Talk:Beginner's guide

It's assumed that players have gone through the tutorial and have been playing long enough to have discovered the wiki. Rather than being a guide to playing the game, I would like to see this page as a guide to using the wiki. --Itsatrap 23:05, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

• Started a rewrite. I guess I see this as more a "how the game works" article than a "how to play" article, so trying to shy away from giving too much advice to the player. --Itsatrap 06:40, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks.

I am glad some of the pros are taking a hand in rewriting and contributing. For me, I tried using the wiki, but it was very difficult. It took quite a while to even understand the basic concepts. For example, when you go to Mechanics to learn about base stats, theres tons of charts how to maximize them. But I just want the basics. This is why I wrote this quick guide. Yes, the formatting sucks. But I figured its been years and years and apparently nobody else has bothered to try. So I thought I would get the ball rolling. I don't understand all the hate and griping though. I am trying to contribute in a way that makes KoL more friendly to begin and all I see is negative comments in the edits (recent changes section) --SinginSally 13:42, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Pawn Shop

The article mentions a "pawn shop" but I can find none on wiki or actual game. Do they mean the Flea Market?--Zmflavius 02:07, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

• Yeah they do. Fixing it.--Toffile 03:12, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Character Guide

Now that I am more seasoned, I took another shot at making a character guide. /ducks

The theory is simply to let people see what a particular class is good at and how they are generally played. If they want more detail, they can go to the class wiki entries or the various links I've provided.

I think this information is important because how would you ever know that you can Find Turtles or summon seals, or summon pasta ghosts? It also helps to be able to quickly identify the differences between each pair of stat-class; for example, how is a Seal Clubber different than a Turtle Tamer.

For me personally, I had to dig through a lot of forums and read a bunch of unrelated wiki information to figure much of this out. When playing a D&D type game, you can kind of figure out what a Priest or Cleric does based on previous experience. But how does a beginner know what a 'Pastamancer' does?!

I left it at the end under Guides,Hints section so please don't delete it this time... :-)
