[] Argontel & Other Bosses' Locations

I'm not sure who planned out the templates for these boss pages, but it would be really helpful if they could be edited to show where exactly they are located rather than just what boat they're on. Just saying that Argontel is found at "Prairie Entrance" is rather useless seeing as there is an area and a battle quest both named "Prairie Entrance". I have seen this same problem for various bosses and it is misleading for players who are trying to complete stories that involve items from various bosses (e.g. the Hoarfrost brothers, Greed, etc). Just a thought.

Here, here! Really, even if it just listed the mission for each mini-boss, it would be an improvement over the way it is now. After all, most of them don't appear in more than 2 or 3 dungeons at the most. However, mentioning which map they are on would over complicate matters. --Rognik () 03:54, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Agreeded. Been thinking I need to make a comment of this. -- 06:16, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

[] Question

Just a quick question, not sure if this is the right place to post it or not, but does anyone know if that event for making a guide on the wiki is still going on or not? I remember seeing one on the website, but it doesnt seem to be there anymore. I have a friend whos interested which is the only reason why I'm asking.

It's over. 15:52, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

[] Quests

It is -very- difficult to locate all the quests in this wiki. I found it much easier when it was located on the front page. Looking for quests is going o be one of the features that many people are going to use and right now it's buried within the wiki and took me some time to find the right words to search for to get to them. Would it be possible to put a link to them someplace on the main page so that it is more accessible? You can't search for quests to fine them. You have to search for "Main Stories" or "sub stories" just to find some of them.

We will fix that soon, sorry about the issues. We are making new navigation portals and stories will soon be made. --Bumble () 14:54, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

[] Templates

It is extremely hard to edit most of the wiki the way the templates are set up currently. I propose we go with a much simpler method of dispensing information. Nobody's going to contribute to this wiki if they can't figure out how. . I added a picture with many different views to the page, but it doesn't go along with the template. In fact... there's nothing but useless garbage in the . See what I mean? There's nothing there. At best, you might find hidden on the page itself, and at worst users will just get fed up with trying to figure out how to add anything and just not do anything at all. I don't think that's a very good way to promote contributing to the wiki. So, I propose a more user friendly template. Flashy is good and fine and all, but it's useless if most people can't figure out how to add stuff. Tiffany () 18:17, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

I agree, I don't really understand how this stuff works, I've edited other wikis and this one is by far the most confusing one I've come across, it looks wonderful but I doubt it has to be this complicated to look good. I also think it'd be better to have someone more active update the newsfeed, I've noticed it lags behind considerably. There are character pages that still show Evie as unreleased, by which I mean there are pages that are un-editable that list all the characters in two categories. I'm really confused as to how all this works as a community editable wiki if it's not editable by the community. 03:48, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

We're in the middle of trying to simplify the editing process. Can you get on IRC to chat? Saiyr () 03:49, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

[] Suggestion for STR/INT Requirements

I'm a bit new to Wikis, so I don't know if I'm putting this in the right spot, but if this isn't in the right place, could someone else move it there? Moooving on...

I was thinking that instead of cluttering up the Stats page with the STR/INT requirements to lift certain objects, maybe we could make a new page that included the STR and INT needed along with a screenshot of the object and where it could be found. -Red ()

I don't think that's really necessary. That would be a TON of objects too. I think it's fine to just list the heavy stuff. Maybe add in some things that are lighter though like broken column pieces...However, somebody definitely needs to add in the int required for evie to pick up certain objects under the int stat. --DANTE20XX () 06:09, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

[] Materials Required for Sets?

I'd be interested in the materials required to complete full sets to decide if its better to craft them or buy them. Also if I have enough materials without having to add them every time. I would help fill in this section if it was added to the template for the armors I can make.

It would just be like Fee: 5000g Cloth x 15 Leather x 10 Gnoll Jacket x 2 , ect. It a nice little box like each individual piece does. I don't how to do this with templates as I don't really get how this wiki is set up. If someone can do one, I'll start on the others I can do. As I get to them.

