New
- You can now create subpages of pages, useful for creating translations of patch notes

Maybe a clean up for some pages? Especially the guides page, for example there's a category for "Dragons" and "Dragon". The only difference between the 2 is the other one has a letter 's'. Other than that, keep up the good work!
Why not merge/upgrade the right sidebar, some of it into one widget. Having a widget that features Events Now, Events Ended and Upcoming Events - this will be really very handy, and encourage user interaction. Like this.
I'd like to see some more tweaks to the styles of the headers--specifically, the font in H4 seems to be larger than H3--maybe not a larger point size, but the letters rendered to the screen are slightly larger, whatever the reason.
Just to make sure I wasn't imagining it, I screencapped a couple of headers from my Leaderboards guide and compared some letters in an image editor, and the lowercase e is 1 pixel taller and two pixels wider in H4, while the lowercase n is 1 pixel taller but the same width. (Results may vary by browser and OS!)
In any case, I find it harder to recognize the organization structure of a document when different header levels have similar font sizes, and I think it would clean up the appearance of various articles if this got tidied up!
This is an easy one for me: Create an overall or main discord/ts chat for Trove. Many players have mics and need questions answered.
you should add more images to mods, some still have only one, other (minimal)thing to do is when you are changing your chat icon it should have a button to a site where have all the images of itens/blocks/anyway and below the code(ex:equipment_helm_radiantlord) it was pretty hard to me to do this first time
The only suggestion I would make is to continue adding more information to the individual pages on how to get certain unlocks. I noticed you've been adding such texts quite a lot, and that's great, but if I were to go to the Allies page for example there would be a lot of allies with effects or methods of obtaining them yet.
Some unlocks aren't very hard to figure out, but things like the Porter Potty really do require an explanation or guide of sorts. I know that this is a long and rather tedious job for you, but the way I see it it's the only way to improve on the site.
That and perhaps a disclaimer indicating when something is not yet released on the live servers and may be subject to change. I saw a neon ray mag rider which I don't recall seeing anywhere yet. I figured it's a file on the testing server but as it is now there's no confirmation for those who are wondering.
Perhaps write a system in which other people can contribute such information like a wikia, which doesn't immediately change the page but requires you to either confirm or delete the proposed changes. I don't know if this is viable or not, or if you can just assign certain rights to people willing to write this info for you, but such a system would make it a lot easier for you since you won't need to write all of the methods of acquisition yourself.
Those points aside, just keep up the great work you've been doing!
The website is clear and it's easy to find what you're looking for. Thank you Trovesaurus.
I think the site is perfect right now, but...i like to see some changes in design, the actual are too Trove and too little Saurus D:
I think there should be more contest options for in game. Too many Art based themes which some of us who are not skilled or dont have the time never attend. Possibly some Contests for screenshots of dropped items you have found, or maybe some funny contests like. Who can capture the funniest picture of a Streamer.
Would be nice to be able to navigate through guides more easily ( Maybe if each type of guide "Farming, Flux, etc" directed to a link with the guides in it, instead of showing every guide under each tab )
Also, spreadsheets deserve some love, maybe removing the oldest ones, and (even though things like that should be made by players 4 players) there could be an "universal" and updated spreadsheet made by the trovesaurus team.
Oh, and the gems page. Even though it's great to have a page dedicated for gems, c'mon, its extremely hard to find anything useful there. First, in the main gem page, there should be a guide explaining how each gem levels , min-max pr, stuff like that, and THEN there could be links wich redirects to a page with every gem of some kind (Class/ Water/ Fire... or maybe Class/ Offensive/ Defensive...)
I think would be good if certain itens descriptions like flasks and emblens could be edited by normal ppl. There's a lot of itens with no descriptions added. If we could send descriptions to the staff to be avaliated or something like that would complement the site.
Eisier navigation. couldnt find the database anywhere. also a =n eisier to wya set profile photo.
I think you should fix all the lags when theres a daily challenge and everyone just tp, my game literally freezes for 1 minute and sometimes crashes.
I think it would be a good idea to improve the pages of items so that they say where they are from.
Fix or help with the servers because we get really bad rendering speed of the map and laggy plays like getting send back in time into the position u were at before. I have a Gtx 980M and i7 desktop. So it probably isn't my laptop because many of my friends experience the same thing! Thanks for reading!
Create a neat spreadsheet of the xp needed to lvl up, total xp needed to lvl 20, 30 etc.
There is already a Forum thread about it but creating one here would mean that more people would see it (since it's relativly hard to find a thread back from Dec 2015.
