Community Event The Unofficial Wynncraft Handbook! Progress Update #1 Is Here!

! THIS IS COMPLETELY UNOFFICIAL! ALL COMMUNITY-MADE !
​

Hey all!

This is the constantly-shifting thread about the Wynncraft Unofficial Handbook, a project that myself (and others) will work on together. If you'd like to contribute, pick a topic from the outline and send me a writing sample of what you would write in a PM. I can vet people and put everything into one guidebook.

Spoiler: Original Post for Historical Purposes

I think that we, as a community, should put together a Wynncraft Handbook // Guidebook! It will basically be a compendium of information all in one place, that the community helps write!

Now, before you say "there's the wiki," think about this: a book allows us to do a lot visually and stylistically. Again, it will be completely unofficial, and just something that we can do in our spare time. I just thought it would be cool to have a Wynncraft "book".

If you're interested, let me know below!

Thanks to @Zepic for bringing the topic up in the shoutbox.

make sure to add a chapter about grinding for hours and hours

 

Ok

 

powders guide

 

That will be included, including full values for each powder + powder special (which the wiki doesn't have).

 

poll pls

 

item dictionary (another book on it's own)

 

I suppose it could contain a table of items in-game, like an appendix at the end.

________________________________

Done.

 

Yea, a chapter that rant's on about how shitty grinding is.

 

in all honesty tho a chapter about grinding spots and tips to making it easier and about xd gear wouldn't be that bad

That's kind of what you mean.... In a bad way

 

For some reason that posted two of the same msg. The forums have been totally not glitchy today

 

I blame Kotaku for it.

You know that the wiki is community made and written right?

 

Yeah. I know. This is just a side project that I'm interested in.

Okay will do: https://forums.wynncraft.com/threads/phoenix-wynncraft-library-2-1.139397/.
