Todokin Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Figured I'd start a thread to help coordinate all the Orcz who are contributing to the Blade & Soul Wiki NOTE: I know there are a bunch of wikis for the game, but this thread is ONLY for the Orcz one. For any other wiki please use a different thread to avoid confusion. Anyway the purpose of this thread is to collaborate in collecting information from the game and adding it to the wiki, to ensure some level of consistency and quality, and to make sure people are not working on the same project simultaneously and thus wasting time. Anyway remember to bookmark the main page of the wiki: http://orcz.com/BladeandSoul or if you are on mobile here is a handy shortcut: http://orcz.com/BnS Some general guidelines when adding info: 1) Please include a screenshot in every entry, illustrating what the article is talking about. It makes a HUGE difference! 2) Try to avoid short stubs, like having the whole entry be "Bamboo Village is the name of a village". Instead, include a detailed description and names of NPCs, quests, or other stuff related to the entry you are writing about. 3) Make sure the entries are properly categorized so that the wiki doesnt get disorganized and so that it's easy for people to find what they are looking for. 4) Most important, have fun! You are basically telling the story about the world, the people there, the lore. Think of yourself as the great historian of Blade & Soul! Link to post Share on other sites

Trikey Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hey I have just finished uploading all the maps in the game I gathered them under the "Maps" section Here it is: Blade & Soul: Maps Link to post Share on other sites

Trikey Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Right now I put the maps in alphabetical order but am working on an alternate page that will have them sorted by zones/regions, just like in the game Link to post Share on other sites
Trikey Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I've added the maps into a new (currenty phantom) category called "Blade and Soul Geography" I envision that category will be like a geography book of the world, with maps, cities, villages, topography, landmarks, and more Link to post Share on other sites
Trikey Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 ok this page organizes the maps by zone/region just like in game: Blade & Soul: Maps by Zone Some will find that one more intuitive. But if you dont remember what zone the area you are looking for is in you can use the other page. Link to post Share on other sites
GamerBlade Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I was just at the yonkai work camp while reading this thread so figured I'd give it a go: http://orcz.com/Blade_and_Soul:_Yonkai_Work_Camp Template for (area) includes: Overview Location Minimap NPCs Utility Map Explore nearby Strategy guide/tips Screenshots Hope this helps. Will do more areas as I cover more grounds. Link to post Share on other sites

Todokin Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 playing around with a template for an area map. It marks the location of the area in a red circle on the region map And under the map I added a "what's here" section that has a list of NPCs and other stuff you can find in that area Here is the first entry I wrote: Yonkai Work Camp Map Link to post Share on other sites
Trikey Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Lets try to stay consistent with how we label the different area types. I had to fix a few inconsistencies. Here is how the game labels them, and thus how they should be labeled in the wiki. From global to local: CONTINENT - eastern continent and southern continent ZONE - Cinderlands, Viridian Coast, Moonwater Plains REGION - The Scorching Sands, Lycadi Foothills, Tomun Range, etc AREA - all places in the region, ie Yonkai Work Camo INSTANCE - any instance that is not a dungeon ie Yonkai Excavation DUNGEON - The dungeons Link to post Share on other sites
Catgravy Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 This is going to be a great resource. One suggestion... since it is a BnS Wiki, everything is under B. Blade and Soul should be removed so that for instance, Maps are under M. Classes are under C. etc... I could understand if this was a multi-wiki page, but since it is a BnS wiki, it's kind of redundant. Link to post Share on other sites
Trikey Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'll be working on uploading all the costumes/outfits so wanted to let everyone know so that they work on something else I created a placeholder category: Blade and Soul: Wardrobe Link to post Share on other sites
Todokin Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 From having less than 10 pages in 2 categories yesterday, now it has over 50+ pages in 10 different categories and growing fast! Thanks to all who are helping out Link to post Share on other sites

Well the platform itself is kind of a multiwiki, but I managed to figure out how to make it alhpabtetize the entries for the game properly, thanks for the suggestion Link to post Share on other sites

Trikey Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 BTW if you run into any cute animals be sure to also add them.

We need a lot more of those in the wiki yeah you're right, though if I see an animal I will document it into the wiki, but I don't go around looking for them. Anyway all the Prologue quests are done! Still need to fill in some entries such as NPCs and stuff but the pages for the quests themselves are in place. Thanks for all those who helped. Am onto documenting the next areas. Here are the quest pages and of course if anyone wants to improve them or add info people missed feel free as this is a joint community project: Chapter 1: Awakenings Chapter 2: Morning Time at Heaven's Reach Chapter 3: Looking for Lusung Chapter 4: Master Hong's Summons Chapter 5: Disciple of the Hongmoon School Chapter 6: Training Begins Chapter 7: The Proving Grounds Chapter 8: Twilight's Edge Link to post Share on other sites
