Faction Guide
Hey, thanks for your contributions, they look great. I added a link to the "faction guide" on the mainpage. Perhaps all it needs to be a comprehensive "guide" is a short section/FAQ about what faction is, how it works, it's importance in quests, etc. Perhaps the non-technical aspects of Game_Mechanics#Faction_System_and_Levels could be incorporated somewhat.
Let me know if you have any other suggestions. --Ravhin 19:05, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
I had thought of it more of an overall guide as opposed to an exhaustive list of faction related details. Pages for individual factions (for ex Priests of Life) is a slightly stalled project but I just need to figure out a few things then can finish that, in order to crosslink all factions with zones, quests, and mobs. And the color table is sweet. --Ravhin 20:54, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
Just two more comments I noticed:
1. I'm always worried about duplication. Here in particular, all the quest content. For example the Muffin for Pandos quest already exists, though not quite as nicely formatted as in your page. Can I suggest that either you just link to the quest page for each quest, or else you can "transclude" them like the following (see wiki code):
Muffins can be bought in West Freeport from Pincia Brownloe (-276, -698).
Note: If Lady Shae is not KoS to you, then it is possible to do this quest at any faction with Pandos as long as you have the ability to go invisible or hide. Cast invisbility and make your way into Lady Shaes' room. If you stand in the corner of Lady Shaes' room at Loc (-206.42, -507.30, -10.87), Pandos will not aggro you no matter what level you are. By opening the door, you can then hand him 1 muffin. The give box will then come up, and the door can close but you will still be able to put more muffins into the slots. Once all four slots have been filled with muffins, you can then cast invisibility on yourself, or activate the hide ability. Con Pandos, and make sure that he is indifferent to you. When he is, press the give button.
If you make the mistake of moving from the corner, Pandos will most likely attack you. Be careful, and happy factioning!
Pandos Flintside may be found at +100, -615 in the Hogcaller's Inn.
You say, 'Hail, Pandos Flintside'
Pandos Flintside says 'Greetings! Please move along. I am not paid to converse with strangers... unless of course you have a muffin or two..?'
Give him a Muffin.
Pandos Flintside says 'Mmmm. This smells delicious. Oh great!! No milk!! Don't you have any sense?! Just tell me the name of the bakery and I will run and get it myself. I am sure Lady Shae will be safe.'
- Your faction standing with Faydarks Champions got better. (+1)
- Your faction standing with King Tearis Thex got better. (+1)
- Your faction standing with Clerics of Tunare got better. (+1)
- Your faction standing with Soldiers of Tunare got better. (+1)
- Your faction standing with Crushbone Orcs got worse. (-1)
You gain experience!!
If you tell him you got the muffins at the Brownloe bakery, he'll go there. As soon as he leaves, this ward comes out and will talk to you. This dovetails into the Hogcaller's Inn Quest.
2. I'm also avoiding external links except as references (specifically to alla). If the information is p99 classic then it's better to move it to the wiki where it should go, and link it locally. For instance my little edit all the zone maps are already here. --Ravhin 21:07, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
