What's this section all about?
  • 1 of 3: The checklists in this hint section organize a lot of useful data into a format that I believe is the most convenient to use. For instance, the player manual lists all the spells in the game, but you can't tell from it exactly what spells each character class can eventually learn, who all can learn Lloyd's Beacon, or anything like that.
  • 2 of 3: The information is presented as a series of checklists instead of simple data tables so that you can print them out and check off items and objectives as you attain them.
  • 3 of 3: Each set of checklists below has its own hint question that describes its nature and uses in detail. Read those to determine which checklists will most benefit you, then print them out. (If you're using version 5.10 of the UHS Reader for Windows, which is the current version as of this writing, use the "Print Window" option under the "Windows" menu while viewing a checklist you want printed.)
