I'm not sure what book Mokona was reading when they wrote a review, but the guide for White Knight Chronicles is hardly "the worst ever". A brief summary:
Good:
1. Items list. The guide contains a monster specific list, including the percentages of drops per monter, what items they drop, and what tier of quest they drop that item in. Vital for anyone looking to obtain the best armor, weapons and items in the game. The guide does not point out the specific location of each monster, just the description of the items dropped.
2. Story Walkthrough. Although the walkthrough is very linear, the guide does make it a point to show where specific treasure chests are that you may miss the first time around. It's quite helpful when dealing with specific bosses or trying to open a locked door.
Bad:
1. Georama. The georama section in the guide is very poor. There's little description, only "buy this or recruit this person" as you go along. There's hardly any references to why the Georama town can be important as both a social network and obtaining rare items by buying rather then hunting each monster until you find it.
2. Quests. The quest sections in the guide are poorly written. As one reviewer noted, it contains very basic material like "go to point A and flip the switch" while noticing as you go along, another switch has been missed, causing the guide to be incorrect. 95% of all quests are very easy however, it's just poor writing on Brady's part to include the wrong information.
3. Tips. WKC is a very long game for those looking to complete everything. Brady fails to include any sort of trophy guide or any relevant information on obtaining the hardest aspect of the game, money. Money is terribly tight in the game until hundreds of hours have been poured into it. Some references towards this aspect would have been nice.
4. Binding list. One very poor feature Brady failed to include was a readable list of binding items. There is an armory list which includes the items needed to upgrade each weapon to +1, +2 etc but there is no list that mentions how to create the item in the first place. This sort of information has since been put together by the community, but it is still in poor taste that Brady couldn't be bothered to put together a very vital aspect of the game.
Overall, I would not recommend this guide unless you need a brief summary of the game and can manage to read the confusing layout they put together for the armory sheets.

As the titles says it's completly useless. The guide is missing most of the information you need regarding everything.
The storyline walktrough is pretty easy, you don't need the guide for it except when puzzles are involved. The review is based on the rest and mainly the quests which helps bulding the Guild Rank.
Their quest guide is mainly wrong : if you follow it you are sure to fail your quests. Did some quest 5 times or more and never got the result they were explaining.
Puzzles are not solved the right way, totally evasive information like `` you have to find a earth gem `` without giving the position of the mob who drops it. You have to remember the storyline walktrough to find it.
Sometimes they say monsters drops items needed for the quests and they don't because there is a chest whith the item in a room on the map. So you loose time trying to get the item from the monster. ( all the quest are time limit based and your rank depends of your speed to solve the quest )
Online quests or anything we can do online : not a single word. Difference between solo and multiplayer, you have to figure by yourself wich quest is better soloing than played multiplayer.
Quest rank ? They don't bother to explain that.
They give you a walktrough and quest walktrough but when you follow it, you obtain differents results they don't even mention.
Their maps are even missing the points descibed in their map legends ! and the most important info doesn't appear in the maps of course.
Need items to raise your georama stats ? You only have a description but no info where to get them or from which monster's drop or where to to buy them.
They mention reincarnation in the guide, but no valuable info on that. They don't even mention what's happening when you can't reincarnate.
Trophy collector ? They don't know we can gain trophies.
Final word : don't make the same mistake I did in spending money for this useless guide.

Wouldn't really recommend
Feb 7 2010
By Lisa Newcomb
- Published on Amazon.com
The guide itself is nice looking and well made. It does good on talking about the items and general help info. But the maps *the part you will DEFINITELY want to be good* aren't that great. They show you where save points are and where you can enter/exit that area. But they don't show you where you can harvest items. They tell you in the paragraphs where it is located *example C3. The map is set up like a grid* but not where in the square the item chest or harvest items are. So you can be looking around for abou 5 minutes just combing through the grid square trying to find a patch of flowers the guide says is there. I wouldn't really recommend this guide to most people. There are a lot of dedicated guide writers online who will be a lot more help to you then this guid is when it comes to items. If you are just interested in character bios and stats it's ok but nothing fancy.

