GS4-XERAPHINA: /* Tutorial: How to Use the Vissi System */ removing subheader level 1, moved page to reflect it. We don't use subheader 1, ever. That is the same level as article name.

This is the text of the '''Vissi System Walkthrough''' available in game in the Vissi Compendium.

==Introduction==

First and foremost, if you have not yet laid claim to a pair of arcarium, I recommend doing so before going any further.

Your first step, if you haven't already, is to WEAR your arcarium. Do not try to give your arcarium to others, for when you accepted them they became attuned to your ur'vissi. As such, they will only function for you.

Although powerful artifacts, your arcarium can be worn or removed just like any other clothing accessory, and you can opt to wear just one should you desire, though naturally you would only draw the benefits of that arcarium / Orb should you do this.

Your arcarium is your own, and you may eventually discover merchants that are willing to modify their appearance as long as they retain their original nature.

''Player Note: Arcarium are character-attuned and cannot be used by other players. If you have multiple characters, each character is eligible to collect a free pair of arcarium. Additional arcarium can be purchased for aevit if you wish to possess extra sets for purposes of swapping out full configurations, but only one arcarium of each type can be worn at a time.''

==Activation & Suppression of Orbs and Default Ambients==

Once worn, your arcarium are tapped into your ur'vissi, but they are not yet active. Arcarium can be set to active or inert; when they are active they will reflect their full power and your Orbs will be released, whereas when they are inert your Orbs will not be present. Since occasions may arise where you wish to tap into your vissi in a more discreet manner, our Lady formed her artifacts in such a way that most vissi functions can be invoked even while the arcarium are inert.

To make your arcarium active, PROD each one. As you do so, you will notice that the Orb housed with its arcarium is now released and floats above your shoulder. Your arcarium are now considered active, and commoners can now easily see that you have been graced with our Lady's exquisite gift.

Since the Orbs respond to your vissi and ur'vissi, you may notice some occasional random effects as echoes of your vissi flare within the Orbs. Pay these displays no mind; just as a flame will occasionally flare and crackle as it catches a pocket of moisture or gasses, the Orbs will do similarly as they respond to the ever-present emanations of your ur'vissi.

Nonetheless, if these emanations become too distracting for you, you can COVER your Orb, which will suppress them.

''Player Note: PRODding your arcarium will toggle it between the active and inert state. When in active state, your arcarium will produce an orb that can be seen when someone LOOKS at you. The orbs come with some default ambients, and one will periodically fire off every 2-7 minutes (random duration within that range) after the first ambient fires, but if you would prefer to suppress them without setting your arcarium back to inert state, you can COVER MY ORB. The orb will visually remain, but the ambients are now deactivated. You can COVER your orb again to toggle them back on anytime you would like.''

==Inserting Vissi & Activating Abilities==

When you are ready to insert a vissi into your arcarium, hold it in your hand and PUT it in. Your vissi is now activated, and you will see its presence if you ANALYZE your arcarium carefully. As you do so, you'll notice that your analysis also shows you how the vissi within your arcarium can be invoked. You can either accept the arcarium's decision or you can ATTEND to your vissi to select another method of activation.

Some boons that your vissi provide are passive in nature and cannot be directly invoked, so if you do not sense an activation method during your analysis, then that would be why.

If your vissi possesses an ability that can be invoked, you will use your arcarium as a go-between. Use the activator that is paired with your thread on your arcarium, and your vissi's ability will be invoked.

''Player Note: Vissi are inserted and removed from your arcarium just like any container, except that your vissi will require you to be holding an extractor before you can remove it if you are outside the Inquisitor's domain.

''When you attempt to insert a vissi into your arcarium, you will be required to CONFIRM it. This is to prevent accidental insertions since removing it again outside of the Inquisitor's grounds will require the use of an extractor.

''When you insert a vissi into your arcarium, if the arcarium has a direct function that can be invoked, then a verb activator will be assigned to it. Not all vissi have abilities that are directly invoked; some, for example, may offer passive boosts that trigger automatically when the vissi is in your arcarium.

''If your vissi has an ability that can be invoked, you can ANALYZE the arcarium to see what the current activator is set to. The five verbs that are used as activators are RUB, TAP, PUSH, PULL and POKE. If you would like to change the activator for your vissi, you can do so using ATTEND (my vissi) WITH (one of the five activators). Alternatively, if you are using the Wrayth front end, you can click on the item link and select an activator directly from the menu. LOOK IN your arcarium to quickly see the inserted threads and click on them, or use ANALYZE for a lengthier summary.

''Once you are ready to use an invokable vissi, you will use the activator set to the thread on your arcarium to trigger it if the ability is intended to be self-cast. For example, if your thread was set to activate with RUB, then you would RUB MY ARCARIUM to activate it. If your ability can be targeted at another, you would use RUB MY ARCARIUM AT (target) to direct it. Alternatively, if you are using the Wrayth front end, when you click on your arcarium you will notice an ACTIVATE option on your menu; you can use that too.

''If you had multiple vissi inserted, each with its own invokable ability, then you would simply use the activator set to each vissi on your arcarium to trigger that specific vissi's ability. Once you are happy with your activator settings, whether they be the ones assigned by default or a configuration you set with ATTEND, from that point on your arcarium will handle the invocations.''

==Vissi Configuration==

Each arcarium can house a total of five vissi, but due to the unrestrained nature of primal vissi, our wise Lady has limited your arcarium to using a maximum of three primal vissi at once since controlling more primals would be difficult for the novice. Although chimera vissi can be chaotic in their own right due to vissi being isolated remnants of the whole, their nature is more restrained than primals, so there is no limit to how many chimera vissi you can insert.

''Player Note: If your primary consideration is abilities that directly benefit your character, then the optimal setup for you would likely be 2 chimera vissi and 3 primal vissi, for the total capacity of 5. If you are not in combat and instead wish to prioritize RP / flavor-oriented vissi, you can fill your arcarium with 5 chimera vissi. Your exact configuration is entirely up to you; pick the vissi that best match your PC's interests. Just remember that you are limited to 3 primal vissi whatever configuration you ultimately decide on.''

Elsewhere in this codex I explained how the two Orbs reflect our dualism, and as such each Orb may respond differently to vissi inserted into the arcarium housing the Orb if the vissi complements the Orbs' dualistic nature. Read that chapter if you desire a more thorough explanation.

''Player Note: You are free to insert a vissi into whichever arcarium you prefer; all vissi function with both. Vissi that have a single suite of abilities will function identically regardless of which arcarium you slot it in, but vissi that possess two ability suites will respond differently based on whether they are inserted into the arcarium housing the Aversaris Orb or the arcarium housing the Vangaris Orb, so when planning your configurations, keep an eye out for dualistic vissi and house them based on the abilities that most appeal to you.''

==Tiering Vissi Via Duplicates==

Our wise Lady has opted to limit your current primal vissi to a single boon, whether singular or dualistic in nature, because controlling the unbridled nature of a primal vissi is challenging, and she would not wish to see you become harmed by losing control.

With that clarification in place, it is important to note that a vissi can possess multiple abilities, and this is frequently seen with chimera vissi that have been empowered through the feeding of duplicate vissi, which segues into my next set of instructions.

If you would like to empower an existing vissi, you can hold a copy of the same vissi type in each hand and BUNDLE them similarly to how an herbalist would bundle herbs. The stronger vissi will absorb the lesser vissi, increasing its progression towards the next milestone.

Alternatively, if you would like to empower a vissi housed within your arcarium, you can simply PUT the duplicate copy of the vissi into your arcarium. If it is a duplicate, it will merge with the existing vissi, thereby bringing it closer to reaching the next milestone.

Although a vissi can hold multiple abilities, it would be unsafe for the untrained to attempt to invoke them simultaneously, so your arcarium have been designed to designate one of those abilities as active at any given time. You may change the active ability if you TILT your vissi.

There is no limit to how many times you can TILT your vissi, so you can adjust its abilities on the fly; just remember that only one can be designated as active at a time.

''Player Note: The vast majority of vissi can be tiered up through the use of duplicate vissi, with ephemeral vissi being the exception. When you feed a same-type vissi into another, both will be merged into a single copy, and the existing copy will have moved closer towards unlocking the next tier.

''Tiering can enhance the original ability so that it performs stronger, permits more uses, or a combination of both (which is generally the case with primal vissi), or it can result in unlocking new abilities, options, or customizations (which is generally the case with chimera vissi).

''To feed a duplicate vissi, you can either use BUNDLE if holding a copy in both hands OR you can feed a duplicate directly into an original already housed within your arcarium by attempting to PUT the duplicate thread into the arcarium. In the latter case, it will merge the vissi rather than insert the duplicate.

''If a vissi has multiple abilities, whether by original design or unlocked through tiering, only one ability can be active at a time, but you can change the active ability as much as you would like via TILT (my) VISSI. Alternatively, if you are using the Wrayth front end, you can click on a vissi and select TILT from the menu.''

==Customizing Your Chimera Vissi==

Whereas primal vissi are instinctual and typically single-minded in nature, chimera vissi are much more "aware," and as such their empowerment is sometimes reflected in broadening a chimera vissi's ability to react rather than unlocking an entirely new ability. This can result in you having a firmer control of exactly how a chimera vissi's emanations or abilities will react or appear.

Should such a mastery be unlocked within your vissi, you can target elements you would like to change by TURNing and TWISTing your thread. When you TURN your thread, you will direct it to a specific element you wish to change, and once you have selected that element you would then TWIST that thread to modify the selected element.

''Player Note: Since chimera vissi have a heavier focus on atmosphere and roleplaying abilities, often segments of text within their ambients or abilities can be customized so that the final output better matches your tastes or your character's personality (though usually these customizations will need to be unlocked by tiering your vissi up).

''If you have unlocked these customizations, you can modify them at will via TURN and TWIST. When you TURN your vissi, you will be provided a text snippet that includes some bolded words. The bolded text is the segment that can be customized, and the surrounding text within the snippet helps provide you context of how the customized text will appear within the greater sentence. These segments can be as simple as changing a single adjective or as complex as changing an entire reaction or sentence, and multiple customizable segments may be available within the same sentence. Simply TURN to rotate through any customizable segments that you've unlocked, and when you've reached the end of the list of available customizable segments, you will simply return back to the start.

''When you have decided on a segment that you would like to customize, you will then TWIST your vissi to rotate through the available customizations. As with TURN, each time you TWIST your vissi, the customized text will be highlighted, and you will be given a snippet of contextual text before and after the bolded text.

''You can TURN and TWIST your vissi as often as you like, so feel free to experiment and change them as your mood, character, and surroundings take you. Just note that you will have a five minute period in which to start TWISTing your thread after a TURN. If you TURN your thread and five minutes elapsed before you attempted to TWIST it, you'll be told that you need to TURN your vissi to begin the customizations. That just means the timer ran out; use TURN to rotate back to the segment you wanted to modify, then your ability to TWIST through the customizations will be available.

==Selecting & Disabling of Desired Ambients==

Finally, you may have noticed that I stated with mastery of your chimera vissi that it is possible you may be able to influence the appearance or responses of emanations, so let us circle back to one of the points we covered at the start. As I started previously, your Orbs can react to your ur'vissi's emanations and flare occasionally, and the same is true of vissi.

Your Orbs serve to amplify the power of your vissi and thus have no "mind" of their own, so their responses to the ur'vissi emanations cannot be guided by you. You may command the Orbs to keep the emanations hidden, but that is the extent of your control over the Orbs.

Since your vissi is drawn directly from the ur'vissi, some vissi can retain enough intelligence or malleability to allow you to influence the emanations. So, whereas your two options with the Orb are to either accept the inherent emanations or suppress them, some vissi threads may additionally allow you to guide how they appear or react.

''Player Note: Some vissi may contain an ambient, and whereas orb ambients cannot be customized, a vissi ambient might allow customization as stated in the previous Player Notes section.

