Thieves cache potions
I have found 2 weird potions in the Thives Guild caches in Riften. One in each of them. One of them is called "Prime Elixir of Larceny", and is giving a bonus of 40% to Lockpicking and Pickpocketing. The other is called "Prime Elixir of Conflict" and gives a bonus of 50 increased Light Armor skill and 55 % damage bonus to One-handed. I can't find them on the wiki, so i will like to know if you have any idea what it is.

Quality Images
Hello, I was wondering how contributors take the photos. They are in very good quality, and sometimes have a black or white background. How would I take these photos? These maybe novice questions, but I'm new so bare with me.


 * The majority of the people that add photos on here do so on PC, by either taking screenshots in-game or by using renders provided by the Creation Kit. We can't accept photos that are taken of a TV screen, so unfortunately, those that play on Xbox 360 or PS3 are not able to contribute in this area unless they have some type of HD PVR (Personal Video Recorder) hooked up to their consoles. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  05:05, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

Letters
Hey Tomb, i want your opinion on a matter. The articles Letter form Gorm and Letter form Jervar are radiant letters of the quest Scare my Enemy. Do we want a page for every letter from a character which could be part of the quest? All these letters are exactly the same except for the sender. I thought i could delete them, but i could use your opinion. 11:56, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

Advice
Hi Tomb, I "found" some of the unmarked location pages that User:Balagog_gro-Nolob made with missing photos. When looking through just now this page Storm Mage Playground is the same as "his" Karth River Henge. But when I located this place it wasn't a Storm Mage, it was an Ice Mage. What do you think it should be called?

EbonySkyrim (talk) 20:23, November 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok, I have merge info from one to the other, renamed links on the pages and also added the other locations I have edited that he made. What shall I do with the page Storm Mage Playground? Add a Delete template on it? I'm new to that kind of action. :)

Rename a page
How do you change or edit the title of an article? I would like to change the Old Blue Fin page about the quest to Old Blue Fin (Quest). I would like to do this so I can create a disambiguation page for Old Blue Fin (Quest) and Old Blue Fin (Creature). I also need to know how to make a disambiguation page. Thank you.

The Real Barenziah
Hey, sorry to bother you agaiin, but I was trying to update the second volume of "The Real Barenziah" to include, withing parentheses, the scene cut of of it in the games after Daggerfall. I then labeled at the bottom of the page thet the parenthetical text doesn't appear in Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. Two things:

A.) Is that the proper formatting?

B.) The system flags it as vandalism because it's a sex scene.?

Here is the text: (Can't post because it's apparenty vandalism)

From Morrowind onwards it simply says, "[This passage has been censored by order of the Temple.]"

Sky Haven Temple
Hey,

I was wondering if you had, or knew where we could find, an image of Sky Haven Temple for the Blades (Skyrim) article. We dont want to use the same image thats used for the temples article so i thought it would be best to ask around to see if anybody had something we could use.

Also, how much more work do you think the article needs? at this point, Ikabite and i think that the interaction forward needs to be redone, and images need to be added. besides that, do you see anything else that needs done? Cheatcodechamp (talk) 19:15, November 24, 2012 (UTC)

I think its done
Besides some touch-up here and there, i think the article it done.

At least, i hope it is, i cant wait to get back to other jobs, like making sure UESP dosnt skin me :)

anyway, since i dont want to just say its done and move on, i would like to have an Admin (like you) take a look and decide if we still need the template. Cheatcodechamp (talk) 04:43, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

Re Stub
Oops.. I've seen it been at the top on several pages so I thought it was ok to place it there.. Sorry about that Tomb. I'll place it at the bottom from now on. :)          Oh, and on antoher matter, maybe Jimeee has been very busy lately but I rewrote the Siege On the Dragon Cult last weekend and he said he was going to look at it again after I did some tweaking but he hasn't had the time. I also added some photos in the article. Can someone else have a look?

EbonySkyrim (talk) 09:57, November 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Re Siege : Thanks Tomb :) Even though I have spoken, read and written english for many, many years I still have errors, thanks for correcting them. I hope you don't think it was too detailed, I thought about that when writing it. The reason I put the images like I did was because Jimeee showed me a quest article he had rewritten and he had put the images in that way. Thanks for looking through it.

Could you come to the IRC? Ikabite and i got into an argument and we need help shorting it out. Cheatcodechamp (talk) 21:19, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

Fraps
Did I say that Fraps saved images only in JPEG? If I did, I didn't mean it. What I did mean was that it did so by default and I have not looked into settings, but thanks for the advice! Ikabite (talk) 19:51, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

Ingredients page format
I am a little confused over it, so can you please correct me if this question is incorrect. It seems a little strange to me that we have to use abecean Longfish in every single ingredients page, I mean don't you think its a little counter productive to have every page show you Abcean Longish too?

