From Drifters Almanac
Creating a New Ammo Page

Welcome, Drifter! This guide will help you create new pages for ammunition items — such as Arrows and Bolts.

Steps to Create a New Ammo Page

1. Create the Page

Use the name of the ammo item exactly as it appears in-game.

If the item can be crafted using different components, use the format: Item Name/Secondary Material Example: Flatlands Arrow/Fine Pine Shaft

2. Use the Ammo Template

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

{{Ammo
| name = 
| tooltip_image = AmmoPlaceholder.png

| ammo_type = 
| level_requirement = 
| class_requirement1 = 
| class_requirement2 = 
| class_requirement3 = 
| is_soulbound = 

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

| crafting_profession = 
| recipe_page = 

| component1_name = 
| component1_material = 
| component1_material_category = 
| component2_name = 
| component2_material = 
| component2_material_category = 
| component3_name = 
| component3_material = 
| component3_material_category = 
| component4_name = 
| component4_material = 
| component4_material_category = 
| component5_name = 
| component5_material = 
| component5_material_category = 

| how_to_acquire = 
| sale_price = 
}}
3. Filling Out Details

  • ammo_type: Arrows, Bolts, or another valid category.
  • level_requirement: Minimum level to equip.
  • class_requirement1–3: Classes that can equip this ammo.
  • is_soulbound: Set to any value to mark the item as soulbound (rarely used for ammo).
  • stat1-6_name: Example: Ranged Dmg, Healing
  • stat1-6_value: Enter value of stat. (+1, +2, etc.)
  • crafting_profession: The profession that crafts the ammo (e.g., Woodworker).
  • recipe_page: Link to the recipe used to craft the item.
  • component1-5_name: Enter the component label (e.g., Arrowhead, Bolthead, Shaft, Fletching)
  • component1-5_material: Specific item used (e.g., Fine Ash Shaft)
  • component1-5_material_category: Link to a material category (e.g., Pine Wood, Ramie Cloth). Use this when a variety of interchangeable materials are allowed or when the exact material doesn't change the product outcome.
    • Important**: Only use componentX_material or componentX_material_category per component — not both. (Material will override Material Category)
  • how_to_acquire: Enter sources such as mobs, quests, vendors (comma-separated).

Use pretty links when needed: Doe/Newhaven_Valley::Doe (Newhaven Valley)

  • sale_price: How much the item can be sold for (e.g., 45 Copper, 1 Silver 20 Copper)
