This is wonderful stuff. Thank you for putting this on your site!

Very nicely done, too.

John Doe,

I did it this way to conserve bandwidth for those who use dial-up. This method lets you click on just the graphics you want to see, such as a map or a specific street intersection, without waiting for a long time to load everything and without cluttering the screen.

Example: the walk-through for Arnika is 7KB; if all of the screenshots were included it would be 723KB!

Way to go! What amazes me the most is the speed with which you update the areas. 2 days ago Trynton wasn't even started and now all the way through Marten's Bluff.. Impressive

Xignal: going to make the thread "sticky" so it'll be easier for people to find for help.

Cheers,

This is WONDERFUL! Thank you so much - it will be a great help to me.

A question about your maps - is there a way to make them lighter, as they're a bit hard to read?

And one absolutely IDEAL thing would be a place to download the walkthroughs and maps so I could print 'em out!

Thanks again for your efforts! My team will not doubt survive better thanks to you!

Catz,

I'll try to set up a download area (with a link to 'lighter' maps) this weekend. I'll post here when it becomes available. [It's a bit of work to download to and configure my FTP public access folder]

Thanks for the support, all!

Regards,

Thank you SOOOO much Xignal! May the Wizardry gods bless you!!!

I agree wholeheartly with a responses to your walkthrough. My comment is that you should go into the consulting business and teach the so-called Official Strategy Guide publishers how it should be done. Bravo.

Two Questions regarding your good walkthrough:

- Why not visiting Croc the instant you enter the swamp? He has
good items for sale.

- There is a T'Rang Samurai NPC mentioned in "the other walkthrough"
who was supposed to be in the mine tunnels. I couldn't find him,
though. Did I miss something in the carthouse? I found four
possible routes only.

Do you mean the guy who wouldn't talk to me initially?

So I met him already?
