The Official BGWiki Thread!

I guess they're nice-to-haves, and the wiki could use other kinds of efforts beforehand, which is why I'm trying to cover existing link issues, like pages not being linked to, pages not linking to anything, uncategorized pages, and red links that can be solved through a redirect or fixing a typo.

Speaking of which, which zone-related template would have to be updated to get zones to be categorized not unlike AH-able items, so they'd automatically get covered by the Areas category, and maybe one related to their region and/or expansion, and maybe type (ex.: Town, Open Area, Dungeon, Battlefield Arena)?

As far as I can tell most are protected, so I guess they can't be edited, or I'm just not figuring out how to do that. It's a bit annoying to check the special Uncategorized Articles list and see that most of that consists of areas.


That's handy for basic stats and older magic skill types, but it seems one can't use it to find gear for Blue Magic or Geomancy skill, for example, not to mention even more uncommon stats like Weapon Skill Accuracy.

I know this thread isn't meant for people to dump random data (or is it?), but anyway I did some Siren science, because I just had to know.

- Absorbs wind damage
- All regular attacks are single target physical
- Very resistant to Finale, probably all Light-based
Lunatic Voice: AoE Mute 10'
Sonic Buffet: Conal 10' Wind Breath + Dispel (maybe 2 max?) and like 4' knockback
Hysteric Assault: Multihit Physical Drain, single target
Entice: Conal 10' Charm + Attack Boost on charmed targets
Clarsach Call: Large AoE (didn't check) heavy Wind Breath and gives her Attack/Defense/Evasion/Magic Atk/Magic Def/Magic Evade up.

Testing her physical damage taken, it's peculiar. Slashing was the worst, Blunt in the middle, and Piercing the best, but they all improved considerably with Tomahawk (no relic). Our calculations have her at 25% Slashing, 37.5% Blunt, 50% Piercing.

Yes, it can find those stats. With a little thought you can even isolate top stats without explicitly searching for a specific value.

http://www.ffxiah.com/search/item?&slots[]=256&jobs[]=65536&description=magic%20evasion%2B1#adv

^Here's an example showing the highest meva feet BLU can wear by searching for magic evasion+1. BBCode doesn't like the brackets so I can't package it up neatly, sorry.

It's a very useful tool that's enabled a lot of my research over the years - the main thing it doesn't do that I'd want is a way to filter for multiple stats simultaneously using and/or/not logic. For example, searching "element: fire]+" turns up a lot of things that only give resist fire, when what I'm probably looking for nowadays are items that give resist+ to various elements such as Warder's Charm/+1, Carrier's Sash, or Engraved Belt. Likewise you can't search for meva and INT, STR and attack, etc.

One of the lesser known things on BG is a comprehensive list of all armor divided by slot. This doesn't really do what you are asking as far as advanced searches, but it might be useful to somebody.

Example:

https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Armor
List of all Bodies, for example: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Body

https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Weapon
List of all Daggers, for example: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Dagger (Ya i know the Equipment Modifications section is out of date. I am going to get around to removing them.

Social
BG now has a wiki discord channel for all our editors. Feel free to join us and ask questions/seek help with the wiki here. This has been a really productive increase to the wiki, and is improving quality.

*We would like to welcome Mondegreen to the wiki. He has left behind the sinking ship of Clopedia and joined the cause. We are glad to have you.

Wiki Changes

*I changed the standard spell template. So now that icon of a scroll that no one ever knew to click is now labeled. Yes, we have separate pages for scrolls and spells.
-After that change, talks happened in discord, and Fae created the new referenced pages icon that everyone didn’t know was the link they all wanted. You have all noticed this by now.

*There have been some template changes and additions. To the template:quest usage table and quest reward table. They do more things now like campaign ops and records of eminence objectives based on type=op or =roe in the template.
*There is also now an augmented items template so we have something better than a note on all the pages.

*Darvamos (Chiaia) improved some job pages. Adding missing tables for job point bonuses, links to gifts, etc. There are a lot of job pages to sure up like this. This project will be completed over time.

*Funkworkz uploaded new image icons from the June update (food) to match the current ones.
-He has also finished going over the job points and gift pages. The tables for gifts are now collapsed by default so users are not on a massive page like before.