''If an inserted vissi has an unlocked ambient within it, that ambient will be added to the list of available ambients your orb can randomly choose from when it fires. COVERing your orb does not deactivate all ambients; it simply suppresses the default ones. What this means is if you do not want the default orb ambients to fire but did want your vissi ambients to fire, you can accomplish that by simply COVERing your orb to toggle the default ones off. From that point on, any time your orb fires an ambient, it will only choose from among any active vissi ambients since the default ones connected to orb were suppressed.

''You can also COVER (my) VISSI to suppress an ambient that is active on an individual vissi. The system was designed to give you full control. Do you like most of the ambients but dislike a particular vissi's ambient? Simply COVER that vissi to suppress its ambient; the default ones and any other vissi's ambients will continue to fire. Want only your vissi ambients to fire? Just COVER your orb and keep all vissi ambients active. Want to force a personal favorite vissi ambient to fire each time? COVER your orb and all vissi except the one you want to remain active, then the system will fire only your preferred ambient and suppress the rest.

''You can also shut all ambients off instantly by PRODding your arcarium to set it to inert, though that will cause your orb to be hidden away within your arcarium. So as you can see, you have a great deal of control over how flashy or inconspicuous you wish your Orbs of Vicissitude to be, and since abilities can still be activated when your arcarium is inert, you aren't sacrificing anything by taking the discreet path if that better matches your tastes.

Cysaegir

GS4-XERAPHINA: /* Citizen Shops */

[[Image:Cysaegir.png|thumb|right|Cysaegir map by GM Xeraphina.<br>There is also an alternate Lich mapdb version: https://gswiki.play.net/File:Cysaegir_(mapdb).png]]

'''Cysaegir''' is a small [[Illistim]]-built town found off [[Whistler's Pass]]. Formerly named Glimae'den, it had been abandoned for some time when the [[Aelotoi]] arrived in [[Elanthia]] in the year 5103. [[Myasara Illistim]], wanting to help them along in their new lives in Elanthia, had the town cleaned up and reinhabited, and then gave it to the aelotoi. The name Cysaegir means "Sanctuary" in the aelotoi language, and it was named such as it represents the first true safe haven they have ever known. It is now inhabited by the aelotoi and a number of elves who run the shops and other services of the town.

The town itself is found in a lush forest, and portions of it are actually located in the [[Treetop Platform|treetops]]. It is rather small, but offers most standard town services, including [[citizenship]] available to all races, an inn, a bank, and lockers.

Due to the Aelotoi's recent arrival on Elanthia, they do not bear the same prejudices and stereotypes of the various races of Elanthia as the elves. Hence, Cysaegir is accommodating towards all races, offering fair prices towards non-elves.

[[Image:Cysaegir.png|thumb|right|Cysaegir map by GM Xeraphina.<br>There is also an alternate Lich mapdb version: https://gswiki.play.net/File:Cysaegir_(mapdb).png]]

'''Cysaegir''' is a small [[Illistim]]-built town found off [[Whistler's Pass]]. Formerly named Glimae'den, it had been abandoned for some time when the [[Aelotoi]] arrived in [[Elanthia]] in the year 5103. [[Myasara Illistim]], wanting to help them along in their new lives in Elanthia, had the town cleaned up and reinhabited, and then gave it to the aelotoi. The name Cysaegir means "Sanctuary" in the aelotoi language, and it was named such as it represents the first true safe haven they have ever known. It is now inhabited by the aelotoi and a number of elves who run the shops and other services of the town.

The town itself is found in a lush forest, and portions of it are actually located in the [[Treetop Platform|treetops]]. It is rather small, but offers most standard town services, including [[citizenship]] available to all races, an inn, a bank, and lockers.

Announcement: The Veil Grows Thin

GS4-XERAPHINA: moving categories out of tldr

{{Announcement
|category=Events
|subject=The Veil Grows Thin
|author=GS4-THANDIWE
|date=2026-09-26
|changelog=2026
}}
Leaves have begun to fall as the year turns toward its quiet sleep; the veil between Elanthia and the twilight of Naidem grows as brittle and thin as a held breath. Strange things have begun to drift across the threshold between the living and unliving, washing ashore like forgotten flotsam from a dream. What purpose do they carry? Will their forms take root and linger in the waking world, or dissolve back into the mist that birthed them? Few can tell, though those who listen closely to the dark may soon begin to understand.

From now until the gates of the festival open, feeders across the realms will occasionally drop unique curiosities. Some of these oddities will fade away once their secrets are shared, while others will hold their shape, waiting for observant hands to coax their meaning into the light. Enjoy the hunt and welcome the unfolding mystery!

Gswiki:Style guide/Item scripts

2026-09-25T14:31:31Z

GS4-XERAPHINA: /* Type */

{{TOCright}}
'''Item script pages''' are articles displaying information about scripted items within GemStone IV.

In order to streamline the process for creating and editing item script pages on the Wiki, an [[Form:Item_script|item script form]] is available with instructions and easy input for parameters.

==Overview==
Below is a breakdown of templates used and a list of sections and what goes in them. This is primarily a point of reference for those who wish to manually edit an item script page, however the [[Form:Item_script|item script form]] handles this information automatically within it.
===Templates Used===
* [[Template:ItemScriptInfo]]: This template is used to create a sidebar table for quick at-a-glance information regarding the item script, verbs used, and populates an introductory paragraph based on certain parameters within the template. This should always appear at the top of the article when creating or editing.
* [[Template:VerbTableStart]]: This template is used to create a table header to record verb and loresong messaging.
* [[Template:VerbTableEntry]]: This template is used to add entries to the table created by VerbTableStart.
* [[Template:Table end]]: This is a simple template to indicate the end of a table.

===Sections===
====Analyze====
This section if for the script's [[Verb:ANALYZE|{{boldmono|ANALYZE}}]]. If available, the full, unlocked analyze should be entered. Otherwise, the highest tier available should be entered for reference. When entering, please surround text with <code><nowiki><pre{{log2}}></pre></nowiki></code>, ex. <code><nowiki><pre{{log2}}>(Input from analyze information)</pre></nowiki></code>. '''Please note:''' Not all item scripts will have an {{boldmono|ANALYZE}} available.

====Usage Information====
This section is for the script's tiering (if any) and verb usage information, and may include a small blurb regarding what the tier upgrade offers, such as an update to mechanical information. It should be used for to create tables showcasing the item's 1P/2P/3P messaging.

*; Single Tier Items
: For items that do not have tiers to unlock, all that is needed in this section is the verb usage tables (instructions/template code below).
*; Multiple Tier Items
: For items with 2 or more tiers (this includes items that are simply "locked" or "unlocked"), tiers should be broken down by level 3 subheaders, ex. <code><nowiki>===Tier 1===</nowiki></code>. Besides verbs, some items may have additional abilities unlocked per tier, which should be detailed in a short blurb following the tier subheader. Following that should be the verb usage tables (instructions/template code below), if that tier provides additional verb usage.

; Verb Table Copy/Paste Code
Messaging output should be displayed utilizing a table. For ease of use, the below copy and paste codes present an idea as to how to utilize the templates to build the table, however because scripts may vary considerably, there is no set way to create a table to work in all instances.

:; For the VerbTableEntry template:
: Modifier and 2Pview cells will not populate unless there is an entry in them. This is to ensure the cells line up properly. If utilizing <code>header1</code>,<code>header2</code>, <code>header3</code>, or <code>2Pview</code> in VerbTableStart, the applicable cells must have something entered to indicate if it is not applicable, such as a dash, or N/A.
*; Untargeted:
: <pre{{log2}}><nowiki>{{VerbTableStart |header1= Verb |header2= |header3= }}
{{VerbTableEntry|modifier1= VERB |modifier2= |modifier3= |1Pview= |3Pview= }}
{{Table end}}</nowiki></pre>
*; Targeted:
: <pre{{log2}}><nowiki>{{VerbTableStart |header1= Verb |header2= Target |header3= |2Pview= Yes}}
{{VerbTableEntry|modifier1= VERB |modifier2= Target |modifier3= |1Pview= |2Pview= {{addmetext}} |3Pview= }}
{{Table end}}</nowiki></pre>

====Mechanics Information====
This section is specifically for mechanical flourishes/scripts in order to list mechanical information, in detail. This would includes logs of use to provide examples of the item in action.

====Additional Information====
This section is for additional script information not covered in the above sections of this guide. This section will populate as a level 2 subheader if using the form. If additional sections have been filled out with the form, this section will also encompass those sections as level 3 subheaders for Restrictions, Look/Show, Read, Loresone, and Ambient Messaging. This section will populate even if left empty in the form. If this section is left empty on the form and the other listed subheaders are also left empty, it may be removed by editing the page after the page is saved from the form.

=====Restrictions=====
This section is to list any restrictions the item script may have in place. This may include, but is not limited to, whether it can be lightened or deepened, alteration restrictions, etc. This section will not populate if left empty.

=====Look/Show=====
This section is to display if an item has a hard-coded look/show to it. This section will not populate if left empty.

=====Read=====
This section is to display if an item has a hard-coded read to it. This section will not populate if left empty.

=====Loresong=====
This section is to display if an item has a loresong associated with the script. This section will not populate if left empty.

; Table Entry
To enter the loresong and verses, please utilize the below table code/example:
: <pre{{log2}}><nowiki>{{VerbTableStart |header1= Verse }}
{{VerbTableEntry|modifier1= Verse # |modifier2= |1Pview= |3Pview= }}
{{Table end}}</nowiki></pre>

=====Ambient Messaging=====
This section is to display if an item has ambients associated with the script. When entering, please surround text with <code><nowiki><pre{{log2}}></pre></nowiki></code>, ex. <code><nowiki><pre{{log2}}>(Input from ambients)</pre></nowiki></code>. Ambient messaging should indicate 1P vs. 3P (and 2P, if available), if possible, either by labeling it as such, or utilizing italics for one and plain text for the other. This section will not populate if left empty.

; Examples
* Font Style Difference
<pre{{log2}}>The twohanded sword pulses in your hand, as if seeking something.
''(Person) tightens his grip on his black ora spear.''</pre>

* Labeling
<pre{{log2}}>'''1P:''' The twohanded sword pulses in your hand, as if seeking something.
'''2P:''' (Person) tightens his grip on his black ora spear.</pre>

====See Also====
This section is for internal links that correspond with or complement the article, particularly similar item scripts to this.

====Resources====
This section is for external links that correspond with or complement the article.

====References====
This section if for internal or external citations (utilizing <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>) if used regarding the article.

==Article Creation==
The below section goes over template parameters and their use, including within the [[Form:Item_script|item script form]].

Due to the update in templates and the addition of the [[Form:Item_script|item script form]], articles should be limited to a single item type, primarily if the analyze varies. Items that have related scripts (formerly corresponding scripts or a script family) should be listing and linked on a main (or landing) page, ex. [[Mount]]. The main page does not need to use the templates specifically listed on this page, so long as a table or list is provided on the main page to ensure each individual item script is properly linked to it. Only the individual item pages should follow the guidelines and templating parameters listed on this page. Items that have script variations, ex. [[Book Buddies]], should still remain on a single item script page.

===Article Name===
Scripted items will often have a "script name" found in the item's [[Verb:ANALYZE|{{boldmono|ANALYZE}}]]. This can be a proper name or a generic name, and applicable casing should be considered in the article title. The article name is reflected in the introductory paragraph that is automatically populated by the entries noted below.

For items that do not have an analyze or do not have a generic name within the analyze, please set the name to what would closest reflect the general concept of the item script.

; Propername
The '''propername''' parameter of the template is used to handle "generic names" of item scripts and will force the article name to become lowercase in the introductory paragraph. If the article/script name is the proper name of the item, "yes" will need to be entered into the template or selected in the form. If it is not, "no" will need to be entered into the template or selected in the form. This is a mandatory field.

