Creating a New Weapon Page


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.

Steps to Create a New Weapon Page

1. Create the Page

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.

2. Use the Weapon Template

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

{{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_value = 
| front_type = 
| front_percentage = 

| side_value = 
| side_type = 
| side_percentage = 

| rear_value = 
| rear_type = 
| rear_percentage = 

| level_requirement = 
| class_requirement1 = 
| class_requirement2 = 
| class_requirement3 = 

| how_to_acquire = 
| sell_price =

| model_image1 = 
| model_image2 = 
| model_image3 = 
}}
3. Filling Out Details

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

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

Example:

Shoat::Shoat (Newhaven Valley), Doe, Doe/Northreach::Doe (Northreach)
4. Save the Page

After filling out the information, preview your page carefully. Once satisfied, click Save.

Categories

New weapons are automatically categorized into:

  • Category:Weapons
  • Category:Weapon Type
  • Category:Class Requirement Weapons
Notes

  • 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.