It would also be good if it marked if this set had a story quest and what the Title it gave you did. So you could make an educated decision on if it was worth crafting for the title. -BlueFire

EDIT: Found out how to do it on some. Though I did it the same way for spider but it did not work. Check the differences between these pages and maybe you can see why its not working.

[] Wiki Color Theme

I'm starting to get into the game but like many others, am very fustrated when trying to use the wiki. Where is the editing rules? There should be some standardization, such as text color and background colors, the purple on gray text everywhere is hard to read, I'm guessing some of the stuff I'm looking at is 10pt font, it should be around 12 or 14 depending what it is. I have lots of time to change stuff, I just don't know what to change it to. --Fluffy () 10:09, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't really feel the font size is an issue but if you'd like to discuss these issues I invite you to join if you have time (and it's not 3am or some crazy time where I'm the only person awake) -Mairu () 11:07, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

[] Item/Recipe Suggestion

I know each battle page shows what recipes you can get from them, but it might be a nice idea to also put what battle the recipe comes from on the items' pages. It would make things easier, I think, instead of finding an item's page, then having to search for the battle the recipe comes from. 22:29, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

I came to this page make this suggestion but you beat me to it haha. What someone needs to do in order to unlock the recipe of an item is fairly important as knowing who makes something is useless if they won't make it and currently this is next to impossible to find on here. I would think something like "|obtain= Crafted by npc after completing battle" would be good. I found that someone had added a note for the recipe to the top of so I moved it to to be like this. I wouldn't mind going around adding this for other things if there are no objections, as it was one of the things that made me want to help edit this wiki. 17:11, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
I'd say go for it. :> After all, the point of a Wiki is to be as helpful as possible. 18:15, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

[] Story Problems

Some of the things are cut off, probably just a formatting issue. --Yahweh () 22:16, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Do you mean on our wiki or in game? 〜 23:18, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
My bad about how broad that was, and it turns out to be both. The text from npcs is cut of in the normal story. I've only noticed it with the new quests; normally I just skip the text anyway. ALSO with the story pages. Quest objectives seem to end before the quest is over. It could be that I'm not seeing a scroll bar, but there is normally more to the quest that is shown. As I write this, it looks like it's been fixed!
Atleast on the Keaghan's Visit Quest. Some of them do not. How is this fixed so I can try and do it.--Yahweh () 18:20, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
Keaghan's Visit is not complete because I am one of the only ones adding new quests for boat 4 and I haven't finished that one on my character yet. Feel free to update it as you see fit. If you don't know how, but know the remaining steps, let me know what they are and I'll add them. 18:44, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

[] Tracking Crafting Material Usage Idea

So updating all of the "Used in crafts:" lists on the material pages by hand is a HUGE pain. If we modified the template to add the pages that it is used on to categories something like "Category:Crafted With Cloth" when it is used for cloth we could just put a link to these categories on the material pages. I put this together to show it works at . These categories could be made hidden if there is a fear of them cluttering up the category list at the bottom of equipment pages, especially set pages. () 00:46, 8 December 2010 (UTC)


[] Request for Changes on main page

Can't edit it myself cause its protected (and thankfully so), so can we get an update on the main page? Under "Items" I would like "Consumables" and "Materials" to list to their respective lists instead of their categories. Under "Vindictus Universe" I would like "Battle Quests" to also link to its respective list and would like you to add "Bosses" under that same category and have it link to the list. --Fluffy () 07:42, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

[] Needs an update

I checked the Vindictus news on this wiki, and apparently, it doesn't contain anything about the Blood Lord update. Please update the news section. :)

--Psionic () 20:26, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

[] Video Capture and other settings

If anyone can find out what the resolutions and quality specifics for the settings for video capture are, that would be very helpfull. and i guess this would fall under a properly organized settings catagory.. I will do what i can to provide info if someone who knows how can work out the structure and organization here. Thanks

Don't know anything about it myself. Did a quick search, and I don't think there are any pages that talk about it, so if you have some info, feel free to make a new page for it. I'd suggest "Video Capture", with the category . --Ujuidar () 05:41, 27 January 2011 (UTC)


hmm is there a section involving game settings? of any kind? if so, can t find it, unless im just blind :P

[] Server switch

Is it possible to switch a character from east to west? -blackhack

Unfortunately, no, there currently isn't a way :( Jaxo ()

[] Advanced Item Sorting

Could we possibly have a feature to be able to sort all items that do a specific thing, like increase your Attack Speed? It would be helpful to return all the scrolls that increase attack speed, or the best weapon for that, etc.

