Guide: Complete Guide to being an Average DragonFable Player
1. Guide Topic: Familiarising with the key parts of DF.
2. Why I feel this guide is essential: It helps people to understand about how DF works, and how, perhaps, to play the game best.
3. Do I wish my guide to be locked if not approved?No
4. Extra information or notes: NGON takeover.

Altough the guide seems good, there are a couple of reasons it cannot be approved.
First of all, spoilers. The whole storyline is pretty much explained there, at least alowing them to skip it completely and warning them that spoilers are right below the content list is a must.
Some people want to know how to arrange their stats and items without spoiling the story. Please use spoiler tags (inadvisable) or make sure a clear warning is given for spoilers.

Secondly, aside from explaining the story and stating the part of what the staff does for AE, you give little new. Classes are explained pretty well in their class guides, as you stated yourself, you made a farming guide so people looking for places to farm can much easier go to there. And stats are given as well for their classes. Quoting the rules for a guide to be approved:
quote:

5. Original content is absolutely necessary.
At MINIMUM, all guides must contain 75% original information and insight. There is no need for a reposting of information available elsewhere. Reposting of Encyclopedia entries, other guides, as well as the use of long developer/staff/member quotes in their entirety should be avoided if at all possible, and reposting sections of entries/short quotes should be used only to support individual insight and assessment. Guides that do not present original information cannot be approved.


I encourage you to look for ways to help people to get the hang of DF and be an average DF player. Linking the correct guides, Think of ways so people find DF more interesting and more easily feel connected to the game. Showing what DF has in store for the players. If you can do this, your guide has a bigger chance to be approved.

Guide: Complete Guide to being an Average DragonFable Player
What has changed since the last time I asked for approval? Added in a warning for spoilers as well as a new section on how the DF team make the game enjoyable
How does this make my guide better? It helps people to understand DF better and familiarise themselves with the game's fun bits.

Approved, the only extra you might want to add (but not neccesary) is a link to all class guides for each class you explained. Just so people can have more information about how to use the class if they are interested.
That aside, it seems a good piece of work. Send it to the Guides section and deleted all other posts.
Thank you for your time making this guide. If you have questions, never forget to ask them. :)

1. Guide Topic: Deathknight, Necromancer and Paladin Classes Guide
2. Why I feel this guide is essential:

This Guide will be come in handy for Player who wanted to learn more to unlock Deathknight, Necromancer, and Paladin Maximum Potential

3. Do I wish my guide to be locked if not approved? No
4. Extra information or notes:

This guide was originally Sir Cursed Hero (Forum old name The Chosen1) guide. The guide has been taken over by me. Here is the link to the old guide. And this will be the 6th guide that was owned by me. So I asking for a permission to make a guide more than 5 Guide (Which is the limit of guide ownership).

Thank you very much

Guide not approved.
The name of the original owner has been misspelled in a few places, and banners that were once used by the original owner remain. It would be recommended that you create/obtain new banners for this Guide or eliminate them entirely, as you are now the owner of this Guide. Other than this, your Guide seems quite nice, and so it may be approved once this is done. It would also be worth noting that your ownership of this Guide should be fine, though it is your sixth Guide; Class Guides, while difficult to create, do not require much upkeep. -Faerdin

Under Progress, Thank you very much Sir Faerdin



Guide: All You Need to Know about Necropolis Armor
What has changed since the last time I asked for approval?

  • Original Owner Name Fixed
  • Original Owner's Banner Removed

How does this make my guide better?

I've Deleted the banner and fixed the owner name (Since it's mispelled).

Thank you very much

Excellent work, though the author's original name (The Chosen1) is still misspelled in the credits. You'll still be able to edit your Guide, though, so this is only a minor issue. Guide approved and moved! -Faerdin

Thank you very much Sir Faerdin. I'll correct it as soon as posible

Guide: A-Z Monsters by Weaknesses/Strengths
1. Guide Topic: An A-Z list of monsters by strengths and weaknesses.
2. Why I feel this guide is essential: This guide lists all monsters by their weaknesses, and it will be helpful to players who need to look for a specific monster's resistances.
3. Do I wish my guide to be locked if not approved? No
4. Extra information or notes: No further information.

