Forum:Item Recipe Changes

Exiton, I come for your soul, err... I mean what is your current style on Item Recipe Changes? It's come up in the latest patch, so while it's fresh in my head I wanted to talk it over.

I think the recipe listing like:


 * recipe changed to + 350 gold from  +  + 250 gold.

should be acceptable on the Heart of Gold page, however, as you mentioned before, we should put a note on the affected items page. So for Cloth Armor: V1.0.0.115:
 * No longer part of the recipe:.

I'm trying to brainstorm anything else that could happen to an item, so that we can work out formatting for it:
 * 1) new item added to the game (new item)
 * 2) component items (part of new recipe)
 * 3) item removed from game (no longer part of recipe)
 * 4) component items (no longer part of recipe)
 * 5) items that were using removed item as part of recipe (recipe change)
 * 6) item recipe changed (recipe change)
 * 7) component item removed from recipe (no longer part of recipe)
 * 8) component item added to recipe (part of new recipe)
 * 9) recipe/combine cost changed (^recipe change) primary item
 * 10) affected recipe costs higher order items (cost change due to component cost change) (for example randuin omen's total cost went down with recent patch)

So, to summarize:

1. Primary Item changes: (this will be same as official patch notes)
 * new item
 * no longer part of recipe
 * recipe change

2. Secondary Items changes: (additional notes we will have to add to item patch histories as consequence of 1)
 * part of new recipe
 * no longer part of recipe
 * recipe change
 * cost change due to component cost change

Bah, I think that's all I can conjure up. Comments, suggestions, concerns - all welcome.