===Flourishes===
{{:Category:Flourishes}}

; Itemscript
The '''itemscript''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if a script is just a script, a flourish, or both. If utilizing the template directly, this would be entered as "script", "flourish", or if both, "flourish,script", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them. In the form, this is a checkbox to check all that apply. This is a mandatory field, and corresponds with the [[Property:Item script|Item script property]].

===Categories===
Categories, in regards to item scripts, are used to determine the overall type of script it is. As it will always be at least one of the below listed categories, it is a mandatory field and corresponds with the [[Property:Item script category|item script category property]].

'''Please note:''' An item will either be '''mechanical''' (ie. it provides the user with a [[:Category:Combat Mechanics|mechanical]] benefit) or '''fluff''' (ie. it is meant for [[roleplay]] and provides no mechanical benefit). Items that are mechanical in nature may have fluff scripts associated with them, but fluff items do not grant a mechanical benefit at all. If an item provides a mechanical benefit off-the-shell, it will always be categorized as mechanical, not fluff, regardless of the fluff scripts associated with it. In rare cases, an item will fall into both categories, but this may only occur if the item is purely fluff up until a certain unlock in which it provides a mechanical benefit to the user.

* [[Fluff]]: These types of scripts do not provide a mechanical benefit to the user, even though they may be added to things that do, such as weapons or armor. Examples include: [[Fuzzy Warm Parka]]s, [[Veola hair accessory| Veola hair accessories]], [[Peretta gown]]s.
* [[Mechanical]]: Formally known as "functional" item scripts. These scripts provide a mechanical benefit to the user. Examples include: [[Mana-Infused Armor]], [[Sigil Staff]], and [[Sprite Weapon]].
* [[Mount]]: These types of script apply specifically to mount items. They can be either fluff or mechanical, and sometimes both.
* [[Private property]]: These types of scripts apply specifically to private property items. They can be either fluff or mechanical, and sometimes both.

===Classification===
Classifications refer to what the item script can apply to. As these are meant to be umbrella terms, if the item script is specific to a noun type within the classifications, that should be noted with [[#Restrictions|restrictions]].

* [[:Category:Accessory item scripts | Accessory]]: These scripts apply to accessory items only. Applicable worn locations (based on {{boldmono|[[INVENTORY]]}}) are: pin-worn, waist-worn (worn as a belt, ''not belt-worn''), head-worn, wrist-worn, finger-worn, feet-worn*, neck-worn*, arm-worn, leg-worn (attached to), ear(s)-worn, ankle-worn, front-worn*, hands-worn, feet-worn (worn as socks, slipped on), hair-worn, leggings-worn (slipped into)*.

* [[:Category:Clothing item scripts | Clothing]]: These scripts apply to clothing items. Applicable worn locations (based on {{boldmono|[[INVENTORY]]}}) are: shoulders-worn/draped over shoulders (also known as cloak-worn), shoulder-worn (slung over)*, front-worn*, chest-worn, under-chest-worn (layered), leg-worn (pulled over), leggings-worn (slipped into)*, & feet-worn* (shoes). Examples include: [[Dramatic Drapery]] (shoulders-worn/cloak-worn), [[Yansio clothing]], [[Peretta gown]]s.
* [[:Category:Container item scripts | Container]]: These scripts apply to containers, such as belt-worn, back-worn, front-worn*, neck-worn*, or shoulder-worn (slung over)* items. For the purpose of this classification, it does not include cloak-worn items.
* [[:Category:Food and drink scripts | Food and drink]]: These scripts apply to food and drink but either are not food or drink themselves or they are an additive or script that can be used with food and drink.
* [[:Category:Miscellaneous item scripts | Miscellaneous]]: These scripts apply to items that do not fall within the aforementioned categories. Examples include: [[gemcutter]]s, [[lapidary box]]es.

* [[:Category:Weapon item scripts | Weapon]]: These scripts apply solely to weapons.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>'''Please note:''' Certain worn locations may have overlap in categories based on the particular noun they use. For instance, a front-worn corset would fall under the clothing category, a front-worn harness or bandolier would fall under containers, and a front-worn piece of jewelry would fall under accessories.

; Class
The '''class''' parameter of the template is used to indicate which of the classes listed above the script pertains to. If utilizing the template directly, this would be entered as "accessory", "armor", or if multiple, "accessory,armor...", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them. In the form, these are multiple checkboxes to check all that apply. This field corresponds with the [[Property:Item script classification|Item script classification property]].

If utilizing the template directly, this would be entered as "cooking", "crafting", or if multiple, "cooking,crafting...", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them. In the form, these are checkboxes to check all that apply. This field corresponds with the [[Property:Item script type|Item script type property]].

* [[Quest]]: Some item scripts can only be unlocked by participating in and completing a quest.

===Customization Facets===
The '''customization''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if there are certain facets customizable with the item, ex. certain verb interactions with [[Winged wear]]. In both the form and the template, this would be entered as "''facet1''", "''facet2''", or if multiple, "''facet1,facet2...''", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them.

The '''addorswap''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if a script can either be added or swapped to another item of the same class. If using the template directly, this would be entered as "Add", "Swap", or if both, "Add,Swap". In the form, these are checkboxes to check all that apply. This field corresponds with the [[Property:Script add or swap eligible|Script add or swap eligible property]].

===Attunement===
'''Attunement''' for item scripts specifically refers to [[Item attunement#Script Attunement|script attunement]] on an item. This is typically in reference to an item that attunes upon first use, however certain items, such as those obtained from [[Event Vault]]s, are attuned at [[Verb:REDEEM|redemption]]. This does not refer to items purchased with the [[Verb:ATTUNE|{{boldmono|ATTUNE}}]] option. Valid options are either Permanent or Temporary.

In both the form and the template, this would be entered as "''verb1''", "''verb2''", or if multiple, "''verb1,verb2...''", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them. This populates a table beneath the main ItemScriptInfo template. Verbs entered should be done in all caps only, and links are not required to be entered as the template handles that itself.

This parameter should indicate the name of the quest, but omit the word "quest" as the template populates that automatically. Links are not required to be enter as the template handles that itself.

===Features Altered===
The '''features''' parameter of the template indicates which features a feature altering script will temporarily alter. This should be used if the type indicates it is a feature altering script.

* [[Unique]]: This is used to indicate if a temporary feature altering item may alter a character's unique feature field.
* [[Wings]]: This is used to indicate if a temporary feature altering item may alter an [[aelotoi]]'s wing characteristic or wing quirk, ex. [[Aelotoi Wing Jewels]].

===Additional Information Summary===
The '''addinfo''' parameter of the template is used to give a quick summary of information that is not covered by the autogenerated introduction paragraph. There is a character limit of 200, with spaces included. Any more than that should be indicated in the [[#Additional Information|Additional Information]] section.

===Script Restrictions===
The '''restrictions''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if there are specific restrictions on an item script, such as alteration restrictions, etc. The restrictions themselves should be indicated in the [[#Restrictions|Restrictions]] section.

===Loresong===
The '''loresong''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if an item script has a loresong associated with it. The loresong itself should be indicated in the [[#Loresong|Loresong]] section.

===[[Permifier]] Eligible===
The '''perfmifiercost''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if an item script is eligible to be permified. The cost for permification should be entered here.

==Exceptions==
While the above guide outlines how to handle the majority of item script pages, there are times when exceptions must be made due to how certain items behave. For example, certain cosmetics ([[Dapper Hair and Beard Pomade Jar]], [[Lip Gloss by Naidem]], etc.) have essentially two parts: a container and the substance inside the container. In a standard setup, these would be set up on separate pages, however one cannot get the cosmetic separately from the container for use. In this situation, it is better to keep the container as the article name, but include the analyze, usage, and effects of the cosmetic along with it.

Another example would be items that merge together in some form for use, such as the [[Whax doll parts and assembly|Whax doll parts]]. The base for this is a torso which can have additional body parts added to it. Once combined, they create an assembled doll. Once glued, those parts are no longer able to be separated out. It is, at that point, a functionally "tiered" item without being directly tiered. The analyzes for each stage mirror each other with minor differences. Once an infused core is added, however, it changes the functionality entirely and becomes a completely different item ([[Whax doll]]).

If there is uncertainty as to whether certain items should be separated and utilize [[#Script Family Pages|script families]], feel free to reach out to a moderator using the TALK pages or ask in the [https://ptb.discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926 Discord wiki channel] for clarification.

==Additional Information==
===Script Family Pages===
'''Script family pages''', also known as '''landing pages''' are simple pages that should be created when there are a group of scripts that fall under the script family page property. Examples of this include: [[Ghule items]], [[Valence armament]]s, and [[Mount]]s. These pages should not utilize the form or the template for creation as they are essentially focused list pages only.

The page should contain some general information about the script family, and a list of links to the applicable scripts. This can be accomplished with either a query table or by creating a manual table.

====Semantic Query Table====
The semantic query is the preferred method for creating a tabled list of scripts pertaining to a script family, however this should only be used if information is minimal and page properties can be primarily utilized. This method does not allow for table entry beyond what is called from the query and relies solely on page properties. For an example of a simple script family page and semantic query list, please see [[Ghule items]].

====Manual Creation Table====
Due to the type or amount of information relating to certain item scripts, a semantic query table will not be the best approach for script family page creation. In these situations, a table should be manually created and the pertinent information entered.

For example, the [[mount]]s landing page lists mount type, summoning item, which nouns are associated with which tier, and when each type was originally released. Because the table consists of information that cannot be handled with page properties, it was manually created and maintained with each release.

===Item Costs in Articles===
Please do not add unlock costs or item costs to the individual item script pages as these costs vary between festivals, events, and shops. When these costs are added to the item page and the costs change or vary, it is unlikely they will be updated due to the way festival, event, and shop information is added to the wiki. It is rare for editors to be able to or have the time to track down every place that someone has put the now erroneous information, leaving this incorrect information all over the wiki with only the shop page having the correct information. This leads to readers who are confused by the conflicting information and aren't sure which information is most up-to-date. Instead, provide a link to the relevant shops in the Additional Information section under a third-level section header labeled Availability.

===Template Copy/Paste Code===
Below is the copy/paste code for the ItemScriptInfo template if editing the page manually and without the [[Form:Item_script|item script form]].

GS4-XERAPHINA: /* Classification */

{{TOCright}}
'''Item script pages''' are articles displaying information about scripted items within GemStone IV.

In order to streamline the process for creating and editing item script pages on the Wiki, an [[Form:Item_script|item script form]] is available with instructions and easy input for parameters.

==Overview==
Below is a breakdown of templates used and a list of sections and what goes in them. This is primarily a point of reference for those who wish to manually edit an item script page, however the [[Form:Item_script|item script form]] handles this information automatically within it.
===Templates Used===
* [[Template:ItemScriptInfo]]: This template is used to create a sidebar table for quick at-a-glance information regarding the item script, verbs used, and populates an introductory paragraph based on certain parameters within the template. This should always appear at the top of the article when creating or editing.
* [[Template:VerbTableStart]]: This template is used to create a table header to record verb and loresong messaging.
* [[Template:VerbTableEntry]]: This template is used to add entries to the table created by VerbTableStart.
* [[Template:Table end]]: This is a simple template to indicate the end of a table.

===Sections===
====Analyze====
This section if for the script's [[Verb:ANALYZE|{{boldmono|ANALYZE}}]]. If available, the full, unlocked analyze should be entered. Otherwise, the highest tier available should be entered for reference. When entering, please surround text with <code><nowiki><pre{{log2}}></pre></nowiki></code>, ex. <code><nowiki><pre{{log2}}>(Input from analyze information)</pre></nowiki></code>. '''Please note:''' Not all item scripts will have an {{boldmono|ANALYZE}} available.

====Usage Information====
This section is for the script's tiering (if any) and verb usage information, and may include a small blurb regarding what the tier upgrade offers, such as an update to mechanical information. It should be used for to create tables showcasing the item's 1P/2P/3P messaging.