Do you mean something like this -> -- - 21:29, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
Yes, thanks! --Jaxo () 18:55, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

[] Wiki portals

I feel like this needs to be revised Maybe something like

  • Characters
  • NPCs
  • Items
  • Locations (battle quest locations)
  • Stories
  • Enemies
  • Equipment (adjust subcategories?)
  • Enchant Scrolls
  • Titles
  • Guides

What does everyone else think/ want to add. --Bramimond () 18:41, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

[] Broken feather set

On the broken feather set page under "Full Set Restrictions" It says it only requires Cloth Armor Proficiency rank 9, which the boots and bracers need. But it doesn't mention the Light armor proficiency rank 9 that the skirt and girdle needs. I'm new to wiki editing and haven't quite tried editing yet, so it'd be nice if someone else would correct that or tell me if I'm wrong.

[] Category for this page

I recommend this article be categorized into . I would have done so except I am not administrator or bureaucrat and this page is protected (for a good reason and as a common wiki practice). --The Duke of Rockford () 20:12, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

I don't think main pages are normally categorized? -- 23:18, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
Main page at Wikipedia is not categorized but main page at Grand Theft Auto Wiki where I used to be moderator of is. It really depends on wikis. It's up to you wiki staff to decide if it should be or not. I personally think it should be but it's not absolutely necessary. --The Duke of Rockford () 23:38, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

[] Image for Bow

Kai's bow has three views: its longbow mode, short bow mode, and the arrow sheath. And I'm wondering how we should set this up when we only can put 2 pictures on an equipment. -- 16:40, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, I wouldn't worry about it too much until he's released, but I've seen screenshots that show both the bow and quiver in the same image, so all three views can be seen in just two images. Go to the vindictusdb and look at the screenshot for the Ivory Bow (I would link it but I can't, boooo).
In any case, if the time comes that the two image template is not sufficient, it will be changed. Basdeth () 23:04, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
So like this?
View 1 View 2
Longbow Mode Arrow Sheath
Shortbow Mode
-- 20:38, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
I apologize for being unclear. I did not mean the images should be combined into the same image as was done on the image I referenced you to. I meant those two images combined there could be the two different views used (). Although I'm inclined to say that it's unnecessary to include the same angle of the quiver in both views, so perhaps the view 1 could be a more flattering view of the full bow without the quiver in the shot at all. Again, I wouldn't worry about it too much until Kai is released. Basdeth () 00:36, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

[] Captcha and Revert Image not working

On trying to edit in an external link, I was given a captcha to complete. However, I cannot lock in my answer for the captcha. As such, it is impossible for me to use external links. Is anyone else having this problem? Basdeth () 23:04, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

I seem unable to revert any image to a previous version. I have tried on Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer, with script blockers turned off. Can anyone revert images? If you want an image to test on, needs to be reverted to its most recent previous version so that it can be used as the Fiona screenshot.
While testing the revert problem, I tried creating a new account to see if it's just my account/administrator accounts that cannot revert, and discovered the same captcha that prevented me from creating external links prevents me from creating a new account. There is no validation link for the captcha, so I cannot complete it. I see new accounts get created occasionally, so I know some people can complete the captcha. Can anyone enlighten me?
I feel these are rather serious problems, and if other people are having them I'll shoot Bumble an email or something. But I'd hate to be a bother if the problems are just on my end. I'd be very grateful to hear from someone that tries these out (reverting an image, captcha found on character creation screen.) Basdeth () 22:01, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Hovering the mouse over the images will enlarge the photo for better view
I cannot revert images either so it isn't only you. As for the captcha for creating new accounts, my captcha was to select all the cat images out of a photoset of cats and dogs which I was able to complete. Maybe it has something to do with your browser? I'm using the latest version of firefox. --Akumo ()/TestAccount () 22:39, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
(Deleting past revisions aren't possible either) -- - 22:45, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Reverting doesn't work for me too, so something was changed to disallow it and needs to be changed back for it to work, it seems. -- 22:48, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Thank you both very much!<3 It looks like it was me being stupid on the captcha somehow (my guess is I was likely individually allowing all the scripts I saw rather than disabling noscript, which can cause problems). I'll send Bumble an email about revert not working, so hopefully we can get it working again. Basdeth () 23:01, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

