You can use the entire Item Template when you create pages. Just fill in the info you need, and put None or some-such in the areas that don't apply to the item. --Chrisjander 07:04, 27 April 2006 (PDT)
Sorry, should have clarified. The parts after How to Obtain can be removed if they don't apply, its above where we keep them, where the information might be useful. So if the item isn't obtained thru fishing, you can remove the Fishing section. You'll also notice that certain tables have multiple uses; Dropped From can also be used for Stolen From. Just look at the minor format change I did to the Beast Whistle page you created for an example. --Chrisjander 07:50, 27 April 2006 (PDT)
Just a helpful bit of information: The Status effect pages are for the effects, not the spells, so information pertaining to the spells should be put on those pages. I saw you edited the Stoneskin (Status Effect) page with the damage absorb calculation, but that does not apply to Stoneskin effects in general, just the White Magic spell Stoneskin. The status effect page refers to the general effect given by Stoneskin, the summoning Blood Pact Earthen Ward, and the Blue Magic spell Metallic Body, which all have different means of calculating the damage they absorb. I think the information you had, if it is not already there, would be best served if you put it on the RDM/WHM spell Stoneskin page. --Chrisjander 10:32, 27 April 2006 (PDT)
Bust
A Busted roll has a negative effect on whatever it was the roll was trying to enhance. So if you Bust a Corsair's Roll, you get lower than normal xp per kill. Or so I have read from people measuring the specific % changes on different roll results. --Valyana 06:55, 28 April 2006 (PDT)
RII/RIII
I have been a WHM for a long, long, long time. I have had people recieve RII and RIIIs from me that have been 50 and they have in fact gotten back more than 25% of their lost XP. So I don't know why you didn't, but in the past others have... Unless they made a recent change in one of the updates, I don't think that is correct and I don't know whether you calculated wrong or there was a glitch with you. There are many sites that have the EXP Loss chart that states the same thing and I have proven it before... I don't think your change is warrented until others also prove it wrong since so many other sites/experience goes against you. --Nynaeve 08:24, 15 June 2006 (PDT)
I am not exactly saying I think you are wrong. I just want more proof since I have just been RII & III people for a long time esp level 50's because I always helped my friends get their AF as soon as they hit 50 and trust me they died alot but my Raises saved them XP hence why I went with them... Now if a new update changed that I want to know and I want to test it. It could be possible they changed it but I personally don't think its right to take 1 persons word over the word of many different sites/experience of others. I think more testing is needed. Give it time and please don't change it back. I will go out of my way to check this... Try to bribe ppl to die so I can check. :) --Nynaeve 08:37, 15 June 2006 (PDT)
No way, don't go losing your own XP, what a waste. I will just con some people out of their XP. All of my friends are past 50 so I will have to look for strangers but it shouldnt be too hard. I might just go sit around ppl that are lvl 50 that are XPing. And offer to Raise them if they just keep track of their XP take SS and email them to me too if they can. I honestly am not 100% sure anymore, but I know back then you got the less XP loss if you were 50 but this is SE, they could F*** with it and not tell us and it would take us this long to notice. --Nynaeve 08:52, 15 June 2006 (PDT)
I am actually really curious now, give me some time to investigate it - I know two of my friends are level SAM & DRG together and were 48 last I checked and they get 3-4 levels in a day most of the time they go out so when they hit 50 I will ask them both to die for me since they insist on keeping the same XP... Can't fault them seeing as I do that when I level COR with my BF's BLU or DRG with my BFs DRG. I hope they will do it... they both have jobs to level 75 so they shouldnt be so touchy and if they are I will PL their whiny butts back... I prolly wont have time to harress level 50 parties til Saturday since I work 8-5 all week and rarely have time after work to do anything besides get ready for the next day... so if you can be patient I will try to do some expirementing then. I have no doubts to the fact that below level 50 the other raises have no additional effect but now I am concerned that they changed it to jip level 50s and didnt tell anyone... That will really really stink seeing as level 50 is the time they normally go out and get AF. I know that everytime I did it on my many current and even my older deleted characters I got my AF right at 50 and I did die often. So it concerns me... --Nynaeve 10:18, 15 June 2006 (PDT)

I always found this one correct and used this one: http://www.iluvitar.com/sections/ffxi/exp/exp_chart.html
It worked for me back when I used to hardcore play my last main...
I am not sure if it got changed or not... But it used to be level 50 and above got a lesser XP Loss. I have seen that site before but I have also seen many sites say that @50 you saved with II/III as well. I am open to admitting it might have changed in the past few months since I don't play that character as much and haven't raised many ppl under 75 since I only log on her now to mule and to Raise my friends. Even under the table on that page showing the XP Loss it says: "Raise II & III only have an exp return bonus on characters level 50 or higher" so maybe it was recently changed in the table to go with the loss and that part never was altered... Makes me curious and I really want to see for myself since so many things seem to be contradicting each other on this one. --Nynaeve 12:08, 15 June 2006 (PDT)
Totally forgot about this this weekend - had way too much RL stuff going on stressing me out. I'm sorry. I swear I will do it soon. Sorry. --Nynaeve 07:54, 19 June 2006 (PDT)
Conned a Friend into it with the promise of PLing hte XP back. He has Moghancement:Experience so he loses a bit less anyways but overall you were right, it has changed: Start XP - 7610/7800 Dies Raise III - 7166/7800 Dies Raise II - 6722/7800
He loses 444 each time. He would lose a lot less if he actually was effected by RIII and RII - so they act only as RIs. I will change it now. --Nynaeve 12:48, 24 June 2006 (PDT)