*; Single Tier Items
: For items that do not have tiers to unlock, all that is needed in this section is the verb usage tables (instructions/template code below).
*; Multiple Tier Items
: For items with 2 or more tiers (this includes items that are simply "locked" or "unlocked"), tiers should be broken down by level 3 subheaders, ex. <code><nowiki>===Tier 1===</nowiki></code>. Besides verbs, some items may have additional abilities unlocked per tier, which should be detailed in a short blurb following the tier subheader. Following that should be the verb usage tables (instructions/template code below), if that tier provides additional verb usage.

; Verb Table Copy/Paste Code
Messaging output should be displayed utilizing a table. For ease of use, the below copy and paste codes present an idea as to how to utilize the templates to build the table, however because scripts may vary considerably, there is no set way to create a table to work in all instances.

:; For the VerbTableEntry template:
: Modifier and 2Pview cells will not populate unless there is an entry in them. This is to ensure the cells line up properly. If utilizing <code>header1</code>,<code>header2</code>, <code>header3</code>, or <code>2Pview</code> in VerbTableStart, the applicable cells must have something entered to indicate if it is not applicable, such as a dash, or N/A.
*; Untargeted:
: <pre{{log2}}><nowiki>{{VerbTableStart |header1= Verb |header2= |header3= }}
{{VerbTableEntry|modifier1= VERB |modifier2= |modifier3= |1Pview= |3Pview= }}
{{Table end}}</nowiki></pre>
*; Targeted:
: <pre{{log2}}><nowiki>{{VerbTableStart |header1= Verb |header2= Target |header3= |2Pview= Yes}}
{{VerbTableEntry|modifier1= VERB |modifier2= Target |modifier3= |1Pview= |2Pview= {{addmetext}} |3Pview= }}
{{Table end}}</nowiki></pre>

====Mechanics Information====
This section is specifically for mechanical flourishes/scripts in order to list mechanical information, in detail. This would includes logs of use to provide examples of the item in action.

====Additional Information====
This section is for additional script information not covered in the above sections of this guide. This section will populate as a level 2 subheader if using the form. If additional sections have been filled out with the form, this section will also encompass those sections as level 3 subheaders for Restrictions, Look/Show, Read, Loresone, and Ambient Messaging. This section will populate even if left empty in the form. If this section is left empty on the form and the other listed subheaders are also left empty, it may be removed by editing the page after the page is saved from the form.

=====Restrictions=====
This section is to list any restrictions the item script may have in place. This may include, but is not limited to, whether it can be lightened or deepened, alteration restrictions, etc. This section will not populate if left empty.

=====Look/Show=====
This section is to display if an item has a hard-coded look/show to it. This section will not populate if left empty.

=====Read=====
This section is to display if an item has a hard-coded read to it. This section will not populate if left empty.

=====Loresong=====
This section is to display if an item has a loresong associated with the script. This section will not populate if left empty.

; Table Entry
To enter the loresong and verses, please utilize the below table code/example:
: <pre{{log2}}><nowiki>{{VerbTableStart |header1= Verse }}
{{VerbTableEntry|modifier1= Verse # |modifier2= |1Pview= |3Pview= }}
{{Table end}}</nowiki></pre>

=====Ambient Messaging=====
This section is to display if an item has ambients associated with the script. When entering, please surround text with <code><nowiki><pre{{log2}}></pre></nowiki></code>, ex. <code><nowiki><pre{{log2}}>(Input from ambients)</pre></nowiki></code>. Ambient messaging should indicate 1P vs. 3P (and 2P, if available), if possible, either by labeling it as such, or utilizing italics for one and plain text for the other. This section will not populate if left empty.

; Examples
* Font Style Difference
<pre{{log2}}>The twohanded sword pulses in your hand, as if seeking something.
''(Person) tightens his grip on his black ora spear.''</pre>

* Labeling
<pre{{log2}}>'''1P:''' The twohanded sword pulses in your hand, as if seeking something.
'''2P:''' (Person) tightens his grip on his black ora spear.</pre>

====See Also====
This section is for internal links that correspond with or complement the article, particularly similar item scripts to this.

====Resources====
This section is for external links that correspond with or complement the article.

====References====
This section if for internal or external citations (utilizing <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>) if used regarding the article.

==Article Creation==
The below section goes over template parameters and their use, including within the [[Form:Item_script|item script form]].

Due to the update in templates and the addition of the [[Form:Item_script|item script form]], articles should be limited to a single item type, primarily if the analyze varies. Items that have related scripts (formerly corresponding scripts or a script family) should be listing and linked on a main (or landing) page, ex. [[Mount]]. The main page does not need to use the templates specifically listed on this page, so long as a table or list is provided on the main page to ensure each individual item script is properly linked to it. Only the individual item pages should follow the guidelines and templating parameters listed on this page. Items that have script variations, ex. [[Book Buddies]], should still remain on a single item script page.

===Article Name===
Scripted items will often have a "script name" found in the item's [[Verb:ANALYZE|{{boldmono|ANALYZE}}]]. This can be a proper name or a generic name, and applicable casing should be considered in the article title. The article name is reflected in the introductory paragraph that is automatically populated by the entries noted below.

For items that do not have an analyze or do not have a generic name within the analyze, please set the name to what would closest reflect the general concept of the item script.

; Propername
The '''propername''' parameter of the template is used to handle "generic names" of item scripts and will force the article name to become lowercase in the introductory paragraph. If the article/script name is the proper name of the item, "yes" will need to be entered into the template or selected in the form. If it is not, "no" will need to be entered into the template or selected in the form. This is a mandatory field.

===Flourishes===
{{:Category:Flourishes}}

; Itemscript
The '''itemscript''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if a script is just a script, a flourish, or both. If utilizing the template directly, this would be entered as "script", "flourish", or if both, "flourish,script", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them. In the form, this is a checkbox to check all that apply. This is a mandatory field, and corresponds with the [[Property:Item script|Item script property]].

===Categories===
Categories, in regards to item scripts, are used to determine the overall type of script it is. As it will always be at least one of the below listed categories, it is a mandatory field and corresponds with the [[Property:Item script category|item script category property]].

'''Please note:''' An item will either be '''mechanical''' (ie. it provides the user with a [[:Category:Combat Mechanics|mechanical]] benefit) or '''fluff''' (ie. it is meant for [[roleplay]] and provides no mechanical benefit). Items that are mechanical in nature may have fluff scripts associated with them, but fluff items do not grant a mechanical benefit at all. If an item provides a mechanical benefit off-the-shell, it will always be categorized as mechanical, not fluff, regardless of the fluff scripts associated with it. In rare cases, an item will fall into both categories, but this may only occur if the item is purely fluff up until a certain unlock in which it provides a mechanical benefit to the user.

* [[Fluff]]: These types of scripts do not provide a mechanical benefit to the user, even though they may be added to things that do, such as weapons or armor. Examples include: [[Fuzzy Warm Parka]]s, [[Veola hair accessory| Veola hair accessories]], [[Peretta gown]]s.
* [[Mechanical]]: Formally known as "functional" item scripts. These scripts provide a mechanical benefit to the user. Examples include: [[Mana-Infused Armor]], [[Sigil Staff]], and [[Sprite Weapon]].
* [[Mount]]: These types of script apply specifically to mount items. They can be either fluff or mechanical, and sometimes both.
* [[Private property]]: These types of scripts apply specifically to private property items. They can be either fluff or mechanical, and sometimes both.

===Classification===
Classifications refer to what the item script can apply to. As these are meant to be umbrella terms, if the item script is specific to a noun type within the classifications, that should be noted with [[#Restrictions|restrictions]].

* [[:Category:Accessory item scripts | Accessory]]: These scripts apply to accessory items only. Applicable worn locations (based on {{boldmono|[[INVENTORY]]}}) are: pin-worn, waist-worn (worn as a belt, ''not belt-worn''), head-worn, wrist-worn, finger-worn, feet-worn*, neck-worn*, arm-worn, leg-worn (attached to), ear(s)-worn, ankle-worn, front-worn*, hands-worn, feet-worn (worn as socks, slipped on), hair-worn, leggings-worn (slipped into)*. Examples include [[Nexus jewelry]], [[Knee-high stockings]], [[Veola hair accessory]].
* [[:Category:Armor item scripts | Armor]]: These scripts apply solely to armor.
* [[:Category:Clothing item scripts | Clothing]]: These scripts apply to clothing items. Applicable worn locations (based on {{boldmono|[[INVENTORY]]}}) are: shoulders-worn/draped over shoulders (also known as cloak-worn), shoulder-worn (slung over)*, front-worn*, chest-worn, under-chest-worn (layered), leg-worn (pulled over), leggings-worn (slipped into)*, & feet-worn* (shoes). Examples include: [[Dramatic Drapery]] (shoulders-worn/cloak-worn), [[Yansio clothing]], [[Peretta gown]]s.
* [[:Category:Container item scripts | Container]]: These scripts apply to containers, such as belt-worn, back-worn, front-worn*, neck-worn*, or shoulder-worn (slung over)* items. For the purpose of this classification, it does not include cloak-worn items.
* [[:Category:Food and drink scripts | Food and drink]]: These scripts apply to food and drink but either are not food or drink themselves or they are an additive or script that can be used with food and drink.
* [[:Category:Miscellaneous item scripts | Miscellaneous]]: These scripts apply to items that do not fall within the aforementioned categories. Examples include: [[gemcutter]]s, [[lapidary box]]es.
* [[:Category:Shield item scripts |Shield]]: These scripts apply to shields.
* [[:Category:Weapon item scripts | Weapon]]: These scripts apply solely to weapons.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>'''Please note:''' Certain worn locations may have overlap in categories based on the particular noun they use. For instance, a front-worn corset would fall under the clothing category, a front-worn harness or bandolier would fall under containers, and a front-worn piece of jewelry would fall under accessories.

; Class
The '''class''' parameter of the template is used to indicate which of the classes listed above the script pertains to. If utilizing the template directly, this would be entered as "accessory", "armor", or if multiple, "accessory,armor...", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them. In the form, these are multiple checkboxes to check all that apply. This field corresponds with the [[Property:Item script classification|Item script classification property]].

===Type===
Type refers to a subcategory of items that does not apply to specifically to classification or has abilities that coincide with classifications but cannot fall directly beneath what is listed.

* [[:Category:Cooking item scripts|Cooking]]: These scripts are used in the [[cooking system]].
* [[:Category:Crafting item scripts|Crafting]]: These scripts are used in the various [[crafting]] systems.
* [[:Category:Creature item scripts | Creature]]: These scripts apply to creature-type items, such as pets, ex. [[Dhu kitten]]s or [[Mount]]s.
* [[:Category:Feature altering item scripts|Feature altering]]: These scripts can alter one's features.

* [[:Category:Vissi item scripts|Vissi]]: These scripts apply strictly to vissi within the [[Vissi system]].

If utilizing the template directly, this would be entered as "cooking", "crafting", or if multiple, "cooking,crafting...", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them. In the form, these are checkboxes to check all that apply. This field corresponds with the [[Property:Item script type|Item script type property]].

===Tiering===
Some item scripts are basic with only have a single tier and minimal interaction. Others require unlocks in order to get full usage from them.

; Tiers
The '''tiers''' parameter of the template should only be filled in with the amount of tiers an item has if more than one. In the form, this appears as "Max Tier Count". This field corresponds with the [[Property:Item script tiers|Item script tiers property]].

; Unlocks
The '''unlocks''' parameter of the template is used to note how to unlock an item script to the next tier. In the form, this appears as "Unlock Type". This field is corresponds with the [[Property:Item script unlock|Item script unlock property]].

