Editing Talk:Acolyte (section)

== Contributor Guidelines ==
This section explains how to edit and update this class page. Please follow these conventions so information remains consistent across all class guides.

Note that you are more than welcome to break these guidelines at anytime if it will make the page better!

=== Using Templates ===
Most of the page is powered by '''template inserts'''. When you edit the page, you’ll see code blocks like "<nowiki>TemplateName | Parameter = Value</nowiki>".  

* When you fill in a parameter, the template will automatically format and display it in the page (e.g., adding stats, maps, or skills).  
* If you leave a parameter blank, the field will not display.  
* Example:  

 {ClassInfoBox
 | Role = Healing, Support
 | Weapons = Book
 | STR = 1
 | AGI = 1
 | VIT = 9
 | INT = 12
 | DEX = 9
 | LUK = 1
 }}

This automatically generates the right-side class overview box.

=== Section Purposes ===
* Description – Short lore and gameplay summary. Only change this if the class identity completely changes. 
* General Skills – Shared skills available to all classes (populated by the `GeneralSkillInfoBox`).  
* Class Skills (Active / Passive) – Unique skills for the class. Please update anything you see that is incorrect.
* Leveling Sections (Early, Mid, Late, Endgame) – Guidance for players at different stages, including recommended maps, stat allocation, and tips. Please add, change, or remove anything you wish in these sections to help new players.
* Recommended Gear – Table created by `RecommendedItemInfoBox`, listing weapons, armor, accessories, artifacts, and card slots.  
* Tips and Tricks – Miscellaneous advice that doesn’t fit elsewhere.  
* Additional Guides – Links to external or detailed build pages. These are separate pages that can be added by any user if they have unique builds they wish to showcase. 

=== Linking Examples ===
* Database Items: Use external links where needed. Example: 
 <nowiki> 
 [https://spiritvale.info/equipment?search=Tome+of+the+First+Hymn Tome of the First Hymn] 
 </nowiki>  
* Wiki Links: Use double brackets. Example:  
 <nowiki> 
 [[Attributes#Intelligence_(INT)|INT]]  
 </nowiki> 
* Icons + Links: Combine image + link. Example:
 <nowiki>   
 [[File:HolyIcon.png|15px]] [[Elements#Holy|Holy]] 
 </nowiki> 

=== General Editing Notes ===
* Keep formatting consistent: this will help make the wiki easier to read, and easier to fix later.  
* Use line breaks (`<nowiki><br/></nowiki>`) inside template cells when multiple entries are needed (e.g., modifiers or cards).  
* If unsure of exact numbers (damage %, scaling, etc.), leave the field blank rather than guessing — others can fill it later.  

=== Suggestions for Contributors ===
* When adding new maps for leveling, make sure to briefly describe enemy types and mechanics.  
* When listing stat priorities, always use icons + links (e.g., `[[File:Intelligence.png|15px]] [[Attributes#Intelligence_(INT)|INT]]`).  
* When expanding Tips & Tricks, focus on unique mechanics, such as cool and unusual tricks, or things you wish you had know when selecting the class.