*Faequeencory updated the missions pages for expansions. Now they are prettier than ever and have reward information along the side.
Fae also started changing the colors of the main page from what I did a couple of years ago, and now it is uglier than ever. :P

*Carrot is the best ever

*Mondegreen is working on pages and templates. Aside from this he is a very busy bee. He has created a new one for automatically calculating an item’s guild point value (see poison dagger) and changes to the CSS for changing the colors of all the templates. We are planning on changing the template colors up depending on the topic.
You can see I have already started doing this. The currency exchange on the imperial currency pages and the augmentable items template on something like hagondes coat, are already different colors. Jazzing that ***up!

And, once again with the color nonsense. Funk, Fae, and Carrot tell me that my choice of red was uglier than ever :|

*Loona has continued fixing links and correcting or adding to zone pages which is very important and also incredibly boring. Loona is our favorite stick in the mud. Every month I shall acknowledge that he fixed links. We love you Loona. :P

*AF for BLU, COR, and LOLPUP was gone over and cleaned up.
**NPC pages for forging the equipment were already there except for LOLPUP which was now created.
-Ghatsad now has a section dedicated to the creation of frames. This page didn’t exist until now somehow.
--The Automaton page desperately needs work though. It is from the 75 era, and completely lacks information. I am 75% done with the new one though after grinding it out for the past few days in a row. It will be in next months announcement despite being done soon. I will ask Carrot to please let the PUPs know about the PUPdate when it is done.

*On a similar note, all materials related to the forging of ToAU AF armor and automatons such as imperial currency or wamoura cloth have been done.

*All materials related to Reforged AF, Relic, and Empy armor have had their pages noted for the use. Later I will go back and add anything missing to those pages.


*All weapons related to Oboro’s JSE weapons have been noted as used for the upgrade and the weapons themselves have been noted as augmentable.

*All escha gear has been marked as augmentable with a link to the materials used and the NPC responsible.
-All WKR stuff too.

*New redirect creations, such as:
-Type BLU AF for example to go to the AF forging page for it.
-Type Puppet Frame Creation to go to the page for making puppets
-Better redirects to mission pages. Now things like “toau missions” works direct to the page, no more nonsense!

*Chapuire of the Woodworking guide was cleaned up and his regular wares were added to all pages. Eventually all guild NPCs will be done, but don’t expect that anytime soon, although I might decide to just do most of them by next month or none at all. Probably none at all :P Feedback?
-Other NPCs like Taten-Bilten (CC in Al Zahbi) were touched up and put on pages. But, this is a drop in the bucket.

*All apex mobs for Dho Gates have been completely done. This includes level on the zone page, spawn amount, and the exact evasion and defense values on the mob page. Thanks to the work of the thread here on AH.com.
- More will be done in time. You can see I cover scattered stuff.

*Along with the augmented items template implementation. All the hundreds of pages for all sorts of skirmish armor, weapons, WKR items, etc have all been revisited and improved.

*Rejoice for the Kupons for the Intermediate RoE objectives have all been done and noted. Doing this caused a domino effect of massive edits to all sorts of content. This should be great for newer players as most of the old pages got some TLC. But, we are always chasing waterfalls.

*Various materials have been done. This is a random change each month to fill in missing NPC and item info.

*We plan on cleaning up the disaster of an RoE page in the future. As well as also planning on cleaning up and improving the Trust page, making the Mount page cooler in the face of new mounts coming out now, and a new beast jug pet page that should be pretty awesome in itself. The jug page design is already under construction by Fae, and it looks nice.


Guides
*The Fantastic EXPs and Where to Find Them guide has gotten a little work since it has been made last month. Overall I will slowly complete it if no one else jumps it. It is intended to be a collaborative guide though. I haven’t gotten balls deep with it yet at any rate.

*Out of the BLU has some more touch ups here and there.
-I have a brand new and much improved Gear Swap linked in there as well as an updated sword flowchart with a new “Sword of Shame” section where we can all laugh at Mimesis.
-I keep skimming things and cleaning them up or adding to them as I see them. I have been putting things in collapsible tables to make the guide easier to scroll through. It is an ‘at leisure’ sorta thing.

* Some various community improvements to the Returning to Vanadiel guide over the past month.

*Funkworkz is working on an editing guide for people. So anyone can learn to edit BG or maybe learn something new.


We are always looking for people to show their stuff in a guide on BG. Feel free to throw one together.


Overall, in the month since the last update notice; there have been about two dozen different editors for about 1.5K+ edits. It was a busy month! Thank you to everyone who enjoys, contributes, and is a part of BG.

Spicy here, and it has been a month since the last update. A lot of work was done once again so I will be posting the update notes tomorrow.

