First, welcome to new and returning visitors alike! Because navigating blogs and finding the best posts from long-term blogs like this one can be difficult, we thought it prudent to devote a static page to a list of links to featured posts here on THM. The list below is comprised not only of top informational posts, but also the most commented/popular posts, and posts we enjoyed writing the most.
We try to keep all of our guides up-to-date as content and patches are released and mechanics change, but we currently have a database of over 500 articles, which makes it difficult to go back and review every single one each time a patch is released. Check the publish date displayed on each article. If it’s from more than a year ago, chances are good that it’s a bit out of date. This page is populated with links to articles that contain up-do-date information only (unless otherwise stated), so all the links you find here should contain accurate information. Articles that are displayed as a strike-through are potentially outdated and we’re in the process of updating them.
If you find an article listed here that contains outdated information, please let us know so we can either update it or remove the link.
