Forgot to describe what I edited before publishing, unsure how to fix, apologies

This blog post is for anyone who sees my edit of the Guidance for Scribes page, there was a sentence talking about Guilds in the present tense, which I changed to past tense. I tried going back to add a description of the change I made and can't figure out how and I think when I tried it counted as another edit, so I'm posting this instead. I will be extra careful not to make this mistake in the future.

Intro!

Hi! I'm hoping to do some casual contributing to the Habitica Wiki, so as my first official action in our Wiki community I felt I should take advice from the Guidance for Scribes page and introduce myself!

My name's Desmond, I'm 22, I use he/him pronouns, and I've been using Habitica on and off since about 2016. I didn't really have a lot going on in my life back then since I was in early high school (I actually think that account might be very much gone), but as an adult I have way more to keep track of so it's been a great way to get all the lists out of my head. I have all standard pets and mounts and am working towards collecting all the rest.

The main ways I use Habitica are to keep track of household tasks and self care tasks. I'm auti…

Loss of Habitica guilds and Tavern: Discussion of implications for scribes

Hello, all! I was really reluctant to make this announcement, because I know people hate seeing notifications on their Wikia/Fandom account for announcements (especially if they're not particularly active editors for the wiki in question), but this felt too important. Therefore, I decided to draw extensive attention to it in order to bring more eyes and potential discussion surrounding it. (I did this via both an announcement for recent editors of the wiki, as well as a dismissable sitenotice that displays for all visitors.)

As I am sure many know by now, guilds and the Tavern are going away effective August 8 (that's today!), and alongside this, many contributor types, including wiki editing (scribes) are no longer going to be considered f…

Edited by Unknown

I edited Adapting Habitica for Anxiety and Depression today and saved the edit before realizing that I was not signed in. So The revision history shows:

> 12:58, 2022 October 20‎ 216.147.122.232 23,245 bytes −142‎ Removed two external links that no longer worked.

I think it is odd that being logged in is not a requirement for editing. I understand that it allows anyone to make a quick fix without the burden of having an account. That can certainly lower the barrier to getting helpful edits from people. Yet, at the same time, it is nice to know who edited what.

Anyway, today, I played the part of an Unknown Editor. =)

Critiquing pixel art for Habitica: formalities

Hello!

If you are reading this, you might be interested in helping out the team of volunteer pixel artists polish their art and get it game-ready. Everyone is free join the process and donate their time and artistic expertise, even if they're not a pixel artist per se – though in order to provide helpful criticism, it is important to know the restrictions that are specific to pixel art made for Habitica. That is why this first entry deals with the formalities of posting pixel art for critique.

Introduction

Hello everyone,

My name is Connor and I have been a Habitican since 2019! It was such a great help in graduate school; I somehow maintained a full-time job, a teaching assistantship, a full-time class schedule, and a relationship with my wonderful partner! After grad school, I took a much needed break from Habitica. I associated it so closely with my academics and I wanted to take a deliberate break.

I hopped back into Habitica at the beginning of 2022. Habitica is currently helping me be take care of my mind, body, spirit, and home. Right now, I'm taking part in a group called The Completionists. Our goal is to complete all the quests and get all the of the armor, pets and mounds. Since Habitica has done some much for me, I want to give back …

Finally!

It's funny how the last time I put up a blog post was a little over a year ago, lamenting a lack of focus. Where I thought I'd never get that elusive Wiki Hero badge -- the one where you make an edit 365 days in a row?


I made it. It can be done. After so many years of messing up in the 200s, I finally got all the way across the finish line.

I might be playing Habitica less, but I set aside time every day for a year to check through the latest changes, and if there wasn't anything to edit, I picked on a random page to poke at. It's been interesting stumbling across stuff I wouldn't have seen otherwise, and noticing how not-so-random the random page browser is.

I had a lot more just plain old checkins than I would have liked; but the Wiki is s…

Time for a change!

"New year, new chance" - although every day is a chance for change, bigger date changes seem to be more inspiring.

As my time, energy and concentration are limited, I want to use them where they make the biggest difference. I realized that while I can maintain a lot of duties, I am better when I am focused.

So instead of starting new, additional activities, I want to stop with some to get more out of the remaining actions.

I will not translate news from the past any longer. I never got any feedback that this was good for anything. The added value is doubtable at best.

