Talk:Wranglers' Guide

Simpler is better

Personally, I feel STRONGLY that we should keep it simple. There's a lot of repeated information for one, and I think it may end up turning people off more than anything, if we keep it as it is :P Of course, let's see how we can make this a little more readable. I'm working on a -bare bones- version that I'll paste here in a while, which I really think will serve the purpose a little better. We could put the repeated items as a "General tips" right at the top too. -Zach C 15:12, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

and so on. As mentioned, we can add the useful general tips about Crew, RLC etc at the top, before we even start this.

If they want more information, they can always go the other parts of the wiki. This will serve as a one-page guide for those who don't like to navigate through many pages of the wiki, and just want progress info (and there are some like that). There are still some things we need to smooth out (I can't properly advise when to start quests for lower poles, since I can't experience it again! and need a little work to work it out), but I feel we should start with something like this.

What do you guys think? -Zach C 15:59, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Used your suggestions

Hey Z -

Used your suggestions and tightened it up a bit. There is a method to the madness however - the reason why there may be more steps than you might initially think is the concept that each step should have one main link that people can go to for reference if they have questions. Hence why though you could put lava suit, cubey incinerator and fire sludge in the same note - by separating them, there is a link to resources, poles, chum. The exception to this rule is the island where it not only has the generic link, but the link to the island page itself. This is because on that island page there is also information about what to catch and other tidbits.

I've added a general "no matter what angler class" section and tightened up some of the points to be less wordy. Hopefully this is much better for you - if we can go for more brevity without obscurity, lets! Thatcherw 21:02, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Farovia / Roperia

This page is really only for Farovia (created prior to Roperia & not updated since). As this is one of main pages from FW home page, it really should mention having the option of either starting off in Farovia or Roperia. With link to brand new Roperia Guide similar to this one.

Possibly even renaming this page Wranglers' Guide Farovia. With new page added Wranglers' Guide Roperia.

Thoughts? Ideas? I am open to them, but this is long overdue and really needs updating somehow.Kevin "Hawk" Fisher (talk) 09:38, May 19, 2017 (UTC)
