Pocket Guides

Updated Fri, Feb 29, 2008 by Xerin

Our series of pocket guides go into detail on various techniques, social etiquette, game mechanics, and many other subjects that don’t need a several page guide or could use a simplified version. Our pocket guides serve as a unique resource to help you become better at World of Warcraft through the power of knowledge.

So browse around! If there isn’t a guide here that answers your question then try our nifty site map (located on the front page) listing all of our various guides. Nothing there? Search the Ten Ton Wiki (a community editable resource) or ask in our forums!

Do you want to submit your own pocket guide? Email us at Xerin@TenTonHammer.com and we’ll see about getting it up to share with the community.
