Can anyone post the appraisals of the 6 density elemental weapons? That way, they can also be posted on elanthipedia.

Thanks!

I'll add spaces for them to the wkki when I get home so people can do that directly. I started to do it when the infusion was first updated, but quickly realized that the table was quite long. I.e. each weapon skill has 20 entries: 2 templates each with 4 tiers, 3 of which have 3 densities. To that end, I have 3 options. What would people prefer?

1. Put everything in one huge table. This is REALLY long, with no easy way to single click to the weapon type and density you want. You can easily sort to directly compare any two weapons you might want to, however.
2. Break the table up by weapon types: edged, blunt, and miscellaneous. The table of contents has a place to go near to wherever your weapon type is o with a single click that has all densities listed. The disadvantage here is you can't easily compare weapons of a different class. E.g. a 2HB with a 2HE or a Halberd.
3. Split the table by density so there's one table for each if 4, 5, and 6, but then there would be no way to easily compare different density versions of a weapon.
4. Split the table into one for each weapon type. This makes the list very easy to navigate using the table of contents and easy to read, but loses all ability to easily sort to compare weapons of different weapon skills, although you can easily compare densities of a single weapon type.

I'm leaning to option 4 since this makes it similar to how weaponsmith crafter's list their products. E.g. Caraamon's Wares page. If I don't get any responses, then I'll go ahead and do it that way.

I prefer option 4.

When I do weapon comparisons I simply use two side-by-side tabs, because most of the time you can't sort things inside the same tab anyway (comparing, say, Milgrym to forged, etc.).

Ugh, so many phone related typos in my last post. :/

I've done option 4 as an update to the page, so feel free to start plugging in numbers where you can, or post them here and someone else can do it for you.

Sidenote: I noticed in Padhg's addition of the tier 5 appraisals for the small edged versions that the appraised value dropped from 250 copper to 37 copper with the density shape. Is this correct for all three densities, and if so why would that be?

Is it possible to organize by skill type, and then have nested expanding menus? My wiki-fu isn't that great - can you nest expanding menus?

Technically you can nest tables within tables, but there's no sorting capability between sections of it, it looks kind of ugly, and according to the wikipedia user guide on tables it doesn't always work properly in some browsers. I actually had it set up this way at the very, very beginning of the page (minus the collapsible part) and it was quickly voted down by several users because it wasn't easy to read and compare weapons.
