Status Points[]

Fundamentally, I agree with you, Lordebon, unless the mob rewards exactly the same amount of Status every time. I only put in the exact number because I've been running Unrest (mentored) quite a lot lately whilst trying to get Jerath's greedy mits on a set of the Leather Insoles that Garanel drops. But I digress... Even when a status reward amount is known, I still don't like the field cuz the OCD-ish code-monkey in me says that the number (if inserted) should appear in bold light-blue (as with HQ status rewards, etc). -- Mysterious drake 07:15, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Yep... the problem is that to my knowledge no mob rewards a fixed amount of status, they're all somewhat variable. Now, if someone put in a lot of research and had access to guilds of all different levels we might be able to figure out exactly how the number changes and determine what kind of setting SOE uses for it (I suspect its some base number or setting that just gets a multiplier applied), but in the absense of that I usually change numerical values to yes/no. Which isn't necessarily the best (since a number can give a relative idea -- like ~18k vs ~8k) but it does have the positive effect of preventing lots of wasted editing as people keep updating a number to what they get. ((In an aside, I've done unrest so many times in the past trying to get those blasted insoles, I gave up since few want to go there now and its impossible to get past the levels or the hag solo)) --lordebon 18:11, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
