RE: Crystal Staff
This wiki was primarily for the North American version. We aren't aware of a wiki devoted to Vindictus EU, or at least there wasn't about a year ago and a google search still looks like there isn't one, so the Curse staff said adding EU content here was fine. We have a few EU pages, but not many people from EU stop to edit despite an evidently large amount of traffic.

We have a couple templates you can use: Template:See eu and Template:EU. Just add to the top of the normal page and then copy the content to " (EU)" and put 🇪🇺 at the top of the new page instead of the "see eu". Category:Vindictus EU should list the pages we have so far.

If the name of the European version is different from the NA name you can use that name instead of " (EU)" just change the template on the NA page like this " ". --Masquerine 15:22, 5 November 2012 (UTC)


 * When you edited the Crystal Staff, the stats you had were the old values of before Ignition according to NA. I can't really update anything related to EU as I'm in NA and the game is region blocked. I am able to download EU's version and check the files to compare to NA that way, though it's time consuming to do so (and I have far too many other things that need to be updated before I even think of EU's stuff). I've already gone through all of the weapons on this wiki and updated them with Ignition's stats, though I did not check NPC or Expertise crafting (I was planning to come back to it once I updated those related pages first). I'm keeping a list of what has and what has not been checked and updated for Ignition here Vindictus Wiki:September Content Update (Ignition).


 * Judging from EU's home page, it doesn't look like you've had the Ignition update yet. A general list of what was changed can be found on this page September_Content_Update. Basically, everything about the game was modified in some way, meaning pretty much every page on the wiki needs to be checked and modified to accommodate those changes. That's why I made a list on the Vindictus Wiki:Community portal, so we can make progress on the update without doing counter-productive editing with other users.


 * What we should probably do is add the Ignition notice to the main page, so people from EU will know that things are being updated and that many pages are still outdated. Also that their version isn't as updated as NA, and that the changes being made are what EU will be getting soon. It will also alert NA users of the progress of the wiki's updating for Ignition.


 * Also, welcome to the Vindictus Wiki! If you have any other questions, feel free to post them on my talk page. -- Masq talk 15:20, 05 November 2012 (UTC)


 * EU might be handling Ignition's changes differently then, which could be problematic. For the crystal staff example, you'd probably have to make the page as Crystal Staff (EU) in order to keep it separate, and then add the 🇪🇺 notice to it. The noinclude is important to have so that when the page is linked somewhere else, the tag isn't linked with it. I saw that you had that issue on the ivory cestus with weight. I was wondering what was causing the issue with the weight, and now I know - because noinclude was missing.


 * There really hasn't been much made for EU pages as you can see, as we've never really had someone reliable to edit the pages with information. Up until Ignition the majority of the pages were the same for both versions (I think anyway), so it really wasn't an issue. Now though, it seems things are different. Sigil and I are both NA, so we can't really do much to support EU's differences due to the region lock on the game. All I can do is look over anything you make and fix anything that may be wrong with the template/typos/category. I won't be able to assist with verifying the information, but I'll help where I can. :) -- Masq talk 17:27, 05 November 2012 (UTC)


 * The Exquisite Scarlet Witch Skirt for NA has the same stats, but sell price is different at 425. NPC crafting with Clodagh is different too. For Clodagh: 5,000 gold, 2 Red Gnoll Leather, 2 Chieftain Leg Armor, 3 Cloth. Expertise crafting is the same, oddly enough. For Tailoring: 1 Thread, 6 Cloth, 2 Black Gnoll Leather, 1 Chieftain Leg Armor, 1 Fire Spirit Remnant, 1 Sewing Kit. I didn't get around to updating armor/shields yet for Ignition. -- Masq talk 18:47, 05 November 2012 (UTC)


 * The names of items are stored in a localization text file. It is possible that EU received the updated English text file but that your database wasn't updated at all. So you getting the "exquisiteness" armors might just an artifact of Nexon using the same localization files in all the clients, which makes sense since the names aren't going to kill anyone and paying someone to translate and spend time shuffling multiple copies of the same file is kind of a waste if it doesn't actually affect anything. -- Sigil Baram talk 02:21, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

You can also reply on my talk page, thought this is probably not as effective. → Nedigotalk ― 22:48, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I understand where you are coming from. Having complex templates or having to write a lot of redundent data. However, there is an other possibility and this is exacly what will be installed as a plugin to the wiki after Curse staff come back from vacation. This plugin will let us grab data from any paragraph with appropriate markings without the need of templates. You are always free to join us on the IRC if you would like to discuss anything. → Nedigotalk ― 17:08, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
