Documenting items that don't add additional doubloon costs in one category

I had a look over of clothing items on Sage. Black and purple are only counted once when adding doubloon costs, and if both are present, only the 2 doubloon cost extra for black is counted, unless it was used in the part that doesn't increment on an item, then it's purple that will count. Also, on some items, the secondary color doesn't change the doubloon cost no matter what it is (even for purple and black). Not sure where to note it, but I'll list the items I've found so far here:

• Buckle shoes (both genders)
• Tiara (female)
• Crown (male)
• Wide-brimmed hat (female)
• Flare pants (female)

Buccaneer jacket is an oddball. The secondary color will only add 1 at most regardless of whether it's purple or black. However, the primary color will add doubloons independent of the primary color (black/black is 12, standard colors is 9). Confusion++? --Thunderbird 17:32, 20 November 2005 (PST)

It seems that gold doesn't affect Doubloon prices at all. --Ihope127 07:08, 19 December 2005 (PST)

more doubloon costs

The new clothing items need to be added to the extra doubloon table, if someone has time to get the informaiton. --Barrister 15:16, 21 June 2006 (PDT)

Something I've been meaning to say for awhile

Why is the doubloon cost table not hidden behind a "see also"?

I obviously can't speak for anyone else, but I've been getting complaints about it being big and scary, as well as making the information on the page less useful (The stuff people really want to see, 90% of the time, is on the pages for the individual pieces of clothing. The doubloon cost table shunts the links to those down by about four to six screenlengths, and at least one or two people who have spoken to me have just assumed that there's nothing below it, so don't bother reading down and instead bug their local neighborhood administrator for help finding them. Cough.)

Never mind that it only applies to the half of the userbase that uses doubloons, anyway.

Permission to hide behind a link? It's still useful, and I can definetly appreciate the effort put into creating and maintaining it, but right now it seems to be more of a well-maintained stumbling block than anything more useful. :-/ --Ponytailguy 19:02, 11 July 2006 (PDT)

At the very least, it should be the last thing on the clothing page. But a separate page would be fine. Maybe call it "Clothing doubloon costs"? (I'm kind of iffy on that name, so feel free to try something else.) --Barrister 23:19, 11 July 2006 (PDT)

Clothing Length of Life

It would be very helpful if a section detailed how long clothing lasts or what actions cause clothing to wear out faster (if such a thing does occur).

This is covered in both List of decay rates as well as the various other clothing pages like Clothing (torso). Decay is mentioned in the very first paragraph of this article. --Barrister 07:34, 23 September 2007 (PDT)
