Lineage II

Foreword
Welcome to the Lineage 2 Wikibook. The intent of this Wikibook is to provide a player and game guide to the world of Lineage 2.

This piece of work is created to capture the contributors' experience and, to an extent, opinion of the game. This is done in the hopes of sharing the knowledge gained in an objective manner.

This Wikibook will attempt to give a broad overview of the game, going into specifics with regards to some gameplay strategies etc. This is an ever-evolving Wikibook and is not intended to be the be-all end-all guide -- any gamer familiar with MMORPGs will realise the futility of writing that kind of guide.

What this Wikibook would NOT be is a Quest/ Weapon/ Armour/ Mob/ Drops stats lookup; there are plenty of fan sites out there with much better data. It is advisable to check out the sites listed in the links section (to be updated later).

The above has been struck out but not edited out because there is a point in including Quest walkthroughs to help players get the most out of them. Wiki's pretty good at keeping these information up to date. Same probably applies for recipes.

However, Weapons/ Armours/ Mobs/ Drops may not be ideal here. They change way too often. Still, I think we can go with that and see what happens.

This Wikibook will also not take information from the NCSoft's Lineage 2 site; That is copyright violation. It is encouraged for the readers here to refer to that information directly instead. Where necessary, the content here will make references, but the intention is for this Wikibook to bring new content/ viewpoints/ guidance to the Internet.

Appeal for contributions
It is not practical for a single author to encapsulate all the knowledge possible within Lineage 2. This is because: I hereby appeal to the fans of the game to contribute your knowledge, but please try to word any entries in an objective manner -- we ARE trying to do good here, despite the often-quoted shortcomings of the game.
 * There is too much content for any single player to go through on their own.
 * NCSoft does not reveal some aspects of the game to the gamers, making the gamers fall back to observation and analysis -- and these are often coloured by personal bias.
 * MMORPGs are by nature evolving beasts; the content of what we have now needs to be constantly updated.
 * There is lots of PVP(player versus player) content, wich provides exciting epic scale battles.
