Different class sections
I have begun writing a walkthrough for the Druid, and I, being a novice at WikiBooks, was wondering if it would be right to put it at /druid, or more like at /druid/walkthrough. It's at /druid right now, because having a subcategory wtih more information than the main category sounds silly to me. After I am done with the Druidic walkthrough, I'm going to begin writing others. 71.70.142.189 22:22, 17 April 2006 (UTC) | GofG (WP)
 * hello GofG, firstly, I think where you put it now is just right for the time being. Don't forget, we can always rename it if needs be. I wouldn't really call it walkthrough though, as there are per se no EQ walkthroughs. There are guides, but a walkthrough (like i.e. for Baldurs Gate) is nothing what you can really writeup I think :). Thanks again for your help here! --Kajolus 14:37, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Right. I think maybe the discussion of the guide should move to it's page, though. When I'm done with the Druid, I'm gonna work on the other classes I've played through. Note though that I've only played the Druid to level 51, and I'm playing on the mac server Al' Kabor, which has the expansions up to the Planes of Power, so I'm probably missing a ton of information. Regardless, I think that all the class sections could use a rewrite. I chose the Druid one to do first because it seemed to be the worst... Please see the talk page on Druid.

-- Hey guys, I added a few external links to the Paladin page and plan to create a creation guide, walkthrough - whatyamaclallit section for paladins much like GofG has going there for druids. Just as soon as I figure out how everything works here. Netos 05:26, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * cheers mate. The most important thing is: use the show preview button as often as possible. that at least helped me a lot. I also added a guide to the "ethereal cleansing" quest under the "uncommon spells/tomes section" for the paladin. --Kajolus 09:27, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Sections
Spells: I think having a spells page would not work. with the constant changes/additions etc. I think we are better off referring to lucy. or?--Kajolus 12:40, July 18, 2005 (UTC) also, I think we should make a "tactics" section, class specific and general?--Kajolus 08:48, August 2, 2005 (UTC) Zones & Continents: How about rolling this into one section "Continents"? Congin 16:01:39, 2005-08-19 (UTC)
 * It's up to you. A page doesn't yet actually exist.  It's just a redlink at the moment. Uncle G 11:04:24, 2005-08-02 (UTC)
 * added a site uncommon spells/tomes/dics - more general approach, so melee's/hybrids are not left out. the site shall contain only spells/tomes/discs, which need to be quested/researched or drop of mobs only. else we will not be able to maintain it. --Kajolus 10:57, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * I defer to your expertise. Go for it. Be bold. Uncle G 11:04:24, 2005-08-02 (UTC)
 * done :) --Kajolus 10:57, September 8, 2005 (UTC)

I'll work on the class pages eventually, but I have a paper to write this weekend. also, although the 'general raiding advice' section has a great piece by apostate, it's not really 'general raiding advice,' imo. it's pretty detailed, and although it has a lot of great points (-especially- for a raid leader,) a general raiding advice section could really use.. well.. a lighter piece. czaemon
 * Czae, thanks for helping out. Please do not forget, that (a) I am not an native english speaker, (b) I don't mind edits at all and (c) your expertise is badly needed here. and don't worry about not having much time. I guess we have all the time we need ;) --Kajolus 11:50, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

Still just swamped with stuff, so I haven't gotten around to any edits ~ Czae

Promoting EQ wikibooks
please, can you all promote this book here, so we get more people contributing? thanking you :) /bow --Kajolus 11:23, September 8, 2005 (UTC)

how to proceed with the book?
I guess starting off with various subsections is one way (like we're currently doing). what we also could do though, is to step back and try to find out, how we want to proceed. I mean questions like (not an exhaustive list) need to be adressed as well. or?--Kajolus 07:52, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * how to structure the book
 * where can we create/use templates?
 * overlap with wikipedia
 * I agree that you guys(and I'll add my help as I can too) need to work on the layout of the book and address the overlap issues. One thing I noticed today is that the FAQ has some Veteran reward AA information, and we have some of the same information under AAs. It is early days yet, but we have to focus so that anything which is repeated, is repeated for a purpose. BTW, good job so far, I came here 'cause many of my questions pop up in google with you guys at the top.Tendiin 12:53, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Tendiin, oh yes, plenty of things to do... and thank you for the flowers for the work done so far. It's indeed not bad :) Albeit I have to admit, that at times I just think we move too slow...:-/--Kajolus 21:26, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Additions - general
topics you think we should be working on too, just add
 * LDoN progression (expansions/LDoN))
 * update - almost finished http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/EverQuest/Expansions/LDoN#ldon_adventure_stone_npcs_and_locations --Kajolus 21:30, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Leadership abilities (expansions, GoD(?)))
 * Added under AA page. Tendiin 14:26, 10 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Veteran Rewards (expansions or FAQ?)
 * update: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/EverQuest/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Veteran_rewards--Kajolus 12:51, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * races (races - innate abilities (AC boni, HP regen, swimming skill, hide etc.) and Lore only, no need to mention stats, or?)
 * update: progressing quite nicely http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/EverQuest/Races --Kajolus 12:51, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * the ext. link section in the FAQ and the various class sections, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to add the owner (at least, to show if independent or IGE/Yantis/Zam related...)--Kajolus 21:25, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Under each class page, a list of the types of spells(with one or two examples) important to that class? Maybe a little bit on what is expected of the class? (Similar to tactics but from the class perspective) Tendiin 14:26, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I think this is horribly wrong, strategywiki is not an official wiki and it was pointless to move this there. The person who did this should have their admin taken away.
