Wiki gear setup template is an opinion topic that Gnomonkey covers in 3 videos between 2024-05-12 and 2025-09-03. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.

Stats and numbers

  • The Soulreaper axe has only a 66 crush attack bonus versus 134 slash, and that Inquisitor's armour reduces slash by 3 on one piece and 2 on the helmet, for a total of -8 slash bonus in the setup.1

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says the K'ril Tsutsaroth wiki guide may be one of the worst he has come across, and the Skull sceptre recommendation makes him think ChatGPT autofilled these guides.2
  • Gnomonkey suggests the wiki should use a simple three-column High, Medium, Low loadout format on all boss pages instead of its messy, irrelevant charts.2
  • Gnomonkey says Yama's wiki page recommending anything below an Arclight is crazy because the Arclight is a free quest item, and that at some point you need to do quests or earn more GP before attempting certain encounters.3
  • Gnomonkey says the wiki setup suggestions on a new boss like Yama are often a hindrance, and hopes the wiki eventually sections setups into Ironman, Budget, Mid and Max.3
  • Gnomonkey argues that including downgrades below the Arclight on Yama's wiki setup implies they are usable and good when they are not, and extra information in the template can actively hinder players trying to gear up.4
  • Gnomonkey says even a scythe is something you should never use on Yama, and that the wiki listing downgrades below a scythe is an example of misleading extra information.4
  • Gnomonkey says the wiki templates mislead players who blindly follow them without understanding what is going on.5
  • Gnomonkey would like the wiki to work with Gearscape on a tool where players import their bank and get a setup that works for them, saying he could see it being implemented on the wiki.6
  • Gnomonkey says the wiki's downgrade charts lack context about the value of a given switch; for example, they list downgrading a fire cape to a Myth's cape with no indication that it is a terrible decision.7
  • Gnomonkey would like the wiki to replace its gear downgrade tables with a few setups per boss, such as max, mid and min budget, or Ironman max and min.8
  • Gnomonkey says the wiki's setup tables are the only black mark on the otherwise best wiki in all of gaming, and that they typically get better after he releases an episode of this series.9
  • Gnomonkey says he interprets the wiki's Muspah notes as literally as possible: the note that Inquisitor's armour is to be used only with a crush weapon applies to the Soulreaper axe because it has a crush option, while the Soulreaper axe is also noted to be used on slash.10
