[GUIDES] Guides and Useful Links for Characters and Skills

In an attempt to limit congestion due to a large number of sticked Guides, I have compiled here a list of links to all the Guides in the section.

If there is an unstickied guide that you think should be added, PM me. Also, please PM a Silkroad Forum Moderator or post here if you have suggestions on how to make this list more user friendly, so it is easier on everyone. Thanks.

very nice. The 1st page was getting very clogged with guides that were all very useful, and this really helps with them being organized and all. You're off to an awesome start! :D
Attention to all noobies to this game: this page is the most useful one in the forum.

Sin, can you put in parenthesis after STR and INT their basic meaning?
Like:

STR (physical-based)
INT (magic-based)

Just so the noobs will understand.

Is there anyway we can have a subsection of the Character and Skills for guides because honestly, the way you changed it now makes it difficult for me to check to see if anyone has posted with questions in my guide because I really don't feel like having to click 4 or 5 times then scroll to the end and try to remember if I read the last response or not.
I'm in your posts, stealing your quotes.

Well, if someone does post / reply to a guide, it gets bumped and it will be shown with 'new posts' on the forum list

At this time, PHPBB doesnt do suBforums like we know them; a forum inside a forum.

I can 'not show' a forum on the main page, and I can custom rig internal pages to make a 'fake looking' subforum, but its not as easy as I make it sound ^^

Either way, have to do SOMETHING with the stickies

Sin: Use 'Sticky' not 'Announcement' in the edit window. They are 2 seperate things

Very nice to have the links to guides. Also you could update the list with the sp farming guide that The-Battalion wrote. :)

I think the "Fast Leveling and the Top 3 Builds by Fly" thread should be removed from this. It's locked and out of date.
