Trying to find information on Wildstar's content and coming up blank? Look no further, as here are all the links you'll likely need! Are you a Wildstar fansite creator and want to be listed? Post below! For information regarding non-raid PvE content I will only be featuring one video (however I am seeking written guides, too!) If there is content missing and you have a handy-dandy video, I will happily incorporate it into this original post. I will always prefer guides and videos that are more recent unless one already exists for the current drop except in cases where the content has seen no changes (i.e. Bay of Betrayal since its release) so if you have a new guide to replace outdated information, please post it! In all cases I prefer to have your full website address or link so that folks know where they are browsing to!

			This thread needs to be stickied, imo.	
----
			THIS is a good site to add. One stop shop.	
----
			
I was about to click on some of those links but my internal keylogger alarm and my spidey senses are going off like crazy.  And a little Devil Chua and Angel Chua just appeared on my shoulders and they're about to get in a little argument i think.
 
 
Nah but seriously though...its a nice gesture to gather up a bunch of links. But me having played MMOs for several years and being really paranoid about account security, keyloggers was one of the first things that came to my mind when i saw so many different sites being mentioned in this thread.  JH and YT are the only ones i would trust because everyone talks about JH.  What assurances can you give us that the other sites are legit? other than you saying "yah they're legit"?	
----
			
I mean, I'm not really sure what I can tell you? All of these sites are ones I've visited personally and oftentimes regularly and have been recommended/used by plenty of others, none of us have had any security issues. I posted all links as is particularly so you know exactly where you're going, the hyperlinks are copy/pasted right in.
 
Beyond that, yeah really not sure what I can tell you. Just trying to provide a service to new players and old alike by consolidating all the various sites and WS threads for information. I guess it's up to you mostly if you want to look at the other websites or stick to the more well-known websites like jabbithole and youtube.	
----
			
I dont think i'm going to start poking around their site just to see if it looks secure.  One of the many things/rumors i've heard which i've never bothered to confirm is that keyloggers can be transmitted via ad banners on sites.  You dont even have to click on them as long as its displayed you can get infected.  But like i said i've never tried to confirm it, thats just what i heard so i dont even know if its true or not.  But its enough to keep me from going to random gaming sites or googling gaming terms and clicking on whatever links come up.
 
I mean yah its doing new players a great service giving them this info.  But you'd be doing them an even bigger disservice if you are unknowingly sending them to sites that could be putting keyloggers on their pc which could not only compromise their WS gaming accounts but also other gaming accounts or maybe even banking account info.  And if your only method of trying to see if the sites were safe is "nothings ever happened to me" then i dunno what to say.
 
Buuuuut its probably just me being overly cautious and overly paranoid.	
----
			
I know the scare you were referring to and that was a case of an inaudible sound being projected and - if I'm not mistaken - was aimed at phones which would then use your linked devices to transmit itself? But that type of virus has had so little press that it was either a short scare or a hoax.
 
That said, I'm going to say you are safe in this case for browsing any of these. I had no flags or faulty certificates crop up. It's mostly up to people to make sure they don't have swiss for a security system - even websites like mmo-champion have gotten hit by that kind of stuff.	
----
			
If it's malicious ads you're afraid of (and are not using an adblocker in that case for whatever reason) it becomes a secondary concern what site you're on and the primary concern how they serve ads. If an infected ad actually makes it to one of the big ad serving companies it can hit a lot of sites no matter how trusted or well established the sites are.
 
I remember exactly that happening to WoW's jabbithole equivalent in the past and the site is generally safe and gets a lot of traffic.
 
The only way to be completely safe is not connecting your computer to anything at all, certainly not to the net.
The next best alternative is setting up a good security, blocking all the things you don't need and don't know to be safe and knowing how to handle account security.
 
Thanks for the handy compilation, Bloodrose, it lets me cut down on the number of bookmarks I have for WS.

My paranoia doesnt run *that* deep...
 
I wont turn my internet off, but i usually stick to just the official game forums.  I wont ever google gaming terms for whatever game i'm playing and i'll never tell someone in game to "just google it".  Like taking WoW for example i've played since the end of vanilla to present (on and off).   I've only been to the WoW forums, bosskillers, tankspot, e-j, mmo-champion, curse, wowhead, wowwiki and i think 1 or 2 other sites. I wont visit Jim-Bobs wow site or random fan sites. I'll only visit other sites if i hear a lot of people talking about it.  I've actually posted on the official forums if certain sites are safe just to see what people say.  I did that for WoW actually when i came back after a long absence and i heard that curse got hit with some stuff.  If i really really want to check out a site that i'm not 100% sure about i'll do it from a spare laptop that i use just for surfing which i never use to access my bank account and never use for any other mp games.