Aldmeri Dominion
Hello, TombRaiser!

I saw you being active and I wanted to ask you something. I recently updated the First Aldmeri Dominion page, and I believe it is named wrongly. As you can see in the history of the page, there was nothing lore-page-worthy on it previously, but the page, for some reason, has merged the "First Aldmeri Dominion" and "Aldmeri Dominion (Online)" pages. I believe that the existing page should be named back to "Aldmeri Dominion (Online)" and someone else should work on the lore page separately. My arguemnt in favor is this, that such naming may cause a confusion among those, searching for info on the upcoming MMO.

I did ask this to Jimeee before, but I did not recieve a response. And due to merge I am not allowed to change the name back myself.

Thank you for you time,

Ikabite (talk) 20:03, December 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have been super busy, but I'll deal with this. I always respond to you Ikabite, patience. Jimeee (talk) 20:12, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Purity quest
I put this up on the talk page of Purity: I found help on the UESP, basically if Vilkas stops following you, ask him for work again and do whatever job he gives you. Then talk to Farkas and do a job he gives you, then talk to Farkas again and he will start his Purity quest. For me at least he saw it through. You can either purify yourself then (before leaving the tomb), or go back to Vilkas, do another odd job and then get Purity again. Vilkas stayed with me the second time and finished the quest, and I can now get followers again.

Orphan Online Pages
Hey! I noticed you setting up the templates, I will redo the Factions (Online) page and add all the known minor factions as well sometime soon. Ikabite (talk) 06:32, December 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * No problem. Just going through nightly maintenance on pages and couldn't find anything to link those to at the moment. — TombRaiser  SPEAK!  06:35, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

Lusty Argonian
I suggest keeping Lusty Argonian Maid Folio as this is the ingame name. The Lusty Argonian Maid: Folio Edition is the full name and we don't use full names of books for article names. Just because they get to long. As far as i know its standard to don't use the full names, but the names like they are in the inventory. 18:31, December 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * So we keep? 18:37, December 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok :) 18:40, December 5, 2012 (UTC)

Adding Images
So I'm currently in the process of trying to add information and a picture to the Ustengrav talk page but when I get to the Add features and media, I get a "Failed" response. Is there a different way I can add pictures to the Wiki and then to the talk page?

UserCharacter
Hello Again :)

It seems I have found a glitch in the template.

(UserCharacter Template removed and problem resloved)

If you edit this post you can see that I have typed in the same thing (Blah) in the weapons category but when it publishes nothing shows up.

On the template page this is not the case though.

I wish there was an easier way to talk to you so we didn't have to go back and forth on these boards.

=) I got some help from someone who saw this post. What needs to happen is the S on weapons needs to be taken off. Then it works just fine.

|weapon =

And just found out that locations doesn't work either.

I found that this image and this image were taken from USEP. I would enlist your aid in deleting them.

Factual correction
By the by, your name is not in dragon language there. It's in dragon SCRIPT, whereas in dragon LANGUAGE it'd be

Qoth Wahl, or assuming your name refers to someone who "raises" or constructs tombs, as opposed to a meaningless phrase referencing an outdated videogame series

CVN broken?
Is something wrong is the CVN? it doesn't tell me about edits anymore. It was doing this to me today, but i assumed that nothing was going on.

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 06:48, December 8, 2012 (UTC)

FuryRC is in the CVN, so im not sure what it could be. I can use the one on the wikia until its fixed, at the very least it wont kick me out at random points.

Linking New Pages
I was planning on linking them, I just finished the NPC's in Shishi then slept. Thanks for linking them though. I'll make sure I link them in the future.

I have a small question though, on Location Morrowind location pages for the 'Map' picture, would that be where its located on th Morrowind map, or would it be the layout of the inside of the area? AlexNeen (talk) 11:27, December 9, 2012 (UTC)

Quality Check
Hello again. I was just wondering what (if anything) could be added to this article (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Lleris_Rathryon) I remember when I finished it off, removing the NPC project tag, but I see its back. As is said on my page i'm trying to help complete the NPC project for morrowind. So I'd like to know what i've been missing on the articles I've been doing.

AlexNeen (talk) 18:06, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought I had removed the template when I had done the page. And I do apologise for the leveled ID, I saw it on an aticle I was finished off and thought I was meant to add it to the articles where it applies. Thank you for removing the tempplate though.

