If you find a guide not listed here... feel free to pm me.

Best way to use this guide:
Use your browser's search function (ctrl +f) on a word that is likely to be in the title of a guide
ie "uniform", "weapon", "pet"  etc...
then use the "next" function on the browser search until you see a guide that fits what you need.

2nd best way; Look at the table of contents... choose the section that best fits what you are looking for, then go to that section and look for the guide you need.

Some guides are listed in 2 or 3 categories to make it easier to find the information you want.
