Talk:Roleplaying character creation

Most of the individual profession pages are looking pretty empty. Should some infor be moved from this page to those pages? LordBiro/Talk 23:07, 31 May 2005 (EST)

I cleaned this article up a little, it looks a bit better now I think. I added quite a few links too (ie put   around a few words :) )

Ok onto the discussion part, inspecting how this page originally looked, I think that Nunix was trying to write a 1,2,3...x step guide. He's started with ''1. Choose Primary Profession, 2. Choosing Appearance, 3. Choosing a Name'' but it looks a bit incomplete.

There's a very long comprehensive info, pros and cons section for each character in regards to primary profession choice but nothing about secondary profession choise. Would it be better to simply say change it to ''1. Choose Professions, 2. Choosing Appearance, 3. Choosing a Name'' and add appropriate notes on each character if something is primary profession specific. E.g. if Strongest armor in the game. is a Pro for being a warrior, just adding after that: this only applies to primary warriors. The alternative is to have a section on choosing a secondary character which would be a big job. Any opinions one way or the other?

I think that this is an important and useful article, especially for new players so it'd be nice for it to be well written, but then again as someone who doesn't edit/create that many articles, any article I touch always seems very important to me!! --Xasxas256 07:12, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Considering you don't choose secondary profession during Roleplaying character creation, and at least half the point of Pre-Searing is to let new players get a feel of diff secondary professions (albeit not all that well done), I say don't include secondary prof stuff in this article. Either add it to a pre-searing guide, or use the Profession Combo articles to address this point (same secondary diff primary still work out very differently) -PanSola 07:30, 28 December 2005 (UTC)


 * That's a good point that you don't choose your secondary profession (I'd kind of forgotten that!) in PvE. But in the Pre-Searing_guide there's nothing about choosing a secondary profession, no hints, suggestions anything. I think it's really just mentioned in the Profession_Trainer article "Profession Trainers (not to be confused with Skill Trainers!) are the NPCs that will introduce you to your primary and secondary profession in Pre-Searing." It doesn't really say much at all such as how to choose your secondary profession, what combinations work well, what different classes have to offer as a secondary profession.

Another point for more advanced players is that u can change your second profession after being ascended. U get a quest in Droknar (near the Xunlai agent) where u have some quests in the desert area to get a different second profession. U can go hunting for new skills again (or just buy them) and u can allways switch back again. --Bahamut 09:59, 28 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I think this article should say:
 * How to choose a secondary profession (either who you need to talk to or a link to the Profession_Trainer page.)
 * That you can 'test' a secondary class in Pre-Searing
 * A few things on what each class can offer as a secondary profession
 * Perhaps some combinations that work well or a link to Category:Profession_Combinations (although the quality of these articles is pretty variable)


 * If you look at the popular guides on other sites, they're often on what classes to choose and on forums on other sites, you'll frequently see threads where someone asks what classes work well or they want to know if this a good secondary profession if I want to be a .... I think that the Guildwiki should be able to service those who are new to the game. For example I created the Primary attribute article only about a month ago, one of the problems is that many (most?) of the contributors to the Guildwiki are seasoned/knowledgable players so we might miss out on some of the early stuff. I don't know, just a thought, but either way I definitely think that the Pre-Searing guide should have some comprehensive info on choosing a secondary class and I reckon it belongs here instead of a seperate article as you said PanSola, I should really just start writting some stuff up about choosing a secondary profession and one of you higher ups can move it if you think it deserves its own article. In the time it took for me to write this thing I could have half done it!!!!--Xasxas256 09:30, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
