The problem with the UFSG isn't because of the lack of information, everything more or less is generally on there it's just that there isn't a toggle for everything.

 

Other than the chests/buffs/potions/etc... Most of the valuable information we lost on the wiki was guides and unique information and you can't really automate guides... We are treading on the lines of AI there and i'll be damned if you can conjure that up. HCS likely would want to hire you ofcourse only if your AI tags along so they can work it to death.

Ah, I wasn't aware that guides were lost. I was under the impression it was just that all of the image links were broken

Sorry to bump this post. I quite like the wiki and think its very useful. I am not sure what happened to erase 4 years of work. Could somebody explain? I've been going through the pages and its very easy to fix them from an image standpoint.

A bad image looks like this: "http://huntedcow.cac...tiles/7_49.gif"

A good image looks like this: "http://cdn.fallensword.com/tiles/7_49.gif"

I've fixed a handful of pages towards the beginning of content in a short amount of time. Essentially, I just edit the source, copy it, paste it into a text editor and execute a find and replace.

find: huntedcow.cachefly.net/fs

replace: cdn.fallensword.com

Then paste it back onto the page. It's very easy and quick. Would this be helpful to anyone if I began to fix the wiki?

I am also thinking that there is a chance I could make a bot that goes to every page and executes the find and replace instead of manually doing this. PointyHair could probably do something like this fairly quickly. He should definitely take over if he wants to. I am just finishing up some exams but could look into programming a bot if he does not have the time to invest. I'm studying to be a software engineer but have no done any web based programming like this before so it should be a fun learning experience.

Also, can anyone from HCS let me know if this sort of automation is frowned upon? I know having a bot play fs is bad, but can I try to develop one that would fix the wiki?

correct stop at the 4th i think can test yourself to make sure.

Thanks! I'll try it out for sure. I never heard about hunting champions for more XP

3 and 4th level give you same xp as reg creature but a lot more gxp.

I am level 981. So does that mean I should hit

Volmar Ram (Champion) lvl 980 until I am level 984.

Then hunt normal mobs until 987. Then hit Dark Horseman (Champion) lvl 987 until I am level 991? Rinse and Repeat?
