User:Wizardboy777/Newbie Guide/Build Creation

The essence of PvXWiki is to create, comment, edit, and rate builds. The starting point for any build is imagination.

build prof=1st prof/2nd prof 1st attribute=lv+rune(+headpiece) 2nd attribute=lv+rune(+headpiece) 3rd attribute=lv+rune(+headpiece).....last attribute=lv+rune(+headpiece) . [[build prof=1st prof/2nd prof 1st attribute=lv+rune(+headpiece) 2nd attribute=lv+rune(+headpiece) 3rd attribute=lv+rune(+headpiece).....last attribute=lv+rune(+headpiece)][1st skill][2nd skill][3rd skill][4th skill][5th skill][6th skill][7th skill][8th skill][/build].
 * 1) Think up a good idea for any genre of GW, like PvE General, RA, HA, Farming, etc...
 * 2) Test the build in GW before you post it, see if it works reasonably well for you.
 * 3) Post the build on PvX. To do this, one must have some knowledge of PvXcode.
 * 4) Any build should start with . TOCright moves the Table of Contents over to the right, where it is most easily read.
 * 5) After TOCright is applied, put on the tag. This indicates that the build is a work in progress and that you are not finished with it yet.
 * 6) Begin with an introduction of the build, saying its title and purpose, and why it is good in the area that it is meant to be in.
 * 7) Add proper links to Guildwiki. I.E. you want to say that the build uses Lightning Orb well. To link this to Guildwiki, simply put Lightning Orb . For other skills/items/locations, substitute Lightning Orb for those locations. Note that you do not have to link something every time it appears, only the first time. If you Wish to Link to Guildwars Wiki use desired text . Also note you should generaly just leve the links pointing to where they were first put, don't go changing to the other wiki because oyu think it's better.
 * 8) Next comes the actual build. Start off the build with . Pvxbig is necessary to set the attributes. ##Then start a new row and put in [[build prof=1st prof/2nd prof . Naturally, substitute 1st prof and 2nd prof for the correct professions. If there is no specific 2nd profession needed, put in /Any.
 * 9) After that, put in the attributes. There are no spaces, for example, Fire Magic becomes FireMagic or simply Fire. Earth Prayers becomes EarthPrayers or simply earthpray. Put in the attributes in the form of Attribute=attribute lv+rune+headpiece. For example, having 12 earth prayers with a superior rune of earth prayers and a headpiece of earth prayers results in earthpray=12+3+1. Having 11 smiting prayers, a major rune of smiting prayers, and a headpiece of another attribute results in smitin=11+2.
 * 10) The format so far is:
 * 1) Now put the skills in this format: [1st skill][2nd skill][3rd skill][4th skill][5th skill][6th skill][7th skill][8th skill][/build]
 * 1) The whole format is:
 * 1) Move the build into Trials when you are finished with the build.. To do this, change into.
 * 2) In this stage, other PvX wiki members will comment on your build, asking you to add or remove skills and other various comments.
 * 3) Move the build into Testing. Simply replace the Trial part in with Testing. In Testing, others will rate your build.
 * 4) The build will be moved into Great, Good, Other, or Trash depending on the rating that you recieve.
