There are origami instructions for CROW instructions sold in Leth and Ratha. I have the ability, right now, to fold horses (395scholar/266mech/50int/46agil) and I fail miserably at Crow - any idea where these fall so they can possibly be added to the origami calculator? --Ysselt 16:33, 16 October 2008 (CDT)

Wasn't the Crow replaced by the Raven instructions because it had conflicts with the Crown instructions? --Mozzik 04:36, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

As far as I know they're still sold (as of about 5 months ago when I bought some) they're also still available in origami grimoires. --Ysselt 19:04, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

New Origami References:

Would there be a way to combine both of these lists, so they're in full order? Perhaps a way to mark or colour the FEST patterns, so people know they aren't regularly available? --Ysselt 21:08, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Wrong First Folds

>read viper instr You read through the viper instructions and your eyes nearly cross. There are folds you've never heard of here, and you get a strong impression that trying this would be a waste of origami paper. You think it fairly obvious where the first fold would go. Roundtime: 3 seconds.

>read butterfly instr You read through the butterfly instructions and your eyes nearly cross. There are folds you've never heard of here, and you get a strong impression that trying this would be a waste of origami paper. You think it fairly obvious where the first fold would go. Roundtime: 3 seconds.

>read tri instr You read through the triquetra knot instructions and your eyes nearly cross. There are folds you've never heard of here, and you get a strong impression that trying this would be a waste of origami paper. Now if only you could figure out where to place the first fold. Roundtime: 3 seconds.

These aren't all the same level. Currently have 401 scholar + a prediction taking me to at least 500 + 50 int. Sadly I can't pin it down more to correct it. --Mozzik 04:34, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Posting your FF and SF might be a little more helpful; I personally don't understand the calculations but people like Gent do. You can get those numbers here: http://www.olwydd.org/systems/origamicalc.php SF is the first set FF is the second set. --Ysselt 19:19, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Sortable Table

I left the order of entries as it was under the old tables, since it provides a handy way to keep the Festival-only ones separate from the standard ones while still preserving the difficulty order within Fest and Non-fest instructions.
Also, as it stands, the location column isn't very useful as a sort, but I'm thinking... meh? I think its more of a reference than anything a person would need to sort by. I did debate making a separate column for each shop, but that would be cluttered, a pain to edit, and not really worth the time. If someone can come up with an elegant solution, that'd be great.--Evran 11:56, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Alright, I added a column 'Type' which will let people separate the two general categories of readily storebought and merchant only instructions. That should be more than enough sorting capability for shop locations.--Evran 17:43, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

imho, just mix them up by skill level, now that you have the Type category. --Ysselt 01:10, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Origami calculator is gone

Link's broken. I've removed it from the page, but preserved it here, just in case: http://www.wiztrigger.com/origami.html --Antendren 13:47, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Below the Fold pattern levels

So, I don't know how all the main table numbers were found out, but here's some information I gathered on the Below the Fold instructions
With a STUDY factor of 1004 and a FOLD factor of 871:
vykathi, unyn, sluagh, parasol, goggle, gargoyle, gear, bull, crocodile & water lily instructions were all too easy with the same messaging as follows -

    You glance at the <xx> instructions, and recognize this as a very easy project.  You could probably fold it with your eyes closed; it certainly wouldn't be any kind of a challenge.  You think it fairly obvious where the first fold would go.

plate of bacon & spring were all too hard with the messaging as follows -

     You read through the <xx> instructions and your eyes nearly cross.  There are folds you've never heard of here, and you get a strong impression that trying this would be a waste of origami paper.  Now if only you could figure out where to place the first fold.