* [[Bundling]]: Bundling unlocks refers to whether you can [[Verb:BUNDLE|BUNDLE]] or [[Verb:ADD|ADD]] one item to another to unlock it further, such as vissi within the vissi system.
* [[Certificate]]: Certificates sold off the shelf can be used to unlock item scripts to the next tier.
* [[Merchant]]: This unlock type is if a special merchant can unlock the item script to the next tier.
* [[Premium Unlocker]]: As a [[premium]] benefit, certain scripts may be able to be unlocked 1x per account per month at the Premium Unlocker on [[Mist Harbor]]. Not all tiers are available for this unlock option.
* [[Quest]]: Some item scripts can only be unlocked by participating in and completing a quest.

===Customization Facets===
The '''customization''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if there are certain facets customizable with the item, ex. certain verb interactions with [[Winged wear]]. In both the form and the template, this would be entered as "''facet1''", "''facet2''", or if multiple, "''facet1,facet2...''", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them.

===Related Scripts===
Formally known as "corresponding scripts," this parameter is used to enter script names that correspond with the item script. In both the form and the template, this would be entered as "''script1''", "''script2''", or if multiple, "''script1,script2...''", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them. Links are not required to be entered as the template handles that itself.

; Scriptfamily
A '''Script Family''' is a collection of scripts that relate to each other in any number of ways. This can be as a result of a special release (ex. [[Play Apart Together]]) or the individual scripts work together with others (ex. [[Ghule items|Ghule]] scripts).

The '''scriptfamily''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if a script is part of a script family. This parameter corresponds with the [[Property:Has script family|script family]] page property.

===Add or Swap Eligible===
The '''addorswap''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if a script can either be added or swapped to another item of the same class. If using the template directly, this would be entered as "Add", "Swap", or if both, "Add,Swap". In the form, these are checkboxes to check all that apply. This field corresponds with the [[Property:Script add or swap eligible|Script add or swap eligible property]].

===Attunement===
'''Attunement''' for item scripts specifically refers to [[Item attunement#Script Attunement|script attunement]] on an item. This is typically in reference to an item that attunes upon first use, however certain items, such as those obtained from [[Event Vault]]s, are attuned at [[Verb:REDEEM|redemption]]. This does not refer to items purchased with the [[Verb:ATTUNE|{{boldmono|ATTUNE}}]] option. Valid options are either Permanent or Temporary. This field corresponds with the [[Property:Item script attunement|Item script attunement property]].

; Attunetype
The '''attunetype''' parameter in the template is use to indicate if the script is attuned to Account or Character. In the form, it appears as '''Attunement Type'''. This field corresponds with the [[Property:Item script attunement type|Item script attunement type property]].

===Safety Feature===
The '''safety''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if the script has a safety feature for when it is [[Verb:DROP|PUT]] or [[Verb:PLACE|{{boldmono|PLACEd}}]] on the ground for a limited duration, during which other players and the janitor cannot pick it up.

* [[All Mine]]: The All Mine safety feature will only work as long as the player remains in the room with the dropped item.
* [[Stay Put]]: The Stay Put safety feature allows for an item to be placed in a room and does not require the player to stay with it. Certain Stay Put items may be placed semi-permanently in [[Private property|private properties]], [[loft]]s, or [[stall]]s by the owner.

===Verbs Used===
The '''verb''' parameter of the template is used to list verbs, preferably in alphabetical order, that the script utilizes. In both the form and the template, this would be entered as "''verb1''", "''verb2''", or if multiple, "''verb1,verb2...''", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them. This populates a table beneath the main ItemScriptInfo template. Verbs entered should be done in all caps only, and links are not required to be entered as the template handles that itself.

===Original Release Information===
While completely optional, many users enjoy seeing release information for an item, if it is known. This section creates a sentence within the introductory paragraph that handles that parameter.

; Releasevenue
The '''releasevenue''' parameter of the template indicates which event or special venue an item script was originally released at, ex. [[Duskruin]]. In the form, it appears as "Original Release Venue". Links are not required to be entered as the template handles that itself.

; Releasedate
The '''releasedate''' parameter of the template indicates when an item script was originally released. For most item scripts, this will be a year only, however certain events run twice a year, such as Duskruin, and entering the month along with the year is acceptable in these situations. In the form, it appears as "Original Release Date".

; Origmerch
The '''origmerch''' parameter of the template indicates which merchant originally released the item script. This is not always known as some events do not have merchant activity. It is preferred to have a merchant name entered, however in lieu of that, a GM name may be entered instead, if known. In the form, it appears as "Original Release Merchant". Links are not required to be entered as the template handles that itself.

; Giftvault
The '''giftvault''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if an item had a special release. In the form, it appears as "Special Release Type". Recognized entries are listed below.
* [[Giftboxes|Giftbox]] - Accessed through the [[Verb:GIFTBOX|GIFTBOX verb]] when available. Typically limited to one per subscribed (paid) account.
* [[Event Vault]] - Purchased with [[SimuCoin]]s during a paid event. Typically limited to one per character.

===Quest Prize===
The '''quest''' parameter of the template indicates if an item was released as part of participation in and completion of a quest, ex. [[Ghezyte quest item]]s. This parameter should indicate the name of the quest, but omit the word "quest" as the template populates that automatically. Links are not required to be enter as the template handles that itself.

===Features Altered===
The '''features''' parameter of the template indicates which features a feature altering script will temporarily alter. This should be used if the type indicates it is a feature altering script. This is not the same as a glamour, and should not be use for that. In both the form and the template, this would be entered as "''feature1''", "''feature2''", or if multiple, "''feature1,feature2...''", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them.

* [[Height]]: Rarely, a temporary feature altering item may adjust a character's height.
* [[Body]]: At this time, body types cannot be temporarily altered, however it is listed for the sake of future use, in case one does.

* [[Wings]]: This is used to indicate if a temporary feature altering item may alter an [[aelotoi]]'s wing characteristic or wing quirk, ex. [[Aelotoi Wing Jewels]].

===Additional Information Summary===
The '''addinfo''' parameter of the template is used to give a quick summary of information that is not covered by the autogenerated introduction paragraph. There is a character limit of 200, with spaces included. Any more than that should be indicated in the [[#Additional Information|Additional Information]] section.

===Script Restrictions===
The '''restrictions''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if there are specific restrictions on an item script, such as alteration restrictions, etc. The restrictions themselves should be indicated in the [[#Restrictions|Restrictions]] section.

===Loresong===
The '''loresong''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if an item script has a loresong associated with it. The loresong itself should be indicated in the [[#Loresong|Loresong]] section.

===[[Permifier]] Eligible===
The '''perfmifiercost''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if an item script is eligible to be permified. The cost for permification should be entered here.

==Exceptions==
While the above guide outlines how to handle the majority of item script pages, there are times when exceptions must be made due to how certain items behave. For example, certain cosmetics ([[Dapper Hair and Beard Pomade Jar]], [[Lip Gloss by Naidem]], etc.) have essentially two parts: a container and the substance inside the container. In a standard setup, these would be set up on separate pages, however one cannot get the cosmetic separately from the container for use. In this situation, it is better to keep the container as the article name, but include the analyze, usage, and effects of the cosmetic along with it.

Another example would be items that merge together in some form for use, such as the [[Whax doll parts and assembly|Whax doll parts]]. The base for this is a torso which can have additional body parts added to it. Once combined, they create an assembled doll. Once glued, those parts are no longer able to be separated out. It is, at that point, a functionally "tiered" item without being directly tiered. The analyzes for each stage mirror each other with minor differences. Once an infused core is added, however, it changes the functionality entirely and becomes a completely different item ([[Whax doll]]).

If there is uncertainty as to whether certain items should be separated and utilize [[#Script Family Pages|script families]], feel free to reach out to a moderator using the TALK pages or ask in the [https://ptb.discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926 Discord wiki channel] for clarification.

==Additional Information==
===Script Family Pages===
'''Script family pages''', also known as '''landing pages''' are simple pages that should be created when there are a group of scripts that fall under the script family page property. Examples of this include: [[Ghule items]], [[Valence armament]]s, and [[Mount]]s. These pages should not utilize the form or the template for creation as they are essentially focused list pages only.

The page should contain some general information about the script family, and a list of links to the applicable scripts. This can be accomplished with either a query table or by creating a manual table.

====Semantic Query Table====
The semantic query is the preferred method for creating a tabled list of scripts pertaining to a script family, however this should only be used if information is minimal and page properties can be primarily utilized. This method does not allow for table entry beyond what is called from the query and relies solely on page properties. For an example of a simple script family page and semantic query list, please see [[Ghule items]].

====Manual Creation Table====
Due to the type or amount of information relating to certain item scripts, a semantic query table will not be the best approach for script family page creation. In these situations, a table should be manually created and the pertinent information entered.

For example, the [[mount]]s landing page lists mount type, summoning item, which nouns are associated with which tier, and when each type was originally released. Because the table consists of information that cannot be handled with page properties, it was manually created and maintained with each release.

===Item Costs in Articles===
Please do not add unlock costs or item costs to the individual item script pages as these costs vary between festivals, events, and shops. When these costs are added to the item page and the costs change or vary, it is unlikely they will be updated due to the way festival, event, and shop information is added to the wiki. It is rare for editors to be able to or have the time to track down every place that someone has put the now erroneous information, leaving this incorrect information all over the wiki with only the shop page having the correct information. This leads to readers who are confused by the conflicting information and aren't sure which information is most up-to-date. Instead, provide a link to the relevant shops in the Additional Information section under a third-level section header labeled Availability.

===Template Copy/Paste Code===
Below is the copy/paste code for the ItemScriptInfo template if editing the page manually and without the [[Form:Item_script|item script form]].

GS4-XERAPHINA: updated to include information about exceptions

{{TOCright}}
'''Item script pages''' are articles displaying information about scripted items within GemStone IV.

In order to streamline the process for creating and editing item script pages on the Wiki, an [[Form:Item_script|item script form]] is available with instructions and easy input for parameters.

==Overview==
Below is a breakdown of templates used and a list of sections and what goes in them. This is primarily a point of reference for those who wish to manually edit an item script page, however the [[Form:Item_script|item script form]] handles this information automatically within it.
===Templates Used===
* [[Template:ItemScriptInfo]]: This template is used to create a sidebar table for quick at-a-glance information regarding the item script, verbs used, and populates an introductory paragraph based on certain parameters within the template. This should always appear at the top of the article when creating or editing.
* [[Template:VerbTableStart]]: This template is used to create a table header to record verb and loresong messaging.
* [[Template:VerbTableEntry]]: This template is used to add entries to the table created by VerbTableStart.
* [[Template:Table end]]: This is a simple template to indicate the end of a table.

===Sections===
====Analyze====
This section if for the script's [[Verb:ANALYZE|{{boldmono|ANALYZE}}]]. If available, the full, unlocked analyze should be entered. Otherwise, the highest tier available should be entered for reference. When entering, please surround text with <code><nowiki><pre{{log2}}></pre></nowiki></code>, ex. <code><nowiki><pre{{log2}}>(Input from analyze information)</pre></nowiki></code>. '''Please note:''' Not all item scripts will have an {{boldmono|ANALYZE}} available.

====Usage Information====
This section is for the script's tiering (if any) and verb usage information, and may include a small blurb regarding what the tier upgrade offers, such as an update to mechanical information. It should be used for to create tables showcasing the item's 1P/2P/3P messaging.

*; Single Tier Items
: For items that do not have tiers to unlock, all that is needed in this section is the verb usage tables (instructions/template code below).
*; Multiple Tier Items
: For items with 2 or more tiers (this includes items that are simply "locked" or "unlocked"), tiers should be broken down by level 3 subheaders, ex. <code><nowiki>===Tier 1===</nowiki></code>. Besides verbs, some items may have additional abilities unlocked per tier, which should be detailed in a short blurb following the tier subheader. Following that should be the verb usage tables (instructions/template code below), if that tier provides additional verb usage.

; Verb Table Copy/Paste Code
Messaging output should be displayed utilizing a table. For ease of use, the below copy and paste codes present an idea as to how to utilize the templates to build the table, however because scripts may vary considerably, there is no set way to create a table to work in all instances.

