Discovery Tutorial Database - Part I
Updated: 15th April 2019


Introduction


This is a recreation of the former "Guide & Important links Datastorm" that has become quite outdated as time has passed. This new version will contain a lot of different things, ranging from useful hotlinks to guides for those that need them. If you have a contribution or something that should be added, send us a PM and I'll get on it. If you believe that discovery is lacking a tutorial on a certain subject or game mechanic, you can write one yourself and link it to me, or, alternatively, send me a message and I'll see if I can write one up.

Pinned. Unpinned all other threads since all info can be found here now.


RE: Tutorial Database - Corile - 06-04-2017

A few of the links aren't leading where they should be (like the one to my Discord tutorial).

I'm also surprised this is not there http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=139709


RE: Tutorial Database - Arioch - 06-07-2017