Vamp'eye'er
I happen to be playing the Dawnguard recently and noticed that the eye type for Vampires actually varies by gender. Females have the original vampire eyes while Males have the new vampire eyes added by Dawnguard. I looked on the Vampirism page and can find anything about it, but it seems like an interesting bit of trivia. I would ask if you could add it, since I can't.

I also uploaded images of both eyes for reference if you'd like to use them.

Thanks

Zelron Harbinger of the end times  19:19, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

I knew that it made mention of that the eyes of vampires will change after installing Dawnguard, what I meant to say was that the eyes don't change for females. Female player characters maintain the original appearance of the eyes, but the faces will change. I tested this on four different characters, Female-contracted from Serana, Male-contracted from Serana, Female-contracted normal vampirism, Male-contracted normal vampirism. Males both times gained the new eyes, Females both times kept the old eyes.

Zelron Harbinger of the end times  19:44, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

I only had a male vampire before Dawnguard, so that was really my benchmark. I'm not trying to say that females haven't had any change in their eyes, i'm saying that male and female vampires have vastly different appearances to their eyes after installing Dawnguard. Before it was a minor change in hue, now it is a completely different design. Both those images I provided were taken today, one is Female and the other is Male.

I apologize if i'm explaining this poorly.

Re:Morrowind Images
I did think some of them were a tad dark, but currently, I have a lack of editing sotware, but, since it is needed, I will find a program that allows me to brighten up pictures. Then i'll get to work brightening and cropping all the images I have ready for upload, and any that I have already uploaded. It'll take me a while to do all that but i'll get to work once I find a program for it. Thanks for the heads up on the brightness though. Especially on that command.

AlexNeen (talk) 20:27, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

Ah okay, Thank you for the tip on the software. Just gonna have to quickly do another run through of some of the places i've done articles on. Using tai and the software afterwards.I'll aim to get all the pages i've done updated with the new pages by tomorrow.

AlexNeen (talk) 20:41, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

I don't know if i'm doing something wrong, but every time I've uploaded this picture on (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Ushat_gra-Gulfim) its been that size, each time i've resized the picture, but when I put it on the page, it gets resized the size its at. Apart from its size, is anything else wrong with the picture?

AlexNeen (talk) 21:29, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

Okay the new version is 600 x 1000, and it fits properly, but only if the is left on the picture tag, otherwise it returns to that huge size. Is there any way to have it remain the size it would be without the sitting next to the picture?

AlexNeen (talk) 21:56, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

I think i've finally managed to get it to work, the image is finally at 600 x 1000. and is displayed properly on the page, I'll get to work with the other pictures. Though my original deadline of by tomorrow probably won't happen. Thanks for helping me figure it all out.

AlexNeen (talk) 22:33, December 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll start using GIMP for the resizing, I coudnt figure out how to resize in GIMP, (Although as I see with that link you sent, its rather easy). It's okay, I want to do whats best for the wiki, I realised originally that the pictures wernt to the same quality, but at the time I simply thought that they would make good place holders until better/ more high quality images were made, but no I see that If i do the better images, I woudnt need the place holders. Oddly enough, its not really me wanting to rush, its just that perstering feeling thats 'What if someone searches for that page you planned on doing but you never started it?' So although i'd like to take me time, i always feel rushed based on that same 'What if' idea. Anyway i'll try and take my time wit the images.

 * Another thing, unrelated at that, would it be okay to add other things to the NPC pages like: Health, Magicka, Fatigue, Total armor and a threat level/ summary of what to expect? To give a little idea to the person reading on how hard/ not so hard the NPC would be to defeat. Its just a little idea I had. AlexNeen (talk) December 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * It took some getting used to but I think i've got the hang of scaling, that tutorial only seems to work with whole images, but I use a selction tool, then copy the selected area, then move that to a new blank box, then scale it, then if its needed, I'd brighten it. I thought it would be too, I just thought 'Its one thing to tell them what they could expect, but that doesnt help if it turns out the character has a large amount of HP that would potentially overwhelm the player', currently i'm trying to think of a format, I don't know if it would require a template or just a consistant format. Although at the moment i'm leaning towards the use of a table (coloured the same as the morrowind templates, and then with the 4 headings (Health, Magicka, Fatigue and Total Amour) it'd set it out in a readable manor which is easy to read and isnt to 'in your face'. And was also thinking of adding it in articles, above the 'Equipment' section but below any 'Background/Summary info' on the page, though, I'm not sure on what i'd call the section.
