Conflux III - Zan's Exploration Guide - contains Spoilers

[Zan]

Hi all,

I have just added the first part of my exploration guide to the Wiki, so that you have to read something during Christmas .
You canfind it here: https://dmwiki.atomas.com/wiki/Conflux/ ... tion_Guide

Unfortunately, I'm facing some problems – the biggest one being the 2 MB limit for file size... I did the Guide with OpenOffice Calc. When converting it to HTML, I noticed that the awesome converter creates 220 characters for each table cell even if it only contains an "X" resulting in a file of more than 6 MB. So I have to do some optimization here...

Anyway, I thought I publish the first part already. And at the worst I just provide links to the original file in OpenOffice- and PDF-format.

Currently the following contents is available:
1. Prelude for the Maleficients (thoughts for a good start)
2. Wine Cellar
3. Cellar (including getting "Supplies for the Strong" with very low Health)
4. Rat Lair
5. MIPS area / Black Pudding
6. Minotaur's Maze
7. Treasure Area (partly)
8. Getting the Flask
9. Storage Cellar
10. Unlocking the Fireball spell

There are also statistics sections in between (champion levels, guild doors opened, ...) together with a "TBD list" (which is always getting larger...).

Any comments and ideas for improvements are welcome.

Any comments

Amazing work. Amazing amount of work. Perhaps someday we
can package the source document along with the game release.

I have just provided Release 0.2 of the guide in the Wiki.

Release Notes
----------------------------
Added chapter "Downloads" in Introduction

Added to the guide everything, that is needed to unlock 5 doors of each Guild and thus to remove any XP restrictions:
major parts of levels 0 and 1 (guilds, cellar)
minor parts of levels 2-4 and 34 (temple, sewers, mines, fur trader)


I have provided the files also here:
Zan's Exploration Guide

Formats available: OpenOffice/LibreOffice, PDF, "Wiki input file".

I've also provided a savegame there, where you can see a Health-1-Maleficient with Scimitar and Shuriken from the Supplies for the Strong.

I have provided Release 0.3 of the guide - but only here this time:
Zan's Exploration Guide

Since updating the Wiki requires some manual editing, I'll update it only for major releases. Next update of the Wiki is planned, if all Guild Leaders are unlocked.


Release Notes
----------------------------
Sewers added.
About 95% of the Sewers finished.
Major open topics here: 2 Maleficient riddles.


Formats available: OpenOffice/LibreOffice and PDF.

Surprising. Interesting. A mix between narration and methodology. If I understand correctly, you're making your guide while advancing with several parties, in distinct folders. All along, you're maintaining new open threads about things to do, like some kind of journal. This could be put to words, into a story telling... Anyway, it's enlightening to read and to understand how you proceed. It's also a nice addition to the ongoing wiki. I've forgotten quite a lot a about my intentions and it's fun to try to guess what they were!

Thanks for your feedback. Yes you understand this right. I'll add these infos into the introduction also. WIll be included with the next update.

... like some kind of journal. This could be put to words, into a story telling...

Maybe I'll do a journal afterwards, when I'm finished ( ) with the guide.
