Talk:Familiar Weight

Is there something different about the penguin-smacking club that leads to it being in the "Misc Familiar Equipment" table? --Snickles 22:37, 27 Jul 2005 (Central Daylight Time)

The penguin-smacking club is the Baby Yeti's familiar equiptment. You may be thinking of the seal-clubbing club, the initial equiptment for Seal Clubbers.

• I was wondering why it was on the Misc table, rather than the table with all of the other familiar equipment. But on a second reading, I notice that it increases familiar damage, not level. So, I am just unable to read. --Snickles 22:58, 27 Jul 2005 (Central Daylight Time)

• I can't read either - I was about to pitch a fit about having erred so annoyingly on the annoying pitchfork, when I said to myself "Fork it, we're all entitled to our mistakes!"  :~) --Gymnosophist 00:02, 28 Jul 2005 (Central Daylight Time)

Abbreviations

I've reinstated the fam equip abbreviations. The reasoning behind this is that abbreviations, naturally enough, abbreviate the text. This in turn gives more space to other fields in the table such as the notes field, thus improving overall readability. The use of the unabbreviated "familiar equipment" additionally meant that every fam equip record in the table was expanded to fill two lines whereas in most cases, one line sufficed when using "fam equip". Additionally, I point out that these tables often make use of abbreviations such as "TT Passive Skill". If, perchance, a reader is ignorant of the intended meaning, they can simply click the the provided source link for a fuller explanation. These tables provide summary information on a particular dimension of gameplay and are not meant to provide exhaustive detail. --Gymnosophist 23:21, 18 April 2006 (CDT)