:; For the VerbTableEntry template:
: Modifier and 2Pview cells will not populate unless there is an entry in them. This is to ensure the cells line up properly. If utilizing <code>header1</code>,<code>header2</code>, <code>header3</code>, or <code>2Pview</code> in VerbTableStart, the applicable cells must have something entered to indicate if it is not applicable, such as a dash, or N/A.
*; Untargeted:
: <pre{{log2}}><nowiki>{{VerbTableStart |header1= Verb |header2= |header3= }}
{{VerbTableEntry|modifier1= VERB |modifier2= |modifier3= |1Pview= |3Pview= }}
{{Table end}}</nowiki></pre>
*; Targeted:
: <pre{{log2}}><nowiki>{{VerbTableStart |header1= Verb |header2= Target |header3= |2Pview= Yes}}
{{VerbTableEntry|modifier1= VERB |modifier2= Target |modifier3= |1Pview= |2Pview= {{addmetext}} |3Pview= }}
{{Table end}}</nowiki></pre>

====Mechanics Information====
This section is specifically for mechanical flourishes/scripts in order to list mechanical information, in detail. This would includes logs of use to provide examples of the item in action.

====Additional Information====
This section is for additional script information not covered in the above sections of this guide. This section will populate as a level 2 subheader if using the form. If additional sections have been filled out with the form, this section will also encompass those sections as level 3 subheaders for Restrictions, Look/Show, Read, Loresone, and Ambient Messaging. This section will populate even if left empty in the form. If this section is left empty on the form and the other listed subheaders are also left empty, it may be removed by editing the page after the page is saved from the form.

=====Restrictions=====
This section is to list any restrictions the item script may have in place. This may include, but is not limited to, whether it can be lightened or deepened, alteration restrictions, etc. This section will not populate if left empty.

=====Look/Show=====
This section is to display if an item has a hard-coded look/show to it. This section will not populate if left empty.

=====Read=====
This section is to display if an item has a hard-coded read to it. This section will not populate if left empty.

=====Loresong=====
This section is to display if an item has a loresong associated with the script. This section will not populate if left empty.

; Table Entry
To enter the loresong and verses, please utilize the below table code/example:
: <pre{{log2}}><nowiki>{{VerbTableStart |header1= Verse }}
{{VerbTableEntry|modifier1= Verse # |modifier2= |1Pview= |3Pview= }}
{{Table end}}</nowiki></pre>

=====Ambient Messaging=====
This section is to display if an item has ambients associated with the script. When entering, please surround text with <code><nowiki><pre{{log2}}></pre></nowiki></code>, ex. <code><nowiki><pre{{log2}}>(Input from ambients)</pre></nowiki></code>. Ambient messaging should indicate 1P vs. 3P (and 2P, if available), if possible, either by labeling it as such, or utilizing italics for one and plain text for the other. This section will not populate if left empty.

; Examples
* Font Style Difference
<pre{{log2}}>The twohanded sword pulses in your hand, as if seeking something.
''(Person) tightens his grip on his black ora spear.''</pre>

* Labeling
<pre{{log2}}>'''1P:''' The twohanded sword pulses in your hand, as if seeking something.
'''2P:''' (Person) tightens his grip on his black ora spear.</pre>

====See Also====
This section is for internal links that correspond with or complement the article, particularly similar item scripts to this.

====Resources====
This section is for external links that correspond with or complement the article.

====References====
This section if for internal or external citations (utilizing <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>) if used regarding the article.

==Article Creation==
The below section goes over template parameters and their use, including within the [[Form:Item_script|item script form]].

Due to the update in templates and the addition of the [[Form:Item_script|item script form]], articles should be limited to a single item type, primarily if the analyze varies. Items that have related scripts (formerly corresponding scripts or a script family) should be listing and linked on a main (or landing) page, ex. [[Mount]]. The main page does not need to use the templates specifically listed on this page, so long as a table or list is provided on the main page to ensure each individual item script is properly linked to it. Only the individual item pages should follow the guidelines and templating parameters listed on this page. Items that have script variations, ex. [[Book Buddies]], should still remain on a single item script page.

===Article Name===
Scripted items will often have a "script name" found in the item's [[Verb:ANALYZE|{{boldmono|ANALYZE}}]]. This can be a proper name or a generic name, and applicable casing should be considered in the article title. The article name is reflected in the introductory paragraph that is automatically populated by the entries noted below.

For items that do not have an analyze or do not have a generic name within the analyze, please set the name to what would closest reflect the general concept of the item script.

; Propername
The '''propername''' parameter of the template is used to handle "generic names" of item scripts and will force the article name to become lowercase in the introductory paragraph. If the article/script name is the proper name of the item, "yes" will need to be entered into the template or selected in the form. If it is not, "no" will need to be entered into the template or selected in the form. This is a mandatory field.

===Flourishes===
{{:Category:Flourishes}}

; Itemscript
The '''itemscript''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if a script is just a script, a flourish, or both. If utilizing the template directly, this would be entered as "script", "flourish", or if both, "flourish,script", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them. In the form, this is a checkbox to check all that apply. This is a mandatory field, and corresponds with the [[Property:Item script|Item script property]].

===Categories===
Categories, in regards to item scripts, are used to determine the overall type of script it is. As it will always be at least one of the below listed categories, it is a mandatory field and corresponds with the [[Property:Item script category|item script category property]].

'''Please note:''' An item will either be '''mechanical''' (ie. it provides the user with a [[:Category:Combat Mechanics|mechanical]] benefit) or '''fluff''' (ie. it is meant for [[roleplay]] and provides no mechanical benefit). Items that are mechanical in nature may have fluff scripts associated with them, but fluff items do not grant a mechanical benefit at all. If an item provides a mechanical benefit off-the-shell, it will always be categorized as mechanical, not fluff, regardless of the fluff scripts associated with it. In rare cases, an item will fall into both categories, but this may only occur if the item is purely fluff up until a certain unlock in which it provides a mechanical benefit to the user.

* [[Fluff]]: These types of scripts do not provide a mechanical benefit to the user, even though they may be added to things that do, such as weapons or armor. Examples include: [[Fuzzy Warm Parka]]s, [[Veola hair accessory| Veola hair accessories]], [[Peretta gown]]s.
* [[Mechanical]]: Formally known as "functional" item scripts. These scripts provide a mechanical benefit to the user. Examples include: [[Mana-Infused Armor]], [[Sigil Staff]], and [[Sprite Weapon]].
* [[Mount]]: These types of script apply specifically to mount items. They can be either fluff or mechanical, and sometimes both.
* [[Private property]]: These types of scripts apply specifically to private property items. They can be either fluff or mechanical, and sometimes both.

===Classification===
Classifications refer to what the item script can apply to. As these are meant to be umbrella terms, if the item script is specific to a noun type within the classifications, that should be noted with [[#Restrictions|restrictions]].

* [[:Category:Accessory item scripts | Accessory]]: These scripts apply to accessory items only. Applicable worn locations (based on {{boldmono|[[INVENTORY]]}}) are: pin-worn, waist-worn (worn as a belt, ''not belt-worn''), head-worn, wrist-worn, finger-worn, feet-worn*, neck-worn*, arm-worn, leg-worn (attached to), ear(s)-worn, ankle-worn, front-worn*, hands-worn, feet-worn (worn as socks, slipped on), hair-worn, leggings-worn (slipped into)*. Examples include [[Nexus jewelry]], [[Knee-high stockings]], [[Veola hair accessory]].
* [[:Category:Armor item scripts | Armor]]: These scripts apply solely to armor.
* [[:Category:Clothing item scripts | Clothing]]: These scripts apply to clothing items. Applicable worn locations (based on {{boldmono|[[INVENTORY]]}}) are: shoulders-worn/draped over shoulders (also known as cloak-worn), shoulder-worn (slung over)*, front-worn*, chest-worn, under-chest-worn (layered), leg-worn (pulled over), leggings-worn (slipped into)*, & feet-worn* (shoes). Examples include: [[Dramatic Drapery]] (shoulders-worn/cloak-worn), [[Yansio clothing]], [[Peretta gown]]s.
* [[:Category:Container item scripts | Container]]: These scripts apply to containers, such as belt-worn, back-worn, front-worn*, neck-worn*, or shoulder-worn (slung over)* items. For the purpose of this classification, it does not include cloak-worn items.
* [[:Category:Miscellaneous item scripts | Miscellaneous]]: These scripts apply to items that do not fall within the aforementioned categories. Examples include: [[gemcutter]]s, [[lapidary box]]es.
* [[:Category:Shield item scripts |Shield]]: These scripts apply to shields.
* [[:Category:Weapon item scripts | Weapon]]: These scripts apply solely to weapons.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>'''Please note:''' Certain worn locations may have overlap in categories based on the particular noun they use. For instance, a front-worn corset would fall under the clothing category, a front-worn harness or bandolier would fall under containers, and a front-worn piece of jewelry would fall under accessories.

; Class
The '''class''' parameter of the template is used to indicate which of the classes listed above the script pertains to. If utilizing the template directly, this would be entered as "accessory", "armor", or if multiple, "accessory,armor...", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them. In the form, these are multiple checkboxes to check all that apply. This field corresponds with the [[Property:Item script classification|Item script classification property]].

===Type===
Type refers to a subcategory of items that does not apply to specifically to classification or has abilities that coincide with classifications but cannot fall directly beneath what is listed.

* [[:Category:Cooking item scripts|Cooking]]: These scripts are used in the [[cooking system]].
* [[:Category:Crafting item scripts|Crafting]]: These scripts are used in the various [[crafting]] systems.
* [[:Category:Creature item scripts | Creature]]: These scripts apply to creature-type items, such as pets, ex. [[Dhu kitten]]s or [[Mount]]s.
* [[:Category:Feature altering item scripts|Feature altering]]: These scripts can alter one's features.
* [[:Category:Glamour item scripts|Glamour]]: These scripts can apply a glamour in various spots, ex. [[Illusion prop]]s.
* [[:Category:Storage item scripts|Storage]]: These scripts apply primarily to containers and allow for stacked storage, often weightlessly, within them, ex. [[Perfuminator]] or [[Bag of Holding]].
* [[:Category:Vissi item scripts|Vissi]]: These scripts apply strictly to vissi within the [[Vissi system]].

If utilizing the template directly, this would be entered as "cooking", "crafting", or if multiple, "cooking,crafting...", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them. In the form, these are checkboxes to check all that apply. This field corresponds with the [[Property:Item script type|Item script type property]].

===Tiering===
Some item scripts are basic with only have a single tier and minimal interaction. Others require unlocks in order to get full usage from them.

; Tiers
The '''tiers''' parameter of the template should only be filled in with the amount of tiers an item has if more than one. In the form, this appears as "Max Tier Count". This field corresponds with the [[Property:Item script tiers|Item script tiers property]].

; Unlocks
The '''unlocks''' parameter of the template is used to note how to unlock an item script to the next tier. In the form, this appears as "Unlock Type". This field is corresponds with the [[Property:Item script unlock|Item script unlock property]].

* [[Bundling]]: Bundling unlocks refers to whether you can [[Verb:BUNDLE|BUNDLE]] or [[Verb:ADD|ADD]] one item to another to unlock it further, such as vissi within the vissi system.
* [[Certificate]]: Certificates sold off the shelf can be used to unlock item scripts to the next tier.
* [[Merchant]]: This unlock type is if a special merchant can unlock the item script to the next tier.
* [[Premium Unlocker]]: As a [[premium]] benefit, certain scripts may be able to be unlocked 1x per account per month at the Premium Unlocker on [[Mist Harbor]]. Not all tiers are available for this unlock option.
* [[Quest]]: Some item scripts can only be unlocked by participating in and completing a quest.

===Customization Facets===
The '''customization''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if there are certain facets customizable with the item, ex. certain verb interactions with [[Winged wear]]. In both the form and the template, this would be entered as "''facet1''", "''facet2''", or if multiple, "''facet1,facet2...''", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them.

