Usage[edit]

This section describes how the Abundance template works. If you are looking for rules and guidelines on use, see FFXI:Drop Rate Policy.

{{Abundance|total items obtained|total attempts to obtain}}

• This template is used to collect and present rarity/abundance data. It is intended to collect data from multiple users and keep a running total (new results are added to the existing totals rather than replacing them), thus becoming more accurate over time.
• The template automatically displays the general rarity of the item using the following ranges:

Abundance	Range
Very Rare	0 - 5%
Rare	5 - 10%
Uncommon	10 - 15%
Common	15 - 20%
Very Common	20 - 100%

• The abundance is also displayed as a percent value after the text (in superscript) and the exact number of items obtained and attempts to obtain the item are displayed in the hovertext, as well as a message describing the data's current reliablity.
• If the data is too low to be considered reliable (less than 50 attempts), the abundance percent will be colored gray and will be displayed in place of the usual text.
• If the data is low, but not completely unreliable (less than 500 attempts), the abundance percent will simply be colored gray.
• "Map" (case-insensitive) can be used as the "number of items" value to display "Received if not previously obtained".
• "Quest" (case-insensitive) can be used as the "number of items" value to display "Received with quest active".
