Valkurm Emperor
OverGryph here. Wanted to point out that the recent update I made to the Valkurm Emperor page is 100% correct and doesn't require to be moved to the talk page. I stated that a 5 minute respawn would take 2 hours 7 minutes in Vana'diel time, which is a true statement. I applied my theories and testing on the talk page like you asked. I apologize about reposting the same information after it had been deleted. I thought a normal user might have been having a war with the page at the time or something.
Thanks for your understanding. I hope my edit can stay up. --Gryph 04:16, 12 July 2008 (CST)

you can just add a post to the existing global thread that we're live. thanks.
no. don't worry about it. can you add a few quiz questions? --GAHOO t/ c 20:40, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Question... I noticed their was no article on power leveling, and was going to create one and it mentioned it was deleted by you in the past. I wasn't sure why wiki wouldn't want an article on Pling, so figured I'd go to the source and ask.--DarkTrance 15:53, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Testimonials
Thanks for the tip, didnt know we had a template for that ^^;. I'll try to get around to changing all Testimonial links to that template as well now. --Jawat 20:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Delisting drops in BCNMs
At what point would you say it is ok to remove items as possible drops from BCNMs? e.g. can I remove (presumably "common") items if they reach 0/100? 0/150? 0/200? --Jawat 21:57, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Well for BCNMs, take Under Observation for instance, there are two different kinds of cheap logs that are 0/100, presumably these would have about the same drop rate as other common items like the cheap scrolls, rocks, or gems. Or the Himmel Stock, which would presumable have about the same drop rate as the other cheap weapons. Also, if there seems to be a definite pattern to what items are in all the groupings, and the 0/xxx items dont find into this pattern anywhere, would that allow for desisting them at a lower limit? I do think that 500 is a bit high for these types of items, especially given the number of BCNMs, the limit on how many you can do them due to limited BS/KS, and the infrequency of people actually updating them. But if you're firm with those numbers, i'll stick with 'em. --Jawat 18:37, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Quiz Question
I apologize if, in fact, the correct level is 53 for recall spells. I did in fact create this question from memory, and my memory was that the scrolls were 55, hence the answer I set. And the phrasing "all teleport spells" was intended to signify all 9 spells (Mea, Dem, Holla, Yhoat, Altep, Vahzl... as well as Meriph, Jugner, and Pashh). I apologize for the confusion, but my aim was more to make people think, which seems at odds with the XIclo aim of being "user-friendly", and as such I'll stop submitting questions to the quiz. ~X~ JasaniAVA ~X~ | Talk | Contribs 11:41, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Policy Template for Drop Rate Template
Would it be possible to add a Policy Template explaining the basic rules of using the drop rate template (e.g. report ALL drops, add your drop to the current tally, be sure to increase the total number of kills/whatever for all items, etc)? That way i dont have to type a new message every time i see 9/10 people violate these rules? ^^;
P.S. A answer to the 2nd part of my BCNM question would be awesome ^^;

Drop rate
Thanks for noticing that, fixed. (p.s. dont forget to buy your bonanza marbles) --CharitwoTalk 07:45, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Odd request
Both on and off the wiki, I have been accused of "trolling" the recent changes list to boost my edit count and user level. I was wondering if it would be possible to have you permanently set these things to 0 so that's one less complaint I have to hear about, thanks ^^; --Jawat 07:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Need Testimonial Format Clarification
Jawat agin ^^;, me and Karuberu have been discussing how we're going to move testimonial data from a NM's main page to it's discussion page. We've managed to work out most of our disagreement's, but we're hung on one issue you to serve as a tie breaker ^^;;.
What we can't seem to reach an agreement on is the length of and type of data that belongs on the main page. I believe that it should be as abstract and generalized as possible (e.g. "Killable by: 6 level 60 characters; 3 level 75 characters"), and should optimally only take up 1 line, 2-lines maximum (on a 1280 x 1024 resolution)
Karuberu believes it should should contain a bit more specific data (e.g. up to 4 specific soloable jobs, duoable jobs that are consistent ( i.e. always have a NIN tank) or are pairs of the same job, and short recommendations for a tank/strategy) and should be allowed a maximum of 4 lines (on a 1280 x 1024 resolution)
(I do hope I represented your views well enough Karuberu, if not feel free to chime in and correct me)
So please, tell us what data you think should be on the main page, and what the optimal/maximum length should be, and whatever you decide upon is what we'll abide by ^^. For more specific details about what our disagreements are about, please refer to both our talk pages ^^.
--Jawat 05:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Sadly we have hit a bit of a snag again. Karuberu has stated on my talk page that he no longer cares what was discussed on the talk page, and intends to do it how he sees fit, whether it conforms to what was discussed or not, and despite his previous agreement to follow whatever guidelines you set. Please handle the situation as you see fit. --Jawat 06:11, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Other Quest template update.
Hello! I was wondering if you could add the quest "Survival of the Wisest" to the Other Quests checklist? Thank you! Arngrim 01:20, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Drop Rate Assistance
There is a user that is going around and "updating" all drop rates for items. Problem is, he's doing more harm than good. The new drop rate policy asks for users to update all items for a mob instead of just the popular items. This user is blindly following this rule and updating ALL drops so drop denominators are all the same number for all items that mob drops. Problem with this is that said user is assuming all items with 0/?, giving a low percentage drop rate. If you need more evidence of what I'm talking about, please check out Novv the Whitehearted where I have undone an edit and mentioned it on the talk page. Please let me know how I can go about fixing this, as drop rate percentages are very important to casual browsers of FFXIclopedia. Thanks. --Neowrath 05:22, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Windy
May we please add a redirector to Windurst in a new page named, "Windy"? It saves lots of typing and redirectors take no space whatsover.
Thanks in advance for your consideration,
=Alz
- "redirectors take no space whatsover." If you ask Chrisjander, redirects take up costly disk space and should not be used. - Kylep2 22:26, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
AH Template
Fixed. Thanks. I think Gani has more plans for it anyway. --GAHOO t/ c 18:06, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Pandy
Pandora came back - he's on Ifrit and playing as Vigilante. Thought you might want to know cuz he was someone that used to talk to you and stuff. :D --Birgitte t/ c 18:55, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
Tidal Talisman now on sale for EU Players
As you can see from the subject. The Tidal Talisman is now on sale to EU players [1] , so I was wondering if it was possible to put this up on the news section. Thank you

Resale
Yeah, I can never resist messing around with a new template, lol. It's definately going to help with the new users who don't know how to format the Resale Price properly; explaining how to format it all the time was starting to get old. ~ Karuberu 00:21, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Done. Let me know if you have any other ideas; always glad to help with templates. ~ Karuberu 04:57, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
German Regionpages (zone pages)
There's a problem with the german translation I can't get fixed. In german zonepages it isn't possible to jump to section "Angeln" (=="Fishing") by clicking on the appropriate icon in the "Hobbies"-Section in the upper-right box "Informationen über die Region" (== Zone Infobox), same goes for "Graben" (== "Digging"). I can't find any mistake in my translated templates... perhaps you've a clue what's missing/wrong? If you've any additional question checking this problem feel free to ask me (if it's for some words you're not understanding because of german for example). You can see this problem on Nord-Gustaberg.--Calvagh 18:03, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Tornado818
Not sure where that came from. But he's obviously bored. Also, main article deleted, you only nabbed the talk page. --CharitwoTalk 06:45, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