===Related Scripts===
Formally known as "corresponding scripts," this parameter is used to enter script names that correspond with the item script. In both the form and the template, this would be entered as "''script1''", "''script2''", or if multiple, "''script1,script2...''", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them. Links are not required to be entered as the template handles that itself.

; Scriptfamily
A '''Script Family''' is a collection of scripts that relate to each other in any number of ways. This can be as a result of a special release (ex. [[Play Apart Together]]) or the individual scripts work together with others (ex. [[Ghule items|Ghule]] scripts).

The '''scriptfamily''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if a script is part of a script family. This parameter corresponds with the [[Property:Has script family|script family]] page property.

===Add or Swap Eligible===
The '''addorswap''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if a script can either be added or swapped to another item of the same class. If using the template directly, this would be entered as "Add", "Swap", or if both, "Add,Swap". In the form, these are checkboxes to check all that apply. This field corresponds with the [[Property:Script add or swap eligible|Script add or swap eligible property]].

===Attunement===
'''Attunement''' for item scripts specifically refers to [[Item attunement#Script Attunement|script attunement]] on an item. This is typically in reference to an item that attunes upon first use, however certain items, such as those obtained from [[Event Vault]]s, are attuned at [[Verb:REDEEM|redemption]]. This does not refer to items purchased with the [[Verb:ATTUNE|{{boldmono|ATTUNE}}]] option. Valid options are either Permanent or Temporary. This field corresponds with the [[Property:Item script attunement|Item script attunement property]].

; Attunetype
The '''attunetype''' parameter in the template is use to indicate if the script is attuned to Account or Character. In the form, it appears as '''Attunement Type'''. This field corresponds with the [[Property:Item script attunement type|Item script attunement type property]].

===Safety Feature===
The '''safety''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if the script has a safety feature for when it is [[Verb:DROP|PUT]] or [[Verb:PLACE|{{boldmono|PLACEd}}]] on the ground for a limited duration, during which other players and the janitor cannot pick it up.

* [[All Mine]]: The All Mine safety feature will only work as long as the player remains in the room with the dropped item.
* [[Stay Put]]: The Stay Put safety feature allows for an item to be placed in a room and does not require the player to stay with it. Certain Stay Put items may be placed semi-permanently in [[Private property|private properties]], [[loft]]s, or [[stall]]s by the owner.

===Verbs Used===
The '''verb''' parameter of the template is used to list verbs, preferably in alphabetical order, that the script utilizes. In both the form and the template, this would be entered as "''verb1''", "''verb2''", or if multiple, "''verb1,verb2...''", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them. This populates a table beneath the main ItemScriptInfo template. Verbs entered should be done in all caps only, and links are not required to be entered as the template handles that itself.

===Original Release Information===
While completely optional, many users enjoy seeing release information for an item, if it is known. This section creates a sentence within the introductory paragraph that handles that parameter.

; Releasevenue
The '''releasevenue''' parameter of the template indicates which event or special venue an item script was originally released at, ex. [[Duskruin]]. In the form, it appears as "Original Release Venue". Links are not required to be entered as the template handles that itself.

; Releasedate
The '''releasedate''' parameter of the template indicates when an item script was originally released. For most item scripts, this will be a year only, however certain events run twice a year, such as Duskruin, and entering the month along with the year is acceptable in these situations. In the form, it appears as "Original Release Date".

; Origmerch
The '''origmerch''' parameter of the template indicates which merchant originally released the item script. This is not always known as some events do not have merchant activity. It is preferred to have a merchant name entered, however in lieu of that, a GM name may be entered instead, if known. In the form, it appears as "Original Release Merchant". Links are not required to be entered as the template handles that itself.

; Giftvault
The '''giftvault''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if an item had a special release. In the form, it appears as "Special Release Type". Recognized entries are listed below.
* [[Giftboxes|Giftbox]] - Accessed through the [[Verb:GIFTBOX|GIFTBOX verb]] when available. Typically limited to one per subscribed (paid) account.
* [[Event Vault]] - Purchased with [[SimuCoin]]s during a paid event. Typically limited to one per character.

===Quest Prize===
The '''quest''' parameter of the template indicates if an item was released as part of participation in and completion of a quest, ex. [[Ghezyte quest item]]s. This parameter should indicate the name of the quest, but omit the word "quest" as the template populates that automatically. Links are not required to be enter as the template handles that itself.

===Features Altered===
The '''features''' parameter of the template indicates which features a feature altering script will temporarily alter. This should be used if the type indicates it is a feature altering script. This is not the same as a glamour, and should not be use for that. In both the form and the template, this would be entered as "''feature1''", "''feature2''", or if multiple, "''feature1,feature2...''", specifically with a comma and no spaces to separate them.

* [[Height]]: Rarely, a temporary feature altering item may adjust a character's height.
* [[Body]]: At this time, body types cannot be temporarily altered, however it is listed for the sake of future use, in case one does.
* [[Eyes]]: This is used to indicate if a temporary feature altering item may alter a character's eye characteristic or eye color, ex. [[Ferocious Eyes mask]].
* [[Complexion]]: This is used to indicate if a temporary feature altering item may alter a character's complexion (skin) field.
* [[Hair]]: This is used to indicate if a temporary feature altering item may alter a character's hair style, hair texture, hair color, or hair quirk.
* [[Face]]: This is used to indicate if a temporary feature altering item may alter a character's face field.
* [[Nose]]: This is used to indicate if a temporary feature altering item may alter a character's nose field.
* [[Distinguishing mark]]: This is used to indicate if a temporary feature altering item may alter a character's distinguishing mark field.
* [[Unique]]: This is used to indicate if a temporary feature altering item may alter a character's unique feature field.
* [[Wings]]: This is used to indicate if a temporary feature altering item may alter an [[aelotoi]]'s wing characteristic or wing quirk, ex. [[Aelotoi Wing Jewels]].

===Additional Information Summary===
The '''addinfo''' parameter of the template is used to give a quick summary of information that is not covered by the autogenerated introduction paragraph. There is a character limit of 200, with spaces included. Any more than that should be indicated in the [[#Additional Information|Additional Information]] section.

===Script Restrictions===
The '''restrictions''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if there are specific restrictions on an item script, such as alteration restrictions, etc. The restrictions themselves should be indicated in the [[#Restrictions|Restrictions]] section.

===Loresong===
The '''loresong''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if an item script has a loresong associated with it. The loresong itself should be indicated in the [[#Loresong|Loresong]] section.

===[[Permifier]] Eligible===
The '''perfmifiercost''' parameter of the template is used to indicate if an item script is eligible to be permified. The cost for permification should be entered here.

==Exceptions==
While the above guide outlines how to handle the majority of item script pages, there are times when exceptions must be made due to how certain items behave. For example, certain cosmetics ([[Dapper Hair and Beard Pomade Jar]], [[Lip Gloss by Naidem]], etc.) have essentially two parts: a container and the substance inside the container. In a standard setup, these would be set up on separate pages, however one cannot get the cosmetic separately from the container for use. In this situation, it is better to keep the container as the article name, but include the analyze, usage, and effects of the cosmetic along with it.

Another example would be items that merge together in some form for use, such as the [[Whax doll parts and assembly|Whax doll parts]]. The base for this is a torso which can have additional body parts added to it. Once combined, they create an assembled doll. Once glued, those parts are no longer able to be separated out. It is, at that point, a functionally "tiered" item without being directly tiered. The analyzes for each stage mirror each other with minor differences. Once an infused core is added, however, it changes the functionality entirely and becomes a completely different item ([[Whax doll]]).

If there is uncertainty as to whether certain items should be separated and utilize [[#Script Family Pages|script families]], feel free to reach out to a moderator using the TALK pages or ask in the [https://ptb.discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/1061330227843833926 Discord wiki channel] for clarification.

==Additional Information==
===Script Family Pages===
'''Script family pages''', also known as '''landing pages''' are simple pages that should be created when there are a group of scripts that fall under the script family page property. Examples of this include: [[Ghule items]], [[Valence armament]]s, and [[Mount]]s. These pages should not utilize the form or the template for creation as they are essentially focused list pages only.

The page should contain some general information about the script family, and a list of links to the applicable scripts. This can be accomplished with either a query table or by creating a manual table.

====Semantic Query Table====
The semantic query is the preferred method for creating a tabled list of scripts pertaining to a script family, however this should only be used if information is minimal and page properties can be primarily utilized. This method does not allow for table entry beyond what is called from the query and relies solely on page properties. For an example of a simple script family page and semantic query list, please see [[Ghule items]].

====Manual Creation Table====
Due to the type or amount of information relating to certain item scripts, a semantic query table will not be the best approach for script family page creation. In these situations, a table should be manually created and the pertinent information entered.

For example, the [[mount]]s landing page lists mount type, summoning item, which nouns are associated with which tier, and when each type was originally released. Because the table consists of information that cannot be handled with page properties, it was manually created and maintained with each release.

===Item Costs in Articles===
Please do not add unlock costs or item costs to the individual item script pages as these costs vary between festivals, events, and shops. When these costs are added to the item page and the costs change or vary, it is unlikely they will be updated due to the way festival, event, and shop information is added to the wiki. It is rare for editors to be able to or have the time to track down every place that someone has put the now erroneous information, leaving this incorrect information all over the wiki with only the shop page having the correct information. This leads to readers who are confused by the conflicting information and aren't sure which information is most up-to-date. Instead, provide a link to the relevant shops in the Additional Information section under a third-level section header labeled Availability.

===Template Copy/Paste Code===

Whax doll parts and assembly

|restrictions=Yes
}}
==Analyze==
Doll parts, assembled (unglued), and glued dolls share the same [[Verb:ANALYZE|{{boldmono|ANALYZE}}]] information, with the only difference specifying the item type at the top (ex. torso, jointed wooden doll, etc.).
<pre{{log2}}>You analyze the wooden doll and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:

This is the torso section of a doll.

Usage: (glued doll) DANCE, GROWL, KISS, LOOK, POKE, TURN. You can also accessorize your doll with pieces found within Delirium Manor. Hold an accessory in your left hand and a glued doll in your right, and PUSH <accessory>. Accessory pieces cannot be removed, but they can be overwritten.
Usage: (unglued doll with 6 body parts) DANCE, GROWL, KISS, LOOK, POKE, PULL, and TURN.
Usage: (unfinished doll) DROP (piece ON torso), LOOK, PULL, and TURN

You get no sense of whether or not the doll may be further lightened.</pre>

; Unglued Doll
<pre{{log2}}>This is an unfinished doll. You can TURN the doll to select a piece, and PULL the doll to remove it. You can glue your doll together if you have a bottle of blue ooze, but this will seal all the separate pieces together. LOOK to see what is attached to the doll.</pre>

; Glued Doll
<pre{{log2}}>This is a jointed wooden doll. It has been glued together, evidenced by the lightly blue-tinged substance filling the joint spaces.</pre>

==Usage Information==
===Doll Parts/ Unfinished Doll===
There are six total parts required to assemble a Whax doll:
* a plain doll torso
* a wooden doll left arm
* a wooden doll right arm
* a wooden doll left leg
* a wooden doll right leg
* a wooden doll head

To assemble a doll, one must {{boldmono|DROP}} one of the doll parts onto the doll torso which will transition it into an "unfinished doll". {{boldmono|PULLing}} all the parts from an unfinished doll will transition it back to "a plain doll torso".

{{VerbTableStart |header1= Verb |header2= Modifier }}
{{VerbTableEntry|modifier1= Drop/ Put |modifier2= (Part) on Torso/ Doll |1Pview= Grasping the torso firmly, you shove a wooden doll right arm into its proper place. |3Pview= }}
! scope="rowgroup" role="rowheader" rowspan=3 | Turn || Torso
| You turn the doll torso over in your hand a few times and scrutinize its structure with a keen eye. Nothing appears to be attached to the torso. || {{addmetext}}
|-
! rowspan=2 | Unfinished doll
| You turn an unfinished doll over in your hand a few times and scrutinize its structure with a keen eye.