Looks good. Only a small note that I saw. Some of the lines are across and some stack up below the resistance. i.e. darkness at 15 and 20. It's really noticeable in the fire section. It looks a bit odd to have some go sideways and some stretch down. Other then that good job. Approved, Moved, Stickies. 23JUN12 ~Ash

4. Extra information or notes: THIS IS MY SIXTH GUIDE.

Guide not approved.

That being said, I think there is a lot more information on the DragonLord Armor that could be covered, such as Matching Equipment (For the normal DragonLord) and explanations regarding the Color Custom and Evolved counterparts. However, the information that you do have is very good, and so I am sure your Guide may be approved once this has been amended. To confirm, since Class Guides do not require a great deal of upkeep after creation, it is fine that this is your sixth Guide. -Faerdin 6/23/12

Should the DragonLord Class change over the course of its updates, I suppose the information could be updated and changed. Excellent work. Guide approved and moved! -Faerdin 6/23/12

2. Why I feel this guide is essential: Kathool Adept is a very popular class, and some people get stuck on how to use it.
3. Do I wish my guide to be locked if not approved? No
4. Extra information or notes: Guide 7. In the Skills section, all damage% values are double the pedia figures, due to 200% base damage.

Excellent work, but it has come to my attention that you are using DF Encyclopedia images and information without having credited them for it. I shall approve your Guide, but please amend this here and in your other Guides the moment you are able. Guide approved and moved! -Faerdin 7/30/2012

Gingkage -> RE: =DF= Approval Requests (8/29/2012 18:58:08)

Guide: DragonFable Quest Guide
1. Guide Topic: A list of all of DragonFable's quests followed by an overview of all of the non-Rare ones.
2. Why I feel this guide is essential: DragonFable is a huge game with a lot of quests. A listing of all of them as well as an overview of them is a helpful thing. This is also an already approved guide, given to me by Ash when I volunteered for it in 'New Guide Owners Needed' thread.
3. Do I wish my guide to be locked if not approved? No. I've worked very hard on it, and it would be a shame for it to be locked just because I goofed up somewhere. I'm more than willing to make any changes needed.
4. Extra information or notes: I cannot overview the seasonal quests until they come around. The DragonLord's Birthday quest is overviewed because I realized it would be a good idea to do it during the month it was up. I am just waiting for the holidays in question to be able to overview the Seasonal quests. Also, I'm not sure if this is relevant, but the original guide was placed in the 'Pedia under the 'Locations/Quests/Events' section. Oh, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to work on this guide. I hope I've done a good job on it.

You did an amazing job Gingkage. Your guide is approved and ready for everyone. ~Therril Oreb

Guide: Guide to Alexander's past Guide to Alexander's past/ Previous owner's guide
1. Guide Topic: a guide on the Alexanders storyline
2. Why I feel this guide is essential: To help those get through Alexander's story
3. Do I wish my guide to be locked if not approved? No, I would like to correct the guide if necessary
4. Extra information or notes: Made a new guide on the Alexander saga with the original guide owners contributions

Not approved. I find that the guide right now is not really helping every player to the end of the whole saga. If you scroll through the comments of the previous owner you will see some ideas you could add into your guide. The last few quests also barely explain anything aside from the actual story and this guide is not meant to be just a short version of the story.
Try to add more content to help the player get through the saga and the guide will be ready for approval.

Dragonlord93 -> RE: =DF= Approval Requests (9/2/2012 19:06:42)

Guide: Guide to Alexander's past
What has changed since the last time I asked for approval? The last 3 quests are explained in better detail, added a recommended build section, updated the best weapons FAQ entry.
How does this make my guide better? There is a section with a recommended build for Alexander, added the Green Rose staff and the ice Rose staff to the best weapons section of the FAQ, added a little more content to the last 3 quests in the saga.