[] Dungeons

Some dungeons are categorized as (e.g. ). I tried fixing it but nothing happened. Does anyone have an idea or solution for this? -- 00:00, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing this up. It was caused by the boss pages including their category in transclusions of their page. Some of the pages were showing only their category in transclusions, which was causing the bosses to be invisible in the 'monsters found' section of battles. It should be fixed now, unless I missed some. Good catch. Basdeth () 00:29, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

[] Irukul

Is Irukul really a ? Cause I don't want to make a category with just one thing it in.

Going by the db, . Underneath "Class", it says npc_(type here). Basdeth () 23:47, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Bears don't have tusks though. Irukul doesn't have fur either. It lacks a trunk so it's not an elephant or mammoth. The tusks that Irukul has are just like a boar's pair of tusks, and boars tend to have really short hair (which is just like Irukul, almost like the appearance of skin). Therefore, Irukul is a boar. -- 13:57, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
I disagree with your reasoning on the following basis: the developers are the ones that said Irukul is a bear type. Taxonomy is irrelevant when discussing monsters in a video game. I have created a general discussion about enemy types . Basdeth () 21:01, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

[] Anyone?

Does anyone know how to edit this thing? Beside the owner. -- 15:03, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

If the user who created that image does not provide a replacement when Kai is released, I have come up with the image to the right as a possible alternative. I spent some time trying to recreate the style of the original image before deciding to go for something new. Thoughts anyone? Basdeth () 00:21, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Ooh! Let's have everyone to participate on making the new Home.png, and let us Admins to decides which is best! -- 00:33, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Aha, do you mean like an event for various users to upload like a contest (I remember there was an event held here by Curse with an actual mailed prize)? I guess that could be a way of getting new members and maybe some will actually stay to contribute. Although I don't suppose any of us has real life prizes to give away. The satisfaction of winning should be enough *^*. But for now we can use Basdeth's if it's already made.-- - 04:53, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
For a contest, particularly one involving the appearance of the landing page, I would think input from one of the would be prudent? Bumble () responds very promptly (though to be fair, I haven't contacted the others, they may be just as prompt), if you want to leave them a comment or shoot them an email.
As for my opinion, I like the idea of a contest. Encouraging user contributions is good! I only worry that perhaps, without a prize, there may not be much participation and no one graphically talented may enter. A low quality image on the landing page would not be a good thing. Of course, if participation is good, and at least one high quality image is submitted, it would be all around fantastic, so I dunno. Just my two cents Basdeth () 09:52, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Looks good? Look at my sandbox! -- 16:21, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Jlee, did me and Akumo misunderstand you? Did you not mean a community event? If you did mean a community event, have you contacted one of the Curse members? Because with Kai's release imminent it should be set up quickly. If you did not mean a community event... well, I don't know what to say, so I'll wait for your response. Basdeth () 07:29, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Well I didn't really meant some kind of "special event" or something similar, but just something for people to do for fun. But if you guys want an event, why don't I talk to Bumble () -- 14:06, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Hey guys Kai is going to be released on this coming Wednesay. Let's just decide who's picture would be used, me or Basdeth. -- 23:11, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

