Sources & technical notes

Frame — Only one guide, the first in the library, is written. This guide reuses its layout; the skill bar and play loop names come from the library row, and every class-specific panel reads "Not established for this build yet". The remaining tables are the same sample for every build, and this page is closed to search until it has its own rows.Season — Sample snapshot: Season 14 · Season of Death Awakening.