I am visiting Carrot atm, so I am commandeering her account at will for community projects like this. Please, don't start sending the mods/Rooks (especially papa Rooks, he has a life :P) angry PMs that I am posting. It has never been about me :D

So, let me get to my purpose for coming here today.

BGWiki is looking for guide authors!

We have been building out our guides section on the wiki over time. So now I am reaching out to put the word out.

For example, by simply using mostly copy and paste from existing pages you can create a crafting guide like this I threw together really quick as an example.

Link to the crafting guides section (or simply type in guides)


I do get a good stream of tells in game about BLU stuff and my clusterfuck that is the Out of the BLU guide. But, creating a job guide on the wiki is much easier than writing a thesis. You could simply just make an equipment guide and call it a day. We have a template for equipment that is the same (yet slightly inferior)to the one used here. Located at this link.

Link to the job guides section


Finally, I spent the time to give the EXP and CP camp guide a makeover so now it is not a text only guide. It still needs to be filled in more, but it is getting there over time. E.g. I had a great 7m CP/hr pt last night (during the campaign) in Woh Gates, and put the camp and new melee acc cap (since the mob evasion nerf update) for the zone in there.

So, while some may only be interested in guides on AH.com. I am just putting the word out about guides on BG. It comes down to preference really. I enjoy the internal linking and working within the wiki. Discussion threads for it can exist anywhere (BG, AH, etc) or nowhere at all if one prefers it that way.


And of course anyone who is interested, seeking help with a project, or just wanting to get in on the antics may join us in the unofficial BG Wiki Discord

I just wanted to post we have now merged the BG Wiki Discord Server onto the main BG one, the new link is: BG Discord

I'm sure this was done accidentally by whoever changed the mog garden page, but I hope it gets fixed as soon as possible:

The entire section on monster rearing has been removed. This included huge tables on monster types per rank, positive interactions, items for evolution, items now purchasable with cheers, and cheer effects. The table of contents menu still has links for different rearing ranks, but the links don't go anywhere.


Hopefully this information is still stored somewhere because it was extremely useful and well organized.

Edit: Nvm, I see it's now all been hidden beneath a collapsable page seperator. To be honest, those things might make the page cleaner, but they are not well marked (especially since the 'show' is in small letters hidden on the far right end corner). In my case, these tables are the only thing I even care about on the entire page, so it's a little annoying to have them hidden away.

Edit #2: Maybe what's best is to give monster rearing its own dedicated page (it certainly has enough information to justify it) and just stick a little blurb about it and a link to that page on the mog garden one.

https://www.bg-wiki.com/index.php?title=Category:Mog_Garden&direction=prev&oldid=435923

That version of the page has what you're looking for, yeah?

We moved Monster Rearing to its own page to solve this issue. https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Mog_Garden/Monster_Rearing

Thanks!

Hi, thank you. Spicy has been totally revamping/updating all the BLU spells he started with lvl 1 and is working his way up. They will probably be done in the next few days by the time the Apocalypse rolls around(really by next monthly update)he is on vacation. But thank you for pointing it out nonetheless just incase we had missed it.

Will add that right now. Thank you.

I just wanted to see what new BLU stuff was added since I quit and noticed this.

Thank you Skjalfeirdotter! It has been updated.

Maybe next time for such a long data post use a spoiler though :)

In my endless pursuit of random ***to do in ffxi:

Garden:
Mog furrow rank6->7 250 times.


Chocobo Racing Circuit:
C4 -> CC3 races @25 solo victory points (was 21-26 lets assume 25)

C3 -> C2 @50 solo victory points

C2 -> C1 @100 solo victory points (did not have access when at exactly 99)

When you change nation: you restart the storyline races from scratch in new nation, but if you change back to previous you retain your storyline progress under that nation before you changed.

But:
~not sure if solo victory points reset fully each time you change or if you have them saved under each nation. Ive progressed too far now to risk flipping to check.

Having nowhere else to post this, here's some random goodness:

Plouton takes normal physical damage until below 50%, where he gains like 99% DT vs two of the three physical damage types (blunt, pierce, slashing). He can switch when he uses the whirlwind animation. The one he's weak to sometimes makes him take double damage. I'm not sure what causes extra damage, but it might be that he chose the same damage type in succession. Unlike with magic damage, there's no penalty for using the wrong damage type.

Continuing to melee him to death as THF using daggers/swords/clubs.
