Color Coding

Firstly, I apologise to Anemki for not realising that *spammyalt+2* indicated a joke. Thinking about it, I think it refers to mabi expression hotkeys? I don't know for sure, but I did not mean to be rude, just to point out something which I perceived as mean. I put a decent amount of effort into researching this issue (including looking up all four magic shields on JP wiki to see if I could just take their AP values), so it doesn't feel nice to get nothing besides complaints that I didn't do more. Especially since the previous comment said "If you find any errors, let me know.".

Secondly... you both still seem to think that laziness was my reason for not making the changes, despite my earlier explanation. In your case you are now claiming selective laziness, rather than believing that I may have had a different reason for my decision. I'll try and clarify:

My priority for wiki editing is accuracy, so I don't fix anything unless I know what the correct values are. Instead I prefer to flag the issue for investigation.

My concern here isn't that the numbers on the chart don't match the values on the skill pages, it's the possibility that the skill pages themselves might be wrong. I don't currently have a way to check that, so I was hoping that somebody who does (for example, someone who knows how to extract and read client XML) might investigate and determine for sure where the error is.

If I simply changed the numbers so they added up, that'd erase any sign there's a problem without necessarily giving us accurate values.

I don't think 'selective laziness' describes my approach. 'Cautious editing', perhaps? Call it over-cautious if you like, but I still think laziness is unfair for the effort I've put in so far.
