Perhaps if so that's unfortuante I find it a lot easier to scroll through a written document than play a hour long youtube video.
Google now want you to download an app to access a load of their content. Cnuts.
His channel does d&d 5th ed stuff so that won't be any help. He may respond to a message though?
There are a whole lot of wizard guides that can be found here:

True dat.

I had noticed that Treantmonk's Monk guide was about to expire a while back, so it seems like he's either deleting them or letting them be deleted. There are other guides out there, but TM's guides are classic, and it's a shame to see them disappear.
Derklord, I had mentioned to BrokenZenith about the Monk guide when I noticed it, and they preserved it, so I mentioned your link to the archived Wizard guide. Maybe they'll be able to preserve it, although any formatting issues due to the Wayback Machine might make it more difficult.
If anyone wants to copy and format the guide so BZ can link to it, I have to assume they'd appreciate it.

I was able to copy/paste 52 pages (up to wish) which may be the whole thing (already formated except for the links to elsewhere) however I'm reluctant to share in case Treeant is deliberately deleting rather than just moving on. They put a lot of hard work into it. Its also from 2009.
Zenith says that page doesn't exist.

I downloaded a PDF back in 2015, likely from Google Docs. It also has 52 pages and dates back to Dec 11th, 2009.
If you worry about TreantMonk's stance, you could contact him. Most people feel honored if someone else cares about their work.

Good advice he replied that its still there and speculated someone had the wrong link. Here's the youtube link where he provided it as I can't seem to get it to work here (does when I click on it).

I really love the shifting nature of our hobby sometimes...

Except as noted, all of the following (ignoring guides to 3rd party stuff) are linked from the Zenith Gaming Guide to the (1st Edition) Guides (and this might have missed some guides that got updated in 2019 or later but didn't have this reflected in the Guide to the Guides):

Hmmmm.
I didn't phrase myself very well there. It's not that you're not doing a dashed fine job. It's that for many classes, the most up to date overall guide is still years out of date.
Looking at clerics as an example. The last whole-of-class guide is Tark's from 2014, dealing with Core and APG only.
Then there are a couple of guides about specific builds or class features.
Also the link to Rogue Eidolon's cleric guide is dead as the great googul says it violates TOS.
The same holds true for many of the classes. It's not a Zenith thing though. It's just that very few people really did much in the way of bigger guides after a certain point and focused on specifics instead.

Now that's a thoroughly mangled link. Try this instead.
Yeah, just so everyone knows, when you post a string of characters that's over 75 characters, Paizo puts a space in the string so that it will wrap around to the next line for smaller screens. This means you can't copy and paste URLs directly unless you also hunt down any spaces after pasting.
I'll post on the class guide thread so that Zenith knows what the new link should be.
Thanks!

^To clarify, you have to look for and remove spaces added by the messageboards when copying from the post and pasting to your address bar. Whoever pastes the link in without properly formatting it as a link(*) can't do anything about it (the spaces don't even appear until the post is saved).
(*)For instructions, click on the button after "How to format your text" when creating a post -- this hasn't changed for at least 10 years.
Never could figure out how Rogue Eidolon's Cleric Guide (which I looked at a LONG time ago) could violate Google's Terms of Service. Best guess is that it got hacked into something that did, after Rogue Eidolon was no longer around to complain about it.

Oops, forgot to answer the other part of your comment. The beauty of this is that actually I'm not doing the job at all, just listing people who have (and giving input on their discussion threads). But agreed on an awful lot of classes having their most up-to-date guides being way out of date.
