Outside Baerlon, In Fal Moran, In Stronghold
I am going to start an in-game help directory when I finish Arena 1.1 - any help writing helpfiles would be much appreciated.

Re: Trades
Thanks!
I'd love to help with helpfiles i'm sure everyone would. It would be very usefeul I think, and not just for new players.

Re: Trades
You guys could start by writing articles for the Wiki, it needs some fleshing out.
Re: Trades
I believe galnor removed all in game help files because there is the wiki.
Re: Trades
New players are going to quit when they type help and only see What?? The wiki is great, and you guys should definitely write articles for it, but I'm going to make in-game help as well that can at the very least point the player to a wiki page.Ciarra wrote:I believe galnor removed all in game help files because there is the wiki.
Re: Trades
Thanks for that.
Should we add in here or somewhere else potential pages and then edits to pages?
I was thinking it would be nice to have a few separate new sections something along the lines of:
Shops
Some info on the bazaar in caemlyn (does this work?) and the new blacksmith shops around the place, what types of items can be found etc. Also mention of where to buy lightsticks (this is something that is lovely for a new player to know) NB: I can't remember I think it's Market Sharan?
Transportation
On LS transportation across Kinslayer is from the .. in Caemlyn or the Aes Sedi in Fal Dara. These can provide transport at a cost for an individual and extra for following horses or mobiles. The commands are say help, say port ..., and the further the distance the greater the charge.
Trades
Trades can be learnt outside Bearlon and in Fal Moran for Lightside, and in Stronghold for Darkside.
Trades are in pairs with a gathering trade and a production trade:
The linked gathering and producing trades are as follows: mining and smithing, herbalism and mixing, skinning and tailoring, fishing and cooking.
The gathering trades are useful not just to provide raw materials for production but also to make money for transportation, purchasing equipment, hiring mercenaries, and in procuring special items.
The gathering trades often produce bi-products which are special items that can give an edge in pk.
As well as components, each trade requires receipes which are obtained from smobs.
The basic commands for each trade are as follows:
Subpage Herbalism
Subpage Mining
etc. - with the basic commands such as mining, gather plant, skin, etc. and the places they can be carried out, how they work in essense, where the gathered components can be sold, where the final products can be sold/
Mercenaries
(The info from getting started would be perfect for this. Might also be good for Help file)
If the basic pages were up i'm sure we would all be happy to edit them (or send info to Koradin or someone else to edit them)

Re: Trades
Do i need special privs or anything?
I can't seem to work out how to add a page, and when I try and edit nothing really happens.

You don't need special privileges. When you search for a term, and it doesn't find that page, it asks you if you want to create it.Primal wrote:Do i need special privs or anything?

When you are editing a page, it's kind of a pain because the box to input information is very tiny, so you can only see a couple lines.
