Consider discussing changes on the talk page or on Discord before implementing them.

Item is a template that creates an infobox on the page, then sets categories and semantic properties to the page. This allows the items to be searched for and displayed in advanced item tables that stays up-to-date, which can be difficult in a game that is constantly evolving.

Overview

This template should be used for all items on the wiki and it will take of setting semantic properties, creating an infobox as well as setting categories.

It is meant for usage on permanent pages, do not use it on user pages.

Maintenance categories

Maintenance categories will be set when the template is incorrectly used or some parameters should be filled out.

Category	Variable	Description
Category:Items without a release version	release_version	Items that do not have a release version set.
Category:Items with improper modifiers	implicit<i>_text or explicit<i>_text	Items that use explicit text instead of proper references to modifiers.
Category:Items with broken item references in upgraded from parameters‎	upgraded_from_set<i>_group<j>_item_id or upgraded_from_set<i>_group<j>_item_page or upgraded_from_set<i>_group<j>_item_name	Items that have a broken item reference in one of the ingredient groups; i.e. either no matches or too many matches.

Base parameters

Parameter	Value	Required	PyPoE Export	Range	Field	Description
class_id	str				items.class_id	A valid internal item class id. This is used to determine further properties of the item and thus is required in all cases.
supertype	str				items.supertype	Supertype of the item, one of: shaper elder veiled fractured synthesised
rarity	str				items.rarity	rarity of the item, one of: Normal Magic Rare Unique
name	str				items.name	Name of the item
name_list	str				items.name_list	List of aliases for this item; this should be used carefully and only for legacy versions of the item (i.e. Caustic Arrow vs Poison Arrow). The current item name is always added to this list automatically
size_x	int				items.size_x	x-size in inventory units, i.e. the width
size_y	int				items.size_y	y-size in inventory units, i.e. the height
drop_enabled	bool		*		items.drop_enabled	Whether the item is drop enabled; this defaults to true. Specify false for legacy items that do not drop anymore.
drop_level	int				items.drop_level	At which level the item starts dropping at (may differ from required_level)
drop_level_maximum	int				items.drop_level_maximum	Up to which level the item drops
drop_leagues	list[str]				items.drop_leagues	A comma-separated list of leagues the item can drop it. Generally this should specified for items that are only obtainable as long the league flag is active (i.e. through the league itself, though zana mods, or other conditions).
drop_areas	list[str]				items.drop_areas item.drop_areas_html	A comma-separated list of area ids the item can drop in. The field should be specified for items that can only drop in specific areas, but not for instances where specific monsters drop this item (even if the monster only appears in the specific area - this is because the drop restriction is related to the monster, not the area in those cases). See Finding areas section on this page for more details.
drop_areas_html	list[str]				item.drop_areas_html	Overrides the automatically generated text form the drop_areas parameter. This should only be specified in cases where a lot of areas are specified and it would reduce visibility.
drop_text	str				items.drop_text	Parameter to handle any restrictions to obtaining an item that are not covered by more specific parameters. Always use a specific parameter if possible
required_level	int				items.required_level	Which level is required to use the item (may differ from drop_level)
required_dexterity	int				items.required_dexterity	The dexterity requirement of the item if any
required_intelligence	int				items.required_intelligence	The intelligence requirement of the item if any

