Moderator note: this thread was originally posted by TeckXKnight. As he's been MIA for a bit, players should know who to contact if they have any information about guides that have become defunct, new ones to add, or questions that don't necessarily need a thread. I'm not trying to take credit for Tech's work, only make sure the players here know who they can reliably contact about any issues.
This is a compilation of unofficial guides and information threads available for H&H made by the community.
