Do you mean linking to status on the main page? I could contact support about it if we can agree on a format (as basic account types, used by players and most editors, cannot edit the main page for various reasons). I propose...

In the Clockworks Handbook section:

*Teamwork
*Exploration & Monsters
*Damage & Status
*Pickups & Consumables
*Missions
*Playing Guides

I don't have an opinion on this particular issue, but I'll just point out that there's such a thing as having too many links on the main page. Ideally just the absolutely most important ones would be there, so as not to distract the readers with less-important ones.

Actually, I guess I do have an opinion. You can find pages about status by searching the wiki for "status", "status effect", or any of the individual statuses. The information is already available enough (although as always the pages could use some tidying up).

I actually think we should add statuses to the main page, but after that, everything will be fine and no more links there will be necessary (unless another major part of the game is introduced).

That's a good point. The wiki generally lacks data on status, including what it actually means to have a "BLAH chance of inflicting BLEH status." There are a few forum threads about, as well as a few damage tables (especially for fire and shock) here and there. Wiki work is almost entirely voluntarily done by players, so, it might be a while before significant data is obtained.

Please recheck all information you put multiple times before publishing. You said false things several times before (like pepperboxes being elemental).

Thank you! But pepperboxes are elemental. They deal fire, a type of elemental damage.

In case this post isn't just a troll: No. Fire is a status, not a damage type. Of course, the main effect of fire is that damage happens. And the type of that damage is normal, not elemental. Additionally, all of the damage done by the weapon itself is normal. All of this is covered in the relevant wiki articles.

In case it's useful to a potential wiki editor, let me give you some examples to help you understand the relationship between damage and status. For starters:

* Ice polyps deal piercing damage and freeze status.
* Ice lumbers deal elemental damage and freeze status.
* Ice devilites deal shadow damage and freeze status.

So you can see that freeze is not tied to any one damage type. It's a separate part of the monster's attack. Damage is the thing that kills you. Freeze is the thing that sticks your feet to the floor. Similarly:

* Dread Venom Striker deals normal damage and poison status.
* Plague Needle deals piercing damage and poison status.
* Venom Veiler deals elemental damage and poison status.
* Obsidian Edge deals shadow damage and poison status.

We could do similar exercises with many combinations of damage and status, including fire. I hope that this helps.

Only Vanaduke-Destroyer can explain what he meant by "false things several times before".

Yes, statuses and damage types are completely different things, and damage types/statuses aren't related to each-other.

However, (at least in normal, tier 1) -

Fire itself (not what inflicts it) deals normal damage.
Shock itself (not what inflicts it) deals elemental damage.
All status traps (only the traps, not weapons/enemies/vials/barriers/whatever else can inflict statuses) both deal split normal/elemental damage (50% normal, 50% elemental).

I also found out that spikes deal split normal/piercing damage (50% normal, 50% piercing).

This information only applies to traps in tier 1, normal difficulty . Traps (or at least, missile launchers in the IMF) have been found to deal different damage splits on different difficulties and possibly different tiers (tiers not tested). Normal: Mostly normal, some elemental (I think). Advanced: 50% normal, 50% elemental (I think). Elite: Mostly elemental, some normal.

I agree, the status page should be on the main page, but I disagree with the statuses being put on the damage type page.

Unrelated to this, though - Is Trymal your main knight in-game?
