Gold star crafted edibles

The table lists a gold star Oil of Garlic and Life Elixer as being a possible Cooked category items, with a value of 6, but Qi Seasoning doesn't activate when creating Oil of Garlic or Life Elixer through the crafting menu (they're not cooking menu items). Is this a mistake to leave the 6s in there or am I missing something? Electron.rotoscope (talk) 00:30, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Seems like a mistake to me, that ought to be removed from the page. margotbean (talk) 17:32, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Perferkt Score

Should a picture showing a display with 125 points achieved added to the page? If yes, next to the screen with 124 points or better in a Gallery section? I currently have a screenshot, Botautal (talk) 20:08, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

I think it's pretty clear from the text that the only change is to swap out iridium Fiddlehead Fern for an iridium vegetable that gives 8 points, which are listed in the sortable table. So, I don't think an image is necessary. I also don't want to have to try to fit it in the available space in 12 languages. ;) Thanks, though! margotbean (talk) 20:12, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Special Prices

I recently had a fair display with a Spring Onion and a Salmonberry in it. The score I got leads me to believe that Bear's Knowledge and Spring Onion Mastery both contribute to the score in a fair display. I'm not sure how to add that to the page. There could be a note, next to the note saying professions don't affect the score, but should there also be additional entries with the enhanced prices and scores for those items?

I don't see where it says profession bonuses don't affect sell price, I see where it says they do affect sell price, but are not included on the page. margotbean (talk) 23:03, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Are you talking about this sentence?: "Note: Profession bonuses (which affect in-game sell prices) are not included in the calculations on this page." If so, that sentence should be clarified. Since the calculations on this page are calculating your score, I always took it to mean that they were not included in your score. Something like, "Note: Profession bonuses are not included on this page, but they do affect your score." Or rather, "Note: Profession bonuses, Bear's Knowledge, and Spring Onion Mastery are not included on this page, but they do affect your score." Zendowolf (talk) 23:20, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Yes, that's the sentence I was referring to, and I agree, it could be made more clear. 👍 margotbean (talk) 23:22, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Spinning Wheel bets

On the page, it's written that according to the Kelly criteria, you should bet 50% of you money... But If you compute it, it's 0.75 - (0.25 / 2) = 62.5%, which is more than just half--Ishigh (talk) 11:44, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

It's not my area of expertise, but it appears the calculation was "simplified for the case of doubling a bet." (2 * Probability of Winning) - 1 comes out to 50%. margotbean (talk) 14:24, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Lost and Found Box

Would it be feasible to put a 1.5 spoiler where there are mentions of 1.5 things? Lost and Found was added in 1.5 and I play on mobile. I just wanna help someone else not make my mistake of having a false sense of security. RIP to my second Prismatic Shard. TexWashington (talk) 06:56, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

I'm really sorry that happened to you! I've added another spoiler box to the section regarding the lost and found box. I don't think anyone expected the mobile v1.5 update to take a whole year, but here we are. Future advice: read the history sections of relevant pages to avoid another catastrophic loss! Again, so sorry that happened! margotbean (talk) 19:15, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
