First of all im a newb to the game, so its hard to figure everything out, besides that the wiki is not really easy to comprehend, and it seems outdated.
I do not really care and dont mind asking/looking to find something out, but i think it will scare a LOT of newbs away.
For example: If i go to the town hall i see this: Mine Not Qualified
Now, i put a lvl in that profession. so i should be able to buy it. So there im stuck, i go too the wiki i can find that mines are not available in ALL citys, but just in some, but it does not say wich towns, also its noted that all that info is about V6, we are in V9 now and going to V10, so im not even sure if thats accurate.
The idea: Make it possible to hover over Not Qualifiedm and make it tell you why.
You do not have a profession point in mining. You are not in Tear/Illian/Tar Valon, those are the only 3 towns you can build a mine in.
Or something like that.
Thanks for your time. -Darchaon

I hear what you're saying and agree. I'll be the first to admit I'm bad at documentation. I also agree that it can be a bit overwhelming for new player to try and figure things out. That was the reason I added the wiki to hiope to relieve that some. I know everything was updated as of V8 and at least some stuff as of V9, but would not be surprised if some things are out of date again. It's an imperfect process.
Tooltips (little pop ups that describe what it is you're hoving over) is something I'd love to add and started to some last version (Estates have them). Adding them to everything though will take a lot of work and when it comes down to it, I'd rather write code for new things than describe old stuff (hence I'm bad at documentation). I really should try to make it a priority though and will add it to my list of things for V11.

I am a returning player and was amazed at the new content in the game. Darch I found the players very helpful and happy to answer any questions. A clan is also a great source of info. If you get stuck send me a message my characters are the Bobs, and I will get back to you pretty quick. I'm sure everyone else would be happy to help as well.
