Guardian's Field Guide - instruction booklet for new and returning players with what to do, how things work, and story recaps
I've been slowly putting together a guide the past few months in my spare time, and this week finally got it to a point where the main sections are relatively complete, so I wanted to share here in case it's useful for anybody picking up the game from the recent sales or coming back after being gone for years. It's available at:
https://guardians.guide/
- Guided Path: Beginning the game, general recommended quest order, other activities, and endgame stuff to work towards - Manual: Quick reference for how different parts of the game work such as gear, combat, progression, and more - Story: Complete brief timeline to get caught up on the story of Destiny, with character descriptions and related content lists - Major Changes: Listing of major features and updates added in each expansion (helpful for returning players) - Extra: Additional resources and information that are more useful once you've gotten a little familiar with the game

I always felt like Destiny is a game that would benefit from those little physical booklets you used to get in the front cover of the game box, full of short descriptions for the story and characters, how your character works, what there is to do, and other bits of info. And so after Monument of Triumph was announced I started to write down a couple ideas and eventually put this site together.
My goals with this guide are:
- Enable players to quickly get up to speed and playing the game, rather than going through lengthy guides - Cover questions that I see very often from new and returning players - Focus on core game mechanics and knowledge rather than detailed guides for specific content - Provide enough information to equip players to go discover the game on their own and have fun!
Hopefully there are some Guardians out there who will find it useful! Let me know if you feel it could be improved or new additions added. I have some ideas for extra pages, but I've gotten busier lately and I wanted to publish what I have so far. Whenever the original campaigns are restored I'll definitely be updating the story page :)
