Who wants to write a Velious guide?

[JickFromTholuxe]

The Guides page on the wiki has a section for Velious that only says "To do". Do any of you Velious-studying nerds want to take the time to write down what you've learned?

Here are some thoughts:

• How the Velious porting system works
• Getting around the quasi-linear zone progression
• Factions
• Quests
• ToV
• Skyshrine maze
• Little-known tips
• Sight-seeing, points of interest, exploration guide
• Common dangers
• How classes are affected by new spells, abilities, re-balancing
• The timeline for when things will be released

The wiki is a wiki, so instead of someone creating "Turdman's Guide to Velious", maybe we'd be better off with "The Missing Guide to Velious" that is edited and developed by many people collaboratively.

I am sure there have been some posts on the forum that offer a lot of these details. A guide that centralizes that information would be a lot more accessible.

Who wants to take on the task? Who has something to contribute? Feel free to use this thread to discuss and brainstorm.

But I want people to remain ignorant so I can keep making money at things that a lot of people don't remember...

I just want people to go out and explore. I wish I was one of the lucky people who doesn't know shit about velious.

I don't mind adding content and fixes to the wiki, I just don't know how to fix some things.

For instance, the Class/Race quest list doesn't list Wizard Quests under W: http://wiki.project1999.com/Category:Quests

But I don't know how to fix that, because when I hit edit, that data is pulling from somewhere else.

That is a "Category" page. The wiki's engine MediaWiki has "special pages" that are generated. Some pages are a part of a category so that page simply lists everything in that category.

I'm completely lost when it comes to the different factions and armor quests and how all that stuff works. Haven't been able to really find a simple guide explaining it all either. Don't know what I should/shouldn't kill for faction. Bleh.

Ok guys, I went ahead and created the page:

The Missing Velious Guide

I'll start to hack on it a bit but I really don't know very much.

Jick, I understand it's a category page. However, the Wizard Quests list is a functioning page. What's causing it to not show up For the Class/Race quest list?

http://wiki.project1999.com/Category:Wizard_Quests is a functioning page, that is also a category page. I was able to figure out that it was missing the Categories: Quest on the wizard quest page, and now it's correctly showing up on the Class/Race quest list.

I saw that, thanks Sorn! I learned just about everything I know about Velious porting from what you just wrote. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I kept asking wizards and druids about Velious porting in-game and even they didn't know how it worked.

I also added a section for getting to Thurgadin from Iceclad Ocean and what to do what you get there.

I'm going to keep hacking on the page throughout the day but we could use more contributors!
