This seems more appropriate as an article than a category so I made an article for it. Good idea. :) -- Sekoia 02:04, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

My preference actually would be to have both. IMO the two pages (my original and Sekoia's rework) fulfill distinct needs; a category would be a clickable list of everything in the category of minimal length, and an article would give full factual detail and be longer. Is that OK with people, two pages? --Colonel Jasmine 20:00, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Normally, rarity applies at the individual Recipe level, not at the set level. So we have categories for the different types of rarities/drops that the individual recipes go in. These sets are unique in that the Very Rare status applies to all recipes in the set -- normally, a set has various rarities. I'm inclined to think that we should continue classifying the individual recipes by rarity, and not the sets. But, I'm not opposed to doing them the other way for these. Just need to update the templates and calls for them so they remain standardized. They kinda muck up our system, hehe. -- Sekoia 07:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't think intro is 100% correct

Very Rare IO Sets are IO sets that only drop at level 50 and can only be slotted at level 50.

Very Rare IO Sets will drop from anything that drops level 50 common recipies. A low level hero/villian can SK up to level 48, defeat a level 49 enemy and still receive a very rare IO recipe.

Fixed! -- Sekoia 21:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Drop

And they drop from... what again? - Skarmory The PG 15:15, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

They drop from anything which cons as an enemy which is defeated by you or your party, which is level 50 or higher. Sera404 23:00, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
This is incorrect. They can drop from anything that a level 50 character can get rewards from, which means level 47 minions, level 46 lts, etc. Anything that can drop a generic level 50 IO can drop a purple. -- Aggelakis 02:08, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Only 50 / Consistency

On each page on which a VR Recipe is discussed, there is a divbox which contains 2 icons, one is a Villain L50 Badge, and another is a Hero L50 Badge. Conspicuously lacking is the L50 Praetorian Badge... which would make that box over-cluttered IMO. With that being the case (already excluding a badge) wouldn't it make more sense to simply remove the Villain L50 badge symbol and ONLY use the Hero one since it is round and more consistent visually with the other symbols used in those divboxes? Just a thought.

Speaking of conistency, and those divboxes, why is it that all of the boxes aside from the Unique and L50 boxes use the format of: First line name, second line description? Shouldn't the Unique and L50 Only boxes ALSO use the two line format? Or should all of them be convereted to a one line format with a title a colon and then the description?--Thirty7 21:09, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
