| I'll be using this thread to post updates to the npc and npcdesc xml files. For those who are unaware, these files include the information of where to find skills, and the vast majority of that information is what skills Boss Monsters have (it also includes Skill Trainers and quests that give skills). By updating these files and making them available to the GWFreaks staff, they can include the updated data into the next patch.
I will also update skill-related xml files, to make them exactly as they are displayed in Guild Wars. These files are the SkillDesc and Skills xml files. If you detect any difference between what it says in the game and what it says in GWFreaks (it should be identical), feel free to tell me which skill to double-check.
In the meantime, if you don't want to wait for the next patch, you can download these files and overwrite them (exit GWFreaks, overwrite files, open GWFreaks). You can find the files you need to overwrite in the 'xml' folder of wherever your GWFreaks program is installed to (in my case, it's C:/Program Files/GWFreaks/xml). If you plan on submitting data to me to help out, please make sure you have the latest copies of the XML (available below) so that the information you are about to submit hasn't already been taken care of.
GWFreaks managers, please post here if these files are updated by anyone other than me, so I can merge with that version instead of only updating my own version.
I'll edit this post to delete and update the attachments, and post replies to say when I've done so and what I've added/changed.
As far as I'm concerned, GWOnline.Net may also use this information, and of course GWFreaks, but not anyone else (unless it's for use within the GWFreaks program). But for full details, the GWFreaks managers will know better, considering I'm submitting the data to them directly.

If anyone would like to help me, please e-mail screenshots to Thortok2000@msn.com.
What your screenshot needs to include:
A) (Required) The boss' name (if you have him targeted, the name will be in the target window, or in a cap sig, if you take it)
B) (optional but strongly desired) A map location (the map window's default key is U, the map needs to be open when you take the screenshot)
C) (optional but desired) A skill the boss uses, either by having the signet of capture window open and showing them all (please resize the window so all skills are shown and there's no scrollbar!), or by having him targeted and showing him using it.
You can compress or not compress, or change the extension to jpeg, I don't care. However, please do not crop the photo, so I can confirm its accuracy.
Please try to make sure you are providing information I don't already have. You can check this by downloading the latest version of the xml files below and installing them like I mentioned above. I don't want to get swamped with a ton of e-mails showing information we already know anyway. If the location is a new spot for that boss, or if the skill does not have that boss mentioned, then please submit. ^_^

| | Holy god! You did a great job on this one  . 71 added information and 19 updates. I wasn't expecting that much, but it's now integrated with the GWFreaks library.

| There was also a lot where the zone was correct but it didn't have any coordinates, I fixed a couple of those.

| Maybe this is the best place to mention it. The Aurora glade boundary (the white line) on the map does not include the part you teleport to after completing the main part of the mission. You do some stuff with gems and then teleport to a new area, go a little farther, and kill a huge boss. That little area is still in the 'Aurora Glade' zone, but on your map, you have that area marked as 'Henge of Denravi'.
One of the bosses' location was in that area, for Aurora Glade, which is why I noticed.
And since I'm talking about map errors, 'The Wild' zone is not fully explored. That threw me at first, I had a little trouble finding the right coordinates until I realized my map was more complete than yours.

| A couple skills added to the Warrior, Ranger, and Necromancer bosses found in Elona Reach.
A boss without skills added to Salt Flats, can always add skills later, good to get the location now. I'm going to try to capture screenshots of skills I see a boss use if I'm not of that boss' profession, it may not get ALL that boss' skills but it can get some (unfortunately I didn't think of that until after). Later, when I beat the game, I'll go through the bosses on the list and kill every one with the character of that profession to see what skills it has. That should take care of them all, as well as find more in the process, as well as alternate spawn spots. Quite a daunting task!

| I tried deleting the priests, the delete function is the one I'm not sure about, not sure if it works.

| It didn't, so I opened npc.xml in notepad and deleted all the priests that way. Now it's done. ^_^
