User blog:Exiton/Item Patch Histories

I have finished formatting the patch histories for all the items on the wiki. I'm not sure all the actual facts are straight yet i still need to go through all of the patch histories and enter the information into the item pages (where it does not already exist). I have when possible used the same format as the patch history page. I have made small edits to the text as the information is being applied to a specific item not a general patch history.

For example patch V1.0.0.107 has the following entry
 * Recipe changed: now requires and, instead of  and.
 * Upgrade cost increased to 700 from 500.
 * Now provides +40 Attack Damage and 40% Armor Penetration, changed from +40% Attack Speed, +10 Attack Damage and 40% Armor Penetration.
 * Now provides +40 Attack Damage and 40% Armor Penetration, changed from +40% Attack Speed, +10 Attack Damage and 40% Armor Penetration.

So on the Last Whisper page the entry would be

V1.0.0.107:
 * Recipe changed: Now requires and  instead of  and.
 * Upgrade cost increased to 700 from 500.
 * Now provides +40 Attack Damage and 40% Armor Penetration, instead of +40% Attack Speed, +10 Attack Damage and 40% Armor Penetration.

The Pickaxe page would have the following entry.
 * recipe changed: Now requires and  instead of  and.

The Recurve Bow page would say
 * removed from recipe for.

The longsword page would have no mention of this patch as its use in the recipe remains unchanged. One problem i anticipate with trying to be as informative as possible is with changes made to very old recipes. Not all patch histories are as detailed as the entry for last whisper. Many give the new recipe without saying what the old recipe was. For items that came out in Alpha there is no mention on the wiki as to what those original recipes where. I would like to have this information for every item in the patch history for when the item was introduced.

Next week ill start combing through patch histories and entering info into each item starting with V1.0.0.112 although i think people have done this one already. Any comments as to formatting and where i can find useful info is appreciated. For example, do you think i need to mention the old recipe for Last Whisper in the Pickaxe history is is just saying "Pickaxe is now used in recipe for the Last Whisper" good enough?
