There is always a lot of questions on what to do when you're new or recently returned. One of our big focuses is improving our guides and quest pages to make them the best resources out there. Even older players can appreciate a hub of information sometimes!
If you have any suggestions for links to add or about a guide you think needs improvement, let us know! As always, the latest game news is available on our main page. Our wikibase main page also has lots of handy links.
