Thread: Knowledge Base: Creature Handler Information
CS has been working hard with the dev team and the correspondents to give the Knowledge Base a major overhaul. We want this tool to be extremely useful to players looking for information in-game or out of game. We would love to get your feedback on how accurate the KB is for answering common questions.
In game, please open the Holocron (CONTROL + H by default), click on the "Customer Service" button and type your question in the box called "String". Double click on the Articles listed to get the answer.
Out of game, you can go to the Station Knowledge Base. Be sure to type "Star Wars Galaxies" in your question though or you will get answers back from other SOE games like EverQuest.

As you may have heard, the Knowledge Base has been getting an overhaul to make it the one-stop shop for information on all (non-spoiler) aspects of the game. If you get a chance, please check out the entries (particularly the CH-related ones) to see if there's anything that should be revised or added. This is a good chance to produce immediate and helpful change in the game. Change which new CHs are sure to appreciate.

Thank you for kicking off this post Vertexon. The Knowledge Base in game is quickly growing to cover more and more topics and provide the most accurate information possible. On a daily basis entries are published to the Knowledge Base and any errors that are located are fixed and published.ffice

The exciting thing about the Knowledge Base is that the response time for the entries can be so swift. If you locate an error in the Knowledge Base and bring it to your correspondent we can fix it and have the corrected version in game within hours or even minutes of receiving that information. Any gaps in the Knowledge Base can also be quickly filled.
I’ve asked your correspondent to start a thread like this for two reasons. First the Knowledge Base is very important to us, but right now it is under utilized. I’m working with the Correspondents and the Developers to increase awareness for the Knowledge Base. Soon we’ll be changing some things in game to make the Knowledge Base a lot more visible.
That brings me to my second reason for coming to you – information that is as complete and accurate as possible. When the Knowledge Base becomes more prominent it will be vital for it to be as complete and accurate as possible. We have been working internally and with the Correspondent program to comb the Knowledge Base and add new entries. We would really appreciate it if you could point out anything that you find to be in error, out dated, or simply missing. If you think a question needs to be asked that’s not here please post it, or send it directly to your correspondent. We’ll work to get as many into the Knowledge Base as we can.
Thank you for your support and we really hope that you find the Knowledge Base to be a useful source of information. Please keep in mind that the Knowledge Base is intended to provide information about systems and policies but will not provide direct spoilers.
The first line is somewhat misleading to any new player coming into the game. While the CH can tame and train, they are not the only profession that can keep/use pets.
Along this line, I have a suggestion. I am willing to bite the bullet on the relationship between BE and CH. In return, I would like to see all non-CH only allowed to use wild pets. As it stands right now a CL10 BE pet to a non-CH makes novice CH meaningless. The dabblers don't use any skill points to dabbler and they all have stronger pets than they had before. If you think this idea deserves further attention then I will post it as a seperate thread in the CH forum.
The Holocron is the In Game help system. Access the Holocron by pressing CTL H with the default Keymap. Then you'll see a Customer Service button that brings up the Knowledge Base.

A few more Creature Handler entries have been entered today. If you get a chance and would like to check them out, they're Article ID#s soe9638 - soe9652. Please do post if something looks strange or wrong in there.
I just want to thank Vertexon for these entries - its some really awesome work and gets some fantastic information regarding Creature Handlers into the Knowledge Base
article soe9710 should say a masterCH can hold 22 pets not 20
article soe9707 should also send the reader to reference article soe9023
i suggest creating an article outlining all the non-CH mount types. that is a VERY common question i get asked

I just wanted to stop by and say that we’re very thankful for all of the input we have received from the community. Over the last few weeks the Knowledge Base has seen literally thousands of new entries in every conceivable topic. Many of the best questions have come directly from these forums.

If you have not yet taken a look at the Knowledge Base I encourage you to do so. With Publish 7 (currently on ffice:smarttags" />
If you have questions regarding game systems, even if you know the answers to those questions or think they are silly, please either post here or work with your correspondent to get those questions to us. The more information we can put in the Knowledge Base the more useful it will be for all of us. We are also interested in feedback on existing entries from typos to incorrect wording or information. Bring those to your correspondent as well.
Finally I want to stress again that the Knowledge Base is one of the items in Star Wars Galaxy that we can update and modify whenever we choose. If you see that the Knowledge Base doesn’t cover a topic, or covers it poorly, get your correspondent’s attention and we’ll look at it. Changes made to entries are instantly visible in game and on the web site.
The link to the knowledge base out of game is http://station.sony.com/kb or you can find it in game by opening your Holocron (CTL H) and clicking on the Customer Service button in the lower left.
