I think it's more specific than just a non-outpost. I think the island has to have a commodities market. I'm about 95% sure. --Barrister 08:34, 10 August 2005 (PDT)

Price table
I've got a slightly more updated version of the price table Orsino and I put together on the forums, if someone could explain to me how to make tables here, I'd be happy to throw it up.
Hit edit to see this code
| Cell 1 in Row 1 | Cell 2 in Row 1 |
| Cell 1 in Row 2 | Cell 2 in Row 2 |
Anything more complex and I'm sure people will come help edit and make your table prettier :) You can also hit edit on the House article to see that table if you want to immediately do something more complex without help. --Guppymomma 23:28, 19 August 2005 (PDT)
I don't have time right now, but the table could use lines to make it easier to read. So maybe change the style to the border collapsey kinda thingamabobber. --Guppymomma 20:55, 21 August 2005 (PDT)
Sorting
The columns should probably be sorted alphabetically. I'd do it myself, but I need to catch a flight in the morning. :-) --Barrister 01:31, 3 September 2005 (PDT)
- Good idea, and thanks, I probably should have done it myself, but the chart started out sorted by arch, and I never changed it over.
Almost done
AlpinePirate has almost finished the gem table. There's only 5 empty slots. --Barrister 15:29, 17 January 2006 (PST)
- Totally impressive! This reminds me, now that there are no image issues, I should upload the gems as the real names. --Guppymomma 15:49, 17 January 2006 (PST)
- Only one left! --AtteSmythe 14:24, 17 February 2006 (PST)
New Ocean gems
Gems are going to be spread to the other oceans soon, if the changes on Ice mean anything. Time to get ready, methinks. --Thunderbird 18:42, 2 April 2007 (PDT)
- If anyone has the time and the inclination, this article could use updating along with jade gems and jasper gems. Plus the gem template that's found on this page. I only had time to fix the article names & "rename" the images. --Guppymomma 20:55, 29 May 2007 (PDT)
- I quickly updated the gem list. A few thoughts: should we seperate out the viridian and cobalt ocean gems even though they're the same, so that we can colour the header sections appropriately? Should we remove jade and jasper from the other gems section, even though they've actually been used as event gems? --Diamondblade 22:43, 29 May 2007 (PDT)
- I propose to remove inhabited outposts from the tables, these islands won't be building markets, and so won't be expected to buy or sell gems. Chupchup 11:42, 27 June 2007 (PDT)
Gem Price Guide
Should the gem price guides be moved to show/hides? Maybe one for each ocean. -- Vorky 15:41, 30 May 2007 (PDT)
- It actually might be better to give those each their own subpage as they're pretty large. --Guppymomma 15:44, 30 May 2007 (PDT)
- Rolling out the new page now. Sashamorning 11:45, 31 May 2007 (PDT)
Gems do not spawn at outpost islands
I think it has been widely confirmed that gems do not spawn at outpost islands (i.e islands without a market), at least if we look at the gem price guide tables, all of the outposts have unknown data. I myself have been checking outpost islands in Sage since the gem update and nothing. Should we make a note about this and remove outpost islands from tables? If I get a confirmation I'll get right to it.--Cecidrake 22:44, 6 August 2007 (PDT)
- Petitioned to an OM. Answer was "gems can be foraged or bought at islands with markets". Cleaning up the tables would be very helpful and reduce the load of this page. Comments anyone? --Cecidrake 10:45, 7 August 2007 (PDT)
- I think the only table that doesn't have the non-market islands weeded out is the Hunter one because I just did a dump of the island list into a table for it when I didn't have the time to check for which ones had markets :) Feel free to remove the inappropriate island rows from it. --Guppymomma 11:01, 7 August 2007 (PDT)
- Excellent idea. --Chupchup 11:44, 7 August 2007 (PDT)
- Done done :). Sage, Viridian and Cobalt, besides Hunter had a bit of trimming too :P. --Cecidrake 11:48, 7 August 2007 (PDT)
Moonstone at hunter
Just discovered that Chachapoya sells moonstones for 660 poe. I have a print screen if ye guys want to check
Mass
What is the mass of a gem and I think you should add this infomation here
Rendering issue
At least in Firefox, I'm seeing rendering problems with the Malachite and Midnight tables. The price table overlaps the gem table and all the text jumbles together. I guess the easiest way to fix this is by adding {{clear}} templates. Don't know if that will be ugly. --Chupchup 08:48, 24 May 2008 (PDT)
- Looks fine to me using IE, and IE is the one that usually breaks things. I haven't been able to check Firefox, because the computer I normally use is... an ex-parrot. Does the problem occur only with the Malachite and Midnight tables? Malachite has a clear tag to force Midnight down, but for most of the rest, the island table is longer than the gem table, so they don't need it. Aside from that, there doesn't seem to be any code difference between any of the tables. I made the Malachite table by copying the Sage table and changing the table content, but not the code itself, so if Malachite is having a problem, then Sage ought to be as well. --Belthazar451 09:38, 24 May 2008 (PDT)