flavour_text	str				items.flavour_text	Flavour text if any (i.e. for unique items, vaal fragments, divination cards, etc)
help_text	str				items.help_text	Help text if any For some item classes such as gems a default string is inserted if this value is missing.
tags	list[str]				items.tags	List of internal tags
metadata_id	str				items.metadata_id	Internal metadata id of the item
is_corrupted	bool				items.is_corrupted	Set to true if the item is always corrupted (i.e. drops in a corrupted state).
is_relic	bool				items.is_relic	Set to true if the item is a relic. Rarity of the item must be "Unique" for this to work.
release_version	str				items.release_version	The version number of when this item was initially released; when an item has legacy variants the date of the original release of the legacy variant should be used. The version must a be a valid version number and there must be a version page or the template will return an error. Items that have no release version set will also be added to the category Items without a release version.
removal_version	str				items.removal_version	The version number of when this item was removed. The version must a be a valid version number and there must be a version page or the template will return an error.
inventory_icon	str				items.inventory_icon	This parameter only needs to be specified if the item name does not match the wiki page name. When specified, the specified text will be used instead of the item name in front of the "inventory icon.png" suffix. For example: name = Baller inventory_icon = Test item (cold and fire) -> File:Test item (cold and fire) inventory icon.png
alternate_art_inventory_icons	list[str]				items.alternate_art_inventory_icons	This parameter takes a comma-separated list of alternate art icon names, which each be inserted into the name of the item (or the provided override) and the "inventory icon.png" suffix. The order of the item matters; if using the item link template, the items will can accessed in that order. The list items should be named after where they were retrieved from (for example, which race season) and ordered by the date they were added. Example: name = Test item alternate_art_inventory_icons = race season 1, emberwake -> File:Test item race season 1 inventory icon.png, File:Test item 1 emberwake inventory icon.png
quality	int				item_stats.id = "quality" item_stats.value = <value>	Quality of the item. This arguments only works for item classes that can have quality (i.e. Maps, all Flasks, all Weapons and all armour pieces) For unique weapons and armours this defaults to Q20.
cannot_be_traded_or_modified	boolean				—	Whether the item can be traded or modified. Defaults to true.

Base item

Items with a rarity above normal (i.e. magic/rare/unique) can have a base item set.

When a base item is set, most of the attributes will be copied over to the item and only attributes that differ from the base item need to be set, due to that the base item **must** exist.

There should only be one of the following base item parameters be set; if possible consider using a base item that is guaranteed to be unique.

Note that regardless of which setting was used, all properties will be populated.

Parameter	Value	PyPoE Export	Unique	Field	Field on the base item	Description
base_item	str			items.base_item	Base item name
base_item_id	str			items.base_item_id	Base item metadata id.
base_item_page	str			items.base_item_page	—	Base item wiki page.

Purchase costs

Items of Normal rarity support setting purchase costs at NPC vendors for each of the rarities.

In the following table replace these parameters accordingly:

• <rarity>- replace with the current rarity, i.e. normal, magic, rare or unique, will be added to item_purchase_costs.rarity
• <i> - replace with the order of the mod starting at 1.

Please note that multiple entries will all be assumed to be necessary for the purchase.

Parameter	Value	Required	PyPoE Export	Field	Description
purchase_cost_<rarity><i>_name	str			item_purchase_costs.name	The item name which is used for purchasing this item of the specified rarity
purchase_cost_<rarity><i>_amount	int			item_purchase_costs.amount	How many of the specified item name are required for purchasing this item of the specified rarity

For example, to set the purchase cost of an item to 5x Scroll of WisdomScroll of WisdomStack Size: 40Identifies an itemRight click this item then left click an unidentified item to apply it. and 1x you'll need to specify the following in the parameters:

   purchase_cost_normal1_name = Scroll of Wisdom
   purchase_cost_normal1_amount = 5
   purchase_cost_normal2_name = Orb of Alteration
   purchase_cost_normal2_amount = 1

Setting mods

Mods can be set on any item type.

Generally there are two ways of doing this:

1. setting the mod id
2. setting the mod text

The order of the mods does matter - it's how the mod's stats will appear on the item.

Mod id and mod text can mixed up.

Mod parameters

Replace the <i> with the order of the mod starting at 1. Replace the <implicit/explicit> according to whether the modifier is an implicit or explicit. Please note that unique items will receive their implicits from base items and do not require their implicits to be set. In the data base table, this value will correspond to item_mods.is_implicit.

