I've started to type up some guides for everyone to post in here.
The rough drafts are here:


http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?page=1&t=14120007#773629995

I'm looking for help creating some of the guides. As of yet, I only have one volunteer, helping me with cutting full world maps of Cantha & Tyria into each area. I'll need somebody to label each one (mission maps with the directions/area maps with monsters).

Also, somebody to create a compilement of collectors/artisans. (Doing this yourself would be much more accurate than copying the guides from other sites... I've seen plenty that are out of date or inaccurate.)

I have a copy of the Prima Game Guide. Being out of date and misprinted so much, I will be using it as a guide line for some of the guides. I will be scanning in the skills and using the thumbnails. Most of the skills in the Game Guide do not contain the correct descriptions or are out of date. Somebody to write up the descriptions would also be appreciated.

Other guides among the following will also be needed to be written up:
Armor guides (where - what - how much)
Quest guides (directions - strategy - rewards)
Boss guides (what - where)
Weapons/Weapon Mods guides (where - what - how much)
Character/Builds guides (what - how - why)
Salvage guides (what - how much)

Please PM me or post here if you'd like to volunteer with anything.
All your help is greatly appreciated.

I guess, just take a screenshot of the mini map and when the area maps are done being seperated you or I could edit them in.

Although, you'll have to do something along the lines of numbering them and writing up a legend as to which collecters give/collect which items.

EDIT:

Just got done typing out the Emotes...
Wasn't too much trouble considering I used the same format as the Commands...

If someone has already explored most of the maps I can do some editing to the map and maybe figure something out. I just have to work on HTML or something of that sort for the picture. I'll put in the quests that I know of. I'm still kinda new, but I could do some stuff like that. Maybe even a guild/guild hall guide. With a video of each guild like a tourguide. But I don't know when I'll have the time, and I could only start it once I get my new comp. But I will be a helper when the time comes.

Hope you don't mind I'm starting in Pre-Searing.
Figure its the first place people start the game and the best place to start the whole collectors thing.

sounds good to me. just makes sure to take a screenshot of the mini map and then make sure the picture files are all numbered or something and the data all kept either under the map or in a seperate word doc. or something.

What resolution do you want the pictures resized to? My computer can't run any smaller than 1920x1200. This means I just need to resize the pics in Photoshop.
But, ya. How big do you want the pics?

just take the screenshot and cut the mini-map out of the screenie...
no need to go do a ton of work. all you gotta do is get the mini-map so we know where they are.

I was thinking to get a list of all the quests, then just run to the area that the quest is, take a screenie of the red dotted line to the quest and maybe some enemy locations, or main points in that particular quest. Just a big hodgepodge link thing is what I was thinking... sweatdrop

See I was planning on creating a Animated GIF. That shows the collectors name. Fades to what he "collects". Fades again to what he offers one item and it's details at a time. Then the mini map.
This is what I was thinking, and that's why I wanted to know what size you wanted the pics.
