Suggestions: very brief motivation might be nice, distinguishing a walkthrough (do A->B->C) from a guide (you want A or B, which you can get easily from C or D). For example,

"Head to Pilant's Hardware and Soft Wear & Pick up,
 +
* 1 flashlight
 +
* 1 kneepads
 +
* 1 bicycle."
 +
might further explain "You're trying to obtain an inexpensive item for each empty equipment slot on your character sheet. You can't wear duplicate items (else you might buy e.g. 2 <strike>flashlights</strike>)." --[[User:Tycho Everett|Tycho Everett]] 14:23, 3 June 2008 (MST) Yah, sorry, I meant wearing two of the same Accessories in your Accessory slots (in this case Knee Pads). --[[User:Tycho Everett|Tycho Everett]] 17:21, 3 June 2008 (MST)

if someone has an idea or suggestion put it here and i will see what i can do.--Reaper 03:53, 3 June 2008 (MST)

  • 1 flashlight

"Do not use the Magic truck vehicle." Note that there are some other items that slow you down, specifically don't equip the Remaindered cell phone from the Black Market. --Tycho Everett 15:41, 3 June 2008 (MST)


The Remainder cell phone has benefits, and i didn't want to limit what players consider useing.
the Where to start section is a brief section to help jump start those players who haven't even spent a turn,
and to show players where to get what they need when they find them selfs overwhelmed.
(i doubt there will be that many new player who find the wiki without even useing a turn.)

as most players know from other games you can not equip 2 items to a single slot, the only confusion that most new players have with it is the accessories slots and duplicate items and i covered that in Equipment. as most things this takes time.--Reaper 16:37, 3 June 2008 (MST)

I wouldn't say "Don't use these items," but it would certainly be worth taking a moment to explain that "adds +X to turn duration" is a bad thing. Cristiona

I hope you don't mind, Reaper, I've been making a few grammar related edits and readability changes.

  • That's fine but there are 2 that i have a minor problem with first is in the game it's jetpack and not "jet pack" (I should have made it a link) and XP is also in the game. but the other stuff are things that i missed. thanks :) --Reaper 20:43, 7 June 2008 (MST)