You are currently focused on the doll's right arm piece. '''{{blue|Turn the doll again within 15 seconds to select the next piece or PULL the doll to remove it.}}'''
| {{addmetext}}
|-
| You turn an unfinished doll over in your hand a few times and scrutinize its structure with a keen eye.

As the right arm is the only piece attached to the doll, turning it again won't do much, but you can PULL the doll to remove the right arm.
| {{addmetext}}
|-
! scope="row" role="rowheader" | PULL || N/A
| You yank forcefully on a wooden doll right arm, freeing it from the doll with a loud *POP*! || {{addmetext}}
|}

===Assembled Doll===
An assembled doll consists of a head, torso, right and left arms, and right and left legs, and appears as "an unfinished doll". While assembled and before gluing it, the doll's pieces can be manipulated, removing and adding different parts if desired. Once glue has been applied, the doll becomes a [[#jointed wooden doll|glued doll]]. At this point in the assembly process, the individual parts may still be removed with {{boldmono|PULL}}. However, an unfinished doll offers additional verb interactions.

{{VerbTableStart |header1= Verb |header2= }}
{{VerbTableEntry|modifier1= Dance |modifier2= |1Pview= You hold your unfinished doll out in front of you and tilt it back and forth, causing its arms and legs to flop wildly. Look! It's dancing! |3Pview= XXX holds her unfinished doll out in front of her and tilts it back and forth, causing its arms and legs to flop wildly. Look! It's dancing! }}
{{VerbTableEntry|modifier1= Growl |modifier2= |1Pview= You curl your upper lip and growl menacingly at your unfinished doll. It seems unimpressed. |3Pview= XXX curls her upper lip and growls menacingly at her unfinished doll. }}
{{VerbTableEntry|modifier1= Kiss |modifier2= |1Pview= Holding the doll firmly, you draw it slowly to your lips and kiss the doll gently on its cheek. Aww! |3Pview= Holding it firmly, XXX draws her doll slowly to her lips and kisses it gently on its cheek. Aww! }}
{{VerbTableEntry|modifier1= Poke |modifier2= |1Pview= You poke your finger into the doll's empty chest cavity and wiggle it around. Yep, it's definitely empty! |3Pview= XXX pokes her finger into her doll's empty chest cavity and wiggles it around. }}
{{Table end}}

===Glued Doll===
Once [[Whax doll glue|glue]] has been applied to an [[#Assembled Doll|assembled doll]], all of its parts are permanently attached to it and it becomes "a jointed wooden doll". A glued doll is capable of having [[Whax doll accessory|Whax doll features and clothing]] added to it. {{boldmono|TURN}} usage transitions to a roleplay interaction.

{{VerbTableStart |header1= Verb |header2= }}
! scope="row" role="rowheader" | TURN
| You turn the wooden doll over in your hand, and its arms and legs flop noisily against your palm.<br>You turn the wooden doll over in your hand a few times and scrutinize its structure with a keen eye. Nothing appears to be attached to the doll. || XXX turns her wooden doll over in her hand, and its arms and legs flop noisily against her palm.<br>XXX turns her wooden doll over in her hand a few times, studying it intently.
{{Table end}}

==Additional Information==
===Assembling a Doll===
Individual [[#Doll Part/ Unfinished Doll|parts]] must be added to a torso to assemble a doll. A torso can support one head, a right and left arm, and a right and left leg. Once [[#Assembled Doll|assembled]], [[Whax doll glue|glue]] can be added to the doll, turning it [[#Glued Doll|into a state]] that can wear [[Whax doll accessories]], which include basic features, clothing, and held items. Applying glue to a doll is irreversible.

To create a completed [[Whax doll]], a glued doll must have an infused [[Whax doll core|core]] placed inside its chest cavity. Cores are infused by charging them with a wandering NPC inside of Delirium Manor. In order to successfully insert a core into a doll, you must do it while standing inside the Delirium Manor secret hideout's private vault. Otherwise, the following error occurs:

<pre{{log2}}>>infuse core
This delicate procedure can only be done within the secret hideout's private vault.</pre>

Adding a core to a doll is irreversible. The doll will permanently look like the NPC that was used to charge the infused core. Make sure that you have charged it with the NPC you want before adding the core to the doll.

===Restrictions===
* It cannot be altered by a mat all.
* Customizations, such as features, clothing, and accessories, are handled with [[Whax doll accessories]] only.
* The final appearance of the doll is determined by the [[Whax doll core|membranous grey core]] when inserted into it.

===Look/Show===
; Torso
The only body part that has a {{boldmono|LOOK}} to it is the torso.
<pre{{log2}}>This elongated, but shapely hunk of wood, appears to be the torso section of a doll.</pre>

; Assembled/ Unglued
<pre{{log2}}>You see an unfinished doll.

Attached to the doll you see: a head, a right arm, a left arm, a right leg, and a left leg.
There is no core inside the chest cavity.</pre>

; Glued/ Jointed Wooden Doll
<pre{{log2}}>You see a jointed wooden doll that has been glued together. It has no remarkable features and is wearing nothing of note.

There is no core inside the chest cavity.</pre>

; Glued Doll with Accessory Added
<pre{{log2}}>You see a jointed wooden doll that has been glued together. The doll is completely bald and has two empty sockets for eyes. It has an empty hole where its nose should be. It is wearing a thin faenor anklet. It is holding nothing in its right hand and nothing in its left hand.

There is no core inside the chest cavity.</pre>

PERM-ifier

2026-09-20T17:29:30Z

GS4-XERAPHINA: /* Applicable Items */

{{work-in-progress}}
The '''PERM-ifier''' allows for items with finite uses to be made permanent. It is an automated machine to make limited use items permanent and only accepts event [[currency]] as payment, with the type of currency depending on the event. It originally debuted at [[Ebon Gate]] in 2016 and has appeared at Ebon Gate each year since. At Ebon Gate's current [[Evermore Hollow]] venue, it is '''an enruned shadowglass obelisk''' located inside of the [[EHShop:Antiquarian Manor|Antiquarian Manor, Garden]] (8084692) and charges in [[soul shard]]s.

The PERM-ifier's debut at Ebon Gate 2016 was within [[Feywrot Mire]]'s Halfway Midway shop. In 2017 at [[Caligos Isle]], there were two obelisks, with each one taking a different type of currency ([[general ticket]]s and [[Ebon Gate seashell]]s); the prices for each were the same.

A PERM-ifier can be found at [[Rumor Woods]] at Diminishing Demises, where it charges in [[raikhen]].

To use the PERM-ifier, hold an applicable item in your right hand and {{boldmono|TOUCH}} the obelisk. The first touch will tell you the price, the second touch will deduct {{boldmono|[[REDEEM]]ed}} tickets from your total.

Tufted and manicured blue-green grasses form a small lawn around the tiles before giving way to large and small urns filled with flowering bushes and ornamental shrubs. Smooth marble benches are arranged at various points throughout the small garden, each flanked by pebble-filled glossy ebonwood planters housing a variety of orchids.

==Analyze==
===Square Mold (Tier 1)===
Square molds of clay are more common and can create a doll-sized version of an item made of more common [[material]]s.
<pre{{log2}}>You analyze your square mold and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This mold will create a miniature (non-scripted, if applicable) duplicate of a held item. If the item is not a wearable item, (ie: a weapon or some other held item) then it will be created as an item for the left/right hand. TURN the copied item to switch it between hands.

Some items may be crafted from materials too rare to be copied by the mold. Front-worn items and undershirts are ineligible for copying.

Miniature duplicates created by the mold are *only* usable on Delirium Manor dolls. After you create a miniature replica, LOOK at the item to see what it will look like when added to your doll.

You get no sense of whether or not the mold may be further lightened.</pre>

===Rectangular Mold (Tier 2)===
Rectangular molds of clay are a more advanced form of the square mold and can be used to copy any material.
<pre{{log2}}>You analyze your rectangular mold and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This mold will create a miniature (non-scripted, if applicable) duplicate of a held item. If the item is not a wearable item, (ie: a weapon or some other held item) then it will be created as an item for the left/right hand. TURN the copied item to switch it between hands.

All materials are eligible for copying with this mold. (Tier 2) Front-worn items and undershirts are ineligible for copying.

Miniature duplicates created by the mold are *only* usable on Delirium Manor dolls. After you create a miniature replica, LOOK at the item to see what it will look like when added to your doll. One your duplicate is created, it will be called a "doll-sized whatever", but once the accessory is attached to your doll, it will have the full description of the item you copied.

To use a rectangular mold of clay, hold the item to be copied in your left hand and the mold in your right hand, and PUSH MOLD.

You get no sense of whether or not the mold may be further lightened.</pre>

==Additional Information==
As [[Whax doll accessory|Whax doll accessories]] cannot be [[alter]]ed at all, these molds allow for more customized items. GM Haliste created a '''square mold of clay''' and a '''rectangular mold of clay''' that can be {{boldmono|PUSHed}} with a target item in hand to create a copy of the desired item to use as a Whax doll accessory.

Square molds of clay are more common and can create a doll-sized version of an item made of more common materials. The Rectangular molds of clay are a more advanced form of the square mold and can be used to copy any material. Users of square molds cannot copy an item containing any material classified as [[Material rarity|rare]] or higher.

The duplicate item created from the clay will always be "a doll-sized <item>", but the original item's description is stored for the doll. This can be seen when {{boldmono|[[LOOK]]ing}} at the copied item. Once placed on a doll, "doll-sized" is dropped.

Whax doll accessory molds are '''single use''' and will be destroyed as part of the process of creating the resulting Whax doll accessory.

Whax doll items

2026-09-20T14:35:19Z

GS4-XERAPHINA:

Introduced in 2016 through [[Delirium Manor]], '''Whax dolls''' required characters to [[search]] within a dollhouse to find pieces to be combined. The doll itself consists of six parts, torso, right and left arms, right and left legs, and a head, and requires [[Whax doll glue|glue]] (a ''glass bottle of blue ooze'') to be considered fully [[Whax doll parts and assembly#Glued Doll|assembled and useable]]. To fully unlock the doll's abilities and turn it into a completed [[Whax doll]], a [[Whax doll core|core]] (a ''membranous grey core'') needs to be found and attuned to one of the many [[NPC]]s that wander the manor, along with a [[Whax doll key|key]] to turn to activate it. At the June 2017 [[Return to Delirium Manor]] event, the dolls were updated to allow for them to wear a variety of [[Whax doll accessories]], which included additional features such as eyes, ears, and nose, as well as worn or held items. Whax dolls were created by GM Haliste.

==Assembling a [[Whax doll]]==
Individual [[Whax doll parts and assembly|parts]] must be added to a torso to assemble a doll. A torso can support one head, a right and left arm, and a right and left leg. Once [[Whax doll parts and assembly#Assembled Doll|assembled]], [[Whax doll glue|glue]] can be added to the doll, turning it [[Whax doll parts and assembly#Glued Doll|into a state]] that can wear [[Whax doll accessory|Whax doll accessories]], which include basic features, clothing, and held items. Applying glue to a doll is irreversible.

To create a [[Whax doll|Completed Whax doll]], a glued doll must have an infused [[Whax doll core|core]] placed inside its chest cavity. Cores are infused by charging them with a wandering NPC inside of Delirium Manor. In order to successfully insert a core into a doll, you must do it while standing inside the Delirium Manor secret hideout's private vault. Otherwise, the following error occurs:
<pre{{log2}}>>infuse core
This delicate procedure can only be done within the secret hideout's private vault.</pre>

Adding a core to a doll is irreversible. The doll will permanently look like the NPC that was used to charge the infused core. Make sure that you have charged it with the NPC you want before adding the core to the doll.