Typical BradyGames Guide
Feb 8 2010
By Geomancer
- Published on Amazon.com
This is your typical BradyGames guide, several typos and short on information. Unfortunately it is all you have at the release of the game since online guides (at least good ones) do not exist... yet.
Maps:
These are helpful to see the entire zone; the map in game is zoomed in really far so you have to scroll around to see different areas making it difficult to get the overall picture. The downsides to the maps are they don't show anything but logic stone locations (save points). They do not tell you where harvest points are and they do not tell you where treasure chest locations are. In the text of the guide they will tell you some of these, but far from all of them. I could forgive them on the gather locations since there are a lot of them on each map, but not the treasure chests. I trusted the guide at first to let me know where those where, but when I went back later to do some grinding and to collect resources I found several more in areas that were not a direct path to the next story objective. Very disappointed in this.
General Walkthrough:
This is decent enough; it will guide you through all the puzzles in the game and keeps you on track for finishing the story. As mentioned above, it will point out some of the gather locations and treasure chests. It gives you the map grid location, you then must search within that grid for it. Sometimes it is more specific (Southwest corner for example) but not always. I have found some errors though, like telling you to go somewhere you can't because you need to complete a story event first. It will also tell you how to build your characters (in a general sense) if you need that kind of advice.
Boss Strategies:
They work, but I sometimes wonder if they even played the game. I imagine the advice would be more useful if you did a minimal level play through of the game, the advice plays up the boss fights as if they'll be very difficult when most are not. These are not bad though.
Quests:
Each online quest has a page in the guide to explain it. There is a table listing the boss and drops you can expect for each variation they have (Guild Rank can change the quest: Higher rank = Harder boss). There are some typos in this section which makes things annoying.
Bestiary:
This section is pretty good actually. It lists monster weaknesses and strengths along with drops and their rates. The list is also in alpha order instead of some arbitrary order. The list is broken into two sections, large monsters and normal sized monsters.
Equipment lists:
Big list of equipment, another useful section. It lists all the weapons, armor, and accessories along with what items you need to fully enhance them or to bind them (craft) in the first place.
Item List:
Really hate this section. It's just a big list with the prices that they cost (if you buy them in your Georama). This isn't useful at all. What would have been useful is if the guide told you HOW and WHERE to get these items. When you need a bunch of items to bind an item or build a georama part you are going to want to know how to get them, and get them fast (highest drop rate). Sadly, this guide does not tell you any of that. You'll have to search through the bestiary and find it yourself. One of the entries is missing, it even throws the table formatting off, very obvious typo that makes you wonder if this guide was proof read at all.
Georama stuff:
There are a few sections on the Georama aspect of the game, I'll lump my comments together about it. It will list out all of the parts you can build, the items needed to build them, the cost, and the benefits it will give. There is a section that shows every NPC you can recruit and what their stats are, and what city they are in. What this section really lacks is a section that tells you what level you need on the different stats to get items for sale in your general store. Again (as mentioned in my Items section) this would be VERY useful when you are trying to get specific items.
Overall:
I rate this guide as Below Average (that is what 2 stars means) because of the errors, typos, poor maps, and being absolutely no help on getting specific items (which is a huge part of the 'end game' in WKC). If you got it for just the story walkthrough and nothing else it's not too bad of a guide and it will get you through the game easily enough.

A terrible guide for those wanting detailed information
Feb 8 2010
By C. K. Mendoza
- Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
Though the walkthrough portion of the guide is sufficient, there are a few areas that lack any of the detailed information I was looking for:
Skill Charts
The only information in this part of the guide that cannot be found in-game is the pre-requisites for each skill. Even this information is not organized in a very useful manner, presented as text in a chart alphabetized by skill rather than listed as they are in-game. Detailed information that one would get upon purchasing a skill, such as the strength of each skill or their Action Chip costs, is nowhere to be found.
Materials
The numerous charts in the guide take up many pages, but all lack one very important element: where they can be found! Instead they've decided to include the short descriptions, which are not helpful in any way. If a player wanted to farm these materials, they would need to scan through the lengthy bestiary instead.
Stats
All throughout the walkthrough section there are tips regarding what skills to purchase, many times including stats such as vitality, dexterity, etc. Nowhere in the entire guide is any thorough explanation of what these stats mean, how they effect gameplay, or what advantages one character has over another.
Maps
The maps included along with the walkthrough are exact replicas of the large map you can see in-game, and have no added icons marking treasures, gather points, or larger enemies. This makes them just about useless.
Though the walkthrough is useful, anyone who wishes to find out some of the more detailed information about this game would be wise to instead reference the White Knight Chronicles Neoseeker wiki. It is a work in progress, but will eventually have much of the information lacking in this strategy guide.
