... is to help me out

As some of you may have heard, I am working on a Wiz 8 FAQ as a school project (an HTML calss). I would like to use this (temporary) forum/board, as a "primer" to get a good list of things to cover, or at least to start with.

What I am looking for (for starters) is kind of a "top ten" for each category. Categories (so far) are:

Beastiary comprised of: Flora, Fauna and Folk

Travel Guide, comprised of: maps of each section of the game

Armoury, comprised of Weapons , Armour, Other Items

Weapons, Armour and Other Items will also be broken down into various further sub-categories.

The travel guide will maps (blatantly stolen from Analanders site), with hot spots of the various points of interest .... that is pretty straight forward. Though, given time constraints and other projects (putting in a patio over the next 2 weeks), maybe the "top ten" points of interest would be good.

If you feel like helping out, just start a thread entitled with the category and sub category and list your top ten, or just the top item or two ... and others can come along and fill in the gaps.

Thanks folks!

p.s. I think we should consider this a spoiler forum, but if you remeber to, please put "spoiler" in the title of your post, if it contains 'em.

I'm not sure I understand what you want. Do you want the top ten most difficult to kill, most fun to kill?

Also, do you want the monsters broken down in to categories like flying monsters, insects, mammals, those we consider "boss" monsters and/or the Folk broken down into living and spirit? What about rpcs or npcs? Do we include some of the monsters you only find in the retro dungeons?

What kind of project is this for?

Am I asking too many questions?

How about "Top Ten Best"

The project will have somewhat limited scope, due to time constraints (and otehr stuff I am doing, takign up my spare time). But after it is graded, it can continue to grow.

So all those ideas, categories, breakdowns, etc. that you suggest sound good ... I was looking for this to eventually be a "Visual FAQ" ... VFAQ (I just coined the term yesterday).

As for what I would like to start out with, in all the categories, it hardly matters ... top ten monsters could be most deadly, most interesting, most exp points, .... pretty much depends on what I have to go on. If I get enough info put together on each of these top tens (or 5 or 11), I can just add another list and drop down selection (top ten most rare, most annoying, most colorful )

For the initial project, I want to get enough content for it to be beyond a "proof of concept" stage, but by no means will be "complete".

Really, anything you want to add here is great ... Thanks!

10. "RE: If I only knew .... :-)"
Okay.

Well, throughout my current game I started taking notes of most all of the monsters my team have been battling and any special attacks and stuff. They are not too far into the game (finished some quests for each of the T'rang and Umpani and have done Trynton, but not the Rat tree or anything related. Are about level 12). I also thought I could make a FAQ of all of the monsters on Dominus eventually.

14. "It is going ..."
(a lot better, now the the other project, the patio is "done")

I have the framework pretty much put together, now it is a lot of cutting and pasting, running macros, etc. to fill in some detail. I will post up a temporary link (later tonight) to show you all what I have so far ..
