help?
I can't find the answer to this ANYWHERE, so please help! D:

What's the best prefix for a handgun? (It's not on the Reforging page)

(sorry if this is a useless post)

T.T.T / Dan S. (talk) 17:02, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * The best prefix for ranged weapons is Unreal. Only a few ranged weapons can't get that prefix. Handgun, fortunately, can. However, I would advice for you to wait until you have upgraded it to Phoenix Blaster before attempting to reforge it to Unreal to save coin and effort.

Do you have any talk page archives?
While scrolling through your talk page this evening (trying to familiarize myself) I noted that you have 47, now 48, conversations on it, making it a little hard to navigate. I couldn't find any talk page archives, so... do you keep them?

Silver  (talk) 02:47, March 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * Path does indeed have several archives. (Go to the top of this page for all the individual links.) I'm assuming that he just hasn't had the time as of late to archive this version of his talk page.

 * Hey there Silver, as mcSwaggins has pointed out, they're within the second header on this page. I usually wait until the page size reaches between 40,000-50,000 characters before I archive it, and it had just reached ~55,000, a little slack on my part. This has now been rectified, however.

Apologies
Sorry for putting the wrong info on the Sniper Rifle down. I was using the Reforging page for that info, which someone obviously screwed with. I haven't aquired the item yet, so I guess I shouldn't have posted it based solely on that. Will do more extensive research in the future. I personally hate giving the wrong info on something. Knowledge is precious to me, so it bewilders me as to why people like to troll and change stuff just to confuse the people seeking knowledge.


 * (Kinda jumping in here for Path; I hope he doesn't mind.)


 * Hey there, Skarin. ^_^)/


 * I wouldn't worry *too* much about it; everyone makes mistakes! It's really good to see people like you who are dedicated to the addition of correct, factual information to the articles. We need more users like you around here. :)


 * Happy editing!

 * No problem there mcSwaggins, you've resolved the issue before I'd even seen it! No, we will not punish/judge you for entering misinformation (keep in mind, us admins and bureaucrats are just users with a few more rights on this particular wiki) in articles when done with good intent, only on the odd occasion where it is repeatedly done with the intent to mess with articles. If you're looking for any hints, needing any help or want to ask any questions, feel free to ask any of the Admins or Bureaucrats, and even some of the Rollback, Forum moderator or Chatmod positions as well, depending on who's online. Thanks for your concern though. :) (And thanks again TmcSw! ^_^)

re: hallowed/chlorophyte armors
I don't have def boosters
 * You definitely have something that is affecting the defense display somehow. Here's my proof, may I see yours?

Oh I'm on mobile I figured pc and mobile were the same

Music
Hey Path, how you doing these days? I think I recall you saying you were into electronic stuff, so I thought I'd share some from my favorite artist these past couple of years. Check out Teal Trim, Ladies Know, and Drum Babylon from here (free release); headphones required for the first one in particular. He experiments with his beats a lot, so his later releases sound a lot different.

Hello, I am on mobile and I am having troubles getting the Truffle NPC. All the requirements have been met but he still wont spawn. I have a pic if want to see it. Thanks!

Golden Bed Bug
Hi Path. I've noticed that some people are having trouble with setting their spawn-point at the Golden Bed. I haven't had any problem with this on PC. I would have added a "bugs" section, but I don't know if this bug is console or mobile related. I just wanted to give a heads-up so this can be looked into. Greetings, Desmond the Despot (homing pigeon) (Contributions) 19:15, April 20, 2015 (UTC)

Hooks' "bug"
Concerning your recent edit, isn't it about time we recognize it as a fun feature, rather than a bug? Even if it was originally an anomaly, it is one that the developers have no intention of fixing, considering how long it has remained in the game. Just me opinion. Freenight (talk) 15:36, May 11, 2015 (UTC)

I am sorry Pathogen I did not know everyone else could see my edits I thought it was for my personal use I am deeply sorry and I will fix it

Talking with
im not trying to be mean with comments the terra blade thing is just a thing in my opinion and as well as the platinum coins if im being mean to anyone I cant know unless they can reply back soon im sorry if im being mean I just want to talk like others on this wiki 00:38, June 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi there Thelegomannick, as long as you understand, that's ok. We just prefer an overall positive attitude to be assumed when interacting with other users on the wiki; whereas your comments were either leaning towards negative, or just did not contain any info that needed to be commented. An easy way to judge if your comment would sit in the "OK" category would be reading it back to yourself and imagining that the person you're writing it in response to is actually yourself (meaning the order is reversed), and seeing if it feels in any way negative when you imagine the comment you're writing being targeted at you. Thanks for your swift response though, and feel free to contact me with any more questions. :)


 * Hey Pathogen Ive been in chat recently and a lot of people were talking about wiki achievements and I haven't seen anyone talk about this before so I just decided to ask a bureaucrat if they could add it im not advertising a wiki but could you check out this page http://minecraft360.wikia.com/wiki/User:Thelegomannick just to give you an idea of it
 * Hello again, we (the administrative team on this wiki) have disabled achievements as many users were continually "farming edits" to increase their achievement progress (Such as removing information and re-inserting it with either no or minimal change). Thanks.

