hm, would be a copy and past sessions, shitload of uploaded pics
I'm happy that word has the pics where they belong to (this wasn't easy, believe me)
from time to time i add some stuff or have to correct it, would be hard to do it twice the same way sometimes
but i can consider it, at least parts of
but anyway, i still think in this form it is better, else you have to browse through several page, that means my current table of contents would be useless (atm word updates it automactically, happy about that

)and i would have to write this manually
but i can think about it
atm im busy with another project, i kinda promised to bring it online today or Saturday for a small circle, so I have other priorities atm

but as long noone of the mods has something against it, i could try to copy and paste a lot, with several pics
i will see if i find the time

You have saved me tons of time and frustration. Like an earlier reply I too started some time ago.(the whole $100,000USD CND deal) I am not good with attention span though and also pretty busy so not enough time to play regularly. But your guide has revitalized me.

Thank you.

As far as any suggestions on the guide itself. I dont know if it's possible but I am a big fan of links and know that they would be helpful in a guide like yours. ie. when you first talk about TT linking it to your explanation of the trade terminal so it takes you right to it. This way if somebody reading is confused they can see what you mean. I think IMHO that all acronyms should be linked to at least a definition table somewhere. Lastly I read the thread In Love With did where you and others answered all the questions so incredibly and think that linking or refering to that in some way would also be helpful to those starting. I mean it is a prime example of progression of a player.

props to you and her both.

first thx

but even if i could implement the links in word (what i can't), i have no idea how to do it in the pdf, i tried to solve it with the abbrevations at the end a bit
the link to certain posts here isn't that easy, often it has already been discussed somewhere else, therefore it wouldn't help that much
i have a lost of links in the end of the guide too
the other reason why i don't plan to implement links is because there are not transformed to pdf i think, so i would have to write the whole link
i have already problems with "filling" the sites, else i have just one sentence at the "last" site of something, e.g. the tt
it would kinda ruin the whole look
and i had had several fights with word before it looks that way, i assure you
(jep, the one that actually shouted at word that is its an

program and should be burned, that was me)

Again, great guide Alice! Nice to see you're keeping it up to date, I'm sure this is a great help for new people.

Regarding the oil rig question in the FAQ: I would suggest that either (i) they definately shouldn't go there, or, if they insist, (ii) they should go there defiantly!

Still a very big fan of your guide!.
But i have a suggestion for 'The Next step' in Melee hunting. I have 4000+ in Longblades right now, and still my HA with Valors/Honors/determination sucks, i think it is like 2.2 or s.th. I'm loosing quite some Peds, in repairing my Valors and Honors(i accept this, by the way). But maybe one should stick abit longer with the Axes, and change to valors/honors when one reaches 4000 to 5500 in LB. The problem is once you have tasted the damaging force of a Valor u don't want to use the Axe any longer(i sure don't, lol).
Anyways, i would advise to stick a bit longer with the Axes.

p.s. gratz on the global you had yesterdayor was it the day before?

well, the problem i see, is that you sooner or later want something else
and the skill gain with the 2x0 will slow down dramatically
at around 3-3.6k i started to use my honor more and more
i didn't regret it
but i will adjust the range in the guide a bit
I'm at 6k LB myself, and I'm also losing quite often, but thats normal i guess

guess i have to change the team loot window too anyway

well, i had 2 actually, yesterday and the day before, so thx for both

edit, i already suggested rather 4.5k skills, and beyond that you will see hardly a skill gain with the axes i guess, and it is the same with the opalo dilemma
rather use something that can actually kill, or give a skill gain, or stay with opalo til level 6000 ?
the levels i mention are mainly suggestions, in the end it is personal taste anyway

edit 2
team loot rule window updated