NoScript is your friend. It blocks everything that you don't specifically allow.
 
Thanks for the list. I'm sure I will need it as I get closer to max level.	
----
			
I'll take this moment to encourage guide-makers or folks who are looking to help out the community to make updated guides to either replace the old and outdated guides or content that is just plain missing!
 
My list of needs currently are:
Housing
Roleplay
New Player Help
All adventures except Bay of Betrayal
Skullcano
Warrior tank guide
Stalker DPS guide
Initialization Core Y-83 (Augmentors) raid
 
Beyond that, if you have a general info site, a place to get Wildstar news or features, or have a website that is a resource to players, feel free to post it here. I'll keep this thread updated regularly. I'll leave the PvP section alone unless asked though since that is being handled by Revon's thread of similar taste in the PvP section which is linked to here.

I must have missed that one! I will go ahead and add that to the list. Thanks!
 
To me if it's clear and concise and you know what you're looking at is all that is important to me, so external website isn't necessary! I'll be happy to link to things within Wildstar's own forums for ease of navigation. I've tried to grab what I could find fairly easily from the Wildstar forums without digging through pages upon pages, but sometimes I overlook things. :P

			Oh no not at all! Honestly I was a bit embarrassed I completely overlooked Abux's guide. :P Pointing things like that out though is definitely very helpful and is always appreciated.	
----
			
Underneath the general webpages I have now added in official Wildstar webpages! They're kind of buried inside of Wildstar's website, so figured it'd be useful to have quick links to them. Will be adding more as time goes on.
 
If you would like to see this post sticky'd or you happen to use it please give it a like or post! Will hope that this has a continuous presence to help out all those folks looking for information.

			That's not a bad idea. Let me go ahead and do that - I'll leave the general section as is and change the following ones.	
----
			Really sad too see, that you haven't added the WildWeave Network with all our Guides, News, Overviews and Dataming Stuff. :(	
----
			Well, that's why I ask for the community to help by giving me website names I'm missing! :P I sadly cannot be aware of all of them, but if you see one missing, let me know! I'll take a peek at Wildweave right now and go ahead and add it.	
----
			
You seem to have integrated most of the things I had bookmarks for and a plethora of sites that look rather useful I didn't know existed :D Great job!
The three bookmarks I have left are WS' facebook, twitter and the WildStarOperations/Support twitter.
(Because giveaways and checking if there's issues on my end or on theirs)

For what I do see on Wildweave it's staying up to date, but I'll keep the description of it to what's actually there and mention that it is currently largely under development. It's only one more link and the general list is (not yet) overfull. Any news site or site based on timely updates, though, that start dropping off I'll take off of the list.
 
I do hope you guys get the time in to fill it up, though.
 
Also, added in the Wildstar facebook and twitter pages. Thanks!

			Bumping - very useful

Some new projects I see here and there, and hoping they will get off the ground soon and then I will be adding them.
 
Also, would be nice to have guides for housing help on hand. Tips and tricks, how to use Katia's addon effectively, etc.	
----
			
you can http://wildstar-docs.eufor Addon documentation if you want. 
The project is still under construction as documenting every single API call in this game is a humongous task, but we're working on it.	
----
			The spoiler thing is a little much. But that's my opinion.	
----
			
I think I'm a fan of the drop-downs simply because most of the people viewing through will be looking for specific information and they can pick and choose how many links they get inundated with. I specifically chose to exclude the General links, however, since they offer so much information by themselves.
 
I'll keep evaluating it though and may continue to change the formatting as time goes on to find the sweet spot.	
----
			Keeping this on the front page - good information!	
----
			Some updates to the what's needed - still need new guides to the adventures. Warrior tank and stalker DPS have been covered now, though. Could use more new player help topics, housing and roleplay stuff. I see some projects in the works for roleplay, but a 'housing tutorial' would be great!	
----
			This is a great resource, and would be well worth being stickied. Is there actually a way to get it stickied, does anyone know?	
----
			
For new players what about Fluffy's guide as that has alot of good information in it for what to do at lvl 50.

			Indeed! And included.

			Requesting sticky. Great for new players as well as veterans.

Wow there's actually a sight for mounts 
 
GG op	
----
			I'll be going through these links soonish to make sure they are still all functional. Saw that earlygame (the build creator) was going whonk for a bit but seems to be functioning again.	
----
			
No pruning was needed! Earlygame managed to wrangle nyan cat and is functioning again it seems, for those who were confused about that.
 
Adding the links for Arcterra.	
----
			
And pulling this up from the pits of hell since Drop 7 has seen a surge of new players.
 
Don't think there's anything to update at this point, though written dungeon guides and adventure guides would be pretty legit.