Hey I measured a night again while doing the pumkin moon it was literally 2 minutes! Also last time we talked my friend answered and he didn't tell the truth about somethings I play on a Kindle fire Hd and he plays on a iPhone 6. Also do pumpkin moon night become longer around halloween? My nights are very short and his are normal. Maybe you can find out what's going on.

About the Hero's Outfit correction
Sorry if I sound a bit rude, but I am pretty sure purple thread is made at an alchemy station. I play console version and the recipe for purple thread is 3 mushroom grass seeds at an alchemy station, not a loom. Bluedood128 (talk) 02:03, June 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * My mistake in not noticing it was referring to Purple Thread. Usually that kind of extra crafting info is not included in pages as it bloats the size and is too roundabout to keep in several places, rather than just the proper location.

My edit
How come it's wrong in boss monsters? No told me it was right when I changed NPCs to mobs. Just wondering. -Enderslayer197
 * Changing the "NPC" to "mob" wasn't a mistake, but removing nearly an entire page's worth of info certainly was. You can see what you did on your edit here. I didn't have the time to check what exactly you changed as I was seeking to restoring all the lost info. I've reedited that bit. Freenight (talk) 15:53, June 13, 2015 (UTC)

Question
Hello Path,

I have a question regarding the page footers. Specifically where it says, "Announcement: As of 1 July 2013, anonymous users will not be able to edit or comment on the Terraria Wiki due to a change in Wikia policy. Please remember to create an account and login to edit and comment – it only takes a moment. You must be 13 years or older to register." (An example can be seen on the Yellow Paint page).

I have been searching around on how to do this, but I have not been able to find any information. Would you be able to point me in the right direction? I've searching through extensions, different Media Wiki add-ons, wiki CSS, and I still can't seem to find how to put a message in that specific location. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

- Awesome  17:33, June 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey there, Awesome.


 * The page where you want to add your comment header will be this one: MediaWiki:Oasis-comments-header.


 * I imagine that, for your own wiki, it should be as simple as accessing that specific MediaWiki page and adding whatever you want to appear there to the page, then publishing it. It's been awhile since I've created something like this, though, so I might be wrong. :P


 * Correct me if I'm wrong, Path.


 * 20:17, June 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your help. That is what I was looking for.
 * - Awesome  03:19, June 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * Sweet as, thanks for covering that for me mcSwaggins! :)

Sorry
Hey Patho! Sorry about that! my little brother was on my account. Anyways... Hey!


 * I'm just going to leave this here. Might be wise to have a good look at it before you blame things on your little brother.


 * 20:34, June 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi. As mcSwaggins has said, the article linked should be read in depth before blame is placed again. All we can see is a Username and IP address, not who's using the computer linked to both. Thanks.

Orange Bloodroot
pathogen im sorry to ask you but are the orange bloodroots broken because I play the console 360 and well Its impossible to find them is their a pic of one on a players map
 * Hi Fppritp, after some further research it seems that the Orange Bloodroot is glitched on (at least) the Xbox 360 version, and does not spawn at all. I am unsure when this is going to be (if it hasn't already) fixed, but the only reliable way to tell in-game is to play the same world for extended periods of time with the right setup for Bloodroot growing underground. (Underground corridors that are three-high, but have torches or some other background item on the bottom block.) Feel free to test this out and let me know how it goes!

Drop rates
Just a quick question where do you find the Moon lords drop chances inside the games coding. Kind regards --TerrariaDude234 (talk) 01:40, July 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * You need to decompile the game's code from scratch using a program like ILSpy. It's not a simple task. I'll enclose a couple of screenshots to show my meaning.
 * [[File:openBossBagCode_1.3.0.2.png]]
 * [[File:npcLootMoonLord_1.3.0.2.png]]
 * Working out the drop chances from this info doesn't take too much, however without experience in the area it can be quite daunting.

Martian Saucer
Can u add an image for Martian Saucer
 * On it.


 * Can u please fix the chart at Martian Madness to put it under enemies
 * I could do it, but what do you mean? Also, please remember to use the ~ shortcut when you leave a message. It gives anyone replying a better idea of when you left the message.

Can you add an image for moonlord here http://terraria.wikia.com/wiki/Boss_Monsters#Hardmode

Wiki Navigation
Hey, I could have sworn I asked about this before but I've since forgotten. Do you think you could direct me to the pieces of code/css that allow you to add the fourth-level submenus in this wiki's navigation? Like Basics > Environments > Underground > Dirt Layer. I attempted it before on my own wiki from some google'd up codes but could never get it to work. If you could help, that would be great!

