I'd love to help any way I can. I've learned much from people citing references over at the forums which may not exactly be in the wiki and have thought about then editing the wiki pages to update with what I've seen/found/pointed to.

I call the empire!

...Already throwing together a mess of all the 100% confirmed lore on Garlemald~

Edit: Started working on it.

RE: RPC Lore Hunting Team - Mycroft - 07-22-2013

I suppose, even if we don't set it up like you suggested Xeon, the least we can do for the sake of organisation, is having a group PM, or a Skype conversation going.

Communication is essential for a project like this.

Hey Hey Hey! 

Sorry for the delay in getting this started! I've been a bit busy with other things.

I'll be reformatting my initial post here soon as information begins to be linked in the comments (I'll be adding my stuff as well soon enough). 

Here's how things will work:

When posting a comment with lore bits and details, please put the details in a spoiler tag. Because we can only take confirmed lore, we need to be able to provide citation and proof. To this end, please provide link to the page with the details, an image, or a video. Good resources for lore are the lodestone, the official FFXIV page, Gamerescapes, and Youtube videos of quests and NPC text. 

As details get posted, I'll organize them in the first comment with links to the comment/lore details in question. For those who are choosing to focus on specific lore details, please feel free to begin updating the RPC wiki with the found info and please be sure to also include the proper notes, references, and external links at the bottom of the wiki page.

Lastly, if you can't verify the lore in question, do not post it here until you do. If you wish to discuss the validity of any details, create a new post for it. Let's try not to needlessly clutter this thread Smile


RE: RPC Lore Hunting Team - FreelanceWizard - 07-23-2013

Hopefully we can get Extension:Cite installed on the wiki to help with this. It makes adding references a lot easier.

I'll start working on the miqo'te stuff soon. I was thinking of taking what's already on Category:Miqo'te and splitting it to a new Miqo'te (lore) page, then adding a disambiguation template and using it to link the Category page and the lore page together. (So, just like on Wikipedia, when you go to Category:Miqo'te, it says "This page is about miqo'te player characters. For information on miqo'te lore, see Miqo'te (lore)".)

Then my plan is to summarize the lore (to avoid copyvio) and use cite tags (if available) or internal links (if not) to reference the source material being summarized.

EDIT: The reason I'm posting my strategy here is because I think the wiki editors on team should have a consistent approach to what they do so the wiki looks all nice and professional. Smile


RE: RPC Lore Hunting Team - Mycroft - 07-23-2013

Currently working on the class guilds lore, starting with the 1.0 guild quests.

If anyone has information on the Elementals of the Twelveswood, please do tell me, as I can't find that much on them in my notes, and they're mentioned in all of the Gridanian guild quests.

Garlean Lore - Names of the Tribuni

RE: RPC Lore Hunting Team - Merri - 07-24-2013

Pure speculation at this point so I figure it won't be mentioned anywhere, buuut seems like thus far we've got a fairly decent idea of Garlean surname prefixes.

Probably won't know for certain until Fern finally replies to my Garlean naming conventions thread like he said he would~


RE: RPC Lore Hunting Team - Mtoto Wamoto - 07-24-2013

Currently working on gathering details regarding Coerthas and Ishgard. Here's a snippet from my that which I thought you all might find interesting.

RE: RPC Lore Hunting Team - FreelanceWizard - 07-24-2013

Well... I'm just going to dump lore refs here for now, because there's all this "don't touch these pages" and "don't edit this" text running around on the wiki, and I'd rather not get into a revert war. Sad I did add TemplateBig Grinisamb should we come to a consensus on how we should handle lore pages for things that already have categories on the wiki.

I'll continue to add to this post as I pull more links in and summarize.

Finally found this online somewhere. Thank the Twelve. I had forgotten to copy it when beta was up. Anyways, all the Duty Finder quest flavor text that was in beta phase 3.

RE: RPC Lore Hunting Team - LeCard - 07-25-2013

I won't be much help before phase 4(unless we get some bonus info from the devs), but as soon as they launch Arcanist I will gladly throw in all the Lore i can gather for this class. My character is based almost purely in being an arcanist, so i will be searching for any Lore i can find about this class.


RE: RPC Lore Hunting Team - Myxie Tryxle - 07-25-2013

It would be nice if we could also have a section on the wiki for guides. I've gotten a lot of good feedback from people on my own guide for crafting/gathering equipment, as has Akki-Chan for Crafting 101, but they keep drifting off the first page of the forum, making the information less accessible. I've never coded a wiki before, so not sure how much effort that would require.
