Thanks for this guide and I'm glad that our community is becoming better and better,
I wonder... Not so long ago guides were written both a lot faster, with better quality and with a lot more input from fellow questers. If anything the number of people helping out with a guide has diminished, not increased. The whole proces of writing a guide seems to have changed. Look at the second guide (or first if you look at when it was started); one without the levels to even start the quest, starts to write a guide based on information of others. One thing that has to be missing from such a guide are the little things only a quester can write down, because he experienced them. Experience is one factor that decides the quality of a guide, one of the others is the factual information.
Look at it this way: There are plenty of quests that can be done in many different ways. Not the actual things you have to do, but the traveling, where to bank, what to take out of a bank, what armour to use, what order of getting materials, you name it. A guide has to reflect that, or rather, I think a guide has to reflect that. This guide isn't bad, but I wouldn't call it excellent. One thing that has me stumped till this day: Why do you need a rope? It isn't used during the quest, only mentioned by Ali the Wise. Can you finish the quest without it? Dunno.
As-is, it is an ok guide, just not my kind of guide, but who am I to judge? Each has his/her own preferences
