iv. Skill Points (I'm not a fan of random articles being in super categories when the other pages are all sub categories but I feel this page would go here as well as in a leveling super category)

B. Items (I'd prefer Inventory as that's how it labeled in the menu but that creates the problem of categorizing items that don't go in Aloy’s inventory)

i. Weapons (I'm having trouble with this ones layout because traps and ammo under their own tabs in inventory but I feel are better categorized under here)

1. Weapon by Type (this category would only be used if Weapon by Rarity is also created otherwise it is skipped and goes straight from weapons to melee/ranged/stealth)

a. Melee Weapons

i. Spears

1. Aloy’s Spear

2. Sylens’ Lance

ii. Swords

b. Ranged Weapons

i. Bows

1. Hunter Bow

b. DLC Bows (placed this here since they're all variations of the Hunter Bow)

i. Etc.

2. Sharpshot Bow

a. Etc.

3. War Bow

a. Etc.

ii. Slings

1. Sling

a. Etc.

2. Blast Sling

1. Deathbringer Gun

2. Disc Launcher

3. Firespitter

4. Oseram Cannon

5. Ravager Cannon

iv. Tearblaster

v. Tripcaster

vi. Dervahl's Sonic Weapon (and this is why Items works better than Inventory much to my chagrin)

1. Etc.

vi. Ammo (ammo could fall here, totally outside weapons, or under each specific weapon group)

1. Ammo by Type

a. Arrows

i. Hunter Bow Arrows

1. Hunter Arrow

2. Fire Arrow

ii. Blast Wire

iii. Fire Wire

e. Tie Ropes

i. Tie Rope Light

ii. Tie Rope Medium

iii. Tie Rope Heavy

f. Charges (I know you stated that you didn't like categories with only just one page under then but consistency dictates this layout, the other option would be for Tearblaster Charge to be up one as a lone article next to a bunch of sub categories)

i. Tearblaster Charge

2. Ammo by Effect (this could be made weapon by effect so that Sylens lance and traps would also be included)

a. Impact Damage

ii. Fire Bomb

iii. Fire Wire

d. Shock Damage and Severity

i. Shock Arrow

ii. Shock Bomb

iii. Shock Bolts

iv. Shock Wire

e. Freeze Damage and Severity

i. Freeze Arrow

ii. Freeze Bomb

iii. Freeze Bolts

f. Corruption

i. Corruption Arrow

3. Ammo by Weapon (I thought about this category but since each weapon uses the ammo type I think it's an unnecessary addition)

c. Stealth Weapons (I'm not sure if we should include the individual stealth ammo under here as well or how to work it in)

i. Blast Sling

ii. Tripcaster

iii. Traps

1. Shock

2. Blast

3. Fire

2. Weapon by Rarity (this would only include actual weapons unless you think traps and ammo should make up the common category; also only used if we make articles for each level of weapon but if we do it for outfits it would only follow that we do it for weapons)

i. Etc.

b. Rare Weapons

i. Etc.

ii. DLC Weapons

1. Etc.

c. Very Rare Weapons

i. Shadow Weapons

1. Etc.

i. Outcast

b. Uncommon Outfits

i. Nora Brave

ii. Nora Silent Hunter Light

iii. Nora Protector Light

Etc.y

d. Very Rare Outifts

i. Etc.

2. Outfit by Tribe (I'm still trying to come up with a good way for Carja and Shadow Carja to be linked but for now I'll leave them separate)

2. Nora Brave

3. Shield-Weaver

ii. Silent Hunter

1. Light

2. Medium

3. Heavy

iii. Survivor

1. Etc.

iv. Protector

1. Etc.

v. Lookout (not sure if I should just leave this one hanging out by itself like this since it wouldn't fall under the same number of categories as the other or make a DLC category for it to match; same would apply for the Trailblazer and Stormrider).

b. Banuk

i. Etc.

c. Carja

i. Etc.

d. Oseram

i. Etc.

e. Shadow

i. Shadow Stalwart (even though this would be the only sub category in here for consistency sake I still include this step)

i. Meat

1. Etc.

ii. Bones

1. Etc.

iii. Pelts

1. Etc.

i. Glass

1. Desert Glass

2. Slagshine Glass

ii. Charms

1. Etc.

e. Ancient Debris

i. Etc.

f. Supply Cache (I'm not sure what all would fall under here, it could basically be all items which I don't particularly like but have no reason to specifically not create it)

2. Resource by Primary Use (I specify primary use as all resources can be sold and many traded)

a. Crafting (not sure if I should break down into further categories or just leave as is with all crafting materials directly under it)

i. Etc.

b. Trading

i. Etc.

c. Selling

i. Etc.

d. Fast Travel (as I also explain lower I don't view the fast travel items as resources but the game does for convenience, I'd prefer to leave this category out)

i. Etc.

3. Resource by Rarity

a. Common Resources

i. Etc.

b. Uncommon Resources

i. Etc.

c. Rare Resources

i. Etc.

d. Very Rare Resources (so the only think under here would be the Golden Fast Travel Pack; while the game has this and the regular Fast Travel Packs under resources I feel that was more for convenience than an actual reflection of what they should be categorized as; the Golden Fast Travel Pack acts more like a Special Item while the regular is most similar to the Potions and Traps; I'm not really sure what to do with them without totally just disregarding the game’s categorization)

b. Banuk Figures

c. Metal Flowers

3. DLC

a. Health Potion

b. Health Boost Potion

c. Full Health Potion

2. Resist Potions

a. Antidote

b. Resist Fire Potion

c. Resist Shock Potion

d. Resist Freeze Potion

C. Crafting (not sure how this one should break down, some of it will be redundant since we have a Crafting category in Resources but stuff like Carrying Capacity still needs to fall under here)

D. Quests (I'm skipping Map because it doesn't really break down and I feel like that falls under World and Lore better, same with Notebook)

1. Etc.

iii. Errands

1. Crafting Jobs