Parameter	Value	Required	PyPoE Export	Field(s)	Description
<implicit/explicit><i>	str			item_mods.id	Id of the implicit or explicit modifier at index i
<implicit/explicit><i>_text	str			item_mods.text	Text of the implicit or explicit modifier at index i If the mod id at the same index is: set: Will override the text of the modifier with the specified one. If set to any false value the text will be hidden entirely. not set: Will simply set a line. The page will also be added to Category:Items with improper modifiers
<implicit/explicit><i>_random_list	list[str]			item_mods.id item_mods.is_random	Should be a set to a comma-separated list of modifiers that can randomly appear on the item. All the modifiers will be added to the infoboxes and item tables, but they will not be included in the inline infoboxes. Unlike regular modifiers, stats here will not affect the visible item stats in the infoboxes (so for example, a random armour modifier will not increase the armour value shown). If the text parameter is set for this index, the given text will be shown as a summary instead of the default. This parameter should be used for unique items that can choose from a pool of random modifiers.

When to use mod id and mod text

The mod id must correspond to an existing mod id. please note the mod id may be different from the page itself, look on the particular mod page for the id itself (also see Template:Mod)

The template will calculate adjustments to the base values of the item based on the mods. Make sure that any values on the item itself are set to the **base value** (before applying the stats) and not the final values.

If a base item is supplied for the item, any implicit mods will be copied over. Explicit mods will not be copied.

Finding the appropriate mods for unique items

Mods are exposed with several properties by {{Mod}}, as a result mods can be searched through ask queries.

If you have an unique item where the minimum and maximum rolls are known, or even just the stat texts, you can search those properties through queries.

For example, has 5 different stat lines which rolls are known, finding the mod for

 (50 to 75)% increased Physical Damage 

can be done through a query like this:

{{#cargo_query: 
 |tables=mods, mod_stats, spawn_weights, _pageData
 |join on=mods._pageName=mod_stats._pageName, mods._pageName=spawn_weights._pageName, mods._pageName=_pageData._pageName
 |fields=mods._pageName, mods.id, mods.stat_text, _pageData._creationDate, _pageData._modificationDate
 |where= 
       mods.stat_text LIKE "%Physical Damage%"
   AND mods.generation_type=3
   AND mod_stats.min=50
   AND mod_stats.max=75
 |limit=5000
 |order by=mods.stat_text
 |group by=mods._pageName, mod_stats._pageName, spawn_weights._pageName
 |format=template
  |template=Mod table with items
  |intro={{Mod table with items/intro}}
  |outro={{Mod table with items/outro}}
}}

This may yield multiple possible mods:

As you can see there is only 1 acceptable mod id in this case that has a matching stat text.

If several mods have the same stat text:

• Avoid having multiple items with the same mod.
  • If that's the case try to assign the highest numbered mod id to the newest released item. The {{Mod table with items}} result template helps with this.
• Consider the internal id of the mod (mods.id).
  • UniqueOneHandMace1 does fit what we're searching for: a modifier for an unique one hand mace
  • In addition once you have found multiple mods for the different stat texts, they may be named in a similar fashion (they should refer to a UniqueOneHandMace1 in this case).

Let's say only 66% increased Physical Damage is known, then the maximum and minimum values are not known but the fields can still be used by replacing that part with:

   AND mod_stats.min<=66
   AND mod_stats.max>=66

Notes:

• Cargo has similar syntax to SQL.
• Stat text can include linked words. The [[linked page|linked word]] will be included and since the linked word sometimes differ to the linked page it's not to easy figure out the correct stat text.
• Stat text may change between updates of the game, so searching for the values and not the text might be a good idea.
• Using wildcards can make your life easier.
• The page name and mod id aren't always the same. Use mods.id] when adding to the item.

