[#1264]

Appearance scrolls for weapons are kind of a mystery to many players because some of them don't go on a lot of things players think they would. They work via tags on various weapons, so weapons individually state which type of appearance scroll they take (and if none, they don't take any). So in the weapon info template, in the info section, a line could be added for weapons stating which type of scroll they take.

Tag Example Weapons
/righthand_blunt_weapon_skin/ Wooden Stick, Warhammer, Mace
/bow_weapon_skin/ Short Bow, Long Bow, Wing Bow
/dagger_weapon_skin/ Dagger, Tanto, and... yeah, Daggers and the Tanto.
/onehand_sword_weapon_skin/ Short Sword, Broad Sword, Gladius
/twohand_weapon_skin/ Claymore, Dragon Blade, Katana
/crossbow_weapon_skin/ Arbalest, Toy Crossbow, Celtic Crossbow
/wand_weapon_skin/ Fire Wand, Crown Ice Wand, Savage Lightning Wand
/knuckle_weapon_skin/ Spiked Knuckle, Bear Knuckle, Shyllien Mana Knuckle
/shuriken_weapon_skin Spiral Shuriken, Anju's Shuriken, Royal Rose Shuriken
/dualgun_weapon_skin/ Zeder II, Black Star, Divine Cinnsealach L2
/chainblade_weapon_skin/ Cardinal Chain Blade, Celtic Howling Chain Blade, Rem's Morningstar

(And then the Appearance Scroll page listing scrolls could clarify what they go on and list some examples.)

Of course the info wouldn't be correct until tags were updated and that's a gradual process but it happens over time and we could update them as people ask about them. Perhaps the line for no appearance scroll set could hint that the item may need an update or something.

Sure, it's pretty easily doable. I don't think it's necessary to add any line that says they might need to be updated, because more than likely the item just doesn't have one, and that line would be confusing to people.

It could be a hidden category though, if you want to sort through it (and we can remove it when the only things left definitely don't have it).