I like Basdeth's picture. It has the charming Lann, beautiful Fiona, Playful Evie, Sexy Kai and serious business Karok. More importantly, it shows their faces clearly unlike your picture. Your picture has Lann's face hidden by the dark crest helmet, which I don't like. So I vote for Basdeth. -- 00:30, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Well I'm bit offended, but ok. Basdeth please upload the picture, if you're online that is. -- 00:45, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
I'm not sure if anyone from Curse has let you guys know yet but Bumble has evidently resigned. Wynthyst () mentioned it on the IRC the other night but I was afk at the time, so I'm not sure if she is picking up more of the wikis or if Curse is looking for a new staff member to replace Bumble. Considering the vast number of wikis they run I would hope they are finding someone else though, otherwise Wyn is going to be swamped. Tesla () might still be staff too, but I'm not sure since my entire experience with her was when she popped into all the wikis to say hi then seemed to disappear again. Also, if you need help with the image map I was the one who went OCD on the current one after the person who made the current image left the links miss aligned. -- 21:01, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Ah, I was wondering why Wynthyst () removed Bumble from the . -- 21:09, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Yeah that means end of employment for one reason or another. Odd that she didn't leave a note somewhere while she was here though. -- 21:12, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Hope they find new member. Also should I upload the picture that I cropped out from ? I ask Basdeth to upload the picture in the user talk 3 hours ago, but it seems he's still not logged-in. -- 21:22, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, the discussion involving Bumble happened shortly before their removal. Kind of an odd coincidence. Thanks for bringing it up :)
Jlee, Please do not upload an image cropped out of that jpg, it has compression artifacts. I would like to replace the image during the Kai maintenance, it just seems... I dunno, tidy to me, to do it then. If more people think it is imperative to change it over sooner I will though. Basdeth () 22:42, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

[] Gallery Sections

Well it's me again. I hope you people aren't getting too sick of me eheh. This time, I was thinking it would be nice to have a gallery section for the , , and pages. A gallery section could provide alternate views, action shots, different dyes, as well as mixed equipment pieces. And, perhaps most importantly, I feel it may increase user contributions. Getting users to contribute to a wiki seems very important to me. And currently, image uploading is very hostile on this wiki. There are rigid guidelines in place, and only one spot open to display a particular image, so even if a user manages to get their image uploaded and displayed correctly, it may just be overwritten. For these reasons, a gallery section seems like a good idea to me. Any thoughts on the subject?

Gallery code can be seen in use on the page. Basdeth () 00:21, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Or, to know how to use, edit, or create a gallery. See here, . -- 00:29, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Did you mean like add an additional section/page for a gallery? I wouldn't mind that, as long as we keep the standard View 1/2 on the main page. Perhaps something a link to Name/Gallery i.e. . It would be a good idea to link the 'how to use' at the top of each gallery since it'll probably confuse new users.-- - 14:46, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, I probably should have made examples first. I usually do, was just feeling lazy at the time. But yeah, I just meant a new section. Here's a possible with gallery (as well as possible gallery instuctions if you scroll to the bottom), and a possible with gallery and concept art section added. Do you have any suggestions for improvement to formatting/wording? Do you think it would be better to put it on a new page? Basdeth () 07:29, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Between having the gallery be implemented through a gallery parameter, or through a gallery page, I am currently leaning toward the new page due to what I perceive to be a slight increase in ease of use for new editors. If noone has any suggestions or opinions, I will implement the gallery as seen in my . Basdeth () 00:13, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

[] Vindictus Wiki has been flagged as a malicious site, this needs to be addressed ASAP

imgur.com/a/cV8tj

Both my browser (Firefox) and Google has flagged this site as malicious, this needs to be addressed ASAP.

This happens on rare occasion due to the third party Ads letting a bad Ad slip through. Whenever it happens all of Curse's Wikis get hit at the same time pretty much since they use the same Ad service. It is usually fixed in a matter of a few minutes, but Google (Who provides the malicious site watch service stuff) takes a little while to re-scan the wiki and remove it from the flagged list. It would be nice if Google would just flag the Ad supplier rather than everyone who includes their Ads... but that is evidently a bit too logical. *shrugs*. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- 19:33, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

[] New Main Page Request

I think it's time for a new main page. First reason because most of the current links (if not all) have been revised with a new layout (armor lists, item lists, skill lists). Second reason would be because we're planning on implementing pages for news (events & others) and updates (content patches) and we need a section for those. I don't trust my layout skills enough for the job and that's why I'm requesting this from someone. Simply copy the main page code and paste it on your User_Page/Sandbox page then send it to either one of the admins (Masquerine (), Nedigo (), ) or by replying here. → Nedigo () ― 18:49, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