Notes about specific stats:

Type	Description	Values
"per second" values	These are generally handled by minute. So 2% Life regenerated per second equals a stat value of 120	x*60
duration values	These are generally handled in milliseconds. So Gain Onslaught for 3 seconds equals a stat value of 3000	x*1000
reduced/less	These are generally negated values. So 30% reduced life equals a stat value of -30	x*-1
x-y	These are generally two separate stats, you want to search for min/max for x or min/max for y. So for Adds (1-2) to (3-4) Physical Damage values mod_stats.min=1 AND mod_stats.max=2 or mod_stats.min=3 AND mod_stats.max=4 are appropriate. Mixing these will yield no results.	x or y not both
Permyriad	Percentage values are sometimes rewritten as a permyriad stat value.	x*100

If you fail to find any mods

Generally using mod text should be avoided, since it doesn't handle any automated updating of the values.

However if there is no appropriate mod on the wiki yet (for example, for upcoming unique items!), you may want to use the <implicit/explicit><i>_text parameter.

To address the system not updating the values on the item properly, you can also manually set stats on an item:

Parameter	Value	Range	Description
extra_stat<i>_id	str	—	Identifier of the stat. Consider checking Module:Item2 source code to see which ones are handled.
extra_stat<i>_value	str		the value of a stat if it isn't a range.
extra_stat<i>_min	str		minimum range value of a stat
extra_stat<i>_max	str		maximum range value of a stat

Vendor recipes and upgrade paths

Vendor recipes and upgrade paths can be represented by using the upgraded_from parameters. Any item can have an arbitrary number of sets that produce the item with each set containing a number of groups that represent a single or multiple items of the same type with a specific condition.

Set parameters

Replace the <i> with the order of the set starting at 1.

Parameter	Type	Description
upgraded_from_set<i>_text	str	A descriptive text that applies to the entire set. For example, this could be used in vendor recipes to mention that all items need to be quality 20 in order for the set to work.

Group parameters

Replace the <i> with the order of the set starting at 1. Replace the <j> with the order of the group starting at 1.

The item_ parameters used to look up the item in the wiki database, if no item is found, the set will be considered invalid. An exact error message is output to the log which can be shown under Lua logs when hitting the preview button upon saving the page and the page will be added to Category:Items with broken item references in upgraded from parameters.

Parameter	Type	Description	Required
upgraded_from_set<i>_group<j>_item_id	str	Metadata id of the ingredient item. Use this if possible.
upgraded_from_set<i>_group<j>_item_page	str	Page of the ingredient item. Use this to avoid ambiguous item names. Please note as the page name changes the reference here will be invalid, so it isn't as robust as using ids.
upgraded_from_set<i>_group<j>_item_name	str	Exact, case-sensitive name of the item consumed. Item names can be used for multiple items which can cause this option to fail.
upgraded_from_set<i>_group<j>_amount	int	Amount of items of this type used/consumed in the recipe.
upgraded_from_set<i>_group<j>_notes	str	Extra notes about the item types. For example, the rarity required of the item could be described here.

Item sell price overrides

In general these parameters should not be set since the item sell price is derived from the modifiers on the item or special vendor recipes. If the sell price is only sightly different from the ingame price (e.x. 2 alchemy shards less then ingame) this indicates that modifiers are missing or wrongfully chosen and should NOT be fixed with sell prices overrides.

Items that have this set will be added to the maintenance category Category:Item with sell prices overrides.

Sell price parameters

Replace the <i> with the order of the set starting at 1.

Parameter	Type	Description
sell_price<i>_name	str	Name of the sell price item
sell_price<i>_amount	str	How many of the specified item this item sells for

Examples

Finding areas

For the drop_areas parameter you'll need to specify the area ids; the id is required instead of the name of the area, because multiple areas can share the same name. There are a couple of ways to find area ids:

1. In the main area page there is a infobox that shows the id.
2. You can also use SMW to find ids using a simple query such as:

{{#cargo_query:
|tables=areas
|fields=areas.id, areas.name, areas.act, areas.main_page
|where=areas.name="The Twilight Strand"
|group by=areas._pageID
}}

Yields:

So if you meant the act 1 area you'd use drop_areas = 1_1_1, if you meant the act 6 area, you'd use drop_areas = 2_6_1 or if you actually want both you can just use them both drop_areas = 1_1_1, 2_6_1.
