<hr style="border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #555;" />


Welcome, Drifter!  
This guide will help you quickly and easily create new weapon pages.

Weapon pages describe dropped weapons — not crafted ones! Crafted weapons have their own creation process.

<div style="font-size: 1.5em; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 1em;">Steps to Create a New Weapon Page</div>
<hr style="border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #555;" />

<div style="font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 1em;">1. Create the Page</div>
<hr style="border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #555;" />

Navigate to the page where you want to create the new weapon.  
Use the proper naming format: '''''Exact in-game weapon name'''''  
Examples:
* Sturdy Copper Mace
* Cabal Guardian Sword

Avoid unnecessary extra words or disambiguations unless they are part of the real item name.

<div style="font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 1em;">2. Use the Weapon Template</div>
<hr style="border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #555;" />

On the new page, paste the following basic structure:<br>
(If you use the [[Create Center]] it will autofill the template for you.)

<pre>
{{Weapon
| name = 
| tooltip_image = 

| is_soulbound =
| weapon_type = 
| durability = 
| damage_min = 
| damage_max = 
| dice_roll = 
| delay = 
| range = 
| angle = 
| OHAC = 

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

| front_percentage =

}}
</pre>

<div style="font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 1em;">3. Filling Out Details</div>
<hr style="border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #555;" />

* <code>tooltip_image</code>: Only upload the tooltip image itself, not a screenshot of the weapon in use.
* <code>is_soulbound</code>: Leave this blank unless the item is Soulbound.
* <code>weapon_type</code>: Enter the broad category (e.g., 2H Axe, 1H Mace, Polearm).
* <code>durability</code>: Enter the maximum durability.
* <code>damage_min damage_max</code>: Enter the min and max damage values.
* <code>dice_roll</code>: Enter the dice roll value (e.g., 2d4+20) found by holding Alt while hovering over an item in-game.
* <code>delay</code>: Enter the delay in seconds (e.g., 2).
* <code>OHAC</code>: Enter the percentage (without typing the % symbol).
* <code>sell_price</code>: Enter the amount that a vendor will buy the item for at full durability.

<hr style="border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #555;" />

If multiple enemies can drop the weapon, separate them with commas.  
Use <code>::</code> to specify prettier link text if needed.

Example:

<pre>
Shoat::Shoat (Newhaven Valley), Doe, Doe/Northreach::Doe (Northreach)
</pre>

<hr style="border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #555;" />

* You can leave unused stat fields blank.
* Only fill in the positional bonuses if the weapon tooltip shows them.
* Double-check spellings for class names and enemy names for drops.
* Crafted Weapons have their own creation process. See [[Contributing/Creating_Crafted_Weapons]] if you need that.
