Welcome, Drifter!<br>
This guide will help you create pages for items like vendor trash, lore notes, and other drops.

<div style="font-size: 1.5em; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 1em;">Steps to Create a New Misc Item 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;" />
Use the exact name of the item as it appears in-game.
Examples:
<code>Cracked Boar Tusk</code>
<code>Bloody Note</code>

<div style="font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 1em;">2. Use the MiscItem Template</div>
<hr style="border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #555;" />
On the new page, copy/paste the template below.<br>
If you use the [[Create Center]], this structure will be automatically preloaded:

<pre>
{{MiscItem
| name =
| tooltip_image =
| item_type =
| is_soulbound =
| used_in_quest =
| how_to_acquire =
| flavor_text =
| sell_price =
}}
</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>name</code>: Optional. Leave blank to use the page name.
* <code>tooltip_image</code>: File name of the tooltip image (omit <code>File:</code>).
* <code>item_type</code>: Tag displayed under the item name in the tooltip (e.g., <code>Basic</code>, <code>Quest</code>).
* <code>is_soulbound</code>: Set to any value if the item cannot be traded.
* <code>used_in_quest</code>: (Optional) Link to the quest this item is related to, if applicable.
* <code>how_to_acquire</code>: Comma-separated list of where the item can be found.
:Use <code>Page::Label</code> format for pretty links.
:Example: <code>Doe/Newhaven_Valley::Doe (Newhaven Valley)</code>
* <code>flavor_text</code>: Short lore or description shown in blue italics at the bottom of the tooltip.
* <code>sell_price</code>: The vendor sell price (e.g., 1 Copper, 3 Silver 1 Copper).

<div style="font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 1em;">4. Save the Page</div>
<hr style="border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #555;" />
Preview your page and save it when everything looks right!

<div style="font-size: 1.5em; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 1em;">Examples</div>
<hr style="border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #555;" />
* [[Cracked Boar Tusk]]
* [[Bloody Note]]

<div style="font-size: 1.5em; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 1em;">Helpful Templates</div>
<hr style="border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #555;" />
* [[Template:MiscItem/doc]]

<div style="font-size: 1.5em; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 1em;">Categories</div>
<hr style="border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #555;" />
Pages using this template are automatically categorized into:
* Category:Misc Items
* Category:<item_type> Items (if applicable)

<div style="font-size: 1.5em; font-weight: normal; margin-top: 1em;">Notes</div>
<hr style="border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #555;" />
* All sections are optional and will only display if filled.
* <code>item_type</code> determines which subcategory (like <code>Basic Items</code>) the page is added to.
* Pages without a valid <code>item_type</code> still appear in <code>Misc Items</code> by default.
