Talk:Control Point Modification Recipes

Page layout
I like the idea behind this page. Easy access to generally useful recipes is much better than being at the mercy of random drops or MS. With that in mind, I changed the layout to make it better for directed searches.


 * The page is organized first by weapon/armor, then by type of modification. This gives a useful TOC without having it become too long.
 * Each subsection consists of entries for the specific modifications of that type. Grouping by the modification in a list instead of a table makes it easy to concentrate on what you're looking for without having to worry about neighboring columns of unrelated things.
 * Each modification entry is a list with one line per level. For each level, a comma-separated list of control points that offer the modification/level combination, with the zone in parentheses.

In addition to whatever people might disagree with of the above, there are a few open issues.


 * Which way to sort the levels, descending or ascending. Descending is convenient for level 50s looking to optimize their gear. Ascending is convenient for mid-level characters who might have to go up 5 or 10 levels to find a working recipe. Either way it's not really a big deal.
 * Whether to include the zone or not after the CP name. Including is useful for people who don't know the places well, but it takes up space and may seem redundant.
 * What to link. Control point names? Zone names? Modification names?

Well, that's it for starters. - Dashiva (talk) 18:07, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for rearranging it in a more readable way, but I think you should explain the format somewhere on the page. For example, there is no reference to "50" meaning the level of the mod. Descending sort order seems better to me. Including the Zone should not be neccesary if the Control_Point page shows all the locations. I will see if I can find time to update it. On the other hand, it does not really take up that much space here...
