If I look at your example, Persian Shamshir, I actually find the weapon statistics table to be harder to read because of these two things. Personally, the style also feels pretty dated. Honestly, I actually feel kind of bad asking you guys to change the table to the style we have been using for older articles if you really think it looks terrible even though consistency is necessary. My issue with the style that you guys were using is that I find the black and dark grey to clash too much with the white text and links; I also have always really disliked minimalistic styles, i.e. without texture, since texture for text and borders improves readability in my opinion contrary to the minimalistic trend Microsoft set out beginning in 2013.

If you want, you can try to experiment with different tabling styles, such as a simple modification to the color of the cells defining the columns of the current unsortable tables. We can then all look over it together to see if we like it or not. A simple change might make all the difference! :)

This is actually another point I forgot to address, so thank you for bringing it up. I actually am not sure at the moment because I'm quite behind on the series, still being in early parts of Odyssey and haven't had a chance to look into the progression of weapon statistics in the game. However, it should be consistent with the fields used within the game, I think.

I'm not sure if it's necessary for it to be sortable, but I think armor sets should be treated like other pages on equipment which is about a group or class of individual items.
