Well, maybe not 24 pages, but it could definitely use some quick tips or hints, especially for new players. The game definitely doesn't hold your hand and lead you from point A, to B, C, then back to A again.
Knowing things like selecting the correct choices in conversations with the NPC vendors can increase their opinion of you and thus lower the selling price and raise the buying price of things they sell/buy. The Haggling skill can be helpful when dealing with some NPCs. There are no loot/cash drops from NPCs, you have to turn in your captured prey (talk to the prey and under manage, you can convert them to coins) for guild coins, which can be converted to useful cash from a vendor that appears at night.
