As a lot of you may know im making a DC help site, and i currently need a checklist of things i need to include. so i guess this is where everyone should post with what they want to see on the new dc help site. Be serious with your requests please.
(im sorry if this is in the wrong thread)

Hey Smitty Thanks for having a go at this. My only resource is RO's site which is great but a lot of stuff has changed from when he put that one together as you know. Here's 3 big ones. 1. Updated weapons lists for all areas including wheel guy and shops. I think most areas are pretty well defined on RO's site but some tuning could be done. The wheel guy drops things not on the list at all like the rare spikey I got yesterday. 2. Updated definitions and descriptions of all the items in the game. some things don't do that anymore lol 3. Include 'how to' sections where appropriate like how to tell a tiq from a new from an old this stuff still confuses me. man this is a ton of work. Thanks again. ;D

Hi,
First of all you should include pretty much everything in RO's 'weapons guides' and 'general guides,' with updated info of course (most is still correct). I check these pages for reference all the time, the multiplier chart especially. The TP term guide from his site would also be nice to keep, although it needs to list a few other terms.
What RO's site is missing is a detailed guide for each area, such as how hard certain monsters hit (and how much guts/defense you need) and the best way to quest in each area. An 'advanced guide' would also be nice, with tips on how much charm you need to run from certain monsters, etc.

Well Toki an item price list is not so practical unless k_s do a more general one coz the price of items you sell at different places differs and whether you have merchant ablility etc. Player's charm comes into play too coz I read somewhere that an item sells for more if you have higher charm and I think it is true after some experience of my own. So perhaps a very general one where different tier weapons or junk sell for how much at a particular place etc(for some people like me I sort of know how much an ac will sell at bill smith for different tiers so I can spot a rare one without checking all acs as they all have the nat rares.

I only thought of it because of Sir's DC Test.

While a lot of the suggestions are really well intended, might I offer up a suggestion that might K_S some work. . .a lot of this stuff takes time, so the more lists and guides we want him to include. . .well, you get the idea. If K_S takes a look at what's on RO's site and only write new info where RO's is either lacking or incorrect. If RO's info/list/guide is correct, K_S can just link to the pertinent page. Saves on website clutter, memory, etc. Speaking of guides, there are also some great guides posted in threads here - why have K_S duplicate the work of others and not just link to the relevant thread? Just an idea.

heh, thanks gawayn for trying to keep as little work for me as possible. Ultimately I would like to include everything DC related in this guide, I am planning on linking to RO's site as much as possible till i can have the same information (but updated as possible) as for the different guides, i'll include them, but they'll probably be included last on the list, i think the more important things to put up first are those that RO doesnt quite have finished or updated.
thanks for the input and keep the ideas coming

I remember one of the noticeable gaps RO has is in the monster/area guide. Let me know if you'd like help wordsmithing. I've had a little practice. And good luck!

Wordsmithing = writing the copy. smith = maker so really, it means 'word maker'. 'Blacksmith' being the most commonly used 'smith' word in this day and age. ;D Thanks for taking this on KS, I've long been a fan of the Random Orange site and would really appreciate seeing it updated. Would love to see a section on strategys....but it may be too unwieldy...as strategy success rates depend on so may variables. But, I would love to see at even a general outline.

I'm going to be working on making a display for Tiers. Currently, using a form to calculate tier is being annoying, so i figured there isnt any point in making a tier calc if theres a list of all the possible tiers, so im making a form to display the stats of whatever weapon you want. the way im going to do it is by making an image with all the stats in a table or something, so pretty much its gonna take up space, but not as much space as a bunch of pages with tables of a bunch of stats (i think).

Nice explanation, Torra. I think we need to put in a bio of you under the "rares" section. What do you think, K_S? So yeah, like I said, K_S, if you'd like some help in the writing aspect of this, I'd be happy to help. I don't know what programming languages you're using for the page, so don't know how much help I could be there. Still, I'm used to threshing information, so let me know if I can take a load off your plate.