  • There is no streak of consecutive days of editing in the Wiki that I need to maintain.
  • What counts is having the current news translated when they come in.

365 Day Editing Challenge

I've seen a lot of people start a blog post whenever they begin an editing streak attempt, and I've never been one for originality, so hi!

I guess this is just another form of accountability, except now I'm leaving evidence that I'm bad at planning ahead. So if someone sees this post and also sees that I've failed to complete it, you can comment some motivation or just laugh at me - either works!

Have a good day :)

How I use Habitica

I use Habitica to keep me on track with the stuff I have to do every day. Here's how I do it.


  • 1 Habits
  • 2 Dailies
  • 3 To Dos
  • 4 Rinse and repeat


Most of my Habits come from the D&D guild and you can read about their Dungeons & Dailies Challenge there. I am presenty working on the Goblin Cave 1 adventure. I have another one from the Metalheads guild. Obviously, I don't really use Habits as intended.


Dailies and To Dos are where I do my work. My Dailies are things I absolutely have to do periodically -- daily, weekly, or whatever. Things that I cannot let slip without consequences to my physical/mental health or the functioning of my household. I have to take my medications. I have to feed my dogs. If I don't exercise, that affects my mood negatively. I fe…

Hi Everyone!

Hi there!

This is my first Habitica Wiki user blog post. :) I am learning how editing the Wiki works so that I can continue to help out the awesome community of Habitica. So far, I have learned a little about how to edit pages using the source editor, add pixel art (that has been set into Habitica) to the Wiki and update the Pixel Art Credits pages to help keep them up-to-date. I am still learning how things work with the Wiki so if you want to share any tips and tricks with me I am all ears.

Hope you have a great day!

My journey to "Wiki Hero!"

This a my way of logging my progress towards the "Wiki Hero!" badge - 365 continuous days of contribution to the Wiki. Can I do it?


My newest update will be at the top, and the oldest one will be at the bottom. For dates I will use this format: "yyyy/mm/dd".


2021/05/25 I lost my streak at 43 days. Back to day 1!

2021/05/10 Earned the "Devoted" - badge for 30 continuous days of contribution to the Wiki! The daily editing / translation is beginning to become a routine and it doesn't feel that hard anymore. At least for the current moment... Most of the days (especially after work) my energy level only allows me to do tiny edits (translating is hard work on the brain), but every small step counts!

It was nothing too big to begin with; I'm only on the 60 days achievement, but I felt proud of it nonetheless. However, yesterday I didn't get a chance to do anything, so the streak is now back to 1. Hurrah. Hopefully, I can get a better run this time (maybe even set it as a daily o.O)

A Distinct Lack of Focus

I've been here editing the blog since 2014. You would think that by this time, six years later and change, I'd be able to put together a coherent streak of one year worth of edits.

But I've missed my daily edit -twice- this week. There's a LOT going on my life right now, and when that happens, even an alarm doesn't help. It's not even the Demon of Procrastination -- just that momentary lapse of 'hang on, interruption, gotta respond to this email from the flood coming in that day'.

I think the older I get the more prone I am to being distracted and nonfocused, and perhaps this is a sign of not being as sharp as I used to be. Or low blood sugar being a factor. Or not enough sleep.

There are many things that it could be, and stubbornness d…

An Introduction

There was a period today where I was really bored. School was over for the day, and my dad had blocked peacock, the one streaming service I used to watch Psych. Since I had planned on watching few episodes, I had nothing to do. So, being the "instant gratification"  person I am, I decided to go online and look up things I could do to kill time. However, while scrolling through the "education" section of one of the websites I had clicked on, there was one suggestion that I liked: Habitica. What is Habitica? Well, I'm lazy, so I'll just put the Wikipedia description. "Habitica, formerly HabitRPG, is an online task management application run by HabitRPG, Inc. Unlike most task management programs, Habitica takes the form of a role-playing game…

A little bit about me!

I’m mainly making this blog post for the badge, as I’m a bit of a completionist and this (unearned) badge has been bugging me for about a year.

I’ve been wiki editing occasionally for just over a year and a half. As a guild leader, I’m responsible for maintaining The Keep:Pixel Power. I’ve used this account to keep track of all my edits. Most of my edits take place at the start of the month, when I add the new challenges, remove the old ones and update the winner’s tables. Looking back to when I started, our Keep Page has come a long way.

