Don't forget commonly sold makeup colors too, for those attempting to color coordinate an overall fashion look, such as colors from [[Shear Delight]]. Don't forget custom colors for sheath making, fletching, cobbling, and other guild or artisan skills. Perhaps include the natural color of colored pelts if there are any natural-occurring odd/unusual colors. This is low priority for me, but it eats at me every time I must go search 100 gswiki articles to prove to myself that a color exists or doesn't exist. Need to research, is there an existing guide made by GM's which lists the acceptable alteration colors in Elanthia? Also may want to create a [[Materials guide]] which would be relatively simple to create alongside the Colors guide. It would include materials for forging, fletching, sheath making, and materials that are custom-orderable from various shops like Berrytoe's Bare Essentials in Icemule or the Landing's General Store.
* [[Cosmetics]] - this page is sad and needs to be made more fantabulous. With the information I have gleaned from spa work and purchasing mass quantities of cosmetics, I may be able to work on this project. Low priority, but fun fun fun.

Things You Find in a Locker

This began as a personal list of potions, tinctures, and elixirs... an alphabetic reference in which to look up random items found at a playershop, bench, or in my locker. It changed into "Things You Find in a Locker" shortly thereafter, when I ran across a locker full of magical potions and the occasional perfume or nailpolish, all in various bottles, flasks, vials, phials, etc. I have no plans to include clothing, nor weapons/armor, in this list. This list would be more for things of a chemical/liquid or magic item nature. If such a list already exists, my goal is to find it and offer my regular help if it is needed, and if there is not one, then make one that will be publicly available by some means.

This list would possibly include (although I'm currently still having internal debate about all of these):

  • Alchemy: elixirs, oils, potions, products, etc
  • Herbs: tinctures, potions, elixirs, etc
  • Cosmetics: vials, phials, pots, jars, bottles, oils, etc
  • Perfumes: flacons, flasks, flaskets, ampoules, ampules, bottles, etc
  • Perfume Holders: unaltered OTS jewelry which holds perfume
  • Storage: jars, bottles, etc (the kind for gems and alchemy ingredients)
  • Magic Items: heavy quartz orb, small statue, golden wand, small totem head, etc
  • Disguise Elixir Items: jewelry items which OTS contained elixirs to change your race/gender
  • Feature Altering Items
  • Simucoin Items

I would love some input as to:

  • is there already a list like this? (if so, this ends here - please let me know)
  • if not, can a list like this fit into the purpose of gswiki at all? (if not, this ends here - please let me know)
  • if so, then have people tried this before and failed, and why
  • how to make this list relatively low maintenance but helpful
  • which categories of items would be most helpful to the most people
  • are there other relevant pages you know of besides: Potion, Tincture, Category:Wizard Potions
  • is it a better idea for me to research each item and create pages for each one, so they would be searchable on gswiki individually?

Here is an example of a very short list I made (I did not have time to wikify this yet so notably the spell name/number will be listed wrong for the moment):

I think something like this could be immensely helpful to GSIV players, even to me after 20+ years of playing, but especially to newer players. Making it in a way that is acceptable, useful, and maintainable, is likely going to be a challenge. I like challenges. Looking forward to some feedback from others. -Soliere FIRENSIA (talk) 18:06, 16 October 2019 (CDT)
