Symbiote Artifacts?[edit]
Hey, out of curiosity, what’s the deal with every symbiote being an artifact? None of them seem to be on that power level, and while it’s fine to have weaker artifacts, none of them are written like artifacts, either. No specific lore, no destroying conditions, nothing. So, why? --SwankyPants (talk) 10:18, 26 April 2021 (MDT)
Because, about 6 months ago, when i started getting into this, i asked an admin (i cant remember who) if there could be a specific area for them, he said i could just do it in artifacts with the subtype symbiote, now, i have started putting unattuneing conditions/instruction into them, ill need to go back and add those, concerning lore, i suck at that, my brain comes up with ideas, and any lore i make is crap,hope that clears things up, Aar0n (talk) 10:26, 26 April 2021 (MDT)
- Ah, that wasn’t an admin, just another regular user. From what I read, it seemed like he just suggested they could be put into Wondrous Items, instead of having their own section, similar to how I did it when I started making prosthetics, like how I also recommended. If you want to, they could easily be any other rarity you deem it would deserve, no forced artifacts. As for lore, yeah, I get it. Most of my old pages stink for lore, either too wordy or just poorly written in general. It’s a learning process. For artifacts, it generally just expects a little more than physical description(I.e it’s a specific, one of a kind item, so where did it come from, why’s it so powerful, so on), so that’s really just why I brought it up. Good luck with those goopy items of yours. --SwankyPants (talk) 10:34, 26 April 2021 (MDT)
- would it be ok if i just used the rarity "symbiotic"? also ill try to come up with some kind of lore
- Well, that’s not exactly a real rarity, so, no, I’d say. Remember that rarity is just a general measure of power, which allows people to judge how much they should cost/when players should get them. Compare them to other magic items, the bonuses they give, and go from there. For example, since the bonus from Silver Skull is really hard to come by(if small), and very useful, I’d put it at a firm rare. Something like those symbiotes that give you teeth would maybe be uncommon, since they were only about as strong as a longsword, but had a decent extra bonus(akin to +1). If you need help giving these items proper rarity, just ask, but it’s not a particularly difficult job. You’ll get the hang of it. --SwankyPants (talk) 13:00, 26 April 2021 (MDT)
- ok, ill do my best to judge that, ill come here if i need more help on that thx!
- Just a quick clarification, the rarities are common, uncommon, rare, very rare, legendary, and artifact. There aren’t different levels or rarities of artifacts, just artifacts. The type would just be Wondrous Item, the subtype is Symbiote, but the rarity can go from there. Just making sure you know after seeing Sandy Shell. --SwankyPants (talk) 18:27, 26 April 2021 (MDT)
- Problems already solved, no need. Just remember to watch out for that next time. --SwankyPants (talk) 19:57, 26 April 2021 (MDT)
Just real quick again since I keep seeing you do it.
- Artifacts are their own rarity, as are common-legendary.
- There are no uncommon artifacts, same for everything else.
- You’re definetly thinking of wondrous items. Most of the symbiotes are listed as artifacts, and thus show up on the artifact list. They should probably be on the wondrous item list.
- Wondrous items are magical items that aren’t specifically armor, weapons, or otherwise. Symbiotes would fall under this.
- They only show up on the artifact list(again, a rarity) because they are tagged as such, but aren’t currently balanced as such.
I’ll help you clean it up if need be, but I wanna know if making them all artifact wondrous items is the intent, or if they’re just meant to be wondrous items with varying rarities. Sorry about bothering you about this again, if it’s the former, but either way stuff needs to be changed. --SwankyPants (talk) 11:42, 13 May 2021 (MDT)
LMK what i need to do to fix it all, I mainly wanted a space to share them and I found items and such here, i can switch the rarity to the correct thing, ill switch uncommon to probably rare,Aar0n (talk) 09:30, 18 May 2021 (MDT)
- Replace “artifact(rarity bulleted underneath)” with just “rarity”. This would take it off the artifact list and put them on the Wondrous Item list. I’m really sorry if I sound condescending but I’m trying to be incredibly specific as to not be misinterpreted. --SwankyPants (talk) 09:33, 18 May 2021 (MDT)
- That would be the intended change, yeah. Thanks for not being angry. --SwankyPants (talk) 10:51, 18 May 2021 (MDT)
