Two requests for topics

[Lord_P]

First of all, we need a Book III walkthrough. The forums are overflowing with questions like "how do I get into Seawardens' Guild" or "where are the widgets" or "what is up with that puzzle in Baiziel's hut". This needs to be sorted out by someone professional.

Second of all, we need an editor wishlist!

EDIT: Well oops. Vroqren is already working on a walkthrough.

But we still need an editor wishlist. IJBall, get on it!

But we still need an editor wishlist. IJBall, get on it!

Right now, the only thing that I've committed to doing is the Complete Spell List for Book III (assuming BW doesn't do one...) - I've just started up a Mage-Healer hybrid character for just such a task.

I'm also very, very likely to condense the "bugs" thread(s) down to one of my "Bugs list" in the next week or two.

I suppose I could put together a Strategy Central thread if Randomizer doesn't, though you actually are advised to wait a little while to put one of those together (i.e. so that there are enough topics to "point" to!!...).

However, I haven't committed to an Editor Wishlist yet, as I'm not sure there's enough out there on the subject in the forums to justify that yet - a good "first step" for putting such a list together is actually to start an "Editor Wishlist" thread right now on this forum!

However, I'll tell you some things we do need right now, in terms of needed topics on this forum:

1. A Book III World Map thread (side-note: the old world map is missing from the Book II World Map thread if someone has it and wants to restore it to that thread...)
2. A thread topic on the Alchemy levels for Book III (i.e. what level you need to be at in Alchemy to make what potion...)
3. A thread topic on the Foraging levels (i.e. what level of Foraging do you need before you starting finding particular items and alchemical reagents)
4. A thread on the Mercantile formula (or, at least, confirmation that the Mercantile formula is exactly the same as it was in Book II...)
5. Checks and confirmation on whether formulas for any other Skills have changed (e.g. Dodge, Pick Locks, Skullduggery, etc.

I may be missing things from this list, but this is a good start on needed topics before even doing a Strategy Central-type thread...

[Randomizer]

Some of the topics will become obsolete once the first update version is released. A few haven't been done yet like Alchemy.

pardon my ignorance but what is an editor wishlist?

I would hardly consider myself professional (I don't get paid, and don't really want to for this), but I do enjoy writing, and hopefully will be able to produce something helpful.
Unfortunately, I've been swamped with school work recently. Hopefully the upcoming week won't be as bad.

Amen to those. I could certainly use each one of those in parts of the walkthrough, though obviously I can simply edit the post later.
One more thing I would like for use in my walkthrough is the Anchor BBCode. (Any chance on getting that BW?)
