In addition, there are quite a few guides on steam, several of them not in the above list:
List of Guides on Steam




This list should encompass all guides that can be found on the forums and the wiki. I tried color-coding the guides for outdatedness, on a green to red scale. Please correct any incorrect assessments, as I did skim the guides, but might have missed some of the relevant patch notes. I will try to keep the list updated. I'll greatly appreciate any help in doing so.
I also suggest posting any guides published on steam written by forum members. I know there are several great beginner guides out there.

[Red]

In the Spoilers sections, there are subforums for each metaclass.

But as for a real proper guide collection, not that I'm aware of.

[Fhtagn]

I am well aware of the subforums, but even there, guides are often buried (as they are not stickied) and hard to find. Most people do not use forum searches.

[Fhtagn]

I just went and compiled the list. I hope it helps.

[Davion Fuxa]

Looks like you missed mine:

Inscription Guide - Update 1.2.3 - Available on Steam

There may be a few others hiding specifically in the Spoilers board, or even in General Discussion (as bpat had a previous Inscription Guide for the version where Frozen Spears existed before mine). You may also want to go on Steam. There are some guides there as well that maybe should use referring too:

Tales of Maj'Eyal Steam Guides

On a side note is one other resource as well that may be worth including, video guides. Two main ones of note then:

Let's Play: Tales of Maj'Eyal (ToME) - A Beginner's guide
Let's Learn Tales of Maj'Eyal

[Red]

Fhtagn, all I have to say is thank you. Thank you a million times over. Now all we need to do is get a moderator to sticky this to the top of a forum somewhere.

[Fhtagn]

Thank you, Davion, I will include those.
*bows to Red*

[Dracos]

This is a good thing to organize.

[malboro_urchin]

Neither zone order guide exists on the wiki, and the only one I found after searching didn't cover the East at all.

[anathema]

great list, was looking for something like this when i was new, thanks

[Red]

Dang. Looks like the only missing guide is Demonologist. I'm impressed at how put together the resources of the ToME community are, once they're actually organized. Will definitely make trying out new things much easier.

[Fhtagn]

Thanks, marlboro_urchin, I corrected the URLs. No idea what happened there, probably some slip while copying them.
Edit: The first one I listed does include the East, the other one does not.

[Fhtagn]

Updated:

• Skeleton Brawler
  Breath-based Wyrmic.

[Xandor Tik'Roth]

Stickied.

Well done sir or madam.

Tigerle made an incomplete Sun Paladin guide. Don't know if it should go up on the list, but it's probably worth keeping an eye on. He says he'll be fleshing it out.
