Creating a New Misc Item Page

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

Steps to Create a New Misc Item Page

1. Create the Page

Use the exact name of the item as it appears in-game. Examples: Cracked Boar Tusk Bloody Note

2. Use the MiscItem Template

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

{{MiscItem
| name = 
| tooltip_image = 
| item_type = 
| is_soulbound = 
| used_in_quest = 
| how_to_acquire = 
| flavor_text = 
| sell_price = 
}}
3. Filling Out Details

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

Preview your page and save it when everything looks right!

Categories

Pages using this template are automatically categorized into:

  • Category:Misc Items
  • Category:<item_type> Items (if applicable)
Notes

  • All sections are optional and will only display if filled.
  • item_type determines which subcategory (like Basic Items) the page is added to.
  • Pages without a valid item_type still appear in Misc Items by default.
