WELCOME

Hi, welcome to my user page. I just discovered Albion Online November of 2020 and have been really into it. I come from a long time love of RuneScape and this game fills the need for competitive PvP. My main reason for shifting is that Albion Online has a more skill rewarding combat system as opposed to the randomness of some MMOs namely RuneScape. For those that have played it, RS is great but when it comes to combat, its more biased in terms of player level/abilities power than actual player skill themselves. For that reason Albion is my go to for competition with other players. My goal is to farm money and fame while documenting the best ways here on the wiki for more new players to enjoy. Further down the line look for more guides on advanced topics in the areas of some of my passions:

• Money Making and Trading
• Gathering
  • Specifically Ore Miner profession
• Future Topics
  • Fame Farming Guides and builds
  • PvP Content and guides/builds. For this I'll likely take some time getting through enough fame/PvE content to start affording (and risking) my gear.

If I get good reception on these maybe a few video tutorials on the topics and go into more details.

If you would like to reach out to me please find me on Discord in the Albion Online channel or throw something on my talk page

Check semantic formatting for row population of images for each result instead of template

Cursed Blades

Demonic Blades

Semantic Table Testing

Basically, all columns can be properties of the page if set through templates. Need to determine the split between category/property setup and bring to guardian team.

Template WIP

Todo:

• list properties in item info box and then test their search capability in semantic tables
• update weapon page with a template for the formatting of additional items and table query.
• add template to all weapon types: swords and each variant

Templates in Testing

• Template:Patchnote
• Template:Patchnote related
• Template:Patch infobox (modified only)
• Template:Weapon item infobox (modified only)

Test code

$title = Title::newFromText( $wgRequest->getVal( 'title' ) ); $page = new WikiPage( $title );

$categories = $page->getCategories();
