Creating a New Equipment Set Page

Welcome, Drifter! This guide will help you quickly and easily create new pages for equipment sets — collections of armor and/or accessories that provide powerful bonuses when worn together.

Steps to Create a New Equipment Set Page

1. Create the Page

Use the set name exactly as it appears in-game, but add "(Set)" to the page name.

Examples:

Salt Luck (Set)
Medicine Man (Set)

This avoids conflicts with future NPCs, quests, or unrelated content.

2. Use the EquipmentSet Template

The page will preload the following basic structure:

{{EquipmentSet
| intro = 

| set_name = 

| set_image = 
| set_image_caption = 

| set_bonus_1_required = 
| set_bonus_1_effect1_stat = 
| set_bonus_1_effect1_value = 
| set_bonus_1_effect2_stat = 
| set_bonus_1_effect2_value = 
| set_bonus_1_effect3_stat = 
| set_bonus_1_effect3_value = 

| set_bonus_2_required = 
| set_bonus_2_effect1_stat = 
| set_bonus_2_effect1_value = 
| set_bonus_2_effect2_stat = 
| set_bonus_2_effect2_value = 
| set_bonus_2_effect3_stat = 
| set_bonus_2_effect3_value = 

| set_bonus_3_required = 
| set_bonus_3_effect1_stat = 
| set_bonus_3_effect1_value = 
| set_bonus_3_effect2_stat = 
| set_bonus_3_effect2_value = 
| set_bonus_3_effect3_stat = 
| set_bonus_3_effect3_value = 

| set_pieces = Name of each set piece, separated by commas.
}}

3. Filling Out Details

intro: Short description of the set, its origins, and special properties.
set_name: The formal name of the set.
set_image and set_image_caption: Optional image showing the full set worn by a character.
set_bonus_1-3_required: Enter the number of pieces required for each tier of the set bonus
set_bonus_1-3_effect1-3_stat: Example: Combat Movement, Healing, Positional, Penetration, Chemical Damage Resist
set_bonus_1-3_effect1-3_value: Enter value of stat bonus. (+10, -5, etc)
set_pieces: List each armor or accessory piece separated by commas.

Using Pretty Links (optional)

If a set piece page has a slightly different page name, use :: to customize the link label.

Example:

Salt_Cured_Leather_Cuirass::Salt Cured Leather Cuirass

4. Save the Page

Preview your work and save it when you're ready!
