    Hello,
    I really love this server, although sometimes the quests can be a tad confusing.
    As such, I've found myself several times looking at the wiki.
    But the wiki is terribly outdated, this things not being at the cords listed, or quest requirements not being accurate.
    I'm not sure if the wiki is maintained by the server, or simply dedicated players, but I really think it would be good to update it.

    Thanks ;D

    There is an ongoing group of players trying to update the wiki. I don't know where the thread is, but you can join in if you want.

    Because I'm brand new & still learning stuff.


    Thanks for the responses, I'll make sure to check it out see if there's some ways I can help.

    (So once a question is answered, do you just leave it be, is there a way I'm not seeing to lock the thread, or do I need to actually ask a mod to lock it?)

    I would like to note (I am one of our Wiki Administrators):

    The wiki is much less outdated than what it was 4 months ago. It actually has been revamped, and we are making a lot more progress than we were at the start of this year. One of the main issues, however, like you said, is keeping up with quests since a lot of our editors are higher leveled. Quests having wrong coordinates or wrong requirements/rewards is the result of the recent gameplay updates (where a lot of quests have been rewritten). In fact, some of the quests you see today are much different from how they were a year ago. For example, Temple of Legends got reworked significantly (and not to mention, it's now much more annoying!).

    In order for the wiki and it's many pages to be updated quicker, we need a much stronger, more dedicated, and more active editing team. The group we have now is rather small, and certainly not enough for what we want to achieve.

    Therefore, if you want it updated, there are a few routes, like described above.
    1. You can request to join the wiki, and update quests as you go (of course while following the standard set in place).
    2. You can message a wiki editor that you know, one of the wiki admins, or myself if stuff is outdated.
    3. You can send updated information to one of the above people listed. (i.e, screenshots)

    Or, you can just deal with the fact that with our current team, it won't be updated any faster than the pace at which we are moving. The wiki is hosted by Wynncraft, but maintained by members of our community, not the staff/gm/build teams. Therefore, it's not a high priority.

    My suggestion is, since you are just starting out, that if you see wrong information, message myself on the forums the updated / incorrect information, and I'll add it to my / our to-do list.

    Thank you!
