Overview

Displays data about Perks, Cornerstones, and other effects based on search parameters and exclusions. There are a few ways the data can be displayed.

Parameters

All parameters are optional. If no parameters are given, a table of all 300+ Perks will be displayed, showing their icon and name linking to the Perk's page, descriptions, rarity, sources, and price when purchased from a trader.

Selection, Filtering, and Exclusion

You may combine the first three parameters to return more Perks. The result will be the union of your selections, without duplicates. Then use exclude to remove any Perks that are unrelated to your purposes with their IDs or filter by rarity or source.

Remember that IDs are not visible int he game, so you may need to look them up first.

Parameter Description
id A list of IDs of Perks, Cornerstones, and effects, separated by commas. Since IDs are unique, each matched ID adds exactly one Perk to the table. Will not throw an error if an ID is invalid.
name Searches names for this string, and adds Perks with any part of their names matching that string to the table.
description Searches descriptions for this string, and adds Perks with any part of their descriptions matching that string to the table.
rarity Filters any Perks found by the first search parameters by the specified rarity. Does not throw an error if you misspell the term; here are the correct options:
  • Uncommon
  • Rare
  • Epic
  • Legendary
  • Mythic
source Filters any Perks found by the first search parameters by the specified source. Does not throw an error if you misspell the term; here are the correct options:
  • Altar (the Forsaken Altar)
  • Cornerstone
  • Order
  • Relic (from Glade Events)
  • Trader
exclude A list of IDs, separated by commas, that will be excluded from the display. Will not throw an error if an ID is invalid.

Output Overrides

These parameters allow you to customize the appearance of the results.

Parameter Default Description
caption "Perks and Cornerstones" Captions are calculated automatically based on your search and filtering criteria. However, if you want to override the default caption for the table, you can specify it here.
show_id hidden Use show_id=show if you want to show a first column in the table that shows the ID of the Perk. (In list or inline display, the ID is shown in parentheses after the Perk's name.)
show_rarity shown Use show_rarity=no if you want to hide the rarity column from the table. (In list or inline display, the rarity is never shown.)
show_description shown Use show_description=no if you want to hide the description column from the table. (In list or inline display, the description is never shown.)
skip_sources not skipped Use skip_sources=skip if you want a table that skips the section of five columns indicating the sources of the Perk. This breaks from the naming convention of the other parameters because the template logic is different.

If you want to hide individual columns to make comparisons easier, see below, but take note of two things: (1) in list or inline display, sources are never shown and (2) if you hide all of the source columns individually, without skipping the sources section, the table headings will become misaligned.

show_source_altar shown Use show_source_altar=no to hide the Forsaken Altar source column.
show_source_cornerstone shown Use show_source_cornerstone=no to hide the Cornerstone source column.
show_source_order shown Use show_source_order=no to hide the Order source column.
show_source_relic shown Use show_source_relic=no to hide the Glade Event Relic source column.
show_source_trader shown Use show_source_trader=no to hide the Trader source column.
show_price shown Use show_price=no to hide the price column from the table. (In list or inline display, the price is never shown.)
display a table For use when including these Perks inside other tables or within paragraphs, the display parameter condenses the output to just the links to the pages on each Perk:
  • Use display=list to convert the table layout into a basic bulleted list with simple links and no icons.
  • Use display=inline to convert the table into an inline list of links, separated by commas, also with no icons.
list_type bullet When displaying as a list instead of a table, you can specify list_type=number to show the list as a numbered list instead.

Errors

No results from search

If you specify parameters intending to select or search for terms, sometimes there is no result. This can be because you misspelled an id, rarity name, or source name or asked for a search term that was no present in any name or description—or ultimately excluded every item that was found. In this situation, the template, will instead render a plain-text message that nothing was found. (This error display is used for all display modes, table, list, or inline.)

{{Perks
|id=IDs are easy to misspell
}}

Yields: No matching Perks found.

Table Examples

Selecting Perks by their IDs

{{Perks
|id=Accidental Barrels
}}

Yields:

1 Perk with ID 'Accidental Barrels'

Trade Logs Trade Logs Epic Detailed notes on different traders and their wares. Gain 1 additional active trade route slot. Traders will arrive 25% quicker. x Cor Ord x Tra 28

Searching names and descriptions

The following example shows searching the same term in both name and description, but you could search different things in each field or use only one and not the other.

{{Perks
|name=blightrot cyst
|description=blightrot cyst
}}

Yields:

5 Perks named 'blightrot cyst' and mentioning 'blightrot cyst'
Name Rarity Description Sources Price
Alt Cor Ord Rel Tra

Blight Filter Blight Filter Legendary A crystalline filter designed to mitigate the negative environmental impact of infused rainwater. Blightrot Cysts appear 50% slower when using rain engines, but Reputation from Resolve is generated 90% slower for the next 2 Reputation Points. x Cor x x x 0

Filtering by rarity or source

Rarity and source are filters, not selectors. If you do not select any Perks by id, name, or description, then the entire list of Perks is returned. If you then specify a rarity or source, the results are then filtered to your selections. For example, if the term you searched for in the description returns 20 Perks, but you only filter to source=trader, then only a few of those Perks that match the description will be displayed, the ones that can be purchased from traders.

{{Perks
|description=amber
|source=trader
}}

Yields:

2 Perks from Traders and mentioning 'amber'
Name Rarity Description Sources Price
Alt Cor Ord Rel Tra
Blood Price Contract Blood Price Contract Epic A shady, but lucrative deal. Gain 10 Amber Amber every time a villager dies or leaves. x Cor x x Tra 29
Lucky Charm Lucky Charm Rare A strange talisman made from an extremely rare gemstone - blue Amber. Grants 1 additional cornerstone reroll charge. x x x x Tra 20


You can also filter by rarity instead of source. For example, if the term you searched for in the description returns 20 Perks, but you only filter to rarity=Legendary, then only 6 Legendary Perks that match the description will be displayed, the ones with that rarity.

{{Perks
|description=amber
|rarity=legendary
}}

Yields:

8 Legendary Perks and mentioning 'amber'

Trade Hub Trade Hub Legendary The settlement is known for being a major trade hub in the region. Gain 1 Reputation Point every time you sell goods worth 60 Amber, but fulfilling Orders awards 50% less Reputation. x Cor x x x 0


In these examples, you can see that filtering by both rarity and source may result in nothing that meets all of your criteria.

{{Perks
|description=amber
|rarity=legendary
|source=trader
}}

Yields: No matching Perks found.

Skipping source columns

Compare the following table with the one above. If the sources are not as relevant to your purposes, but the descriptions are (and they usually are), then you may want to skip the entire section of the table on sources with skip_sources=skip.

{{Perks
|description=amber
|rarity=legendary
|skip_sources=skip
}}

Yields:

You can also skip individual columns. For example, none of the following "Delivery Line" Perks are available from the Forsaken Altar or from traders, so we can safely hide those columns without hiding valuable information from the reader.
