Is there an up to date wiki?

Hi everyone

 

As a new player (and a bit of an OCD completionist), I'm trying to find an update wiki for SWTOR, but am having some trouble.

 

The closest I could find to a quests database, for example, was this and it seems to be severely out of date:

http://www.swtor-spy.com/quests/

 

I also play Guild Wars and the wiki for the game is super complete, comprehensive and well organised - is there anything similar to this for SWTOR? See below:

https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Main_Page

 

Thanks!

Speaking as a (mostly former) GW1 player, I have to tell you something important. It isn't *their* wiki. It's *our* wiki, hosted by them. ("our" here means "belonging to us, the players of GW1").

 

Every word on the GW1 wiki (the GW2 wiki also) that describes the game and how it works was written by a player. Any contribution made by "cynique" is my fault.

 

But regardless of who *hosts* the wiki, it requires that someone writes it. The fact that there aren't SWTOR-oriented wikis in that state of completeness speaks mostly of a lack of will to build them on the part of SWTOR players, and I include myself in that category, sadly.

 

You might take a look at https://swtor.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_The_Old_Republic_Wiki .

Thanks - I've updated the wording in my original post to avoid any confusion.

I'd come across the wiki you shared, but it seems to be even less up to date and harder to navigate that SWTOR Spy :(

Generally speaking . . . no.

 

There are some non-wiki resources that are quite good however. First off, see the top sticky of the general forums here or the top sticky of the new player help. The Ultimate Guide of Guides by Lady Admiral, aka SWTORISTA.

 

Second, see SWTORISTA's website for the game or her youtube channel. She has LOTS of guides to the game and keeps em updated still.

 

Third, you have Vulkk's website for the game.

 

Finally, you have Dulfy's website for the game.

 

Between those three, SWTORISTA, VULKK, and DULFY most of the game's content is covered. I will say this though, navigating their sites can be problematic. So it is better to search through them by using google. For example, Google search, "SWTOR Leveling guide" and then look for the SWTORISTA, DULFY, or VULKK entires and not the wiki entries.

 

In fact, I would say that the relative completeness of those website is probably partially responsible for the lack of completeness of the wikis. Why bother editing a wiki when others have websites that already have all the goods after all?

For the record, Dulfy apparently stopped playing or something around 8 months ago or more, and hasn't updated the site since. Among that group it's now way behind. SWTORISTA and Vulkk are now your best bets. If you're at all into fluff items the TOR Fashion and SWTORStrongholds sites are good to keep bookmarked too imo.

Xam Xam at MMO Bits has also published some 6.0 guides.

 

Swtorista mentioned on Reddit that she is planning to update her awesome Guide of Guides in early 2020.

Ok, found a pretty good way of making sure I don't miss any quests.

I'm listing them out all on a list based on SWTOR Spy, but found this site that seems to be the most clear in capturing which bonus quests fall under which regular quests (even though it's missing a couple, which are on SWTOR Spy):

http://wow.allakhazam.com/wiki/Category:Quest_Series_%28TOR%29

 

With the 2 sources combined, can't miss anything.
