Formatting updates/proposals on relic discussion threads going forward.

Discussion

Hail, all!

These will just be minor things, along with a request for feedback about these threads and how they can serve y'all's needs better.

  1. Changes in effect wording.

    • Imperil will be used for the status I had been calling oil. This will future-proof against silliness like "oil water" (but they don't mix?) and "oil holy" (anointing!).
    • Attach will be used for the status I had been calling enelement. This is the name used in the game code. (Update: It's been pointed out that En-{Element} is actually a canon name for this family of buffs, and "enspells" their collective name, in FF11 and FF13. So while annoying to some, there is precedent going for it.)
  2. The request for recurrence.
    It has been requested that I identify whether items "come back" in the future. I will be doing this, with a caveat: I won't be counting Fest Banners due to their tendency to change. The exception is W-Burst; because its items are tied to new additions to Record Dive, I have more confidence that those banners will be stable.
    Format feedback advice: would you like to see a recurrence column in the thread-start itself, or added to the specific notes?

  3. SB data formatting:
    I'm considering a general change to how I present this; I can either stick to what I normally do (slightly preferred), or change it to more resemble u/TFMurphy his enemy data formatting. Using Terra SSB as an example:

    • My style: (180% single Non magic per hit, 10 hits)
    • Murphy's: (NAT: 10 hits - 180% NonElem Magic Dmg)
  4. Anything else that you'd like me to consider, please leave comments.

Thanks all!

Addendum: Once this is worked out, there will be a FAQ/glossary thread made for the relic discussions, explaining terms, mechanics, and suchlike.
