Creating a New Reagent Page

Welcome, Drifter!
This guide will help you create pages for Reagents — items dropped by enemies that enhance player abilities when consumed during use.

Steps to Create a New Reagent Page

1. Create the Page

Use the name of the reagent exactly as it appears in-game. No subpage format is needed — reagents are not crafted and have fixed names.

2. Use the Reagent Template

On the new page, copy/paste the template found below.
If you're using the Create Center, this structure will be preloaded:

{{Reagent
| name = 
| tooltip_image = 

| reagent_type = 
| reagent_ability = 

| effect1_value = 
| effect1_type = 
| effect2_value = 
| effect2_type = 
| effect3_value = 
| effect3_type = 
| effect4_value = 
| effect4_type = 
| effect5_value = 
| effect5_type = 

| level_requirement = 
| role_requirement = 
| specialization_requirement = 

| flavor_text = 
| how_to_acquire = 
| sell_price = 
}}
3. Filling Out the Template

  • reagent_type: Salve, Irritant, Numbing Agent, etc. This links to the category.
  • reagent_ability: Name of the ability this reagent affects (e.g., First Aid, Provoke).
  • effect1-5_value: The numerical or descriptive value (e.g., +4, 25% chance).
  • effect1-5_type: Type of effect (e.g., Health, Threat, Damage). These are for display only.
  • level_requirement: Required character level.
  • role_requirement: Role that can use the reagent (Defender, Striker, Supporter).
  • specialization_requirement: Optional subclass (e.g., Brigand, Knight, Sentinel).
  • flavor_text: Optional light-blue italicized text that adds lore or humor.
  • how_to_acquire: Comma-separated list of sources (e.g., enemies).

Pretty links are supported using Page::Label format.

  • sell_price: How much the reagent can be sold to vendors for (e.g., 10 Silver 5 Copper).
4. Save the Page