Here is the thread: http://forums.trovegame.com/showthread.php?108112-Anyone-have-a-link-to-an-XP-chart&highlight=experience
Thanks, I saw this and did post something: https://www.trovesaurus.com/page=1777/class-experience-level-list
Make leeching during the hourly challenges/zerg rushes less rewarding than actually helping with doing the dungeons.
i wish you can give some like incentives for returning players like some good rewards that can help them catch up max level players. I'm one of those and it's really hard to catch up especially everything is very expensive now :<
Class description could use a bit more organizing. There are a lot of class description with duplication and sometimes missing details.
Could you add an "approximate droprate" to some items? Like Radiant Steed, Heart of darkness, Cummulus ...
With like x% to be the rare drop of this chesttype, approximately x boxes must be opened to get that. Would make farming alot easyer. (also maybe a possible statroll calculato for gems, like how many gems do i need to farm to get one with exactly these stats?)
You should try making a Looking For Raid type of thing for the ST, the seeker would type in his Class, PR and what boss he wants to clear.
i think you should add a shadow tower section, which will show what type of dungeons will be in what shadow towers for the week. it will make it easier in choosing the fastest tower to farm
I think there should be a section with player suggestions for the devs. The thing is, personally I feel they don't check out their player's opinions often enough. This could allow more communication between the devs and players.
equipment rolls,
- pictures? visauls helps alot!
- I tend to think of it as equipment stats (to me that's more intuitive), a linking from that search might be helpful.
- rings to be added to the list.
- making a list by the stat (we can only answer so many times where magic find goes) aswell as by the equipment.
What about adding some chosen in-game items and/or faces in here that could be entered and used in any comment ? Something like Twitch chat, you enter a command and it'll change the text to an emoji. The chat would look much funkier and I guess people would like it and find many funny ways to use it. This community is pretty creative ^^
Perhaps a way to edit comments? (Unless I'm blind and can't figure out how!)
Users could also have a few default profile icons to choose from (could range from the character classes, various mount/enemy icons, etc) if they're having trouble setting up their own. Maybe even a combination of default choices, and then the option to choose your own through a link directly underneath?
As an after-thought, pages could include a button to make the icon their profile picture by forcibly assigning the image file's name to their Chat Icon section. Though, I'm not in Web Development so I'm not sure on how feasible a minor quality of life change would be on time. Honestly, not a huge concern really!
One thing I'd like to see would be a page commenting on various synergies between classes, as well as different combos of 8 classes for sts.
i dont know what its called, but new tab little symbol at the top of the website thing ugh idk lol
I recommend adding a thing where people can redeem each other's referal codes so they can get them way easier. Plus I also want the friend referal dragon. :P
I would like to see a a marketplace with a search bar and you can select an item and it will show the seller so you can contact them.
Could you maybe add some sort of referral code system where everyone has a referral code and if they recommended a friend if they type they're code in both of them would receive some sort of small reward. Thanks!
Trovesaurus should get a full on marketplace which shows every item thats being sold on trove at the moment, Yes it probably would be to big of a update but you could have stats for averages of certain items or what the best deal is and stuff like that.
I think that will be great IF you guys implement to website scrit what will allow connect this website account Wirth Trove account and thx this we was able to see on each item that is on our collection in game without opening game itself. Ruch a thing will help for many in future website contest's.
A build page that works like the character's menu in trove, showing the gear/allies/flasks/emblems/gems with its description and hot to get, it would me much more practical and intuitive
maybe implement the latest post or two from the dev tracker on the side similar to the news...
I'd like to be able to change my Trovesaurus ID to my in-game name. I'm still listed here under my own real name (which I had to register on the site with through Google+ when the login system was through that instead of E-mail)
Information on how to obtain certain items is still missing in many places. Additionally, you should display that information not only on the overview page where all items of the same category are listed, but also on the items' pages themselves. Like you already do with craftables.
The Trovesaurus API is returning the under construction image for all the preview images currently
More original contests like the baking one! That was awesome last time so more ideas like that would be sweet
I don't know if comments in pages of the database are fixed, if not, it could be a good option because when anybody comment any page appeared in all of that, as a general chat for a lot of pages. For example, when I have a question about prism of light, another person aswered about another thing because he saw that comment in the incorrect page.

It'll be great if all classes had a "home page" like that, usefull for beginners and people who are kinda lost with their gems stats
- Commenting and voting once again no longer triggers a page reload
I prefer commenting to trigger a page reload or at least update the comment section with your new comment after you click Submit.
I'm surprised that the "Gems! How do they work! guide isn't one of the most popular. I'm guessing its in the top 10 though. That could probably use an appearance update also.
What i would like, it's an access to our market without to need to enter in the game XD, maybe in this site, just an access to our market and inventory and can check the "sales" and renew them. I don't know if it's possible, but in other games we can do this via app or site web.
A page that lists/saves the weekly rotation of Chaos Chests top loots and contests.
*Not sure if Im the only one who wants this but I see this to be very helpful*
Maybe you could fix the contest voting system. Just saying cause people want that back.
