Staves[edit]

Howdy SabSparrow,

I looked at your edits of Willcrusher, The Yakslapper, Gardock's Staff, and Fleshweaver and since I haven't paid any attention to mods on staff drops in over a decade, I was wondering if staves like that can actually drop (with an inherent 20% Daze/DW/poison reduction). Cheers, Steve1 (talk) 11:09, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

According to Inherent modifier#Exclusively inherent modifiers, they can. SabSparrow (talk) 20:18, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
Nice, thanks! Steve1 (talk) 16:19, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
Yes I use -% cripple staves and stack it with the rune and the recovery spirit. Justice (talk) 17:56, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Skill trainers[edit]

Hello!

And you're sure that your ACCOUNT didn't have those skills unlocked when looking at those trainers?

Could you post screenshots of those 2 trainers maybe? It seems unlikely - although not impossible - that for 15 years half a dozen skills hadn't been added.

Is this sufficient to reassure you? SabSparrow (talk) 18:49, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
I suspect there's many, many more skills missing from Nightfall skill trainer pages than just those, but I'm not quite able to test the rest yet, but I'm working on it. SabSparrow (talk) 19:01, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
Steve's concern was whether or not your account had previously unlocked the skills. If you had already unlocked those skills on your account, then the information you've added will need to be reverted. If you already have the skill unlocked on your account, then the skill trainer will offer it, even if they normally don't offer it.
For more information, you can read through the checklist on this old project page. Make sure you pay special attention to the bullets under "Instruction". Greener (talk) 19:46, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
Have you actually looked at the screenshot I linked to? It provides exactly the proof that has been asked for, at least for one of the skill trainers. I didn't think I needed to provide a screenshot for all skill trainers, considering all Kournan skill trainers offer the same skills. I didn't know about the project page though, I'll have a look at that. SabSparrow (talk) 01:52, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
Oh wow, your account is a real treasure trove. And I agree that Nightfall and Factions skill trainers might be missing a lot of skills.
Greener was only explaining my reason of asking. He wasn't second guessing you. Thing is that even some "experienced wiki posters" don't know about unlocking skills for trainers. And you certainly don't need to provide a screenshot for every trainer.
Happy wiki-improving! Steve1 (talk) 13:21, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Amazing how incoinsitent the wiki still is, eh?! Info was correct on one page (e.g. the individual skill trainer) but wrong on another (the skill page itself) in so many cases.

Anyhow, great job! Steve1 (talk) 13:10, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Energy Boon[edit]

I used a convoluted sentence on purpose! How dare you rectify it! :D Steve1 (talk) 18:30, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Anniversary Celebration‎‎[edit]

Good catch! I've been on those pages so any times but I never noticed. Cheers, Steve1 (talk) 11:48, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
