Sai'nu's Guide to making Guides!

Per SWG Forum standards and expectations past:

Any good guide for the forums is usually color coded to help players. I liked using a strong Yellow for my titles, waypoints, and important npcs because they stood out and is the classic Star Wars lettering colors in the movie titles. Red was usually a good color for labeling sub-quests or important notes. While purple was good for your rewards.

Example Quest Post:

Lunatic Fringer's Guide to Old Quests
Finding the Meatlump King

To find the Meatlump King you must first travel to (0,0) on Tatooine. Note: You must be meat lump faction to actually converse with The Meatlump King!

If your successful you'll get The Working I.W.I.N. weapon of your choosing.

The above can be spruced up to tell a story in the mission info to spice up your guide of course. And there you have it; a guide to making a guide. The only obvious thing to note is to be sure your information is correct when posting. sly wink

Fantastic guide and I have that weapon you use in the example. The quest was hard but well worth the time.

I've been there, but I've never seen that guy. And I always thought Meatlumps were on Corellia.
