Great List of Forum Game Guides

Nice to hear from you again JxSin

[Atticus Batman]

I wouldn't say gave up. I might be back. I haven't been playing games in general lately or have even checked this forum in a while. Life happened. Or I should say my life took some unexpected great turns that are consuming all my time and are more valuable than games. You will see me once again in the future when I have time and I will update this when I also have the time. Thanks guys and keep submissions coming. I will try to update this sometime this week

Haw it worked, and I lured him out of hiding!

Makes me a bit sad to realize with DLC 5 launch, a lot of these guides are now out of date. So much work was put into them!

RIP sticky thread...unless someone wants to update them.

I agree Drama. Hoefully they comeback and update their guides. If not then I guess they need replaced. Although I like Nilxain's guide, Cuba 666 has made an updated Warmaster guide. Guess that may need to go here, if Jxsin ever comes back.

Is there any kind of guide/thread on changes from pre-1.5 to 1.5+? I'm still trying to figure this out after my brief hiatus.

Not yet and they have only just begun to patch so we're all in the same boat.

my HP regen guide is not of much use anymore thanks to DLC5. I'm not going to do it again from scratch either. it took me a long time. The idea and findings are about the same but the HP numbers are all wrong now. I still don't know why our HP is a string of red blocks like metroid instead of being a quantifiable number. What the heck is the big secret? Now instead of getting 225 more HP you get 15% more. 15% more of what!!! From my report, DLC5 screwed us because fortitude use to give us about 18% extra health. Oh well. their are declining numbers of players and the game is just not keeping my interest like it did when it was in it's prime so I am out of the research business. Sad, I spent countless hours researching how regen rates and ego recharge rates work then DLC5 came out. The stacking patch also wrecked a lot of my research projects too.

I'm back, but as a casual player now (life happens). I will try to add any submissions when I can, however I don't know if time will allow me to completely update my guides. If someone wants to help out and do updated guides, I will post those and remove mine.

Those that know me know that I love information, collecting it as well as sharing it. I feel that people need correct information so they can watch out for the farces out there in the badlands. I have done a lot of personal research on things and have shared that to help others. I have created 3 great guides myself, with 2-3 more currently in the works, and have linked a lot of good guides in my signature. However, signatures can only be so big so I have decided to start this thread to share to the community all the great guides found on THIS forum. Many posts get buried in a matter of days and never seen (so I will be linking this thread in my signature in the future as well).

What you will find here: Great guides on game mechanics, guides for new players, guides for understanding synergies/mods/nano effects/shields.

What you won't find here: Trader guides, item pricing guides, weapon classification guides, etc. Not because I am against these guides, but most of them are built on preference, and we all prefer different things.

Please Help this thread: If I missed a guide that discusses something that's not listed, post it, PM me whatever. Any that are helpful and meet the above criteria, I will edit into this list. Sometimes there may be 2 or more guides on the same thing. So in order to avoid clutter, I will link the one I feel has the most and best info.

With that being said, here you go:

SiN's Ultimate Guide to Weapon Mods and Synergies

SiN's Nano Effects Quick Guide

SiN's Shield Guide

Mav's Guide to Weapon Bonus Rolls and More

I said I wouldn't list any non-forum site on here, but this one has been such a great source of info that I don't have a choice. It is very helpful.

Defiance Data

This last one isn't on the forums, and I haven't been able to track down a post with all arkfall codes. However, the following spreadsheet has been created by a fellow ark hunter/forum goer...

If you know of a guide not on this list, let me know and I will add it if it meets the required criteria.

I am always open to suggestions for more guides, as I like to research and make guides to help everyone out there. Thank you guys

Added the recommended guides. Also added Defiance Data cuz it is a very good source of info. May try to get around to updating or pulling my out of date guides soon.

If you need any help with redoing some of the guides lemme know. I'd be willing to do some of them again, the shields one though I will likely wait, as the update next week will be changing things again.
