Talk:Rosa Salvitas

I may be wrong but isn't Salmon-Colored a possible nod to Red vs Blue (season 1 era?) With Donut? Not entirely sure and not sure how to edit Trivia heading --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.209.230.91 (talk).
 * No it's a friends reference because Ross has a pink shirt but he thinks pink is too femenine and calls it salmon colored --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.11.89.133 (talk).
 * It most likely isn't a RvB reference, because Donut calls his armor "light red" not salmon.  Eive [[Image:User_Eive_Windgrace_Harbinger_of_the_Deceiver.png|19px|Talk]] 19:13, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Seems like a Friends reference, in the episode where Ross (Rosa) calls his sweater salmon colored instead of pink. 88.159.234.111 19:48, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I see here your coming from, but its a far stretch when Rosa actually does mean pink in spanish etc. Jusy a coincedance if you ask me

Name/Translation
I'm not at all fluent in Spanish, but I know "Rosa" is "Pink." I would think "Salvitas" is the feminine diminutive of something like "salvas." According to an online translator, "salva" is "save" but I'm not sure if it's grammatically correct. Could anyone with more knowledge clarify? Could the name also be translated differently in other languages? Might be worthwhile to put under Notes.

 * Looks like Medieval Latin to me. "Salvitas" is safe, and "rosa" is rose. -- bcstingg (talk • contribs) 20:09, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Rosa can also be more loosely translated as the color Pink. 69.249.223.63 20:10, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I'd say it translates into something like "Pink Saves". Which sounds more logical considering the context than "Pink, who is healthy"... I vote for a change in the Trivia, as most people here agree that Salvitas has somethng to do with the word "safe" or "saves" and not with "healthy".

 * I agree with you. I'm going to update it. I'm also going to remove the note about it not being correct Latin; salvitas does mean safety (see here), though it is a noun, not a verb, so the name is closer to "Pink safety". But I think they were going for "Pink saves", and the correct Rosa Servat isn't a very nice-sounding name anyway. -- bcstingg (talk • contribs) 16:58, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Here i was thinking the name translates as pink salvation.Damysticreaper

Untradable pink
Should it be noted somewhere that the pink vials of dye that she sells are untradable? I had more than one alliance mate buying several 100s of it to trade later and finding that out later... Winterbay 20:47, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I think is easierand faster to read an item description ingame to find that an item is not tradeable than going on wiki--SharkinuUser Sharkinu sig.png 20:50, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * We should provide information, not telling people to RTFM (which defeats the purpose of this wiki anyway.)  Koda  [[Image:User_Koda_Kumi_UT.jpeg‎|19px]]  Kumi  10:03, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Buying just to trade the thing later for a profit seems to me to kind of defeat the reason for having the trader in game. This is supposed to support Breast Cancer Awareness month, not be a vehicle for more farmers looking to make a buck. I'm glad Anet already thought that one out.

 * I prefer not to be told what to do with the dye that I bought. Thank you.  And i think my customers are happy they were able to save ~4.5k on dye. 124.99.28.2 16:50, 15 November 2010 (UTC)Ryoko

"Note that Salvitas is not correct Latin here"
It is, however, correct Medieval Latin, from the Latin salvus, meaning safe. I don't know if that's worth noting or not. -- bcstingg (talk • contribs) 21:07, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It's grammatically incorrect. If I remember Latin correctly, salvitas is 1st declension accusative plural, while Rosa is nominative singular.  &mdash;[[Image:User_Ebany_Salmonderiel_Cake.jpg|Cake!|19px]]  Ebany   19:24, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Salvitas is actually the nominative form of the word. I believe it would be in the third declension, like veritas. So Rosa Salvitas does actually have both words in the nominative singular. It's still not correct Classical Latin, being that it includes the M.L. word salvitas. -- bcstingg (talk • contribs) 20:53, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Is she a dye trader
Should she really be classed as a dye trader when her mechanics are technically that or a regular merchant. She just happens to sell one item and you do have the ability to sell regular items. She's also refered to as a vendor, you don't have to request a quote from her etc like other traders. --Smithy-Star 10:54, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
 * i sold my Indent kit to her for more pink dye, so yh.-- Neil  2250  User Neil2250 sig icon6.png 11:13, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
 * She trades dye for money. 84.87.168.39 14:19, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Nice that someone changed it ;) I also put that she is labelled as the pink dye vendor, similar to how the henchman work. --Smithy-Star [[File:User Smithyben sig icon.png]] 21:28, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

npc model
maybe a small note to say that it uses the Candysmith Marley model too? --  Pixy | Talk 21:08, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
