About These Hints
These hints should tell you how to solve all of the main plotline quests and many of the major side quests, like the Resistance and Rukh quests. In a few cases, I've described some of the lesser side quests, particularly early in the game when money is tight or later in the game where the rewards are great. I've also included some information on MysTech and on where to find each character's skills and best possible weapons.
However, please keep in mind that this is a hint file that's intended to help people when they're stuck. It's not intended as a complete reference of every last thing that you can do or of every last item you can collect, as I do have other games I'd like to play and write hints for. Also, hints for one quest that's part of a larger quest may be covered as part of that larger quest to reduce spoiler potential -- I tried to hide questions whose very listing might give something away.
If you're stuck in a quest that I have covered or if you find errors in any of my existing hints, e-mail me at jstrautman@uhs-hints.com, and I'll be happy to answer your question or take your suggestions. Or if you think there's something that I've omitted, also feel free to write me, and I'll try to answer you or use your comments. However, please do use some discretion in the latter case -- if you're just writing to tell me that I left out a simple, obvious delivery-style quest that has no real reward anyway, then odds are I knew about it and just felt that it wasn't suited to UHS-style hints.
Also, thanks to some of the posters at www.planetanachronox.com, whose info helped me to find some of the rarer items in the game.
