Could someone explain what's up with the stats? Coding seems alrite...—Kaimi (999,999 CP/5 TP) 22:38, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

		The stats for each weapon are copied directly from excel tables I made to do all the calculations for me. (Though it still took quite a bit of work to gather the initial data in-game from which everything else was extrapolated, and a lot of additional work to check and confirm the calculations worked correctly. But that is going off on a tangent...) :) Anyways, it is actually much more tedious than it would seem on the surface to format those lists of stats into the proper table cells, and with computer issues, new job, living, etc. it just hasn't been a priority. The way to apply the formatting is just slightly counter-intuitive because HTML draws rows before columns; thus someone who was trying to help already attempted to do part of the work on the Axis Blade stats by arranging them for me, but the order they re-arranged the stats into actually wouldn't be correct if I (or someone else) then applied the code to make each stat into it's proper individual table cell. I've changed that list of stats back to the correct order, but haven't applied the formatting to that particular weapon's stats yet. In any case, I spent all the time making my excel sheets and all the time developing the best table format to display them here on the wiki and I will get around to finishing them eventually! I am going to try and do one or two weapons at a time right now since I don't have much free time, but don't worry, it will be awesome when I finish all of them for all the characters! (And after I do that I will eventually turn on the game again and finish figuring out the components gained from dismantling all the ★ level weapons and input that final data.) :)

Are these subpages of the main list of weapons really necessary?-- Technobliterator ^T_C 21:00, May 16, 2015 (UTC)

		I originally created the experience tables in excel to help me make opportunity cost decisions on which weapons to focus on leveling up first. I couldn't find guides with the specific data I was looking for, so I had to generate it myself. The data is useful to moderate to advanced players that want to reach certain goals without wasting too much materials/money (which can be a real pain to grind for in this game), but it is far too much information to put detail for every weapon for every character on a single page. People that just want the summary can go to the main page, and those who want the extras can go to the subpages.
