Hi! can't understand this hint at all...

As discussed in the comments from the Caravan page (more exactly from this comment downwards), you can update the weather status (black cloud with lightnings) in some unexpected ways. Some cities can be open via:

• Solving the daily quests mentioned by @Maxxkazimieszko (not sure if it's "Puzzle of the Day" or "Wanted" or both).

• Watching an ad in Bourse mentioned by @Alyonushka .

The weather status usually updates every time the caravan returns and every Shop/Bourse cycle (05:00 and 17:00 local time), but this seems to not be true for all cases. The daily quests reset every 05:00 local time, so there might be some loose connection there.

I switch playing between my phone (info below) and tablet a lot. I noticed that there is a problem with sync on anything related to time.

For example:

I am on the phone, start building something lets say takes 5 hrs. Perform a sync on the phone.

Then 10 minutes later go to the tablet, perform a sync. Will notice the tablet will be 10 minutes behind the phone on the build item.

The only way to minimize the issue is to sync both devices one after another quickly.

It would be great if the sync also works correctly for the timed items.

(note: I had reported this via email, but no one replied... So I am posting here).

It would be good to have a place for in-game bugs reporting, because this wiki has great community of advanced players.

I wonder if it's better to be a page or discussion like this.

Alartor has noticed that the cycles for Bourse, Shop and daily quests are not based on UTC, but on local time. Does everyone's Shop and Bourse cycle start at 05:00 and 17:00 local time (or 06:00 and 18:00 without Daylight Saving Time - Summer Time)?

I live in UTC+1 and the Shop and Bourse cycles start at 05:00 and 17:00 this time of the year (Winter Time).

Hi,

I have noticed that a different background is used to highlight certain rows in tables. When using the Dark Theme on the desktop version of the wiki, this causes text to be difficult to read.

I am not sure about the mobile version, I had never used it and, after a bit of searching, haven't found a Dark theme there (unless I switch to Full mode, then it's exactly the same as desktop version, which I must say seems easy to navigate on the phone too; just a bit more of scrolling horizontally and vertically needed, of course).

So, I was wondering if it would be interesting to also set explicitly the text color when setting the background color, to ensure text can be easily read also on Dark theme.

And as they say, "pics or it didn't happen"... xDD

Thanks!

There is something that I don't understand.

I have a level 2 warehouse. I can store 184 woods, stones or wooden beans

If I want more storage I need to have a level 3 guild but for that I need 300 wooden beans. The maximum allowed is 184.

Can someone explain me that?

I am level 17

We might need to update "Items to sell" on Caravan page for most cities.

I assume you can sell every item in every city unless the city also sells that item (exception is Delhi). Can someone check if you can sell Olive oil, Glass and Honey in other cities than Delhi, please?

I have removed the old TOC (table of contents), which is automatically generated and added my own TOC. The TOC is supposed to represent how items are displayed in the app. By clicking an image of an item you are taken on the section of that item. Fortunately I was able to keep the TOC on the side with some CSS (for desktop and mobile). Unfortunately the method I used to create this kind of TOC only works on desktop (I used a gallery tag). I don't think I can make a TOC like that with any other method for mobile, because Fandom removes all CSS you write on mobile and puts their own.

What do you think: new or old TOC?

I have made another account (this one), which I intend to use to make a lot of similar/same edits on multiple pages. Making a bot to automate the manual and tedious edits is a common practice on Fandom and Wikipedia. The bot runs on AWB (Auto Wiki Browser), which is a third party software, which allows to find and replace words across all pages (and that very fast). It can do more, but I haven't explored it that much yet. Any account can be botted, but they are usually separate.

I intend to use it to replace images of items with the new template I have made.

Short version:

Items page updated.

How do you use the Items page (do you look at just one item or do you look at many items)?

Can you easily find what you were looking for on this page?

Long version:

Items page is up to date (finally). I have forgotten to update it simultaneously with the 15.0 patch, so I had to go through all pages (in case I have forgotten something before the 15.0; which I did). Hopefully when new information is added I won't forget to update it again. xD

I have removed "This item can't be traded in Bourse." and if the item can be traded in Bourse added them to "acquire" or "use" section.

Page load time and navigation

Desktop has a table of contents (TOC) on the page itself, but mobile has their TOC on the right side and it moves with the page when you scroll the page. Mobile TOC doesn't show immediately only when you scroll a little down. That's why I don't know if people even know it exists and how to use it.

Because the page is so long it takes longer (two times from what I tested) to load. My internet is pretty good I think and the page loads almost immediately. Some may not have great internet and might not like waiting just to see one item.

