Talk:Hunter Items Index

Critical items should be in italics

The standard throughout this wiki seems to be

• the name of an item that results from a recipe appears in normal font
• the name of an item that results from critical success of a recipe appears in italics

Examples of this standard abound; here's one: Jeweller Expert Recipe Index.

The name of every tome on this Hunter Items Index should be changed to italics. Relatedly, the first column of the bluish-grey heading bars should include "Critical Success". 24hourstopickaname (talk) 05:19, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

I cannot see this standard anywhere. It IS standard in some recipe lists, but not in any item index i found. --QNo (talk) 06:46, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Here's the problem...I came to this page to see which items are available for my Hunter character. At level 20, for example, there are these two items:

• Minor Book of the Whisper-draw
• Minor Tome of the Whisper-draw

Can you tell the quantitative difference by looking at the name? No. By looking at the icon? No.

Now, look at the flyover (i.e. tooltip) for each item. Can you determine the quantitative difference? Not with the same vague description on each item: "Slightly reduces". The only apparent difference is "Item level" and "Worth", which tells us nothing about item strength.

My next step was to google the items...where I did find the difference. That's an outrage. I should not need to leave the page to find such fundamental information as the quantitative difference between two otherwise similar items.

I've looked at many recipe lists, as you wrote ("some", really only "some"?), while I've leveled my three characters in crafting. The difference between a basic item and its critical success item is readily apparent from their names. The standard is normal font for basic items and italics font for critical success items.
