"Collectable drop". Isn't the proper term for these "Trophies"? I remember there was a discussion about it on gwiki, and I think they decided to use "Collectable drop" because users were used to it. - BeXoR 19:03, 7 February 2007 (PST)

This isn't GuildWiki. Use whatever you think is best. --Fyren 19:07, 7 February 2007 (PST)
Well I would change it to whatever the correct term is, but I'm unsure where the name came from. It might have been from one of the game manuals. - BeXoR 19:08, 7 February 2007 (PST)
I checked the Nightfall manual and collectable drops are referred to there as Trophies. Runes, scrolls and upgrqade components are referred to as enhancements. - BeXoR 19:14, 7 February 2007 (PST)
Use "trophies", then, but perhaps note they're also called "collectable drops." There's no harm in using both terms. —Tanaric 19:16, 7 February 2007 (PST)
"Collectable drop" is fine. It's simply more self-explanatory, compared to Trophies, which would be taken as "quest reward" instead. — Rapta (talk|contribs) 22:42, 10 February 2007 (PST)
Collectable drop is a community term, whereas Trophy is the official term. It's important to be accurate. - BeXoR 01:00, 11 February 2007 (PST)

I'm wondering whether there should be a separation somehow been items such as weapons/dyes etc.. that can actually "drop" from a creature and other items like "minatures" which can't drop?

I can drop a miniature on the ground though. I'm sure a note explaining on the item's page would suffice. - - BeXoR 07:54, 9 February 2007 (PST)

Contest the move

In game documentation runes aren't upgrade components. Enhancements are referred to as "runes that can augment armor or upgrade components which can enhance your weapons". - BeXoR 16:11, 9 February 2007 (PST)

"Cannot be salvaged" or "Not salvageable"

what does the in-game description say? --VVong|BA 19:21, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Slight addition

Currently at the bottom it says this:

Bundles differ from most items as they replace your weapons (including off-hand) when carried rather than being moved to your inventory.

I added the redirect for the off-hand link to the Focus Item page, considering the offhand also leads there. To add clarity, I suggest that the Item page be changed to say this:

Bundles differ from most items as they replace your weapons (including off-hand and shield items) when carried rather than being moved to your inventory.

Otherwise people may only think that bundles remove focus items, not shields. That or maybe make the off-hand page be a page describing what the term off hand itself means, and link to both the shields and focus item pages. If this method is done, then the link offhand may need to be corectly redirected to the off-hand page.--Neithan DiniemUser Neithan Diniem Sig.png 14:24, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

tomes