Approved, could always use a few tweaks but it serves its purpose. Thank you for taking your time in making this guide and completing it of course [;)]

2. Why I feel this guide is essential: It's an essential Pedia index, and I'm taking it over, as Leon ShadowHart had to retire it. Without it, houses everywhere will fall into disrepair, and armageddon is sure to follow.
3. Do I wish my guide to be locked if not approved? No
4. Extra information or notes: N/A

The uppermost banner has a width that is greater than the maximum width allowed in Dragonfable Guides. Resolving this issue will allow approval. -Faerdin

How does this make my guide better? It no longer breaks the maximum size rule for banners.

Excellent work! Guide approved and moved. -Faerdin

Guide: All You Need to Know about Warriors
http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=20679290
1. Guide Topic: A guide on warriors, specifically the strategies they can use.
2. Why I feel this guide is essential: Almost all classes currently have a guide but warrior has none at all. Warrior, being a base class, needs a guide to help players unlock its full potential and understand the class well.
3. Do I wish my guide to be locked if not approved? No
4. Extra information or notes: NIL

Guide not approved.
When Guides are dedicated to a topic such as a Base Class, they are generally intended not only to instruct a player on how to use the Class mentioned in the Guide's name, but also to offer a brief overview on other Classes and how that Base Class may eventually use other Classes to their advantage. The Warrior Class is a stepping stone for many Dragonfable players on their journey for greater power, and so providing information so that the reader may accomplish this is very important.
That being said, it would be very good to see more information concerning not only the Warrior Class itself, but the Warrior play-style in Dragonfable. -Faerdin

3. Do I wish my guide to be locked if not approved? No
4. Extra information or notes:N/A.

Guide not approved.
Several images from the Dragonfable Encyclopedia had been used in this Guide, and so the Dragonfable Encyclopedia must be credited.
In addition, a very important part of most Class Guides would be thorough instructions on how to obtain and train the Class in question. Certain Classes do not need to be trained and so this step can be avoided somewhat (Zardbie, enTropy, and Kathool Adept being examples), but Classes that do need to be trained need to have Guides that properly explain their methods of training. -Faerdin

How does this make my guide better?It gives credit where due, it answers some questions and shows people who are new how to obtain it.

There was one small thing I had overlooked. I will still approve your Guide, though, because it does seem to be in very good shape now. When you are able, I would advise formulating alternative Battle Strategies that do not involve the usage of Primal Skills, as there are players who can't. Aside from that, excellent work.

1. Guide Topic: A guide on the story of DF

3. Do I wish my guide to be locked if not approved? No
4. Extra information or notes: N/A

Guide not approved.
Throughout the Guide are typos that, while minimal at first, accumulate and can make the Guide somewhat tedious to comprehend on the whole. Before applying for Guide approval, I would very strongly recommend proofreading and eliminating as many typos as possible to provide a thorough yet easily understandable coverage of Dragonfable and its history. Some typos can be acceptable for other forms of Guides, as they often are accompanied by numbers and visual aids to convey their meaning and assist readers, but a Guide that is purely based on writing and focused on the telling of Dragonfable's story should contain as few typos as possible. -Faerdin

Guide: Dragonfable History & Plot Synopsis
What has changed since the last time I asked for approval?The typos have been edited, newest info added, and I have proofread the guide to minimize errors.
How does this make my guide better?It will be easier to understand and hence not so confusing

Guide not approved.
There is still a formidable amount of typos that have not been corrected.
The issue at hand is that most words have been spelled correctly, but there is a large amount of grammatical errors, with this being one example:

"She attacks you, and you defeats her. You asks her to free Aria as you presents to her the Schnozzberry bush. The Queen fainted after trying one. Meanwhile you save Aria and left the queendom."

When it should be more so like this:

"She attacks you, and you defeat her. You ask her to free Aria as you present the Schnozzberry bush to her. The Queen faints after trying one. Meanwhile, you save Aria and leave the queendom."

I would recommend recruiting another Forum Member who might be able to aid in correcting such mistakes. -Faerdin