Thanks, Kida155 (talk) 05:22, July 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Heya Kida, seems that this here might be the code you're looking for? It took me a while to remember how it was implemented (Called through Common.js) but once I remembered that, just backtracking is easy. It seems to be self-explanatory in its function, through comparing it with our subnavs. Pretty sure this is what you wanted though. :)


 * Well that's definitely the code! I tried it out and it... halfway works? Here's the wiki I'm testing it on, the only example is under Istaria > Crafting. Trying to get Buildings and Dragon Buildings to nest under Construction, but it failed pretty spectacularly, haha. It's odd because I pretty much copy/pasted everything word for word and it just doesn't cooperate. Even tried taking a couple more .js pages just in case I missed something and it's still no good. :c Hopefully you can see what I'm missing? Kida155 (talk) 15:15, July 11, 2015 (UTC)

Having made the DPS Meter page only a couple of days ago, I know it is not listed as what the travelling merchant sells at the bottom of pages having a table listing all NPC's and what they sell so if you could get your bot to add that, it would be great ☺

IDEA/FEEDBACK
Hi the pathogen. Do you believe that the Lunatic Cultist should have an exclusive item for Expert Mode. Perhaps an accessory that will summon 2 copies of your character every 26 seconds. The copies of your character will stand infront and behind you. They will have 175 health and 6 defense. They will not attack the enemy. Your attacks go through them. The enemies will be tricked and attack the clones.

Also do you believe the Celestial Events pillars should have an event progress bar that tells you how much percent you are from the shield going down.
 * Hi there TerrariaDude, honestly I do think that the Lunatic Cultist should have some kind of exclusive drop, as apart from the Lunar Pillars dropping their respective fragments, they do not have exclusive drops either, despite taking so long to take down. I'm unsure of what exactly would be a good drop for this boss in particular, but it does seem lacking that it hasn't been given one yet (apart from the Mask, of course). Feel free to offer a suggestion over on the Terraria.org forums though, as I'm sure we're not alone in this opinion. :)

Regarding Kinshra Slave
Dunno if you seen it or naw, but this user requested to be unblocked. Their apology seems pretty genuine, so it might be worth giving them another chance. I see that the block is only a day long, though, so it's probably not a big deal.

Your call, I'm simply letting you know just in case you hadn't seen.

04:11, July 18, 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know about this mcSwaggins, I had indeed missed the unblock notice being posted. Even despite the short length of the block, I will hardly wait let it expire in a case such as this. The remainder of the block has been rescinded with recommendations as to further conduct. :)


 * Looks like I'll have to put more check-pages on my bookmark bar to "scan" for similar occurrences such as this!

Ban troll pls
There's a troll named Navycaty, (s)he has been editing pages like Golem and Mounts, changing words like Bunny Cannon to Booby Cannon or such. Please ban this troll to make our community better! p/s: lol i clicked the Booby Cannon page thought it was 1.3 update Battlehard101 (talk) 12:50, July 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know, Battlehard101. I've given them a strict warning, as not one of the edits they've made have contributed anything to the wiki. Any further edits of that nature will incur a block, and I will be keeping an eye on them personally. :)

Drop Section of the Monster Infobox
Hey again Path! I've been working on the Istaria wiki lately, and found myself in need of a feature similar to the drops section of the Template:Infobox:Monster, but that code confuses me to no end when I look at it, haha. I mostly just need to know how to get it without the drop chance percentage part, just the whole: DropName, DropName, DropName, and having it put into a plain list with a line break where each comma is rather than new table cells. Hopefully you could give a simple explanation for that kind of code?

Thanks! Kida155 (talk) 02:23, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

Profile?
Leave my profile alone bastardDemonic eye killer (talk) 02:43, July 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * Uhh, first of all, care to elaborate? Second of all, please maintain an acceptable form of language use. Swearing will not get you anywhere.

Grenades
Recently u edited the grenade page to make it say ranged damaged. But as of V 1.3.0.1 grenades will do throwing damage.
 * Sidenote- The games content in this image has not been changed, photo edited, or modified in any way.
 * By the coding of the game, they still deal ranged-type damage, rather than Magic, Summon or Melee.


 * Alright...
 * After further searching, I see that I was incorrect. There is indeed another form of damage added with 1.3. Updating templates and will update the related pages.

TERRARIA Idea (Please read)
Hi the Pathgon, I have an idea for terraria. It is a Mechanical Brain of Cthulu. It will be summoned by a Mechanical Spine that's crafted with 6 Soul of Nights, 6 Vertebrae, and 5 Iron Bar or Lead Bars. The mechanical brain of cthulu has a chance to spawn at night if it isn't defeated before, in which it will display the message. Its stats will change through out the stages.

