[S4] SECTION IV: WAVEFORM'S WELCOME

If you're here, then I probably don't have to tell you anything about the enjoyably challenging game you've gotten yourself into.  Perhaps you're here because the first Stratum is eating you alive, or maybe you're just looking for some fast math to see if your so-called "Perfect Build" is as perfect as it sounds.  Either way, we've got you covered.

We here at Waveform felt that the Etrian Odyssey community deserved a fighting chance in the depths of ATLUS's latest entry in the series, so, with a little help from the nameless community hardcore, we've put together a tool that will not only help you work the kinks out of your favourite team but will allow you to share that team with other members of the community!

So, dungeon-crawlers, go forth and lay waste to the labyrinth.  Seriously, get moving before I show you how much scarier I am than anything down there, or maybe I'll just sic Agata here on you!

[S5] SECTION V: HOW TO USE

This tool is designed to allow you to prepare and plan builds for the various characters in your guild.  Files are saved out using an XML format so that they can be distributed and shared throughout the community.  Best of all, the XML contains a legible "Layman's Terms" section so that it can be read even if you don't have access to this tool to open it.

See the in-program Help section (F1) for specific details on use.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[S6] SECTION VI: PROVIDING FEEDBACK

Find a bug?  Is there a description error in a Skill?  Have some comments you want to share with the team?  Please feel free to contact them using the following e-mail address: WaveformFeedback@gmail.com.  Please include the term "EO3 Skill Calculator Feedback" in the e-mail heading.

Our contact will read through the e-mails and disseminate the necessary information back to the team.  In the event of filing bugs, please be as thorough and descriptive as you can be in order to help the programming team track the issue down.  "X function doesn't work" is rarely a valid way to file a bug!

[S8] SECTION VIII: SPECIAL THANKS

Waveform would like to give special thanks to the following:

* Atlus USA, for their hard work in bringing this fantastic game over for us all to enjoy (and be destroyed by)!

* The Etrian Odyssey III community, especially in Japan, for their avid deconstruction of many of the game's hard numbers and values.  This couldn't have been done without their dedication and hard work.

* Zaraf, for providing the Etrian Odyssey III community with a web-based skill calculator before the game was even released.  Check it out if you'd prefer a web-specific method of constructing your team.  You can find his work at: http://www.intothelabyrinth.net/etrianodyssey3/skillsim/
