Novelty Items

I think "Novelty Items" is a better name for this article. Also, the novelty items from Crafting_Items#Novelty_Items should be moved here as well since the tab in-game contains all those items. --Hyperchao 00:44, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Upon closer inspection of the distinction between Crafting/Event Limited/Novelty Items I withdraw my suggestions. --Hyperchao 07:27, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

The sorting is explained on Talk:Crafting_Items#Categorization_of_Novelty_Items. In brief:

1) Teddy Bears and related "huggable" items will be placed here (Novelty Collectibles),

2) Items that we know have no use, because they have been confirmed as such by the devs, and that appear in the Crafting ingredients drop-down menu -- will be in Crafting Items#Novelty Items;

3) Items that have a known use (or if a use hasn't been revealed yet but devs did not specifically say there is no use) will be placed either in the main Crafting Items#Crafting Items table or Crafting Items#Event Limited Crafting Items as appropriate.

Was Ronzaburger also confirmed to be of no use? I only wonder because it still shows up in the Crafting tab (not just the drop-down list) whereas everything else that is considered "Novelty Items" shows up in the Novelty tab as expected. --Hyperchao 21:56, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

It's mentioned in the item description, albeit a little cryptic. "What use does this juicy burger have you ask? Well, it's for looking delicious in your inventory, of course!" Not surprised that they missed out on tagging it under the novelty tab. It is quite an ad hoc classification anyway, seeing as they never removed the items found in the novelty tab from the crafting dropdown list. Probably will have to wait for MH v3 to be released to be sure. In the meantime I wouldn't worry too much about this, although you could drop Dave V. a question if it's bugging you :) -- Grexx 06:27, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

I think they've also mentioned it in one of the Feedback Fridays... I don't have time to go looking for it, and it's not that important. -- camomiletea 19:17, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
