Template talk:Nav-MagicItems

Hi all, wanted to just check in quickly before I add a new tab - how do we want to handle EXU and Campaign 3 on here? Should there be a tab for EXU separately (for Opal and Dariax's items, and possibly Dorian's given that he is a guest character) or should it be grouped under 'other', with a separate tab for C3?

In the meantime I've added the Goggles of Object Reading to 'Others' for tracking. Thanks! - Untropicalisland (talk) 18:07, 29 October 2021 (UTC)


 * The Campaign 3 party should have their own tab eventually, but I was waiting until the party is named to add it. I suppose the tab could be created with the name "Campaign 3" for now. As for EXU, I actually do think there's enough magic items between them, including Orym and Fearne, to warrant a "Crown Keepers" tab. Some magic items are listed in multiple tabs after all, like ones the Mighty Nein borrowed.-OccidentalAvian 18:56, 29 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I have a suggestion after thinking about this - I think it would be better to split the tabs by campaign (Vox Machina, Mighty Nein, Crown Keepers, Campaign 3, and Other) than by ownership by the party. Right now, items are cross-listed on the 'other' tab if another character notably had them, but it just seems weird to have the same exact blast scepter (for example) listed twice simply because it was technically Yussa's, and I think people are going to most likely look up by campaign anyway. This also makes it easier to deal with guest items, and items owned by significant NPCs (there's no need to have Cape of the Mountebank on all three tabs; VM and MN should be plenty). Any thoughts? - Untropicalisland (talk) 21:17, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I think that's incredibly sensible. It's very similar to the current layout and most of the objects aren't going to be moving, so minimally disruptive. And it also doesn't require asking readers to remember which specific character had the item. Many are going to remember what series an item more easily. It would also still allow an "Other" tab to just throw miscellaneous one-shots into, and still makes sense to split EXU. It also is more future-proofed. The "Others" tab will be more manageable if it's only one-shots, rather than every single NPC ever. It feels sensible and intuitive. ~FreckledMcCree (Send me a message!) 21:27, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Sounds fine, though "Others" should be kept for items that haven't appeared yet, such as the other Vestiges or the Arms of the Betrayers, or the rest of the magic items from EGtW. Also items that appear in EGtW adventures, like the Hunter's Coat which belongs to Alonne Frith, a character from Unwelcome Spirits. -OccidentalAvian 21:31, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Definitely - I would still maintain the "Others" tab for items from sourcebooks that haven't appeared in a campaign, and for items from one-shots. -Untropicalisland (talk) 14:28, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

How to handle separate EXU seasons
What's the thought regarding EXU seasons? Should we split them out (ie, one tab for EXU's first season/Kymal, one for Calamity) or group them? The concern with grouping them is that these are different stories and parties; the concern with splitting them is that has the potential to get very unwieldy if EXU has a lot of seasons.
