     The third classes are a relatively new thing to everyone involved. The goal of this community guide is to have a comprehensive go-to location that anyone can go to, no matter what your server, what the rates are, how much drama there is, or whether you play a sprite editor, map developer, or an 'I-create-donation-items-on-my-server-to-make-money' role there. Everything will be included, from the tiniest detail of how a skill affects the mobs around you to where to level.

     The wonderful thing is, I can't do all this by myself. I want the community to be able to go to one place to find what they're looking for, no matter what you're looking for. Can't find it? Is it not here? Got a better idea of where something should go? Comment about it. PM me. Find me in my servers. Email me. We'll get it done. But the best part is, I'll do my best to give you credit. This is a community guide that no one person will take full credit for. Put your heads together and let's make the best guide on this class.

Update History: Current version is always in bold.

Just like the guide says, if you have anything you want on the guide or you're looking for something, just leave a comment here.

A few notes. You want this to be complete guide including leveling etc...okay, so it has to be set for certain rates. I suppose lowrates with no custom items will be best, HR's don't care where to level, they can do it off porings if they want.

But most of the stuff has been written a hundred times already. What's gonna be new here is past WS stuff. But here sh*t hits the fan. Pretty much anything done in this area is custom, individual for servers that dare to make 3rd classes themselves. Since the info is so far incomplete, every server has to balance out the stuff themselves-skill cooldowns, for example, are still missing for a lot skills.

And atop of this, AFAIK no server implemented Renewal yet-since there is not enough info. So no matter how it's done now, in the end it'll be different.

So what's the purpose of this?

taylorotf

A couple things back:

I dont think it DOES have to be set for certain rates. If someone is playing on a 10k/10k server and they find really good spots to level at, they can put it in a comment and I'll add it in that rate's section. Same with someone on a 250/250 server, or a 3/3 server. Point is that this is going to be a big guide. HUGE even. I mean, when we're done we have the potential to print this out and distribute it. The BEST thing though, is that it will be organized. I'm doing beta outlines now on MS Word, but say you want to get to leveling spots on a 5/5 server, this would be the link flow:

Table Of Contents -> Server Rate* -> Leveling Guide

*=Variable

Depends on how deep everything gets though. Things might be a little crazy at first, but once I figure out an organization method that will get everyone where they want to go efficiently, it'll roll fine.

A big thing with your questions seems to be that things are expected to change, which is another reason that the guide will be great. It will be general, but it will also be specific. I know it sounds odd, but I want to see where everyone will take this. I'm really excited to see what will happen.
