Usage

Use in item changelogs for when an item gets its gold cost changed. Can be used for basic items, and for upgraded items which got the prices of their components and/or their recipe changed.

For item reworks, use Template:Item rework.

Symbol used for Items/Changelogs: + − ×

For basic items

{{Item cost change|old_value|new_value}}

Straight forward, just add the old cost as the first value, and the new cost as the second value.

For upgraded items

{{Item cost change
| change1 = 
| change2 = 
| change3 = 
| total = 
}}

There is no limit to how many changes can be listed.

The total must always be set, otherwise errors will appear.

Both, the old and new value are required. Put the old value first, then the new value. Values must be separated with a semicolon (;).
total = 2500,3000

Valid Entries

There are multiple different ways to define change#. In all cases, all values must be separated with a semicolon (;).