In Habitica I have earned Contributor Tiers as an Artisan and Challenger. I don’t currently plan on becoming a Scribe, but I will happily offer my assistance to any Scribes who need it when it comes to upda…

Being a Linguistic Scribe in Korean

After many years of procrastinating, I have now started adding Korean translations to wiki.

Of course, I should finish the main site translation first...

We now have a nice discussion guild with several capable translators though, so maybe I can let them work for now while I just approve as a reviewer... XD

Feel free to ding me up if there are backed up strings waiting for approval!

Hmmm... new format...

Okay, it looks like we've been migrated over. The good news is that blog posts got pulled over as well as the notes that went with them. The (bad?) news is that things have changed.... so it doesn't hurt to go poking around to see what might look different than it did before. One of those things is a new visual editor, which also has a Source Editor if you use the dropdown at the top.

I foresee interesting times ahead.

3 Months (about) Using Habitica

I first used Habitica a couple of years ago. I played with my family and didn't do any contributing or anything like that. That account is now long lost but I hope to get it back so I can look back at how I used Habitica a couple of years ago.

Fast forward a couple of years. I was in quarantine and I couldn't get anything done. All I mostly did was play video games. I was extremely un-motivated. Then I remembered Habitica. I remembered how fun it was and then created another account. It actually really helped me get motivated.

After a month I decided I wanted to give back to the community. I started with being a Socialite. Seemed like the easiest thing to do. No submission and no signup. I realized it wasn't so easy. But I kept on doing it a…

...that's a lot of archiving work to do...

If I'm reading the migration info right, blogs as we know them are going away when the Wiki gets converted to the new format.  I see complaints about them vanishing with their notes without a trace. 

I have blogs going back to 2014, 15 pages worth, to archive and save, apparently.... 


The best way to save your blog posts is to Print them as PDFs -- you won't get all the banner bits and the navigation bits, but you will lose all your comments.  Those may need to be copy-pasted into a file manually.

If anyone has a script that can archive blog posts, I'd love to know...

Talking about color (1)

I did some more experimenting, and just wanted to share and start a discussion about how we use color in our art! I use the free program Krita, and this is what my color picker looks like:


  • Hue refers to the position on the color wheel and is what we mean we when say the names of the colors in everyday life: red, green, blue, yellow…
  • Saturation refers to how "colorful" something is perceived, or how much of a hue goes into a pixel.
  • Value refers to how bright (or dark) a pixel is perceived.

Hue and saturation together make up the color part of a pixel, but value is mostly what's conveying space and threedimensionality. The human eye is trained to perceive even subtle shifts in value and will make judgments about an object's position in 3d space and…

One year of translating for Habitica

On 2019-07-16 17:35:49 CEST, I was contacted by @ieahleen and asked to translate some hails for the Pirate Cove to Esperanto (one of my two native languages). One year later, I have contributed to the German translation of both Habitica itself as well as the Wiki news.

The Wiki gamification mechanisms worked well on me. I tried not to miss any day, even though it was very tough around New Year's Eve. I was in the mountains in Poland near the Czech border and internet connection worked only sometimes and only within a specific square meter.

I am curious about where I will go from tomorrow on. Maybe I will do less Wiki and more Habitica translation again. Or less of both. Or a bit of both with less pressure to do it every day. Who knows?

Creating a New Subclass: Case Study - Barbarian (Warrior) Pt. 1

Many ideas for customizing your Habitica play style to better match your incentive response preferences are introduced in the article Creating a Unique Experience. The option that first caught my attention was under the Custom Rules section: Sub-classes (which I will be spelling "subclasses" for the remainder of this article). The option, as written in the article, is specifically about mechanics for swapping Health for Mana, but it got me thinking about how to take the various themes covered in the custom rules section and create a system for applying them all under one mechanic. I liked the concept of creating a subclass as a way to implement multiple rule customizations around a play style theme, and so I co-opted it as the frame for my…

Rate Limiting (Intentional Slow-Downs) in Some Third-Party Tools

On 20 July 2020 at about 20:30 UTC, Habitica made a change that may cause slowness in some third-party tools (extensions, addons, scripts, etc). Technical details for the creators of the tools are given at the bottom of this post but the main reason for this post is to inform the Habiticans who use those tools.

