linen Bow String
  • raw_component1: First input material used in the recipe (e.g., Timberland Flax). Use Page::Label format for pretty links.
  • raw_component2: Optional second input. Leave blank if not used.
  • used_in_recipes: Comma-separated list of recipes that use this component.
Use Page::Label format for each entry.
Example: Pine Crossbow Recipe::Pine Crossbow
  • harvesting_profession: The profession that gathers the raw component materials (e.g., Forester, Hunter, Prospector). This is used for automatic categorization only.
4. Save the Page

Preview your page and save it once complete!
