Before uploading an image, view the individual pages of some images in the appropriate related category (for example, icons for harvestables, NPC portraits, map flags, armour icons, weapon icons, etc.). Please match the height, width, file name syntax and file type (PNG or JPG) of your image to the related images. Also adjust the contrast and brightness of your image so it can be seen by anyone. (Screenshots from the game are often too dark.) Before uploading PNG files, please save them in indexed mode (see also: GIMP tutorial). This reduces their size significantly.

Use the form below to upload files. After your description in the Summary box, please include the category to which its related images belong (for example, [[Category:NPC portraits]]). To view or search previously uploaded images, go to the list of uploaded files. Uploads and deletions are also logged in the upload log.

After an image is uploaded, it can be added to a page by using a link in the form [[File:Example.jpg]]. See also Images and Extended image syntax on Wikipedia.

When in doubt, view/edit the source code for other image pages or other articles to see how they do it.