In brief, Habitica introduced "rate limiting", which means that third-party tools cannot communicate with Habitica too often. Previously, there was no limit on how often a tool could fetch data about your account, or how often it could modify your account (e.g., to cast skills), and because of that some player's private scripts had been doing so many updates so quickly that sometimes Habitica's entire server slowed down and that caus…

One Year Out

It's been a year since I moved out of the place I called home for sixteen years.  I moved out from under the auspices of someone who I'd lived with for longer than that, and into a smaller place that was sadly more expensive (amazing how much rents have gone up since before the Great Recession...).

My routines changed.  My habits changed.  I haven't been using Habitica much at all, but I'm still supporting the site and the Wikia to some degree, because some habits are worth keeping, and this is one of them. Surprisingly?  It's gotten easier to keep up with the housework, mostly because... I have help.

Wearing the Best Thing to the Ball


   


If you are new, you may have asked yourself:

What is the best thing to wear on my Avatar?

Or

Which equipment should I use?

Or

Can I have an amazing looking Avatar that rocks with my skills or in a quest?

The answer to this question is Yes and Yes. (Don't worry we will get to the other questions). Habitica has a great feature called Wear Costume or Use Costume. On the apps it and option that appears under the Battle Gear in the Equipment menu option.


For the web it is under menu option Inventory -> Equipment in the action draw at the bottom. Click the "2nd tab" of Costume to find it.


Switching that on, allows you to dress your Avatar to its finest clothes. (No need to pretend like the Emperor).

Hello World!

Hi everyone!

I am Lady Indigo (aka Svenja, an autistic student from Germany and I have been using Habitica on and off for the last two years to help me with executive dysfunction and procrastination. This year I have decided that I want to contribute something to the app that has been such a tremendous help to me.

In my day-to-day life I use Habitica for both small and large tasks, for university, shopping, hobbies and above all, self-improvement. There are goals I have accomplished last year that I feel would have been a lot harder to reach on my own, because I often lack determination if there is no incentive.

Why I'm here?

Hi! I love Habitica, it's such a positive community and I guess I just want to help it to the best of my abilities. I have been on this website/app in periods the last couple of years, but now when I came but I got more into it than usual. It really helps my day-to-day life, more than it has in the past. I began to wonder how I could make the website more available to others and find my way into translating the site, and now I'm here.

My Habitica Wiki Mission

Hello everyone! I've always had an interest in programming and web design, but I often don't have many opportunities to use those skills. I am hoping that learning how to edit the Habitica Wiki will help me not only re-learn some of those old skills but also learn new ones and give me a chance to put all of those lessons into practice more often.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions or advice for how to best edit the wiki! I'm always interested in doing things most efficiently, so if there are better or more useful ways of making changes, I would appreciate knowing about them!

2019 NaNoWriMo Ninjas List

As usual, I'm participating in National Novel Writer's Month.   There's a healthy NaNo community in Habitica, and one of the things I do is put up a challenge with plot ninjas (things that spark people's creativity when they're stuck in their own novel) that help people get their word count in for the day.  

There are four types of ninjas: 

  • Ordinary Ninjas -- you can do these on your own, they're voluntary, that sort of thing.
  • Secret Ninjas -- players in the Challenge send me their way of completing the ninja, and one of them will form the basis for a future ninja challenge.
  • Level Boss Ninjas -- aka 'show your work'  -- you get credit only if you post an excerpt from your novel that completes the ninja challenge.

Save the Earth; Where do I Begin?

You can't care about everything,

a wise woman told me once.

I want to care so much about anything,

But all the pain I felt lately was too much.


I tried to carry the weight of the world,

but I only have two hands.

Heavy on my shoulders, on my soul.

Exhaustion is running my veins.


Strong enough to save the earth,

if she would exist first.

But where does that begin?

It starts by acknowledging the hurt.

Difficulty Modifier, Part 1

Greetings, Scribes of the realm!

I have been toying with the idea of using what I call a "Difficulty Modifier" (which is really just a Habit). I'll describe how it works and how it is helping me (or not) in future installments.

Some tasks are, well, hard. I mean super tough. For me, this is waking up. I've never been a morning person, although hope springs eternal on that count. On most days, due in large part to a medical history of sleep disorders (and the resulting side effects of prescribed medications), waking up is an unreasonable demand, like yelling at a tomato in your garden to stop being green and just turn red already.

Can Habitica accommodate this situation? Of course it can!

We have the following default Difficulty levels to work w…
