award: the contract or achievement that gives you the item

limit: # you are awarded

award_required_by: if the award is required by another contract/achievement I have noticed that there are some items that are awarded multiple time from different contracts. Can the limit field or award handle multiple entries? Likewise some items are used in multiple contracts so we will need to be able to put multiple entries in the required by field as well. Now had I bothered to read the entire thread before commenting I would have noticed that Pella already covered this topic.

COST That seems to be a more challangeing obstical. I agree with the basic idea that nobody is going to want to enter the cost multiple times. Give that this is going to be a new template we certainlly can creat a new cost entry struture. My quick thought would be a sturucture similar to the original one "amt1 =, etc." and an additional field of "SamComplete = Yes or No". Given those parameters would the information be clean enough to allow the template to do all the math?

Nitpicking :) I like the idea of maintaining consistancy with the game. Again since it is a new template using Reward inplace of Award is a good idea. I don't think we immediately need to go back and revert the entire site, we can handle that at a later time.

As for purchases, I would lean more toward Gem and Material or even Gem, Material and Gold since that will make it very obvious the parameters we are looking for. Again, we can establish the standard in this template and worry about converting the rest of the site at a later date. Not ideal but makes it a more bite size managable task.