The solution

The solution would be splitting the page into 50+ pages (every item own page). I was thinking not to do this at first because I thought users of this wiki would like to have every item on one page so they can compare them? But I actually don't know how users interact with the page. I think that splitting the page and linking every time an item is mentioned on the page to that item's page (I have actually done this already). I was thinking that if we split the page it would have one page called "Items" (with some information on storage and warehouse) and that page would have a TOC like structure (similar to Navigation page) that would link to every item.

Questions: How do you use the page and do you think that splitting the page would be a good idea? Can you easily find what you were looking for on this page?

How to best provide the information in search to everyone...

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but there are japanese characters on some buildings. I have used a cam translator to translate them:

月道 = moon road (month road) on Ship lvl. 4

建 = ken (something with build, construct, establish) on empty space (building lvl. 0)

ギルド = guild on Guild

店 = shop on Shop

温泉 = onsen on Onsen

寿司 屋台 = sushi (space) food stall on Food Stall

This "moon road" on Ship lvl. 4 doesn't really click with me. Individual characters are translated as "month" and "road", but that doesn't really make much sense as well.

There is also "J I t I" written on Food Stall lvl. 2, but I am not sure if that's even Japanese, because the translator doesn't want to translate it.

If anyone knows Japanese or knows someone who does, I'd be really interested in knowing what "moon road" and "jiti" means.

Short version:

I have combined all the templates of items into just one template.

Pros:

• Easier maintenance.

Cons:

• A little more to write on the page.

old = {{coin}}
new = {{i|coin}}
optional = {{i|coin|50}}

The "i" (stands for "items") is the name of the template and can be capitalized. The "coin" the name of the item (names are listed here) and can't be capitalized. The "50" is the size of the image (50px = 50 pixels wide) and is an optional parameter. You can read more about the template in the documentation.

Long version:

A few days ago I have created 50+ templates for images of items (see this post). When I have tested them on the page in a table I have realized that I have made a mistake and had to correct all 50+ templates. I should have seen it coming that copy-pasting before properly testing them would lead to an error. So I have decided to figure out how to combine all templates into just one page, which will be easier to maintain and to add new items in. I have searched around Fandom to find how to do so and I have found this special designed programming language for making advanced templates, called Lua. I think it's quite similar to Python (in syntax and that it's dynamically typed). I had to ask some smart people on some basics, but I got it working. They have also told me I could have used a "switch" in the template. I wanted to learn Lua instead, because it can do everything templates can and much more. Lua is aimed more at making complicated code.

The old and the new template on pages:

old = {{coin}}
new = {{i|coin}}
optional = {{i|coin|50}}

When the template gets called, you have to specify which template to call, so that's why there is now an "i". The "i" is the name of the template and it's not case sensitive, because it's the first letter. The template accepts two variables, which are separated by the vertical bar ("|"): name_of_the_item ("coin") and an optional variable size ("40"). The variables go into the template and the template then calls the module (Lua) which performs the logic (It's actually just a big table with an if statement.). Of course this template also links the image to page Items section name_of_the_item. You can read more about the template (and module) in the documentation.

Level 3 "expedition successfully completed"

No artifact, no Treasure, minor Wood reward... I would not call this "success"

Should be "expedition was a rather mediocre success" :P

PS. Good thing I got greater Stone reward...

I have recently discovered templates, so I thought of where could they be used on our wiki. In a lot of the tables on our wiki, which include images of items, we mostly use the same format:

[[File:Coin.png|40px]]

All of this text can be now replaced with:

{{coin}}

But what is even better is that it also link the image to the page Items > Coin, so it replaces this text:

[[File:Coin.png|40px|link=Items#Coin]]

I have decided to add a link, because I think it would be useful. A user would come to a page and saw that Alchemist's Hut lvl. 2 requires Chemicals. So they would click on the image and be taken to the page about Chemicals and where to get them.

I have made this kind of template for all items. For more information and a list of all names of templates (longer names of items were shortened) see this documentation.

Although replacing all instances of images of items on all pages might take some time...

PS: You can also define the size of the image by typing:

{{coin|px=60}}

Size of the Coin image will be 60 pixels wide and 60 pixels high (60x60px).

There was a post on VK from someone who has analyzed what is more profitable: throwing items into the Cauldron or buying them in Shop, crafting them and then throwing into the Cauldron (if I understood correctly). He only posted the results. I have translated (that means copying into Google translate) the table:

From the comment section I understood that if you have a set amount of Coins it is more profitable to buy Iron sand and Wood, craft Shurikens and throw them into the Cauldron, than to just throw Wood and Iron sand directly into the Cauldron, but the resources will be random.

I don't quite know what numbers in columns 'Value' and 'Profit' mean.

I have always wondered how close I am to completing a mosaic. So I've made a calculator on Mosaic page. You just enter the number displayed in 'Other' tab beside 'Mosaic:' (that's the number of mosaic fragments collected). I could reuse most of the code from the levelling calculator, so that's nice. If you have any other ideas or suggestions please let me know.