First Stage

{Stats: 28,500 HP, 40 Melee Damage, 26 Ranged Damage, 50 Defense} In the first stage he will be invincible and will stand still. He will summon in 30 Mechanical Nerves to attack you. You must defeat all mechanical nerves to make it go into its second stage. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Second StageEdit

{Stats: 28,500-22,000 HP, 37 Melee Damage, 30 Ranged Damage, 28 Defense} In the second stage he will go to the opposite side of your cursor. He will shoot 6 lasers aimlessly at you then will go and attack you. After hitting you twice or after 20 seconds, he will go to the opposite side of your cursor. Then he will go and attack you by charging at you. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Third Stage

{Stats: 22,000-14,250 HP, 60 Melee Damage, 32 Ranged Damage, 30 Defense} In this stage he will hover up 25 blocks above the ground and stand still. He can be attacked and will shoot a laser every 4 seconds at you. Also every 5 seconds he will summon 5 mechanical nerves, and will have an maximum of 40 alive mechanical nerves. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Fourth Stage

{Stats: 14,250-8,000 HP, 37 Melee Damage, 30 Ranged Damage, 25 Defense} In this stage he will go to the opposite side of your cursor. He will shoot 8 lasers aimlessly at you then will go and attack you. After hitting you 5 times or after 18 seconds, he will go to the opposite side of your cursor. When he goes to the opposite side of your cursor he will shoot 6 lasers at you then charge at you. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Fifth Stage

{Stats: 8,000-0 HP, 35 Melee Damage, 38 Ranged Damage, 33 Defense} In this stage he will break off parts of himself exposing an eye. He will then summon 23 mechanical nerves. Then he will chase you ,shooting a laser beam every 4 seconds. Every 25 seconds he will dash very quickly. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Mechanical Nerve {Stats: 475 HP, 20 Melee Damage, 0 Ranged Damage, 18 Defense} The mechanical nerves will charge at you, swarming you. They have a 50% chance to drop a heart. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Drops

The mechanical brain will drop the following: • 7-15 Greater Healing Potion 100% • 20-35 Hallowed Bar 100% • 15-40 Soul of might 100% • 13 gold coins 100% • Trophy and mask 100%

(So what do u think about this)

(So what do u think about this)
 * Hi TerrariaDude, usually I don't give my opinion on boss ideas for personal reasons, but this one certainly looks interesting. I would love to see a mechanical version of the Brain of Cthulhu, though I doubt one will be officially added.

Ancient Cultist Stats
Hi The Pathogen. Can you get the stats for the Ancient Cultist boss. By stats I mean its attack damage, and defense. Thanks --TerrariaDude234 (talk) 22:52, July 23, 2015 (UTC)TerrariaDude
 * I can certainly look into that.

Minor template question
I forgot how to make a template automatically add a category to every page it's on; would it just involve putting the standard link to the category within the template? I tried that, but it didn't work, apparently. Maybe it just doesn't update all pages?

652Graystripe (Talk - Contribs - Editcount) 00:26, July 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * If this is for use on another wiki, usually you just include something along the lines of  , though it has to be located in the right place. If you're simply wanting every page with that category in use to be part of a category, my advice would be to add the relevant    near the bottom of the template. Here is an example of the end of the Item Infobox code, showing how it adds the page to a category once the template is present on a page:




 * }
 * }
 * }
 * The template simply checks if the page is in the Mod namespace before adding the category, only doing so if the page is not in that namespace. In the case this is on another wiki, the template usage there can be entirely deprecated, in favor of the following basic example:


 * This will add a page to said category as soon as the template is added to it. However, Wikia does have some problems with caching from time to time, so said page may not appear in the category's list immediately.


 * Right, thanks. I'll add it and then wait for a couple hours to see if it works. If not, bot it is!


 * 652Graystripe (Talk - Contribs - Editcount) 01:12, July 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * Otherwise another thing you can attempt, is to go to the page in question, then add  ?action=purge  to the URL. That should purge the cache and with any luck, show the new template. :) Might also be worth using on the template page as well.

ILSPY
Alright dude. My computers ram is only 4GB and only 3.89GB can be used for tasks. So my computer cant handle decompiling all that code. Atleast it can handle the Item.cs file. Were you able to decompile the NPC.cs file? --TerrariaDude234 (talk) 15:04, July 24, 2015 (UTC)TerrariaDude
 * I was, and it came out to a total of only 2.13MB. Due to copyright laws though, I am not allowed to post the whole file to be read online. Also, I am still reading through other files to see what kind of damage the Ancient Cultist does, as he has four different damage methods that I can think of.

Um, pathogen I had accidentally added a picture of myself, by accident. Is there anyway you can delete it? I kinda feel embarrassed.
