Moving on

That means please focus on the wrench and not tinfoil SPUF theories. Thanks. -- En Ex 13:06, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

A thing about drops+crafting...

I saw this thing about there being a 33%-odd chance of getting the gold wrench by crafting a hat, if so what hats should i craft? backpack. OllyTheMann 15:12, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Not going to craft pyro hats though. OllyTheMann 15:13, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Read the note directly above this. Whoever said that is bullshiting you. Don't craft your hats. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 15:16, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

33% is low. Believe me. Hundreds of crafting in Mabinogi with a 50%-odd chance of success, and the longest failure streak I had was about 10 times or so. Yet, 33% is considerably too high. 75 wrenches, and how many TF2 players are crafting right now? Good friggin' luck. Vi3trice 15:24, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Wrench 27 has been Destroyed

the first wrench to be destroyed was by the user "gongtk" moments ago, should it be mentioned that the administrator says "failure" and such in the announcement. HyenaDip

It's already on the page! You underestimate the fanaticism of those who edit this Wiki! --Firestorm 18:39, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

oh damn it, sorry about that some folk are just quicker than me huh? HyenaDip

Oh yes, they are. But it's better to post on the talk page than on the main page if you're unsure so you don't mess up (hint HINT, Smashman) --Firestorm 18:48, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Locked? and Gokt real username

is It me or the Page is locked? and gokt real username is [FAG]Grantz, '-' -Danisson 19:48, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Page is locked, I've added the box for it, thanks — WindPower 19:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

I locked it. At the time of deletion his name was gonkt. It's staying. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 19:53, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

We locked it because there were too many people adding speculation and rumors to the page --Firestorm 20:04, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

I think it is time to change the gokt to Grantz since he got his account and GW back? -Danisson 21:40, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Corrections

I've noticed a slight grammatical error, and since the page is locked I cannot correct it. So, I've created this new section for the purpose of allowing us good-willed contributors to point out and indirectly correct any errors or mis-information.--RJackson 20:06, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Grammatical error in Trivia leading, The first Golden Wrench owner to destroy his Wrench: ...a Valve employee has said he look into it...; should be: ...a Valve employee has said he will look into it...--RJackson 20:06, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

My bad. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 20:15, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

"When the Sniper is turned to gold, his statue will remain upright whereas all the other classes fall over. This once again, shows Team Fortress 2's disproportionate models. " Needs rewording in my opinion. Sounds way too matter-of-fact, when Iʻve seen other classes remain stood up (Engineer, Spy etc). In all honesty, if it was changed to something like "Sniper has more CHANCE" instead, it still seems like it isnʻt needed. Benjamuffin 20:58, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Better? :o — WindPower 21:04, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Yup, and I take back what I said, looking at it how it is now, it fits nicely :). Benjamuffin 21:09, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Golden Wrench and Dead Ringer

If a spy get hit with the Golden Wrench and he has the DR out, he survives and can see a death notice in the upper right corner. Maybe thats something for the Trivia section. Picard 21:14, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

That happens anyway from the perspective of the killer, no matter what weapon. --RJackson 21:31, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Do you mean that the Spy who was "killed" can see the Death notice? The Neotank 21:34, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

I believe he's talking about the SPY seeing the message, he normally doesn't. Confirmed? --Firestorm 21:34, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, the spy sees the death message, too. Thats what I wanted to say.Picard 21:39, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Wrench replacements?

3 Golden Wrenches have been removed, including Drunken f00l's, they've been replaced by 3 (Now 4) other Wrenches. This shifted Wrench numbers for everyone who received a GW after the three removed Wrenches. (Puttin' this here because it's not really relevant to the article.) The Neotank 21:50, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Nah it didn't. They just slotted them in, so the new users got old numbers. What a joke of an idea VALVe. gg --DogGunn 23:22, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Controversy

A lot of claims are being made in this section that has no references or any links to back up what it says Kekeke01 09:44, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

While I canʻt say it all has references, I can vouch for it all being legitimate and true. Itʻs been on the SourceOP forum/site, the steam forums with posts by moderators etc. Itʻs all pretty much solid and old news now. Benjamuffin 09:48, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

I got it from DF himself. Seems like a good enough reference to me. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 09:50, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Its true there are screen dumps of DF's chat about it a you tube vid from DF if you want links ill provide them just message on my talk page as said before this is not a forum --Markd 10:07, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Spare me the "this is not a forum". I know this is not a forum, no need to repeat it over and over again. My post was wiki related and not of a forum character, all I said was that anyone reading the claims have no way to verify them for themselves, a central part of any wiki.

Golden Wrench After Player is Killed

When I tried to take a screenshot of someone holding the Golden Wrench, they happened to get Direct Hit'd and I was left with this picture:

So I geuss this means that after a player is killed, the wrench becomes a regular wrench, not gold. Tendog 18:51, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
