Report for August 2015

 Breaking News! The Latest from Disruptor Beam In the most recent blog post, Nod has just announced the upcoming arrival of Epic Evolved Armor and Weapons! Dragon crafters, step aside: there's a new kid on the block! Prepare yourselves for some serious farming because these weapons are not for the faint of heart.

"These Epic items, four weapons and four armor, have power similar to Baby Dragons. Like dragons, your Hand slot and Body slot will each have an item with balanced Battle/Trade/Intrigue stats, as well as three items each focused on one of the primary stats. One difference from dragons is that there is no “colorizing” process from the items. Each item is crafted separately so that you can choose where to focus your efforts. But crafting these items will not be easy to achieve! We expect it will be quite some time before players have multiples of each item." The crafting is not luck-based, but they do require you to own the original weapons, which are purchased with gold, and craft multiple luck-based items. Epic weapons arrived the week of September 7, with the release date for the epic armor to be announced later. Sound interesting? Check out the new weapons!
 * Lightbringer, Red Sword of Heroes
 * Golden Hand of the Kingslayer
 * Spear of Oberyn, the Red Viper
 * Ice, Sword of the North

 Game News New Breaking Ties quests are released every other week, and we're on a brief hiatus for Tales of Ice and Fire, but DB is also adding in some fun bonuses every week. Here's the calendar so far:
 * Week of September 7: 300% Adventure XP Week; addition of new epic recipes and drops
 * Week of September 14: Boost to tactics; the return of Tales

 Wikia News Please welcome our new admin: GhostWolfe and Perfectvelvet! Ghost has been working quite diligently on maintenance issues (updating old images, renaming pages, etc.), while Velvet has focused on the quests themselves (adding characters, correcting required points, etc.). Each month, we post a thread on the To-Do List forum which displays our active projects. This month, we're hoping to roll out a new menu. If you have any ideas or suggestions, September's thread is up and active! We always appreciate your input!

 Wikia Polls Last month, we asked what your favorite weekly event was, and the results are in! Only 5 people voted, but 3 chose Quartermaster Supply Week and 2 chose SS/Character XP Week. Hopefully DB will continue these events. This month, just for fun, we want to know ... who is your most trusted advisor? Perhaps you feel that Groat's cunning helps you be a better lord, or perhaps Septa Eleanor's gentle hand guides you well. Let us know! This poll will run during the month of September, and we'll share the results with you next month. Cast your vote here.

 We need your help! Please consider helping us out on the Wikia! The game is constantly growing and changing, and it's difficult to keep up with it all! You don't have to be an expert with coding; there is something for all skill levels! Why not contribute to one of the following projects?
 * Add result text to Breaking Ties quests
 * Add copyright information to images (details here)
 * Add resale value to item cards

 Contribution Awards Contributor of the Month and Wiki Gnome are not dead, but with only 40 active contributors in the last month, most of them adding to their alliance pages rather than contributing to the Wikia itself, it is becoming difficult to award these titles!

 Wikia Stats Here are the latest stats for the Wikia!

For those that don't know, WAM is the Ranking system that Wikia use to Rank all of their Wikis based on how "healthy" a Wiki is. The lower the number the better. New Users, new pages, traffic to the Wiki all help determine a Wiki's Ranking

 Most Visited Pages The following were the Top Ten most visited pages this month:
 * 1) Free Stuff (=)
 * 2) Reincarnation (=)
 * 3) Sworn Swords (=)
 * 4) Sacrifice (=)
 * 5) Valyrian Glyphs (6)
 * 6) Quickening the Dragon Egg (5)
 * 7) Ceremonial Bowl (new)
 * 8) Superior Items (7)
 * 9) The Final Harvest (new)
 * 10) Weapons (new)

The following pages dropped off of Top Ten most visited: As expected, dragon training is still very popular among players, which explains quickening article as well as several materials lingering on this list month after month.
 * Hints and Tips (8)
 * Dragon Skull (9)
 * List of Quests (10)

A new page on the list is The Final Harvest, latest original chapter of Breaking Ties volume.

This concludes August's report on the Wikia! Thank you to all of the active contributors! You are the best, and without you, this site would be woefully incomplete!

As always, let us know if you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or shout-outs for us! We'd love to hear from you!
