Something I've been wondering for some time now: how long did it take for you to realize that the guide explains recipes for a certain ingredient? It took me almost 200 in-game hours, and felt rather derpy after I found out. Now I have him locked up in my crafting area to reduce the time I have to spend looking up things online.

I checked out that feature day 1 when it was implemented. I remember when the guide actually had no use other than saying things like, "They say there is a person who will tell you how to survive in this land... oh wait. That's me."
That was a great patch, really negated the need to have the wiki brought up during the game
I didn't even know this.
My friend had no idea the guide had a use other than...you know what (don't want to spoil ANYTHING for those who don't know yet)...and he has spent almost 350 hours into it. He still thinks that it was implemented in 1.2 that he does that, lol.
He does that? .___.
I had no idea until now LOL
....I knew the day I started playing. I walked up to the Guide and checked all the little buttons like any sane person with an attention span would do. I hope everyone else here just bought the game before that patch and never knew about it afterwards, because it's a little sad that you'd totally ignore an NPC like that. But if it got patched after you started I totally understand, that's not something you would just know, you'd assume he was still useless.
I'd known since the beginning, but he really became useful once 1.2 hit, as I didn't check the wiki at all. There's nothing like the feeling you get when you stumble upon something like the Lihzard temple when you know nothing about it, and the guide really helped with that.
Same here. Always looked anything up on wikis till i realized i got that all in game .. Feels much smoother this way -
